Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2151-“Marie isn't a good person..." Luca could not help but blurt out.

"You know that too. It's troubling me so much. I regret bailing him out of jail now. My mom will surely get mad and pass out if she finds out about this." Nina frowned. If Anna knew about this, she might think that not bailing Jean out of jail was the right choice.

At least Jean would not have gotten back together with Marie.

Nina refused to believe that Marie was truly in love with Jean. After all, Marie never visited him when Jean was caught.

"Yeah, I know. Previously, when I was helping Old Man Rayne recuperate his health at his house, I saw Marie making a scene at the entrance of the district. Ms. Rayne told me about her," replied Luca. She did not expect a grown-up like Jean to be such a dunderhead. It was as though he was out of his mind. He was actually still attracted to Marie after what had happened.

Luca reckoned that Marie took the initiative to approach Jean because of Percy.

It was not because she was planning to seduce Percy. Marie knew it was unlikely that she would be able to seduce Percy, but it was because Nina was in a relationship with Percy now, and Jean was Nina's brother.

Marie knew Nina would not leave Jean alone no matter how much of a scoundrel he was. That was why she approached Jean. She could take advantage of him.

"She's a nuisance." Nina did not intend to conceal her hatred for Marie. Luca could understand her feelings. After all, Marie ruined their family and took everything they had.

"Let's not talk about her. Oh yes, let's go for lunch. Ask Sue to come with us too," said Luca. Even though she was using another identity now, she would still like to get together with her best friends.

She had to seize the chance when she still had it now.

"Sure. Let me tell Sue to ask her to leave her two kids to Mr. Doyle and hang out with us for lunch." Nina picked up her phone, thinking of calling Sue.

"It's better to bring the kids along," Luca said immediately. "Mr. Doyle should be on a business trip with Mr. Crawford now."

Nina was not surprised to hear that. She already knew that Luca and Luke were living together. She nodded and called Sue.

Sue agreed to come out for lunch after being invited.

Nina chose to dine in a restaurant near Mr. Doyle's house for Sue's convenience.

Luca, who was beside Nina, was fine with the idea. After all, Sue was bringing her kids with her. They should make it convenient for her.

Nina turned and looked at Luca after she ended the call, then she asked, “I decided that we'll have Western cuisine for lunch. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure. No problem. But I'll need you to send me the restaurant's location. I'm driving, and I suppose you drove here too, right?" Luca asked.

"Yes. Let me send you the restaurant's location now," said Nina, as she operated her phone.

The elevator reached the floor where the parking lot was. Luca looked at Nina. She was still searching for the restaurant's location. Luca held her hand and walked out of the elevator. "Watch your steps."

Nina sent the location to Luca and replied with a smile on her face, "I have you here with me, right? I'll be fine."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll make you fall?" Luca teased.

"Is there anything to be afraid of? Honestly, I've never been afraid of that," replied Nina. She recalled the time when she had just begun to know Luca.

She needed to be aware of Luca at that time, but she was not afraid of her doing anything to her.

Nina was surprised that she trusted Luca without any reason.

Nina placed her phone in her bag and pointed at the car beside, "My car's right here."

"Mine is at the front. I'll see you at the restaurant," replied Luca. She let go of Nina's hand, waved at her, and strolled in the direction of her car.

Luca found her car and got into it. She drove to the Western restaurant while being guided by the navigation.

Nina's car was in front of Luca's as they departed from the same destination. She was driving slowly as though she was waiting for Luca.

Luca was following close behind her.

The two of them arrived at the Western restaurant successively.

Sue was already sitting inside the restaurant as it was nearby Jason's villa. She stood up and waved at the two of them.

"There," Luca said to Nina while she was carrying a few bags in her hands.

"I saw her. Let's go," Nina smiled and said.

"Hello, Ms. Nina and Ms. Luca," greeted Kari and Teri.

"Good afternoon, Kari and Teri." Luca looked at the chubby faces of Kari and Teri. She was very fond of them. She stroked their heads before she sat down.

"It's been a while. Kari and Teri are getting more adorable every day. How cute." Nina looked at the two little girls. A daughter was always the apple of the parent's eyes, and Nina was envious of Sue.

Sue could not wait to make fun of Nina once they sat down. "It's just like what they said. People are usually in high spirits when something good happens. Nina, look at your ruddy face. I'm so envious of you. It seems like Mr. Mallory is doing well and the two of you are enjoying your life. When are you planning to get pregnant?"

Nina quickly waved her hands back and forth. She blushed with embarrassment, “What are you talking about in front of the kids? I'm not married yet. Honestly, you're the one who's been enjoying your life, huh? Your skin looks so much brighter and youthful. Well, I guess that's all thanks to Mr. Doyle, huh?" "Don't get smart with me. Hey, you're engaged. Hurry up and get married." Sue laughed and joshed. In the next second, she was rushing Nina.

Kari was curious about what Nina said, so she tugged on Sue's sleeve and asked, "Mommy, what did Daddy do?"

"Oh, nothing. He did nothing," Sue looked at her daughter helplessly, then glanced at Nina, "I told you that the kids are curious now. Stop talking nonsense."

Nina was amused and replied, "You started it first. You're the one who started the topic first. You can't blame me for that."

Then, Nina took two engagement gifts out of her bag and handed one to Luca and another one to Sue. "These are the engagement gifts. They're for you and to share my happiness. I agreed with Percy not

to make our engagement public, so we didn't make it big and invited you all. I'm sorry about that. Percy will invite the two of you for dinner after he's done with his work."

There was supposed to be an engagement dinner, but things were different for them. Nina wanted to marry Percy too. She did not ask for anything as long as Percy was by her side.

That was why everything was alright for her. She did not feel wronged. Percy was sincere to her, after all.

"Congratulations! Although it's a pity we can't attend your engagement ceremony, I'm so happy for you seeing that you've found your happiness. Don't forget to pick my daughters as your flower girl when you're getting married. You can pick either Kari or Teri." Sue took the engagement gift from her and delivered her sincere wishes.

Sue had been watching how Nina had lived her life for the past few years. She understood how tough it had been for her. Now that Nina was finally engaged to Percy, she wished Nina happiness from the bottom of her heart.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2152-“Congratulations, Ms. Nina." Kari and Teri wished Nina after Sue wished her. Sue had taught them to do so before they went out.

