Ch. 2101..2110

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2101-Madam Mallory was not as nervous as Pierre upon hearing the news. "There'll always be someone willing to step up if you offer enough money."

"I don't have that much cash on hand now," Pierre confessed. He had already lost a lot of money to his business partners because of the closure of many industries. On top of that, he bought a bidding document from Abel and placed an order to assassinate Luke.

He did not have much money on his hands now.

If there was no one to help him, he would have to use the company's cash. However, at this stage, he did not need to do so.

Pierre knew that Madam Mallory would not let him stoop so low.

"Don't worry. Go look for someone and tell me how much you need." Madam Mallory said exactly what Pierre thought she would.

Madam Mallory's response was within Pierre's expectations.

"I'll find a scapegoat." Pierre nodded. Although the latest development was beyond what he expected, it was not impossible to solve with Madam Mallory's help.

On the other hand.

Luke got a call from Old Master Crawford and learned of the Mallory family's so-called workaround, which he had expected.

After all, Pierre would not learn his lesson just from this incident.

"I see. Thank you for making the trip anyway." Luke thanked him. Although Old Master Crawford was his grandfather, he was no longer involved in the company's affairs, so he should thank him for his effort.

"No trouble. It's just that Pierre's face is annoying. Luke, stay away from him." Old Master Crawford knew that Luke was not close to Pierre to begin with, but he could not help himself from reminding him.

"I know," Luke said. Old Master Crawford ended the call.

He looked up at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Luca was playing with the children outside. They looked happy engaged in snowball fights.

Early this morning, the kids woke up and stood in unison at the door of Luca's bedroom to wait for her to get up.

When he saw that, Luke also stood at her bedroom entrance and waited for her.

Luca came out after washing up and was very surprised to see them.

School was closed because there was a blizzard. After breakfast, the children pestered Luca to play in the snow with them outside.

Luca saw how excited the children were, so she put on some layers and played with them in the courtyard.

Luca opted to skip work for the kids.

Luke stood in the house and watched as the kids laughed their hearts out. The company of a mother was important to them.

He wanted to seize the opportunity so that Luca could stay with the children at ease.

Aunt Neile went over to him and asked, "Sir, you and Dr. Craw will both have lunch at home today, right?"

"Mm," Luke said. He did not plan to go to the office as well.

"Okay, I'll make the necessary preparations." Aunt Neile nodded and returned to the kitchen.

Luca played with the children outdoors for half an hour before she returned indoors with the satisfied children.

Although it was icy and snowy outside, the children had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Luca looked at Tommy, who had snot hanging from his nose. She shook her head with a helpless smile, took out a tissue, and wiped it for him.

"Ms. Luca you're so gentle." Tommy enjoyed her doting on him.

Luca touched his head and looked at Lanie and Rainie. "Aren't you cold? Don't take off your jackets yet."

"I'm not cold," Rainie said with a smile.

Lanie said, "Yes, we're not cold because it's a lot of fun."

Luca was touched as she looked at the children's playful appearances.

"Ms. Luca, Great-grandpa bought us a lot of new toys recently. Will you play with us?" Tommy took Luca's hand and acted like a spoiled child, hoping that she could find time to spend with them.

After all, they lacked a mother's love.

Luca glanced at the time. Although Luke said that it was a holiday, she originally planned to play with the children for a while and then go back to the company to continue with her research.

After all, she had to hurry and launch the drug in the market to make up for the loss from Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Upon seeing her hesitation, Luke said, "Today is a holiday. Spend some time with the kids and accompany me to a place at night."

Luca noticed that Luke mentioned the word 'accompany'.

'Where does he want me to go with him?'

Despite her doubts, she nodded and said, "Okay."

"That's wonderful! Ms. Luca is on holiday today, so she can be with us all day!" Tommy clapped his hands happily, then held Luca's hand. "Ms. Luca, let's go upstairs."

Luca did as he said and followed him upstairs.

Aunt Neile came out with the cut fruit and milk. Seeing this scene, she could not help but laugh and say, "The kids like Ms. Craw very much."

Luke was standing on the side. He nodded thoughtfully, looked at the tray in her hand, and asked, "This is for them?"

"Yes, the young masters and young lady didn't eat much for breakfast today, so I was worried that they would be hungry. As such, I prepared some fruits and milk," Aunt Neile replied.

The children were so excited to play with Luca that morning, so they told her they were full after they had a few bites of breakfast.

They seemed to be worried that Luca would go to work, so they raced against time.

"I'll bring it to them." Luke took the tray from Aunt Neile and walked upstairs.

Aunt Neile watched Luke go upstairs and could not help but sigh in her heart about how they looked like a family of five.

Luke walked into Tommy's bedroom with the tray.

The four of them turned their heads in unison when they heard the footsteps.

"Daddy?" Rainie watched Luke walk in with a tray in his hand, stood up, and asked, "Daddy, don't you have to go to the office today?"

"Today is a day off. These are the fruits and milk that Aunt Neile prepared for you. Have some." Luke was worried that the children would be hungry.

However, they would keep quiet even if they were hungry since Luca was around.

He put the tray on the carpet.

He looked at the Monopoly game on the carpet, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "This is what your Great-grandpa bought for you?"

"Yes, Great-grandpa said that we can play this game with Daddy and Ms. Luca, so he specially bought it for us," Tommy said. He remembered Old Master Crawford mentioning that this game could help them bond.

Lanie, who was on the side, said, "Daddy, come join us."

Luke never had much interest in kids' games. When his peers were playing games, he was reading various extracurricular books, so he had never played these games.

"Daddy, come and play with us." Rainie invited him as well.

Luke sat down and cleared his throat. "How do you go about it?"

"Daddy, you haven't played this game before? Great-grandpa told us that this game has been around for a long time." Tommy looked at his father with some doubt in his eyes as he always thought of Luke as omnipotent.

"I've never played such childish games," Luke explained as he looked up at Luca.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2102-"Daddy, why don't you team up with me?" Rainie invited him.

Since Luke did not know how to play the game, Lanie and Tommy would likely take the opportunity to bully him.

Rainie wanted to help him to maintain a good image in front of their mommy.

"Okay." Luke agreed to his daughter's invitation and sat next to Rainie.

Tommy liked this kind of warm parent-child time. He touched the dice and said, "Daddy, Rainie, let's start the game."

Luca glanced at Luke. She did not expect him to skip work so that he could play such a boring game with the kids.

Sure enough, he was a good father.

He cared so much about the children. No matter what happened in the future, she felt at ease leaving them to him.

"Okay." Luca went along with the children's wishes.

Tommy threw the dice and started the game.

With Rainie's help, Luke played for one round and understood how to play the game.

An hour later, Tommy pouted and said, "I don't want to play anymore. Daddy is bullying me!"

"Is that so?" Luke calmly counted his property cards.

"You've stolen a lot of properties from me. Daddy, have you heard of respecting the old and loving the young? I'm a child. You should give me some leeway. Otherwise, others might say that you're bullying children." Tommy looked at the cards in his hands angrily.

"These aren't mine." Luke looked at his son's puffed-up face, burst into joy, and shoved the cards into Rainie's hands. "These are the cards that your sister won."

Rainie could not help but be amused when she saw her brother's reaction. “Tommy, let's play again. This time, I'll let you win."

"Really?" Tommy glanced at Luca.

She gave them all of her property cards but Luke won them back. Then somehow, the cards were returned to her.

In the end, Tommy discovered that he was the first to go bankrupt.

"Really. Let's reassign the cards." Rainie put away the cards in the hands of the other three and began to count.

"I don't want to play with Daddy this round. All Daddy does is bully kids," Tommy complained.

Luke raised his eyebrows and said innocently, "Is that so?"

Tommy accused him, "You did do so!"

"Okay, you can play." Luke teased his youngest son. He was in a great mood.

A new round of games began.

After one round, Tommy still lost.

Tommy looked at the only card left in his hand, pouted, and said, "Lanie and Rainie bullied me. Ms. Luca is the only one looking out for me."

Luca looked at the few cards left in her hand and smiled helplessly.

"We're playing a game. Of course, we must be fair," Lanie said. He looked at the cards he won and grinned happily.

Tommy refused to admit defeat. "No, let's go again. I'll win the next round."

Aunt Neile knocked on the bedroom door when they were about to start a new round of games. "Sir, Ms. Craw, young masters, young lady, it's time for lunch."

Luca glanced at the watch in her hand. Before she knew it, it was already lunchtime.

The children had to give in.

After all, they had to eat lunch obediently or they would be scolded.

Luke and Luca accompanied the children for lunch.

At the kids' request, Luca coaxed the three children to sleep. She could not help but reach out and touch the kids' foreheads.

They were all her babies...

Luca left the bedroom and saw Luke sitting in the living room on the second floor. She walked over and asked, "Mr. Crawford, where are you going tonight?"

"Norman Residence," Luke said.

'The Norman Residence?' Luca was worried. "Is Aunt Queenie feeling unwell?"

"No." Luke looked at Luca, who was so worried about Mr. and Mrs. Norman's health. He felt sad that she had to put in so much effort to hide her feelings for them!

"My father-in-law wants to treat you to a meal. At the same time, he also wants you to check my mother-in-law's pulse and see how she's doing recently," he explained. When he wanted to set up a dinner appointment, Jack mentioned for them to eat at home instead of heading to a hotel.

Moreover, he made it clear that he wanted to see Luca.

After all, she was his biological daughter. No matter how resolute Jack was, he cared deeply about his biological daughter.

"In that case, there's no problem." Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she found out there was nothing wrong with Queenie. She asked, "Are the children going?"

"No. They're going back to Crawford Manor to accompany Old Master Crawford for dinner tonight," Luke said. Although Queenie missed the kids very much, with the children there, it was hard for them to have certain conversations.

"Okay..." Luca wondered why Luke did not intend to bring the children.

After all, they were the grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Norman. It was not a problem to bring the kids with them.

However, she respected Luke's decision and did not say anything.

Evening.

Zander came over and took the kids to Crawford Manor. They had no problem with Luca and Luke going to Norman Residence and them going to Crawford Manor for dinner.

Luke told them that they were staying at Crawford Manor that night and he would take Luca back to Crawford Manor the day after.

The children readily agreed to these arrangements as long as it was not a prolonged separation.

After the kids left, Luke drove Luca to Norman Residence.

After they arrived at Norman Residence, only Queenie and the maid were there.

Queenie knew early in the morning that Luke would come over for dinner, but she was a little surprised to see him bring Luca.

"Luke, Luca, you're here." She concealed her consternation and stepped forward to greet her guests gently. However, she kept thinking about how in the past few months, Luke would always bring Luca with him whenever he came over.

'He no longer cares about Bianca... It seems he's bringing Luca over here to win my and Jack's heart so that when he and Luca announce their marriage, we'd accept it readily?'

"Mother-in-law, I brought Dr. Craw here to check on your pulse." Luke closed the car door and explained to Queenie.

He told Jack not to inform Queenie in advance that he would be bringing Luca with him.

When he saw Queenie's stunned expression, he knew that Jack did not mention anything to her.

"I'm in good health. We don't have to trouble Luca," Queenie said. Although Luca was very kind to her, she was selfish and could not help but side with Bianca.

Luca smiled awkwardly. She noticed Queenie's disapproving tone and did not take it to heart because she understood why she acted as such.

"Aunt Queenie, Mr. Crawford cares greatly about your health, so he brought me here," Luca explained. She felt a little helpless to be rejected by her biological mother.

"Is that so? It's cold outside. Come in quickly." Since she was there, Queenie did not think that it was right to get Luke to shoo her away. Hence, she could only greet them and get them inside.

She even asked Leia to stay in a hotel when she knew that Luke would come over for dinner so that Luke would not find out about her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2103-Luke and Luca walked beside Queenie, and they walked into the house together.

Luke glanced around and found that Jack was not there. "Mother-in-law, where's Jack?"

"He's still at the provincial office as he has a meeting today. He'll come back a little later. Ten minutes ago, he said he was ready to leave and mentioned that he would get a bottle of wine. He wants to drink with you tonight. Don't just stand here. Come sit and drink some tea to warm your body." Queenie said with a smile as she got them to sit down.

"Father-in-law has been busy. How is his health?" Luke asked, concerned. He was sitting across from Queenie.

"He's been busy. There seem to be a lot of meetings going on recently, and he often comes back late. It's considered early for him to come back at this time today," Queenie said as she made them tea.

Jack was occupied likely because there was a new project in the province, or he was attending to the inspection officers from the central government.

There was no news about the central government coming for inspections, so Luke assumed that Jack was working overtime on the development in the western suburbs.

After all, if the land were to be developed, Jack, as the leader, must have a lot of things to attend to. He had to meet, discuss, and negotiate with various departments.

"Come, have some tea." Queenie poured the tea into two cups and placed them in front of them.

Luca picked up the cup and took a sip of the hot tea.

The tea was warm and reminded her of the warmth of a mother.

"Aunt Queenie, let me take your pulse." Luca put down the cup after she felt the warmth on her hands.

"Okay." Queenie reached out her hand so that Luca could take her pulse.

Luca put her hand lightly on Queenie's pulse while she looked, smelled, inquired, and diagnosed.

Luke watched without saying anything.

After about a minute, Luca motioned to Queenie to bring over her other hand and continued to take her pulse.

After half a minute, she asked, "Aunt Queenie, you haven't been sleeping well lately?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Queenie nodded. Although she did not have insomnia like she used to, she was always dreaming.

Her dreams were absurd and bizarre. They mostly involved Bianca and Leia. She would wake up tired like she had not gotten any sleep at night.

Jack did not know about it either because she knew he was busy and did not want him to worry.

Although she did not mention anything about it, Jack could tell that something was wrong. He thought she seemed a little flustered whenever she woke up as though she did not get enough sleep. novelbin

"Your pulse is a little chaotic like you're often restless. I can prepare a prescription to condition your body," Luca said.

She knew that Queenie did not like her, so she did not dare to mess around. Luca was worried that Queenie might overthink.

"Okay, thank you." Queenie retracted her hand. Although Luca could tell what she was going through, Queenie was well aware.

She was not sick; she was overthinking.

It was mainly about Bianca and Leia.

She did not know where Bianca was, and Bianca had made it clear that she would not be returning to A City this year.

No matter what she said, Bianca still insisted on not returning to A City.

Queenie could not do anything about it.

As for Leia, her health was getting worse and worse because she did not take her medicine on time. Her liver function was seriously damaged, and the doctor said that there was no other way but to wait for a liver transplant.

She had been waiting in line for the liver donation, but it was far from her turn.

All she could do was take medicine and go to the hospital for regular injections to sustain her life.

Therefore, Leia was dissatisfied and would make noise every day, blaming Queenie for not giving her money to buy a suitable liver from the black market.

Luca noticed the reluctance on Queenie's face and could not help but remind her, "Aunt Queenie, rest is important. You must pay more attention to it."