"How thoughtful and adorable you two little cutie pies are. I'd really like to bring you back home for a few days." Nina smiled and stroked Kari's head. The child was sitting beside her.

Luca looked at the engagement gift and smiled. "Congratulations, Nina. I wish you all the love and happiness."

"Thank you," replied Nina. Although Luca was not as talkative as Sue was, she knew Luca's wish was sincere and true.

One could not define a person's sincerity by how many words were spoken.

Teri, who was sitting beside Sue, saw the engagement gift Sue was holding and said, "Mommy, I'd like to eat the candy."

"We're having lunch soon. Is it alright if you eat it after lunch?" Sue discussed this with her daughter with a gentle voice.

"No, I want to eat it now. It looks yummy." Teri was greedy. She looked at the candy and acted cutely in front of Sue as she asked for the yummy-looking candy.

Sue was about to speak when Kari said, "Sis, you won't want to eat lunch anymore after eating the candy. Let's eat our lunch first, then we can have the candy."

Teri listened to her sister and rolled her eyes. Then, she nodded and said, "Okay. Mommy, I want candy after lunch."

"Sure. You can have the candy after lunch." Sue stroked Teri's head and looked at Nina and Luca with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry. The kids are greedy."

Nina smiled and replied, "It's nothing. Isn't it normal that kids love to eat candy? I chose the candies for the engagement gift. They're the kids' favorite candies. Luca, I put more candies in yours so that the three children can have them."

Sue was not surprised when she heard what Nina said. After all, she knew that Luca was staying in Luke's villa too.

Luca looked at the gift she was holding and smiled. It seemed like Sue and Nina had accepted the fact that she was staying together with Luke.

If it were in the past, Luca could tell them that she was only staying in the same house as Luke and that nothing was going on between them without feeling guilty.

However, Luca could not say that anymore after what had happened last night. The more she explained it, the guiltier she felt.

Although they did not take things to the next level, they almost did everything they could have done on the bed.

“Tommy loves eating candies now," said Luca. She placed the gift aside and handed the bags she carried to the two of them. "These are the souvenirs I bought for you."

Nina took the bag from her and said exaggeratedly, "I thought you bought souvenirs for Kari and Teri. I didn't expect to receive gifts!"

"Yeah. I bought them when I went to Russia for work. But I didn't have the time to deliver them to you. And I know you don't need anything, so I bought these for you. I hope you like them," said Luca. Then,

she handed another bag to Sue and said, "There are three gifts in here. Yours, Kari's, and Teri's."

Sue took the bag from Luca and instructed her two daughters, "What should you say when Ms. Luca gives you something?"

Kari and Teri said at the same time, "Thank you, Ms. Luca."

"Don't mention it." Luca picked up her cup and took a sip of the tea.

Nina peeped in the bag and realized it was a set of skincare producers. It was the brand that she had always been using. She had been using this brand for more than ten years, and she started using it when she was a teenager. She had always loved this brand, so she never changed.

"Oh my goodness. Luca, you're amazing. I've always been using this brand of skincare products. And you actually bought me the same brand. It's the perfect gift," Nina could not help but compliment her.

Nina liked gifts that were practical and useful.

What Luca gave her was practical, and it was the brand she had been using.

"Really? I'm glad you like it." Luca took another sip of tea.

"Of course, I like it, but how did you know I've been using this brand?" Nina asked. Although she had known Luca for some time, they had never discussed things as other bosom friends did. They never talked about what kind of skincare products or makeup products they used. They had never talked about luxury goods either.

"I saw the products, so I just bought them. It's a famous skincare brand. Many love this brand. Besides, your skin type suits this brand too. I didn't expect you to like this brand. What a coincidence," Luca smiled and said.

Nina shook her head and replied, "I think you're just sharp. Sue, take a look at your gift. I think Luca's been secretly watching us live our lives from behind."

"That's dramatic." Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Nina say so. However, there was no way she could tell them she knew what brand of skincare products they used.

Sue was curious after listening to what Nina said. She wanted to know if Luca could pick the perfect gift for her too. Sue picked up one of the boxes in the bag. It was wrapped nicely in a gift wrapper, and she did not know what was inside.

Luca explained when she noticed the puzzled look on Sue's face. "The wrapped boxes are Barbie dolls. The shop assistant took the initiative to help me to wrap them when she knew I was buying them as gifts." "How considerate." Sue did not open the boxes and spoke to her daughters instead, "These are the Barbie dolls Ms. Luca bought for you. You're only allowed to open them when we're home."

Kan's and Teri's eyes brightened up when they heard that the gifts were Barbie dolls, then they looked at Luca and thanked her again, "Thank you, Ms. Luca. We like it."

They were really twins. They even said the same thing.

The last gift belonged to Sue. She had the same reaction when she saw a set of skincare products. “I usually use this skincare brand too. Luca, I'd truly suspect that you sent someone to investigate what skincare products we're using if I didn't know you're so busy with work.”

“Well, I bought these according to your skin type. These two sets of skincare products are ranked the best in the world for your skin types. That's why I bought them for you," Luca replied hurriedly.

"But there are many skincare products that suit our skin type too. Other famous brands also have the same products. You could actually pick the skincare products we usually use based on our skin type.

This is crazy," Nina complimented. She was secretly thinking that Luca must have done her homework. novelbin

However, how did she find out what kind of skincare products were Nina and Sue using?

Did Mr. Doyle and Percy tell her?

Still, the two of them were the insensitive type of men. They would not know what skincare products Nina and Sue were using. Hence, they would not notice the brand they used as well.

Even though Nina was not sure if Jason was that kind of person, she knew Percy very well.

If she asked Percy to get her skincare products, he would send the photos to his assistant and ask him to get them for her. He did not understand what the skincare products were used for.

“I guess I happened to be lucky enough," replied Luca. She picked up the menu beside her and said. "Let's order now. Kari and Teri must be hungry."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2153-"Alright, let's order." Nina handed the other menu to Sue, while she shared a menu with Luca.

After ordering, they discussed the current affairs in A City.

Luca did not say anything as she did not know much about what was going on in A City, so she just listened to them talk.

They were exposed to much more things than she was.

Luca was always in the laboratory working on the research. She practically had no chance of coming in contact with the outside world.

However, Nina and Sue were different.

They were still the backbone of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. They were in charge of the decisionmaking for basically all the matters at the company. It was only when it came to a particularly important decision that they would leave it up to Luke.