"Okay, I know. It happens occasionally, mainly because Bea has been refusing to come back. As her mother, I'm worried about her, so I overthink at night and dream about her." Queenie deliberately mentioned Bianca in front of Luca in hopes that she would understand that Luke had a wife and she should not destroy their marriage.

Luca looked at Luke subconsciously when Queenie mentioned Bianca.

Luke was looking at her as well.

Luca lowered her gaze and said, "By the way, Aunt Queenie, have you checked your blood pressure recently?"

"Yes, I measure it every day. My low blood pressure symptoms are much better. Recently, my blood pressure has also risen a bit. However, Jack's blood pressure fluctuates up and down. Sometimes when he gets busy, he'll forget to take his medicine. Luca, do you have any herbs to help with high blood pressure?" Queenie asked. She was worried about Jack's health even though she was occupied with Bianca and Leia.

It seemed that their home had not had peace since Bianca got kidnapped.

"Western medicine is better, but you can usually adjust your diet to help control blood pressure. I can write down a few recipes, and you can prepare the food for Uncle Jack twice a week. It'll help control his blood pressure," Luca said. She felt distressed.

If Queenie had not mentioned anything, she would not know that Jack had high blood pressure.

However, they were all getting old. Generally, at their age, people who did not pay much attention to their health would get high blood pressure, Hyperlipidemia, or high blood sugar.

Jack was busy with work and lacked exercise, so it was normal that he had high blood pressure.

Her parents were getting old, but she could not stay by their side as their daughter to take care of them and fulfill her filial piety to them...

Luca was very upset.

Queenie got energized and told the maid, "Really? Thank you so much. Go and get the pen and paper."

"However, fundamentally, it's best to have a healthy routine, diet, and exercise," Luca said. Medicine and diet were both helpful, but the best option was to change one's bad habits.

"He used to exercise often. Since my health has improved, he became very busy after he decided to go back to work. Sometimes, he has to stay up late. He also likes to drink a little, so his health is not as good as before." Queenie sighed.

When she was not feeling well, Jack paid great attention to his health and exercised regularly, saying that he would not let himself be in trouble because he would not be able to take care of her if something happened to him.

"In that case..." Luca took the pen and paper handed over by the maid and began to write some prescriptions to condition Queenie's body as well as recipes for Jack's diet.

Before she was done with the recipes, Jack walked in and saw Luke and Luca. He said with a bright smile on his face, "Luke, Luca, you're here!"

Queenie heard him and knew that Jack knew Luca would be coming.

He knew that she did not like Luca, so he did not mention it on purpose.

Queenie sighed to herself. If Luca and Luke had nothing going on, Luca was indeed a good person.

However, she felt that Luca was getting too close to Luke, so even if Luca had saved her, she could not bring herself to like Luca anymore.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2104-"Father-in-law." Luke nodded at him.

Luca also greeted Jack, "Hello, Uncle Jack. Long time no see."

"It's been a long time, Luca. If you're free, come visit me and your Aunt Queenie more often," Jack said. He knew there was a reason why Luca did not visit often.

Luke had told him about what happened to her in Russia.

As such, Jack knew that Luca was in danger all the time and could not acknowledge him and Queenie as her biological parents for some reason.

"Okay." Luca finished writing and handed the paper to the maid. "There you go."

"What's that?" When he saw that, Jack put down his briefcase and sat down near Luca.

"It's a few recipes for your diet and a prescription for Aunt Queenie to condition her body," Luca replied.

"Condition her body? What's wrong?" Jack became nervous. He and Luke asked Luca to come over to check on Queenie's pulse as an excuse. He did not expect that something would be wrong with Queenie's body.

"It's nothing. I've been having a lot of dreams when I'm sleeping, so Luca checked my pulse and gave me a prescription," Queenie said to reassure Jack.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jack was still worried, so he looked at Luca and asked her.

"It's nothing. She just needs to condition her body and let go of her thoughts. Then she'll naturally be able to sleep well." Luca nodded and smiled slightly. She was envious of her parents' relationship.

Her relationship with Luke had always been good. However, too many twists and turns had left them where they were now.

It was as though they were not meant to have a peaceful life.

Jack breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad to hear that."

Queenie's smile got bigger and bigger when she saw her husband's nervous reaction. "I told you that I'm fine. My body is in tip-top shape."

"If all is well, you wouldn't have to take herbs to condition your body. You still have to pay attention to your health." Jack disagreed with Queenie's statement.

Luca looked at her parents with envy.

Seeing this, Luke cleared his throat and said, "Father-in-law, can we step aside to talk?"

"You want to ask about the development in the western suburbs?" Jack knew what he wanted to talk about. He asked him to come over for dinner so that he could tell him more about what he wanted to know.

Nevertheless, even if the answer was given to him, it was up to Luke whether he could win the project.

Therefore, Jack was comfortable sharing the information. After all, he knew that Luke would not screw him over even if he knew the information.

“Mm." Luke nodded.

"Let's talk in my study," Jack said. After all, the maid was still in the living room and their conversation should not be heard by outsiders.

"Okay." Luke stood up.

Jack stood up as well, handed the maid the bottle in his hand, and said, "Let the bottle breathe. We'll drink it when we have dinner later."

"Got it, Mr. Norman." The maid took the wine and walked into the kitchen.

Luke followed Jack upstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, Luca and Queenie were the only ones left.

Luca knew that Queenie did not like her, but she could not help but make small talk. "Aunt Queenie, how's Leia doing?"

"She..." Queenie's eyes were filled with sadness when Leia was mentioned. "She's against taking medicine because she thinks that the hormones in the medicine will affect her figure. Her situation is getting worse. The doctors said that there's no way to reverse it, so they can only wait for a liver transplant. However, the country's liver sources are limited. There are still several people ahead of Leia in A City, and some have even been waiting for a year. "

Luca frowned. Leia's liver function damage was not severe enough to require an immediate transplant. Her condition would be stable if she followed through with the medicine.

She did expect Leia's condition to be so terrible in just a few months.

She had no one but herself to blame. She would not have ended up like this if she followed the doctor's orders and took her medicine on time.

"Luca, is there anything you can do about Leia's situation?" Queenie asked. She did not dare to say these in front of Luke.

"There's no other way if the doctors in the hospital all say that she has to wait for a transplant. Some damage can't be reversed, especially with the organ..." Luca said, "Some can only slow down the

impact of the damage, but Ms. Norman is hurting herself by not taking her medication on time."

"I knew there's no other way... I'm worried if Leia can even wait until then?" Queenie had heard too many similar cases.

In the end, the patients could not wait for the liver for transplantation and could only pass away with regret.

Luca said nothing.

At this stage, all Leia could do was take medicine and injections while waiting for the transplant.

However, Leia was a fan of drama. Luca was worried that she would continue to hurt herself and then force Jack to pay for a liver on the black market.

"Aunt, you should spend more time with her. Don't let her overthink and mess around..." Luca said.

Jack was not an ordinary person. He may be heavily affected by certain things at any time. If Leia messed up, Jack may be punished ten times more strictly than ordinary people.

He did not raise his kids to get them to take revenge on him.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman had done enough for Leia over the years.

If it was not because she was no longer by their side, Queenie would not be paying all her attention to Leia.

"I know what you mean. In fact, it's also possible for relatives to donate organs. After all, it's a liver. It has two large lobes. It's just..." Queenie did not continue to speak. Everyone in A City knew that Leia was adopted.novelbin

Their blood type was not compatible with her at all.

Therefore, none of them could donate their liver to her.

When Leia was in the orphanage, there were very few records of her. They could not find anyone related to Leia.

When Leia was still an A-list star, Queenie remembered a beggar who said that he was Leia's father. However, at that time, they did not let the beggar continue to make a scene to protect Leia.

The beggar was long gone now.

It seemed that Leia had no relatives who could help her.

"It's all about luck." Luca suddenly thought of Kevin Rayne. Back then, he also had liver disease and was waiting for a transplant. She could not do anything about it then.

That was because their blood types were different.

At that time, she thought that her blood type was from the mother she had never met, but she understood why when she found out that her biological parents were Jack and Queenie.

However, Kevin Rayne was luckier than Leia.

At least she managed to save enough money and Kevin got a liver transplant.

"The drugs' effects are great. As long as Ms. Norman continues with her treatment, she has time," Luca could only comfort her.

"Hopefully... Leia will go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If the check-up gives us bad news, the doctor will force her to be hospitalized and wait for the liver." Queenie could not help but share about Leia with Luca.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2105-Queenie did not know what was going on. She just felt that Luca's words brought her comfort and melted all her anxiety.

"Bea isn't by my side anymore. I just hope Leia can get better soon." She could not help but sigh. Queenie got a headache thinking that Leia might be hospitalized.

What Leia hated most was the hospital. She would not stay even if she was in a luxurious single ward.

There were a lot of people in the hospital, and Leia was a famous star. She was worried that if someone saw Leia in the hospital and told Luke...

Luca listened to Queenie's sigh and felt even guiltier.

‘I'm sorry, Mom„.'

All she could do was apologize to Queenie in her heart...

Upstairs, in Jack's study.

Luke followed him in and closed the door.

"The government does intend to develop the abandoned amusement park in the western suburbs, but there are no specifics for now," Jack said.

"After so many years of the rumor going around, the government is finally taking action." Luke could not help but sigh. The redevelopment of the abandoned playground in the western suburbs had been rumored in A City for several years.

The rumors went on for some time, but there was never any corresponding announcements.

"I've been working overtime during this period to hold meetings on this. I can't tell you the specifics, and I can only say so much. One more thing. We intend to stimulate the economy of A City through this project, so there's a high probability that an A City company will be chosen to take on this project.” Jack said.

"I see. Thank you, Father-in-law." Luke knew what to do when he got this positive news.

He had been wanting to expand the influence of T Corporation in A City and create a positive image with the local government as it would be of great help in winning the project.

After Luke got an answer, he did not plan to give up.

After all, with so many employees at T Corporation, it was impossible to achieve their target with just the M Group project.

"Don't thank me. There's one thing I want to ask you." Jack sat on the executive chair and pointed to the seat opposite. "Have a seat. Let's talk."

Luke sat across from him.

"The thing I want to ask is, when will you and Luca get through all this and reunite?" Jack asked.

Luke smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "You're not the first one to ask...."

"Why? Others are urging you to do the same?" Jack raised his eyebrows.

"Grandpa is urging me too," Luke replied.

Jack was a little surprised and exclaimed, "Does the old man know Luca's identity?"

"He doesn't know. He hasn't had peace since the fake Bianca appeared, so the goodwill accumulated by Bea in the past was all lost on the fake Bianca. Luca found that there was something wrong with the

herbs, so the old man is very fond of her. He knows that I'm interested in her and has been urging me..." Luke explained.

The fake Bianca was like his mother, Allison. They both caused trouble and started wars in Crawford Manor.

"Old Master Crawford is quite open-minded. You're not divorced on paper but he encouraged you to be with another woman." Jack could not help but tease. It was fortunate that this other woman was Bianca. Otherwise, he would have been fuming.

"He noticed my attitude and how the children like Luca, so he encouraged me," Luke said helplessly. Old Master Crawford was not open-minded. He just wanted Luke to be happy.

After all, compared to Louis, his past was even more bitter.

He grew up in an orphanage and served as a tool to compete for a favor, so Old Master Crawford wanted to give him more love.

"I think so too. Old Master Crawford doesn't seem like the kind of person who can accept a new daughter-in-law just like that. That also shows that Bea is excellent." Jack could not help but praise Luca.

Although she was controlled by the bad guys, she was constantly doing things to help Luke and Queenie.

Jack knew everything and felt sorry for his daughter.

However, even if he was in a position of power, he could not do anything to the organization that controlled her. He could only rely on Luke to protect her.

Jack could not help but sigh at how useless he felt.

When Luca was born, he was not by Queenie's or her side. He did not get to protect or love Luca. He trusted others when they told her that Luca died during birth.

As a result, she lived through so many years of misery.

When everyone disapproved of her being with Luke, he selfishly separated them both for Leia.

He knew how ridiculous he was as their father.

He wanted to make things up with Luca but, Luke could do more for her than he could.

Jack felt even guiltier toward Luca.

"She's great," Luke said. His heart had always been with her.

"It's almost time. Let's go downstairs for dinner. I bought wine for today. Let's have a few drinks together. Maybe if I get drunk, there might be unexpected good things that happen." Jack glanced at the time and stood up.

He enjoyed having a few drinks, but if no one drank with him, he would not drink.

It was rare for Luke to visit, so he did not want to miss this opportunity.

"Okay." Luke agreed. He knew that he would not be able to drive after drinking. Luca had been driving for a while and was re-acquainted. He was comfortable letting her drive them back.

Queenie watched Luke and Jack come downstairs. She stood up and said, "Are you done?"

"Yeah" Jack's serious face flashed a smile.

"Just in time. The maid is ready with dinner. Let's eat," Queenie said. She did not want to go upstairs to disturb them just now.

After all, Jack had asked to talk about things in the study, so what they were talking about must be private.

"Okay. The wine has had time to breathe. We can have a few drinks." Jack smiled and walked to the dining room.

"Dear, drink less." Queenie shook her head helplessly.

"No one usually drinks with me. I don't usually drink, but this time, Luke is here. I must drink with him tonight to satiate my wish," Jack said to Queenie.

Luca listened to her parents' conversation with a smile on her face.

Jack said, "Luca, would you like a drink too?"

"No, Uncle Jack. Mr. Crawford is drinking, so I'll have to drive later." Luca said.

"You don't have to drive. We can get you a cab. If we can't get one, I'll have my driver work overtime. There are many rooms here too. You can stay here to rest as well." Jack said.

"Okay, Luca can relax with me. She's a woman. How could she ever outdrink you?" Queenie could not stand it any longer and shook her head.

"I'm in a wonderful mood today!" Jack spoke to Queenie in a childlike manner.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2106-Queenie sat at the dinner table and looked at Jack suspiciously. "Why are you so happy? Did something good happen?"

"I’m just happy to see my son-in-law," Jack mentioned Luke deliberately.

Queenie smiled helplessly as she shook her head.

"What? Aren't you happy?" Jack asked.

"I'm happy, but the kids aren’t here. I miss them," Queenie said. She had not mentioned the children, but she missed them a lot.

"Sorry, Mother-in-law." Luke apologized when he heard what she said. "I didn't bring the kids here because I needed to talk to Jack. I'll bring them over when they’re on holiday."

Queenie nodded with a smile and replied, "Okay."

"Where are the kids now?" Jack asked, concerned.

"They're at Crawford Manor," Luke replied. He saw the maid walk over with a bottle of wine, it was high in alcohol content.

"It's nice that Old Master Crawford is watching them," Jack nodded.