Sue and Nina talked for some time before noticing that Luca had not spoken at all, so Sue apologized, "Sorry about that, Luca."

"Why apologize? The things you're talking about are quite interesting," Luca said with a smile. They were talking about matters concerning the upper-class circle of A City. She even heard several familiar names.

After hearing their conversation, she could not help but sigh at the things all these people had done over the years.

Sure enough, where there were people, there would not be peace.

"I'm afraid you'll be bored. Besides, you don't know these people," said Sue as she picked up a cup of water to feed Kari.

"I actually know a couple of names, like the one you just mentioned, Brody. His family, the Hilton family, seems to be in international trade. I've heard of a Hilton family in Russia and the heir's name is Brody. Could it be the same Brody?" asked Luca. Saying that the Hilton family was doing business abroad would not arouse the two's suspicion.

Nina nodded and said, "It should be the same person."

"If that's the case, the Hilton family used to have several businesses in Russia. I never thought that they would turn out this way..."

After listening to their conversation, it seemed like the Hilton family was not holding up well.

Their foreign businesses had nearly all been shut down, leaving them with only some domestic estates. It seemed like they ended up in this situation because of Brody's poor management, but of course, there were other reasons.

“Ever since Grandma Hilton passed away, most of the Hilton family's businesses fell into the hands of Brody. Unfortunately, he lost almost all of the Hilton family's estates," said Sue as she knew more about this because of Jason.

"The one with the most business acumen in the Hilton family was Grandma Hilton, but Brody dated Leia and a series of unfortunate events happened after that, so Grandma Hilton got so angry that she got a stroke and passed away a few years later. Nobody watched over Brody, so he let himself go. He got together with another female celebrity after breaking up with Leia, but she did not seem to have good intentions as she kept depleting the Hilton family's wealth," Nina explained to Luca.

Luca shook her head helplessly after hearing that.

Combining all of their estates, the Hilton family used to be on par with the Crawford family.

It was just that the Hilton family's estates were all abroad, so the people here always felt that they were no match for the Crawford family.

Unexpectedly, Brody still did not grow up after losing Leia and went on to find a female celebrity instead.

Not to mention, the celebrity and Leia even knew each other.

Well, birds of a feather flock together.

All of a sudden, Luca did not know how to judge the situation...

Sue nodded. "If Grandma Hilton were still around, she would never have let the female celebrity join their family. Her judgment of people was precise and harsh. She had always protected the Hilton family. It's a shame she had such an unfilial grandson who made her so angry that she passed away. The reason why Luke and Jason went on a business trip today is to purchase one of the Hilton family's branches."

Luca only realized that Luke had gone to acquire a company after hearing Sue's words.

She had thought that it was some other project of T Corporation.

"Why are you saying that out loud? Aren't you afraid of leaking company secrets?" Nina said with a smile.

"What is there to be afraid of? The bidding document was stolen by Pierre when they were competing for M Group's project but they still secured the project. I believe in my man and his boss," Sue said confidently. Although Jason was Luke's assistant, to have his assistant help take over a company was going overboard.

She did not say anything as Jason wanted to stay by Luke's side. Besides, they might seem to have an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, but in fact, they had been friends for a long time.

Unlike Bailey, she would not force Jason to be strong on the outside for the sake of saving face.

She felt that living comfortably and honestly while doing the things one liked was good enough.

It was not like Jason was not making any progress. He had been making progress by being beside Luke for all these years. It was just that Bailey could not see this and forced him to leave T Corporation to manage a different company. Jason refused and coupled with some other reasons, their relationship came to an end.

Nina gave her a thumbs up. "You're the first person I've ever met to brag about her man in such a short and simple way."

Before Sue could say anything, Kari said with pride, “Daddy is the best daddy in the world."

Sue and Kari's words had Luca's lips curl up into a smile. She casually asked, "What company is Mr. Crawford trying to acquire?"

"You don't know?" Sue was a little taken aback as she thought that she was still working beside Luke.

"Of course, I wouldn't know. T Corporation's Russian translator was on maternity leave the last time and they didn't want to hire fresh graduates as they would be troublesome and won't be able to catch up with the progress of the project's bidding document. They didn't have anyone else, which was why they had me replace the position. Now that the project is theirs, I've returned to the laboratory to conduct my experiments. That's my job," Luca told them.

"I see. It's all Jason's fault. He's always talking about how capable you are all the time. I almost forgot that you're a research professor, not a translator." Sue helplessly slapped her forehead.

"Luca is capable of a lot of things, including cleaning up the trouble that Jean caused. If it weren't for her, he would be in prison right now," said Nina.

Luca chuckled out of embarrassment after hearing Nina praise her.

In the middle of their conversation, the meal they ordered was already brought to the table by the waiter.

The three adults and two kids ate with relish.

After their meal, they thought about visiting Sue's place, but Nina received a call.

"Hello, who is this?" asked Nina.

It was unknown what the caller on the other end had said, but Nina's expression got gloomier.

Luca noticed and gestured for Sue to stop talking for a while.

Then, they heard Nina say, "Alright, got it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'll go over there right now."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2154-"What's wrong?" Luca noticed the ghastly expression on Nina's face.

“The Rayne family called. They said that Jean is standing in front of the villa with Marie and refuses to leave. The guards could only notify the tenant, so Wanda had no choice but to call me," said Nina while putting on the jacket she took off.

If it were not for the fact that she was Bianca's best friend, Wanda would have already made a police report. Jean was her brother, so Wanda was just giving her grace by calling her to let her deal with it.

Luca stood up as soon as she heard that. “Isn't Jean a law-abiding citizen now? Why cause trouble for Aunt—the Rayne family?"

Luca's anxiousness raised Nina's suspicion, and she looked even more distressed. “I reckon it's because I refuse to give him money. Jean doesn't have a penny to his name now. Perhaps it's also because Marie incited him to do this."

Luca thought of the soft and fragile Wanda. She was ill at ease. “I'll go with you."

Nina wanted to tell Luca to not get involved in this mess, but after seeing the worry on her face, she nodded and said to Sue, “Sue, I have to rush over to deal with Jean's matter, so you take the children back first."

“Okay, go on." Sue waved when she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Luca and Nina left the restaurant together and drove to the Rayne family's house separately.

Since it was a weekend and it had snowed, many people were traveling. The road conditions were terrible, so everyone drove slowly, resulting in some congestion at multiple traffic light intersections.

Luca was a little impatient looking at the long line of cars.

She was not worried that Jean and Marie would startle the elderly as Luke had placed them in a neighborhood with a good security system. Practically no outsiders could get in, so they would definitely be blocked at the door.

However, she was worried that Jean and Marie might bump into Wanda.

“Marie has lost her mind," Luca could not help but mutter. She lost her mind and had to drag Jean down with her.

Jean was six feet tall. If he were to lay a finger on Wanda, she would certainly be no match for him.

She did not know what was going on over there now and only hoped that Wanda would not bump into Jean face-to-face.

The line of cars moved slowly. After half a minute, it stopped again.

She still had to wait for the traffic light, but fortunately, after this traffic light, she would be able to get to the neighborhood where the Rayne family's house was.

The phone Luca placed on the passenger's seat rang. She glanced at the screen that lit up and saw that she had a message.

Her intuition told her that it was Luke.

Luca picked up her phone to open the message, and there it was: [I've gotten off the plane. What are you doing?"

[I'm on my way to the Rayne family's house.] Luca did not try to hide it.

[What are you going there for?] Luke's message came through.

[I'm with Nina. She got a call that Jean and Marie were causing trouble in the Rayne family's neighborhood, so I'm going over there and check it out.] Luca explained as briefly as she could.

After a while, Luke's message came again. [Got it. I'll find someone to handle this matter.]

[Okay, I'll go over to see how it goes.] Luca's mind was at ease after seeing his message.

It was just Jean and Maire. There was no need for Luke to meddle in the situation. If Wanda were a little less compassionate, reporting it to the police would have solved the problem.

However, Luca understood Wanda. She did not take such extreme measures because of Jean.

Jean was Nina's brother. Other than being her best friend, Nina was also Percy's fiancee. Percy was very close with Luke, so she also took Luke into account.

If Marie had not brought Jean with her, Wanda would not have been soft-hearted and would have called the police immediately.

She believed that Marie brought Jean with her for that reason.

While Luca was analyzing the situation, the traffic light turned green.

After she followed the traffic and passed the intersection, she drove to the entrance of the neighborhood. She parked her car in the temporary parking space next to the green belt and opened the door to get out of the car.

It was a straight road, so Luca could see Jean and Marie standing at the entrance from afar. There were two security guards with sticks blocking their way.

She did not see Wanda. She did not know whether Wanda had not come down or if she was standing inside.

“Let's go." Nina also got out of the car. When she saw Jean from afar, her expression became somber all of a sudden.

Luca walked with her to the entrance of the neighborhood.

Jean was wrangling with the security guard and did not notice that Nina had come over.

“Jean, what are you doing here?" Nina was furious and spoke in a tone that was as enraged as her expression.

Jean was startled and turned around. He showed a face of disgust when he saw Nina, but he was a little taken aback when he saw Luca. “Why are you here?"

“You're making a scene at someone else's doorstep. How could I not come?" Nina looked inside the neighborhood and saw Wanda. There was some snow on her shoulders. It seemed like she had been standing there for some time.

“Who said I'm here to cause trouble? I came here for a visit. Look at what I'm carrying in my hands. This is for Old Master Rayne," said Jean.

"Who do you think you are to greet Grandpa Rayne? Jean, have your eyes gone blind these past few years? Have you lost your marbles? How could you be with a woman like Maire and still come to greet Old Master Rayne? Are you welcome here? Do you think you're worthy? Don't embarrass me and go home now." Nina dropped a bomb without sparing him any dignity.

Marie was instantly upset when her name was mentioned. "That's enough, Nina. Don't think that you can interfere just because you're engaged to Percy. I'm my grandfather's granddaughter, and I just want to bring my boyfriend home to meet him. What's the matter with that? Can an outsider like you stop me?"

Luca did not intend on saying anything. She just came over to check on Wanda, but after hearing Marie talk about her grandpa, she could not keep her silence anymore. "Ms. Rayne, it's better for you to not go around saying you're related to them. If you're in your right mind, leave right now and don't disturb the elderly."

"What are you talking about? Who are you to chase me out? Who are you to the Rayne family?" Marie let go of the hand holding Jean. She loathed this woman named Luca.

Not only did Luca stand in her way before when she was trying to meet Wanda, but she was even standing here making sarcastic comments now. Moreover, ever since she appeared, Jean's eyes had been glued to her.

Wh*re! She was a shameless wh*re!

"She's my father's savior." Wanda, who had not spoken a word, finally opened her mouth and said, "Marie, although your last name is Rayne, you changed your name after your mother came. You're not blood-related to the Rayne family. Plus, you know what you and your mother have done. The fact that we didn't hold you accountable doesn't mean that we think of you as family. I didn't call the police today not because I want to see you repent but for Nina's sake."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2155-Marie bit her lip. She knew all of that?

She instantly felt guilty when Wanda looked at her.

Luca was puzzled when she heard Wanda's words and looked at Marie's guilty expression.

What else did Marie and her mother do that she was not aware of?

Nina stood at the side and apologized to Wanda, "I'm very sorry, Aunt Rayne. If this happens again, please just call the police immediately without informing me."

She already knew that she would not be able to chase Jean away even before she came.

It was because this was the first time this had happened, so she wanted to apologize to Wanda personally.

"Nina, what did you say?" Jean did not believe the words that came out of her mouth. He instantly could not bear the sight of her and raised his hand to slap her. novelbin

Luca reacted quickly and blocked him. She raised her hand and forcefully grabbed Jean's wrist. "If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll make you regret it."

Jean looked at Luca's exquisite face. Even though she was barefaced and looked angry, she still looked pretty. He could not help but be captivated by her beauty. He embarrassedly pulled back his hand. "I was just messing with Nina. I wouldn't actually hit her."

Luca dusted off her hands as she felt disgusted that she had touched Jean.

After being around Luke for some time, she became like him—a germaphobe.

She said, "Leave right now. If you don't, it's you who'll suffer."

"On what basis? This is the Rayne family, and my last name is Rayne. What's an outsider like you yakking about here?" Marie saw Jean not taking his eyes off Luca. He even spoke to her in an ingratiating tone. She immediately got angry and reached to pinch his waist.

She used great force and did not show Jean any mercy.

"Hiss! What are you doing, you crazy b*tch?" Jean's gaze temporarily left Luca, and he glared at Marie.