Queenie sighed and said, "How is it nice? Old Master Crawford needs to rest, and the children would be making a lot of noise. Luke, next time when you don't have time to watch the kids, send them over. I can take care of them. I miss my grandchildren."

"Okay." Luke did not take her words to heart.

He knew that Queenie was occupied.

She spent most of her thoughts and time worried about Leia.

Although Luke did not know much about Leia's situation, he knew that her condition had worsened.

She had no choice but to wait for a liver transplant.

At the same time, he had yet to take action on this matter.

Leia was still making a fool of herself, and Johann said that she still had time. Hence, it was not yet time for him to make a move.

Luke intended to help her when Leia stopped acting out or when other situations arose.

"Since the kids aren’t around, I don't need to be a role model. Luke, let’s have a drink," Jack picked up the bottle of wine.

Luke stood up quickly and said, "Father-in-law, let me do it."

"Okay." Jack handed him the wine and asked him to pour himself a glass.

Luke poured Jack a glass of wine and another for himself.

Queenie shook her head helplessly but did not stop them when she thought of how Jack did not drink much even if he liked to.

"Luca, let's eat," she said.

"Okay, Aunt." Luca picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Jack and Luke drank a lot throughout the meal.novelbin

Luca looked at the two flushed faces, shook her head helplessly, and asked softly, "Mr. Crawford, do you need the hangover prevention medicine?"

She did not expect that Jack would drink that much with Luke. He opened another bottle when they were done with the first.

"No, it's okay," Luke said. He did not need to be sober in front of Jack and Queenie. He also did not intend to be sober when he was alone with Luca.

Luca hesitated to speak.

Jack said, "Luca, it's okay. Luke can drink."

Queenie looked at her husband's flushed face. It looked like he had been drinking too much. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Yes, you can drink. You already drank two bottles. Drinking so much is not good for your health!"

"It's fine, I don't drink often," Jack said cheerfully.

Queenie did not know what to do with him, so she said, "Luke, you and your father-in-law can go to the living room and have a seat. I'll make you some hangover tea."

"Mother-in-law, it's okay. It's getting late, so I'll head off now. You can prepare the hangover tea for Father-in-law," Luke said. The more he drank, the more he spoke.

"How can this be?" Queenie frowned as he drank quite a lot.

"It's not me who's going to be driving, so it's all good." Luke looked at Luca and stood up. He was steady and did not appear as though he had been drinking.

Seeing this, Queenie had no choice but to say, "Okay then. Get back safe."

"Okay, Father-in-law. Goodbye," Luke said.

Luca followed suit. "Uncle Jack, Aunt Queenie, goodbye."

Jack stood up cheerfully and waved at them. "Goodbye. Do come by more often. We enjoy your company."

Luca heard Jack and felt an overwhelming sadness.

Parents always missed their children.

She wanted her children to be by her side but she could not do that for her own parents.

Queenie shook her head. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

It made sense for Luke to visit them. He was their son-in-law, after all. However, Luca...

She was not their daughter, so there was no reason for her to visit often.

"Sit here and don't move. I'll send them off," Queenie told Jack and walked out with them.

Luke walked fairly steadily. When he walked to the side of the car, he subconsciously wanted to open the driver's door.

Luca said quickly, "Mr. Crawford, you've been drinking. Let me drive."

"Oh, yes." Luke went around the front of the car and walked over to the passenger seat.

Queenie watched from the side, shook her head, and said, "You said you weren't drunk..."

Luca listened to Queenie's words and was full of helplessness. She said, "Aunt Queenie, I'll send Mr. Crawford back first."

"Okay, okay." Queenie paused before she said, "Luca, after you send him back, make sure he's in the living room before you leave. I'm afraid that he'll be so drunk he'd sleep outside."

Luca felt a little guilty. Queenie did not know that they stayed together...

"I know." She agreed, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

Luca glanced at the front passenger seat and found that Luke had buckled his seatbelt. He was leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.

His brows were still slightly furrowed. He seemed to be uncomfortable because of the alcohol.

Luca sighed, buckled up, and left Norman Residence.

As soon as she drove off, she heard Luke say, "Don't sigh, I'm fine."

"Mr. Crawford, don't you need to take the hangover prevention medicine?" Luca asked. Although it may not be as effective as taking it before drinking, it would still be somewhat effective.

At least he would not be as uncomfortable.

"No, I don't want to take the medicine. I want to..." Luke stopped talking halfway.

"What do you want?" Luca asked.

"I want a good night's sleep," Luke said.

Luca's heart sank.

‘He means that he wants to take advantage of being drunk and get a good night's sleep? Could it be that his sleep quality has not been the best?'

Luca did not dare to delve into it, so she could only focus on looking ahead and driving carefully.

She could drive Luke's car, but she was not familiar with it. It snowed, so she drove slowl.

The original half-hour drive took her more than an hour to arrive at the villa.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2107-After the car was parked, Luke opened his eyes slightly and muttered, "Are we there yet?"

"We're here, Mr. Crawford. Can you get out of the car by yourself?" Luca asked. He had been drinking, so she was not sure if he would be able to walk on his own.

"If I can't, will you let me sleep in the car for the night?" Luke sat there and did not move. He was halfsquinting looking at Luca's side profile.

"No." Luca unbuckled his seat belt. "I'll help you get in."

"No need." Luke sat up straight, unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and got out of the car.

Luca frowned slightly. She was worried that he would fall, so she followed closely behind him as he walked into the living room.

Aunt Neile was off work, so the villa did not have a single light on.

When Luke was about to walk forward, Luca stepped over the threshold and whispered, "Mr. Crawford, I'll turn on the lights first."

Luke stopped and propped himself against the wall.

Luca stood at the entrance and found the switch. After she turned on the switch, the room lit up.

"Mr. Crawford, come in." She looked at the man leaning against the wall.

The alcohol he and Jack drank had a high alcohol content. It was normal that he felt uncomfortable after drinking.

Luke squinted slightly and stepped over the entrance. His body swayed uncontrollably as if he would fall at any point.

Luca immediately stepped forward to help him. "Mr. Crawford, be careful."

"I'm a little dizzy..." Luke closed his eyes. The alcohol hit him hard, and he did not feel well.

Luca gritted his teeth, put her hand around his waist, and said, "I'll help you get in."

Luke lowered his eyes and walked forward with her.

"Mr. Crawford, would you like to sleep on the sofa tonight?" Luca said. He leaned on her with most of his body. Although she was strong enough to support her, it was too dangerous for him to go up the stairs like that.

"It's hard to fall asleep on the sofa." A look of shrewdness flashed in Luke's eyes. He could not agree to stay on the sofa with such a good opportunity.

He did not intend to miss any chance for him to get him close to Luca, even for a while.

Luca thought that he was tall, and it was indeed not suitable for him to sleep on the sofa.

The maid's room, which was temporarily used as Luke's bedroom, has been tidied up by Aunt Neile. It had become her temporary bedroom.

As such, if he did not want to sleep on the sofa, he could only go upstairs.

Luca looked at the long stairs and gritted her teeth. "Mr. Crawford, I'll help you back to your bedroom."

"I can walk by myself." Luke half-squinted and said, "I'm just a little dizzy. I'm not drunk yet."

"I'll help you." Luca insisted and stepped up the stairs.

Luke put one hand on Luca's shoulder and the other on the armrest. He lowered his gaze and saw Luca's face.

Her face was flushed like she was the one who had been drinking.

Luke felt a little guilty. Maybe he should not be teasing her like this.