Marie said sarcastically, "I'm helping you save your soul. Otherwise, your soul would've been snatched by that wh*re!" "You're crazy," said Jean. They came here today to ingratiate themselves with the Rayne family and benefit from it.

The reason he listened to Marie was that he was lacking money. At the same time, he agreed with her words. Wanda was just a city girl who dared not offend Percy and would not cause any trouble for Luke.

They did not expect that they would summon Nina before they could even go in.

Luca was not interested in hearing them talk and gave an ultimatum, “If you don't leave, Mr. Crawford's people will be here soon."

"Luke?" Jean gritted his teeth. That man must be haunting him.

He stole his woman and ruined everything!

"Mr. Crawford knows you came here to cause trouble, so he got some people to come over. They should be here anytime now. They're coming to send the both of you to the police station." Luca glanced at her watch.

"You..." Jean did not expect that Luke would intervene in such a matter.

Marie shrunk out of fear when she heard Luke's name as he was a man of his word. She was detained for a few days before. Ever since then, she did not dare make noise outside the gate. For a long time, she could only wait for Wanda to come out after being chased by the security guards to the opposite road.

"Forget it, Jean. Let's not bother arguing with the likes of them. Let's go. I'll contact Grandpa myself." Marie hurriedly pulled his arm and left.

Jean thought that Luca was bluffing to frighten them and had no intention of leaving. "What are you afraid of? No, I can't go home empty-handed today."

"You've already disgraced yourself by coming to someone else's doorstep. What more do you want? Money?" Nina stomped her foot in anger. Luca had warned them and given them a chance, but they still refused to leave?

Marie pulled Jean's neck and whispered something in his ear.

Jean became grim-faced and viciously spat on the ground after she was done talking. "Just you wait. I won't stop here."

After his harsh words, Jean and Marie left in a hurry.

Nina breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but think that she was almost forced to go to the police station again to bail out the loser that was Jean.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Rayne. I didn't know that Jean would go so far," apologized Nina.

Wanda shook her head and said helplessly, "It's not your fault. I think he was incited by Marie. How could he."

She dared not judge what others did, so she did not continue.

Nina smiled awkwardly and finally looked at Luca. "Thank you, Luca."

"No problem. Do you have a tissue?" asked Luca. She got out of the car in a hurry and did not wear mittens, so her skin came in contact with Jean.

She felt dirty.

Nina looked into her handbag and pulled out a wet tissue. "Is a wet tissue okay?

"Yes, thanks." Luca opened the packaging and pulled out a wet tissue to wipe her hands.

Nina glanced at Luca and added, "Good thing you were smart enough to think of a way to scare them. Otherwise, there's no telling how long they would continue making noise here."

“I meant it." After wiping her hands clean, she put the wet wipe back into the packaging to throw it away later when she came across a trash bin.

"Really? But isn't Mr. Crawford out of town on a business trip?" Nina's eyes widened.

Luca glanced at Wanda. Since Wanda was looking at her, she could only make up a small lie, "Mr. Crawford was looking for me for some work-related matters, and I was worried that Jean and Marie would get into big trouble, so I told him."

Nina's thoughts were written all over her face. She nodded and said, "Mr. Crawford is awesome."

"Luke's people had sent Marie to the police station before. That's why she's so scared. What are you both standing there for? Come in and have a seat," said Wanda. She did not have a problem with Nina as she was not the same kind of person as Jean. Plus, because of her relationship with Bianca, she quite liked Nina.

"No, thank you, Aunt Rayne. I have some stuff to do, so I'll be leaving," Nina said in a hurry and looked at Luca. "Want to come with me?"

"I'd better wait here. Mr. Crawford's people should be arriving soon." Luca felt that it would be troublesome to inform Luke and then have him inform those people again, so she planned to wait here.

Nina thought of going back to teach Jean a lesson, so she left first.

Luca saw Wanda still standing there and said, "Aunt Rayne, it's cold out here. You should go back in. I'll leave after I take care of everything here."

Wanda shook her head slightly, and her eyes looked even more gentle. "I'll chat with you and keep you company. If you don't have anything to do later, come in for a cup of tea."

"Sure." Luca accepted Wanda's invitation instantly as she missed her grandpa.

She usually would not have an excuse or opportunity to visit the old man, so now that Wanda had given her the chance, she immediately agreed.

Wanda swiped her card and walked out. She stood next to Luca and chatted with her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2156-After a while, Luke's people rushed over.

Then, Luca briefly explained everything to them and let them go back.

Luca heaved a sigh of relief as the matter had finally been resolved. Wanda saw the smile on her face after the problem was dealt with and could not help but lift her hand to dust off the fallen snow on Luca's shoulders.

“You must've rushed over here, right? You don't even have your gloves on. It must be freezing. Let's go inside," she said.

"Okay, Aunt Rayne." Luca rubbed her palms together and followed Wanda into the neighborhood.

Wanda walked beside Luca, and when she looked sideways at her, she was momentarily distracted by the fact that Luca was the same height as Bianca.

Bianca used to walk beside her like this, but walking with Luca beside her gave her the same feeling.

She was bewildered.

Wanda shook her head slightly. Luca noticed and asked, "What is it, Aunt Rayne?" novelbin

"Nothing. It's a cold winter day, so let's hurry inside the house. Old Master Crawford is here too. You should know him, right? He's Luke's grandfather," said Wanda as she pressed her fingerprint to open the door.

Old Master Crawford was here?

Luca stopped in her tracks and paused for a moment as she remembered what happened yesterday.

If Old Master Crawford could carry out such a plan, he must be trying to matchmake her and Luke.

He was here as a guest today...

Luca knew that he was close to Grandpa Rayne, and she could only pray that the old master would not say too much when he saw her later, lest he aroused the suspicion of Grandpa and Aunt Wanda.

"What's the matter?" Wanda closed the door and noticed that something was wrong with Luca's expression.

Luca forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect Old Master Crawford to be here as well."

"Old Master Crawford came this morning and seemed to be in a good mood. He's been playing chess with my father and even stayed for lunch. Both of them are probably well-rested now and are ready to continue playing chess," said Wanda.

Ever since Old Man Rayne's health improved after Luca's treatment, Old Master Crawford often came over to play chess with him.

With a chessboard, a few cups of tea, and some simple refreshments, Old Master Crawford could spend the entire day here.

As he would say, this place was better than Crawford Manor. At least it was quiet.

After seeing how much he liked staying here, Wanda had the maids prepare a room for him as a nap room as the elderly had the habit of taking naps in the afternoon.

Wanda was also glad that there was someone to play chess with Old Man Rayne as it could relieve his boredom.

Luca nodded in agreement with her words.

Wanda thought that she was nervous to see Old Master Crawford because he was her boss' grandfather, so she reassured her by saying, “Don't worry. Old Master Crawford is quite nice to get along with in private. He's easy-going and not fussy."

"Good." That was all Luca could say. She was not worried that Old Master Crawford would be hard to get along with at all. She was worried that he would slip up and expose her.

Besides, Aunt Wanda and her grandpa would definitely side with her old identity.

The two of them walked into the house.

Wanda instructed the maid, "Luca, take off your jacket and let the maid help you dry your clothes."

"Ah, alright." Luca took off her jacket.

The maid took her jacket and said, "Ms. Craw, is there anything in the pockets? If not, I'll pick it up and dry it for you."

"No, there's nothing in them. Thank you," said Luca politely.

The maid nodded and said to Wanda, "Madam, the two elderly are up and playing chess in the second- floor living room."

"Alright. I'll send some refreshments over later." Wanda nodded slightly. She took off her jacket and put it aside for the maid to dry Luca's jacket first.

The maid walked into the laundry room with Luca's jacket.

After taking off her scarf and gloves, she said to Luca, "Luca, have a seat first. I'll go prepare some snacks and tea."

"Let me help you," said Luca.

Wanda shook her head in disagreement. "You're the guest. How can I let you help?"

"Just let me help. Moving around is better than sitting," said Luca. She had not made food for Old Man Rayne in a long time.

She remembered that he used to love her cooking and her snacks. He even praised her for making the best food in the world.

At that time, she had thought that she would be able to spend her entire life as his filial granddaughter. Little did she know that after changing her identity, even the simplest things like visiting him had become so difficult.

Wanda saw how she insisted and was ready to say no until she heard Luca say, "Aunt Rayne, if you want me to sit in the living room and wait until you're done, maybe I should just leave."

"Don't, don't. I can't argue with you, huh? Come on, let's go prepare together," said Wanda.

After she agreed, Luca smiled and walked into the kitchen with her.

"I'll make tea for the two old masters first. They both love to drink tea after waking up," said Wanda as she handed her the other apron.

After taking that apron and tying it on, Luca said, "So, what do I have to do?"

Wanda took out the tea leaves and picked up the mountain spring water used especially for making tea and said helplessly, "I need to think about what snacks to prepare. Usually, I would've had everything prepared, but because Jean and Marie came over and caused so much trouble, I didn't have the time."

"I'll make some sugar-free cookies. Is that okay?" asked Luca.

"You even know how to make cookies?" Wanda was a little surprised.

"Yup, I like eating them too," said Luca.

"Sure. My father loves cookies, but he still likes his granddaughter's cookies the most. However, after everything that happened, he hasn't eaten them in a long time. The cookies I make are not as good as my niece's, so I'll hand the task to you, okay?" said Wanda while making tea.

"No problem. Where are the ingredients?" asked Luca.

"They're in the cupboard and fridge."

"Alright. I'll get started, then." Luca did not dilly-dally and started working on it right after she found the ingredients.

Wanda was a little shocked to see her movements. How did she find all the ingredients so quickly?

She knew where all the ingredients were as if she lived here.

Luca gathered all the ingredients and skillfully made the cookies.

After Wanda finished making the tea, she said, "Luca, I'll send the tea up first. I'll come down and help you later."

"Alright," said Luca. After taking a look at the kitchen oven, she saw that it was big enough to make some cupcakes after she was done making cookies.

She remembered that Grandpa Rayne was different from others. He loved these snacks the most and said that they were delicate and delicious.

Luca understood that the older generation had been through a lot, so these snacks were new foods to him at the time, which was why he liked them.

 

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2157-Wanda carried the tea upstairs and saw that the two old masters were in fact sitting in the second-floor living room playing chess.

“Dad, Old Master Crawford, have some tea first. The refreshments will only be done later." Wanda did not mention the incident with Jean and Marie.

However, Old Man Rayne had heard about it from the maid. He waited until she put down the tea before asking, "Has that girl left?"

"Dad, you know about it..." Wanda sighed resignedly.

"The maid was the one who helped me after I woke up from my nap. How could I not know? Hasn't it been some time since she came here? Why is she back?" Old Man Rayne may be old and in need of affection from his family, but he did not have even the slightest bit of affection for Marie.

He thought that Marie was gone for good. He did not expect her to come again today, which made him feel disgusted.

In Wanda's haste to rush out, she forgot to inform the maid to not tell the old master about this. She then glanced at Old Master Crawford.

Old Man Rayne noticed it and said, "It's fine for him to hear about it. Just tell me what's going on."

Old Master Crawford added, "Yes, yes, don't treat me as an outsider. I want to hear what's going on too."

"That child has a boyfriend and said that she brought her boyfriend over to visit you. She even said that she bought a bunch of gifts for you," Wanda had no choice but to say as Old Master Crawford also knew about what had happened between the Rayne family and Marie.

She felt ashamed to say it in front of him.

"She wouldn't be so kind." Old Man Rayne picked up his teacup and took a slow sip.

Old Master Crawford was shrewd enough to notice the grim look on her face and asked, "Who is that girl's boyfriend?"

"It's Jean Langdon." Wanda did not try to hide it as she reckoned that Jean and Marie would not stop there. They might still come over again. Fortunately, it was hard for the old master to walk, so he would not step out of the house.

He would not be able to catch both of them red-handed and get worked up.

"Him?" Old Man Rayne was very familiar with that name. Even after all these years, he remembered all the things Jean had done to Bianca back then because of his unrequited love.

"Didn't they break up?" said Old Man Rayne as he remembered clearly that Jean and Marie had broken up after getting together.

"I don't know why they're together again. They even said that they wanted to visit you, but the problem has been resolved," said Wanda. She saw Old Master Crawford open up the chessboard and helped set up the pieces.

"Jean is a troublemaker as well. I heard Luke mention that he caused trouble at a bar because of a woman and the person he beat up was sent to the ICU. After he survived the critical period, he was moved to the general ward but had a sudden heart attack. The doctors weren't there at the time, so Luca was the one who had to rescue the man," said Old Master Crawford with a tone of admiration for Luca.