He let go and planned to go upstairs by himself. After all, a person weighing more than 100 pounds was indeed too heavy for the petite Luca to carry up the stairs.

She could feel that he had let go, so she immediately said, "Mr. Crawford, don't let go."

Luke had to put his hand on her shoulder again.

Luca felt the weight on her body lighten. She did not make a sound and carefully supported Luke's waist. They walked up to the second floor slowly.

As soon as the bedroom door was opened, Luke let go and stumbled forward.

Before Luca could react, he was lying on the bed.

He was not lying straight, but there was no bruise or injury.

Luca noticed that Luke was wearing a heavy coat. It would be uncomfortable for him to sleep like this all night. She stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Crawford, let me take off your clothes for you so that you can sleep more comfortably. "

Luke opened his eyes. The lights in the bedroom were a little harsh, so he turned his head sideways. There was faint drunkenness in his eyes as he uttered, "Everything?"

"..." Luca could tell that he was teasing her.

She did not reply, so Luke rolled over and pretended to be uncomfortable.

Luca stepped forward and bent down. "I'll help you take off your coat."

Luke heard the sounds of his buttons unbuttoning and the zipper being pulled. Luca was helping him undress...

"Mr. Crawford, turn over." Luca looked at the jacket. She needed his help.

Luke sat up, pretended to be confused, and said, "Is this alright?"

Luca was not sure if he was drunk or if he was pretending...

"Okay." She took off Luke's thick coat.

Luca was about to put away the jacket she took off when he grabbed his hand all of a sudden.

"Luca, stay with me..." His voice was low. When she listened carefully, it was as if he was begging a little.

"Stay with me..." Luke repeated himself.

"Mr. Crawford, lie down." Luca's heart softened. The drunk Luke did not make a fuss and instead begged for her company like a child.

"Stay with me." Luke bargained with her like a child.

"Okay." Luca had no choice but to agree.

Luke still held onto her hand tightly. When he was about to lie down, she lifted the blanket and said, "Lie down straight."

"Okay." Luke lay on the bed with his head firmly on the pillow. His head was turned sideways, and his eyes were locked on her.

"Let go. I need to put your clothes away," Luca looked at his hand and reminded him helplessly.

"No, I won't let go. If I let go, you'll leave me." Luke did not let go. He was no longer cold and rude, "Luca, don't leave me."

Luca's heart trembled. She had no choice but to put his clothes on the end of the bed. She then pulled the blanket over him and said, "I won't leave. Go to bed."

Luke closed his eyes obediently but still held onto her hands tightly.

Luca felt the heat in her palms. She had no choice but to sit on the floor. She leaned against the bed and looked at him.

Luke did not open his eyes but knew what she was doing.

He was holding her hand. If she wanted to be more comfortable, that was all she could do.

Luke wanted her to sleep on the other side with him, but in this situation, she would never say yes. As such, he could only flirt with her when he was drunk.

He believed that if he kept holding on, she would not leave.

Whether it was tonight or in the future.

"Luca." Luke's voice was low. His throat felt harsh due to the alcohol, and he spoke with a hint of drunkenness.

"I'm here..." Luca could not help but lower her voice.

"I've been abandoned by a lot of people..." Luke spoke of his past.

Luca's heart ached. She knew about his past.

Although her past was difficult, it was nothing compared to Luke's. novelbin

"You're drunk. Go to sleep." Luca tucked him into the blanket.

"I've been drinking too much but I'm not drunk." Luke knew what her soft spot was, so he did not mind talking about the past.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2108-Luca secretly let out a sigh.

Luke was obviously drunk. How could a tough person like him bring up his embarrassing past if he was not drunk?

When she was still Bianca back then, she had never seen the other side of him when he showed his weaknesses.

"I always wondered what kind of person I would be today if Louis were born earlier," Luke said in a low voice.

Previously, Susan was unable to get pregnant, and that was when Allison brought Luke back from the orphanage. She brought him to meet Old Master Crawford to acknowledge him as his grandfather.

Luke would never have returned to the Crawford family if Louis had already been born.

Luke would have grown up in the orphanage without knowing who his parents were and why he was abandoned and left at the orphanage.

Perhaps he would have been adopted by someone else and grown up in an unfamiliar family. He would not have known anything about his family.

"You would've become a successful man even if you weren't in the Crawford family." Luca placed her hand on his chest.

Perhaps the successful people in this world had the privilege of being given a head start in their life, which led them to become successful.

However, she knew Luke was not one of them.

Even if he started from scratch, he would be able to build his career with his talents and efforts. He would be able to do great things all the same.

Although it would be difficult, he would never be afraid of the difficulties he faced. He would be able to endure all the pain and weariness.

These things were not given to him by the Crawford family.

“How do you know?” The corners of Luke's lips were slightly curled.

“It's because you're that kind of person. You're someone people will still look up to even if you lose all your aura,” Luca said in a soft and tender voice.

Luca had always looked up to Luke. It was not because he was one of the Crawford family members. It was the talents he had and how gifted he was. He was in a position where she would never be able to reach.

Luca still remembered the days when she had just set up her company—Brilliant. There were times when she dealt with picky customers and they were dissatisfied with her designs no matter how many times she had amended them. However, once Luke helped with the designs, his work would always satisfy the customers.

No one could come up with a design that could fully satisfy the customer, but Luke could.

This was not something he could do by relying on the Crawford family.

“What about you?" Luke asked.

“Huh?" Luca looked at him. She noticed that the redness on his cheeks had seemed to fade a little.

Perhaps the alcohol's effects had slightly worn off.

“Will you look up to me?" Luke asked.

“Yes." Luca gave him an affirmative answer, and she added in her heart, 'Always. I'll always look up to you.'

"I don't want you to look up to me. I wish you could..." said Luke. He rolled over and slept on his side while facing Luca, still holding her hand tight.

“It's late. Get some rest." Luca looked at his face. He was as handsome as usual even though he was lying on the bed. It made Luca have the urge to plant a kiss on his face when she looked at him.

Luca looked down and suppressed the urge to do so.

Luke no longer said a word, and his breaths gradually stabilized.

Luca tried to pull her hands back, but Luke was holding them so tightly that he seemed to be able to notice it when she moved even a little. He placed her hand on his chest.

It was like a competition. Luke would move whenever Luca moved, and it seemed like he would wake up anytime.

Luca had no choice but to give up pulling back her hand and let him hold it. She planned to wait until he was deeply asleep, then she would leave.

She stared at his face. His breath reeked of alcohol, lingering in the air and her nostrils with a trace of sweetness. It was not an unpleasant smell. It got her feeling a little tipsy after breathing it in.

Luca softly let out a yawn.

It seemed like she would be able to fall asleep easily when Luke was beside her. The effects of being beside him were much better than when taking sleeping pills.

She could feel her heavy eyelids. All she wanted was to close her eyes and sleep.

However, Luke was holding her hand. Luca pondered for a moment and decided to rest her head and arms on the bedside for a while.

She would only return to her bedroom to rest after Luke was deeply asleep.

Luca leaned against the bed and rested her head and arms on the bed. Then, she closed her eyes.

She felt uncomfortable sleeping in this position, but with Luke beside her, she fell asleep right away as she did on the plane and high-speed rail.

Luke opened his eyes and looked at Luca's sleeping face.

Luca was unable to pull her hand back, and she could not stand to leave him. She chose to stay here and accompany him to sleep.

A wave of warmth filled his heart.

Luca...

Luke listened to Luca's breaths and stared at her for almost half an hour. The tipsy look in his eyes was gone at this moment. What was left was all his affection for her.