"Inform the management about these two and tell the security guards to not let them in." The old master just wanted to live in peace and quiet without being disturbed by all of this.

He also wanted his granddaughter to be by his side, but the granddaughter he had in mind was certainly not Marie.

"I know," said Wanda. When Old Master Crawford was telling the story about Jean hurting people, she noticed that he had mentioned a name. She asked out of curiosity, "Say, Old Master Crawford, are you close with Luca?"

"Yes. Speaking of which, she's also my benefactor. Luke got her to check my pulse once, and she said that there was no big issue, just some geriatric diseases. Then, I had her stay back for dinner. After she drank a bowl of tonic, guess what happened?" Old Master Crawford purposely stopped at a cliffhanger.

Old Man Rayne also had a good impression of Luca, so he was interested in what the other man had to say. "What happened?"

"She noticed that there were herbs in the tonic that was not suitable for me to take, and my insomnia was caused by consuming the herbs. My condition was made worse because of the herbs," Old Master Crawford explained after seeing how curious Old Man Rayne was.

However, he did not mention that Susan was the one who had the cook add the herbs.

There was a saying that he stood by, 'Don't air your dirty linen in public'.

"Luca is really brilliant," praised Old Man Rayne.

"You're right, there are not many people who are as knowledgeable as her about pharmacology at such a young age," Old Master Crawford boasted. An all-rounder like her who was also good with children was the best choice to replace Bianca to be by Luke's side.

Although Bianca was still Luke's legitimate wife, no one knew where she was.

Old Master Crawford felt that it was a shame, but he also had a selfish desire for Luke to be happy and use that happiness to make up for his unfortunate childhood.

Wanda listened to Old Master Crawford's compliments and was confused. It seemed that Luca was very close to the old master.

Then, why did she look so nervous when she learned that Old Master Crawford was here?

Old Man Rayne looked at Wanda who was deep in thought and asked, "Wanda, what snacks do we have today?"

"You'll find out later. I'll go down and help out first." Wanda left them in suspense. Although Luca had volunteered to prepare cookies for the old masters as a snack, she was unsure of how good her cooking skills were.

Therefore, she did not say anything on purpose. In case Luca did not do a good job, she could still bring out the snacks she bought from the store to serve the two old masters.

"Alright, you go ahead." Old Man Rayne was unaware that Luca had come. He thought that she was going downstairs to help the maid.

In the past, it would be fine to have no snacks, but Old Master Crawford was here, so snacks were a must. It would be best if they were not store-bought because that would lack sincerity.

Wanda went downstairs and walked into the kitchen to see that Luca had already prepared the dough and was ready to use the mold.

"Wow, you're so fast." Wanda was surprised to see that she was already molding cookies on the tray.

"Because you let the butter come to room temperature beforehand, so I was able to do it this quickly," said Luca while her hand movements were neat and efficient.

Wanda watched her work as efficiently as a professional dessert chef. The cookies came out looking great.

Although she did not know how they would taste, they looked good enough as they were. novelbin

"What can I do?" She had originally wanted to help, but it seemed like this was Luca's home turf. Wanda just watched from the sidelines, not knowing what to do. She was worried that if she insisted on helping, she would be more of a hindrance instead.

"I also want to make some cupcakes for the two elderly, Aunt Rayne. Why don't you help me crack some eggs?" said Luca.

"Alright, how many do you need?" Wanda thought that preparing more would also show their warm welcome to Old Master Crawford, so she picked up a clean bowl.

"Six, for now. No need to separate the egg whites. Just beat it," said Luca.

"Okay." Wanda picked up the eggs, and one by one, she cracked a total of six eggs into the bowl.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2158-The oven was done preheating right after Luca finished shaping the cookies.

After she placed the cookies in the oven, she looked back at Wanda and saw that the eggs in the bowl were beaten as well.

“Do I add flour next?" asked Wanda. She knew how to bake cakes. Usually, the next step would be to add flour, but she still subconsciously asked Luca.

"Aunt Rayne, let me take it from here." Luca blinked.

"Could it be that you have a secret recipe?" Wanda was curious and passed the baton to her.

"Not really, but I'm not making a chiffon cake, so the steps are a little different," said Luca as she added the melted butter into the egg mixture. Then, she added an appropriate amount of sugar substitute and milk. Finally, she added the flour.

Wanda watched her stir the mixture and took out cupcake molds from the cupboard to hold the batter.

After Luca mixed the cake batter evenly, she poured it into the molds.

Then, she readjusted the temperature of the oven and placed the cupcakes into the oven as well.

Wanda was dumbfounded. "Is this going to work?"

She had never seen different types of pastries being baked together. To be able to do this, one would need to be a professional patissier.

"It'll work. Your kitchen oven is big enough, and the temperature is just right. The cookies and cupcakes will be out of the oven in 20 minutes, so you don't have to wait too long," said Luca.

"I knew you were well-versed in the medical field, but I didn't expect you to know your way around the kitchen as well," Wanda could not help but praise her. Was she really an all-rounder?

"It's just a hobby. I'm not that great at it. I just like dabbling in these kinds of stuff when I'm not busy." Luca washed her hands clean and pulled out a paper towel to wipe away the water on the surface.

Wanda looked at her long and slender hands. She did not seem like the type of person who would do these things at all.

One could not judge a book by its cover, after all.

Wanda poured her a cup of tea. "Good work. Have some tea."

Luca took the teacup and smiled faintly. "Thank you." novelbin

She took a sip of tea and had no intention of leaving the kitchen as every oven had its temperament. To avoid burning the cookies and cupcakes, she stayed there to watch over them.

Besides, it was the last step. No mistakes could be made.

Wanda understood, so she did not have Luca leave the kitchen. She poured a cup of tea and leaned against the kitchen counter to chat with her. “I heard from Old Master Crawford that you once helped nurse him back to health?"

Luca did not expect Old Master Crawford to tell her about this. She felt apprehensive for a moment as she hoped that the old master had only said so much and kept the rest to himself.

"Yes, Mr. Crawford was worried about Old Master Crawford's health, so he asked me to go over and check his pulse," said Luca.

"How brilliant. You know so much at such a young age. Be honest, you must really like medicine, right?" There was some admiration in Wanda's tone.

"It's alright. I just hate leaving my fate in the hands of others, especially people I don't know very well. That's why I studied medicine," said Luca.