Luke found himself feeling calm during times like this. He did not have to worry that Luca would leave him. His heart was overflowing with peace and serenity.

Luke slightly let go of her hand.

Luca did not wake up. She was still sleeping in that position, resting her head and arms on the bedside.

Luke smiled. Her eyes were full of adoration.

He got out of bed. Then, he gently picked up Luca and carried her in his arms.

"Mmm." Luca let out a bleary grunt the moment Luke carried her. It was as though she could feel that her sleeping position was changing, but she did not wake up.

Luke carefully placed Luca on the bed. Then, he grabbed the blanket and tucked her in.

Luke looked at the woman who was deeply asleep on the bed. He could not help but lay down on the bed too.

Luke only thought of cuddling with Luca and getting a night of good sleep.

He climbed into bed from the other side as he pondered. Luca could feel the warmth of his body the moment he covered himself with the blanket. She took the initiative to lean closer to Luke while putting one of her arms on his waist.

Luke's smile widened.

As he watched Luca bury her head in his chest, Luke placed his hands on her waist and cuddled her while they slept.

Time passed faster when one was sleeping.

However, Luke had a good sleep. He looked at the woman in his arms when he opened his eyes. It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep.

He needed her in his life.

That was why he would not let Luca leave him this time, no matter what.

Luke hugged her tight. How he wished he could wrap her in his arms and never let go of her.

Luca could feel the strength exerted around her body. Her eyes flickered, and her lashes fluttered a little as though she was about to wake up.

Luke quickly closed his eyes. He did it so carefully like a young boy.

If Luca found out that Luke had woken up before she did, she would definitely be startled. She would not know how to face Luke. She would even think of avoiding him.

Hence, Luke had no choice but to pretend like he was still asleep.

Luca slowly opened her eyes and looked at the muscular chest in front of her. She was dumbfounded for a moment.

The man sleeping beside her was Luke.

Even though she did not lift her head to make sure if it was him, she was sure that it was Luke just by breathing the familiar smell in the air.

Luca recalled what had happened last night. She was only resting her head on the bedside for a while. How did she end up sleeping on the bed?

Did she climb into the bed herself? Was it Luke who carried her to the bed?

Luca could feel the warmth on Luke's chest. Her face was burning red. She tried hard to remember what had happened last night, but she did not know how she got onto the bed last night.

Besides, one of her hands was on Luke's waist...

Luca pulled her hand back immediately when she felt the warmth of his skin.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2109-Luca's body was burning as though she was having a fever.

However, she knew it was not a fever. The truth was, she was feeling shy...

Although he was the man she used to see every day, and they were so close that nothing could get in between them, it had been three years since she was this close to him.

Even though Luca missed him, she was having a hard time adapting to the intimacy between them now.

What Luca was most worried about was if Luke found out her identity and her purpose, how would she face him? How was she going to explain it.

Luca carefully lifted her head and looked at Luke.

Luke was still asleep. It was probably because he was drunk last night. That was why he woke up later than usual today.

Luca carefully moved his hand away from her waist. She let out a sigh of relief when she finally climbed out of the bed.

Fortunately, Luke did not cling to her arm as tightly as last night. Otherwise, she would have woken the man up if he was clenching her arm tightly.

Luca trotted out of Luke's bedroom and returned to her bedroom. She quickly freshened herself up.

Then, she walked out of her bedroom.

Luke's bedroom door was still closed.

Luca did not stay. She made her way downstairs.

Aunt Neile was already in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast. She happily greeted Luca when she saw her coming in, “Good morning, Ms. Craw."

“Good morning." Luca opened the fridge and looked at the ingredients stored inside. She was planning to make a hangover cure for Luke.

Aunt Neile noticed Luca was staring blankly at the ingredients in the fridge, so she asked with enthusiasm, "What ingredients are you looking for? Or would you like to eat something else? You can tell me. Let me prepare it for you."

Luca took the honey and tomatoes out while replying, "Mr. Crawford drank a lot last night. I'd like to prepare a hangover cure for him." "Oh, how considerate of you," said Aunt Neile with a smile on her face as she finally understood why Mr. Crawford did not wake up early today. He had drunk last night.

As Aunt Neile watched Luca clean the tomatoes and place them in the juicer, she could not help but wonder...

Luke got up late because he was drunk last night, but what about Luca?

She woke up late too.

That was weird.

Although Aunt Neile was confused, she did not tell anyone about it. She began plating the breakfast she had finished preparing.

"Is breakfast done?" Luke's voice came from the kitchen entrance.

Luca could not help but look back.

Not only had Luke gotten up from bed, but it also seemed that he had washed himself up. The clothes he was wearing were not the ones he wore last night.

Aunt Neile smiled and answered, “Mr. Crawford, breakfast's ready. Oh, by the way, Ms. Craw is preparing a hangover cure for you. Would you like to drink it first before you have your breakfast?”

"Sure." Luke's gaze fell on Luca, who was wearing an apron and preparing the hangover cure for him. He secretly let out a sigh. How he wished that days like this could last forever.

However, all he wanted for Luca was to restore her identity. That way, he could stop suppressing the urges inside him.

An ordinary man would suffocate if he held himself back any longer.

“Then let me serve your breakfast first.” Aunt Neile shot a glance at Luca. She was pouring some honey into the tomato juice. Other than being able to improve the taste of the juice, it could cure a hangover too.

Luca poured the tomato juice into a glass and brought it to the dining room.

Luke was sitting at the dining table with the newspaper beside him. He picked up the newspaper and glanced at it. Noticing that Luca was walking out with the glass of juice, he put down the newspaper and rose to his feet.

Luca looked at him in surprise when he took the glass from her and said, “Thank you."

Previously, Luke would sit at the dining table and wait for the maid to serve all the dishes. Then, he would start eating.

It was rare to see him express his gratitude.

Luca watched Luke sit down while holding the glass. When he was about to drink it, she said, "It might not taste good. There are not many ingredients left in the fridge."

Luke paused for a moment and said, “It's alright."

He would drink anything Luca made for him even if it was a poisoned drink.

Besides, he was assured that Luca would not harm him.

Luke lifted his head and gulped it down at once.

Luca kept silent when she saw him finish the hangover cure. She sat down in another seat and began eating breakfast.

Aunt Neile picked up the glass and strolled to the kitchen. It was quiet in the dining room.

After breakfast, Luke looked at Luca and deliberately asked, "Did I cause you any trouble after getting drunk last night?"

Luca shook her head without any changes on her face. “No. You were fine, Mr. Crawford. You fell asleep after you got drunk, and you didn't cause any trouble.”

Luke looked at how calm Luca was. She only said this to humor him.

This morning when Luca woke up and realized that she was sleeping on the same bed with him, she made no noise and quietly left the room. That was when Luke knew that she was still reluctant to face him.

He would not force her to face him since she refused to.

"Are you going to the office today?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I'm going." Luca picked up the tissue and wiped her lips. She would have headed there sooner if it were not for the kids being here yesterday.

The research data was not completed yet, and she needed to speed up the research progress.

"Let's go together." Luke did not ask for her opinion. Instead, he made the decision for her.

Luca paused while she was picking up her glass of juice. She said, "Mr. Crawford, I'll have to head to my brother's house before going to work. You may head to the office first."

Luke frowned, "Why?"

"It's been two days since he replied to my messages. I'm a little worried about him, so I have to pay a visit," explained Luca. She did not intend to avoid Luke this time. After all, the rumor that the two of them had been staying together in a suite must be flying around the company by now.

It was pointless for her to avoid him and keep her distance.

After all, none of them would believe that nothing was going on between her and Luke.

That was why Luca was in a hurry to develop the drug. It was to prove that she did not get into the company by pulling the strings with Luke.

"Let me send you there." Luke decided.

Luca was being manipulated by the Island of Despair. If that was the case, Amur must be one of them too.

Still, Luke was not sure if Amur was someone placed beside Luca by the Island of Despair or if he was taking the initiative to help Luca.

However, Luca and Amur seemed close to each other. Amur did not look like someone they had arranged to keep an eye on Luca.

"It's alright, Mr. Crawford. I already told Zoey that I'd be late." Luca shook her head. She did not want Luke to find out too much about Amur's matters.

Abel had already made arrangements for Luca's identity and background for her to approach Luke.

Things were different for Amur.

If someone were to dig into Amur's past, one would find out that he was merely an ordinary person on the exterior. However, when one dug deeper into his past, one would realize that there were inconsistencies in his information.

Amur had borrowed someone's identity to complete his personal information.

Luke would find out about it if he looked further into it.

"Alright." Luke did not force her. He drove the car and left the house after breakfast.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2110-Aunt Neile walked out of the kitchen and cleaned the dishes on the table. She noticed that Luca did not follow Luke to work, so she asked, “Mr. Craw, don't you have to go to work today?"

“Yes. I'm going later," replied Luca as she gave Amur a call.

The phone stated that the call was unreachable, and no one was answering the phone.

No one had been answering the phone for the past two days, and the phone was turned off today.

Luca reckoned that Amur had left his phone on standby, and that was why his phone ran out of battery.

However, Amur would normally pick up her call instead of ignoring her calls. That was why Luca needed to head over to the apartment and check on him.

Amur had promised Luca before that he would leave markings in the apartment if he was out on a mission and he did not have the chance to inform her about it or if he was not allowed to.

There were different markings, and each marking represented how dangerous the mission was.

Aunt Neile noticed the solemn expression on Luca's face. She fell silent as she thought it would be better for her to not say anything else. Aunt Neile watched Luca put on the scarf and wrap it around her. Then, she strode out of the house. Aunt Neile carried the plates and cutleries and headed to the kitchen.

Luca did not try to hide her trails as she was going to her previous apartment. She drove the car that Luke gave her and headed right to the apartment.

After Luca reached the apartment, she came to a halt and parked the car. Then, she deliberately walked to the parking lot reserved for the residents of the apartment. She saw Amur's car parked in his spot, and there was a thick layer of snow on the top of the car.

It seemed like Amur had not driven the car lately.

It was unlikely Amur would be in the apartment, then.

Perhaps Amur was carrying out the mission Abel had assigned to him.

Luca stood in the snow. She pondered for a moment while staring at the car. A security guard came up to her when she was about to head upstairs. He asked, “Miss, why are you standing here?"

“Oh, I'm a resident here," said Luca as she stepped forward.

“Owner? Why haven't I seen you before?" the guard asked suspiciously and followed behind her.

Luca showed him her access card and said, “I left the apartment for my brother. I'm not staying here anymore."

The guard verified her access card. It was genuine. Then, he handed it back to her and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Miss. You didn't look familiar to me, so I had to ask."

“It's alright. Oh, by the way, have you seen the owner of this car lately?" Luca pointed at Amur's parking lot.

"Do you mean the white man with a Caucasian face? The good-looking guy with a tall, burly figure?" the guard asked. No foreigners went in and out of this district. Hence, Amur left an impression on him.

“Yes, that's him." Luca nodded.

“I often saw him going in and out of the apartment a few days ago. But I haven't seen him for the past two days... I don't think I've seen him around when I was on duty," said the guard. Although he was not sure about it, Amur was a foreigner with a Caucasian face. He would have noticed him.

“Alright. Thank you." Luca turned around and headed upstairs after she thanked him.

She wanted to see if Amur had left any markings in the apartment.

Luca pushed the door open and frowned.

The temperature in the apartment was the same as outside. It seemed that Amur had not been staying in the apartment for quite some time.

Luca closed the door and saw that Amur had left a marking on the door with a carving knife.

The mission's difficulty was at a moderate level.

Luca pursed her lips. If it was a moderate-level mission, Amur would have given her a call when he had the time even if he was carrying out the mission.

Hence, she refused to believe that.

However, there was no news of him after asking around. She could not ask Abel either. She had just recently offended him, after all. She was lucky enough that Abel did not come looking for trouble.

Luca looked around the apartment. She did not remain there any longer.

After all, there was no way she could find out where Amur was or what kind of mission Amur was assigned to.

Luca closed the door. Her phone vibrated when she was about to leave.

She opened her phone, and she saw a message from a string of numbers.

It was a message from the Island of Despair.

Luca opened the decoding app and decoded the numbers. The contents of the message asked her to meet somewhere around five tomorrow.

Luca let out a sigh. She thought things would be much more peaceful when she returned here. It seemed like they would not be as peaceful as she thought even after she came back.

It seemed like even Amur had gotten into trouble because of her.

Luca's eyes darkened, and they were filled with gloominess. She headed straight to T Corporation after she drove out of the apartment.

She had informed Rhett earlier that they would be having a meeting. Everyone was waiting for her in the meeting room when she stepped into the lab.

Luca said to the others while she turned her phone to silent mode, “Sorry I'm late. Let's start the meeting now."

The air in the meeting room was tense. A few researchers exchanged glances with each other without having the guts to say anything. Then, they opened their files.

The meeting was held to find out the problem with the data.

If they could not find out what was wrong with it, they would have to redo the experiment. All the efforts that they had put in and the expenses of the research would end up in vain.

The meeting lasted until noon time.

Zoey stood at the door of the meeting room and looked around. Then, she shook her head. It seemed like things were not going well here. They had not found out what was wrong with the research data.

Zoey shook her head. She thought of helping them to order takeout and wanted to ask them what they would like to have for lunch.

However, now...

Zoey decided to make the decision herself.

She returned to her office, sat on her chair, and picked up the phone. When she was about to order takeout for lunch, she saw that Jenni was looking for something in the doorway.

Zoey put down the phone and strode out of the office. “Ms. Lynn, why are you here?"

“I was looking for you. Why didn't you reply to my text?" Jenni sounded dissatisfied.

"I left my phone on the table and didn't bring it along with me just now. What can I help you with?" Zoey asked.

"I want to ask you out for lunch," replied Jenni. She glanced at the time, then she looked around the office. It seemed like Zoey was the only one left in the office.

"Why did those people working in your department leave for lunch so quickly?"

"They're having a meeting in the meeting room. I'm not joining you for lunch today. I'm planning to order takeout for them." Zoey rejected her. Tina had told her not to get too close with Jenni before. After all, she was not reliable.

Zoey had always kept that in mind. That was why she was keeping a distance from Jenni these days.

"Oh, they're still in a meeting. I heard that Luca is back in the office, huh?" said Jenni. She was not concerned that Zoey seldom contacted her lately.

Jenni came looking for her today just to ask about Luca's matters.

The news that Luca and Luke were staying in the same suite when they were on a business trip to Russia was all over the office now.

Jenni could not approach those who went on a business trip to Russia. After all, there were so many people working in the office, and she could not know every one of them. Besides, those who could go on that business trip were those who held higher positions in the office.

She was merely a manager. There was no way she could approach those people.

Hence, Jenni could ask Zoey about Luca's matter.

When Zoey realized Jenni was trying to find out about Luca's matter through her, she became alert at

once.