She did indeed hate that, but that was in fact her current situation.

Everything was in the hands of Abel, and she could not escape.

Wanda furrowed her eyebrows as she sipped her tea. "That's an unusual reason to pursue medicine."

"Is it? Doctors don't heal themselves, but when people are sick, it's often the most critical time for them. I'm not willing to see the people I care about the most in the hands of another doctor."

Wanda felt like she could empathize with her words. If she had to entrust her loved ones to a doctor because of diseases, she would feel helpless too.

"So, how did you end up on the research path instead of becoming a doctor?" she asked as she was curious to know everything about Luca.

"I'm not used to seeing life and death. I don't like the oppressiveness of hospitals, so I switched to biopharmaceuticals." Luca made up another round of nonsense.

Did she have the freedom to choose?

No, because it was all Abel's arrangement. The fact that she was able to help the people closest to her amid his plan was already considered lucky.

When she was done talking, the maid walked in. The aroma of the cookies and cupcakes in the oven had already diffused into the air.

"It smells so good. What snacks have you made, Madam?"

"Luca made cookies and cakes." Wanda pursed her lips and smiled.

"They're so fragrant. If we bake them a little longer, the aroma will spread to the second floor. The two old masters will start drooling for sure." The maid took another deep breath. The aroma was even more irresistible than the pastries in bakeries.

"They're truly very fragrant," said Wanda. If the old master were not playing chess upstairs right now, he would come down after smelling it too.

The maid looked at Luca with sparkling eyes. "Ms. Craw, can you give me the recipe? I'll go home and make them for my kids too."

"Of course. I'll send it to Aunt Rayne later. You can ask her for it," said Luca. It was just a food recipe, not a formula for drugs. Of course, she could share it.

"How kind of you. Thank you," said the maid thankfully.

“There are quite a lot of cookies and cupcakes, so pack some up later and bring them home for the kids to try when you get off work," said Wanda as she guessed that the four of them would not be able to finish them.

"Thank you, Madam." The maid was pleasantly surprised.

20 minutes later, a ding came from the oven, so Luca wore oven mitts and took out both the cookies and cupcakes.

The maid watched from aside and could not help but utter, "Well done."

"If you want to make some for your kids, you can choose to make shapes. The cookie batter is easily malleable, so the cookies would not only taste great but look nice too," said Luca as she was very satisfied with how the cookies and cupcakes had turned out.

If the three little ones at home were to see this, they would be drooling.

"Okay." The maid hurriedly picked up a plate to help with the plating.

After they were done plating the snacks, Wanda carried it and said to Luca, "Luca, why don't we go upstairs together and have a chat with the old masters?"

"Sure." Luca agreed. Although she was worried that Old Master Crawford would blurt something out when he got too excited, she wanted to see her grandpa.

After weighing her options, she decided to visit her grandpa.

Wanda carried the snacks while Luca carried two cups of tea as they went upstairs together.

Old Master Crawford's nose shrewdly sniffed the scent. He said to himself, "The aroma is getting closer and closer. I'm indeed getting a little hungry."

Old Man Rayne moved a chess piece and said, "You have to finish this game even if you're hungry."

"Well, that's a given. Did you think that I was finding excuses halfway because I'm afraid of losing?" said Old Master Crawford while making a move.

"The refreshments are here." Wanda placed the snacks on the coffee table. "Dad, Old Master Crawford, these snacks were made by Luca. Stop your chess game and give them a taste."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2159-Only after Wanda had called attention to herself did the two old masters who were playing chess realize that Luca was here.

Old Master Crawford was all smiles as he watched Luca sit down. He said, “Luca, what brings you here? Did you purposely come over to visit me because you knew I was here?"

Old Man Rayne immediately waved his hand and said with a straight face, "I've seen my fair share of shameless people, yet I've never met anyone as shameless as you. Of course, Luca came here to visit me. Isn't that right, Luca?"

After saying that, he looked at Luca with all smiles as well.

Luca did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the two old masters behave like mischievous children. She put down the tray in her hands on the coffee table and said, "Old Masters, would you care to try my creations?"

The aroma of the cookies on the coffee table smelled amazing. Old Master Crawford could not help but drool a little. "Luca, of course, I know how good your cooking skills are. That boy, Tommy, thinks about the food you make every day."

Luca froze. The old master's slip-ups might actually reveal some information.

Sure enough, Wanda asked in confusion, "Tommy?"

Old Master Crawford glanced at Luca and realized that he had said too much, but his demeanor remained calm. "Before this, the child threw a tantrum and ran away from home. He happened to be picked up by Luca and she brought him home."

"I didn't even know this happened." Old Man Rayne sat on the sofa with the help of Wanda.

Luca's eyes lit up. "Old Master Rayne, you can walk now."

"That's right. After your treatment, my joints don't hurt that much anymore. I can walk a few steps with Wanda's help. It's all thanks to your medicine, Luca," Old Master Rayne said delightfully. In fact, he had only started trying to walk in the past few days. He had gotten much better compared to before.

He knew that he was getting old and it would be difficult for him to return to his old self, so he was satisfied to even be able to reach this point.

Old Master Crawford sat on the sofa and praised her as well, "Luca is so capable. Let me try this cookie to see if it's really as delicious as they say it is."

While saying that, he picked up a cookie and tasted it.

The cookies were delicious. They were crispy, and they instantly melted in his mouth. They were suitable for elderly people with bad teeth. He gave a huge thumbs up. “Yummy. It's the first time I've had such delicious cookies." "Really? I want to try them too." Old Master Rayne took a piece, and after tasting it, he could not resist reaching for a second one. "They really are delicious."

After seeing how much the two old masters liked the snacks, Wanda placed each of their teacups in front of them and admonished, "Dad, no matter how delicious they are, you can't have too much. You need to control your blood sugar."

"These cookies are better than store-bought ones. You really are good, Luca." Old Man Rayne complimented her and thought of Bianca. That girl used to love making such pastries in the kitchen too.

Luca smiled and said, "Old Man Rayne, you can eat to your heart's content. I've replaced the sugar in the cookies and cupcakes with xylitol, so your blood sugar won't spike after eating it."

She knew that Old Man Rayne still had high blood sugar, so when making them, she specifically rummaged through the cupboards to find xylitol.

"Brilliant. It seems like I can eat my fill today." Old Man Rayne took a sip of tea, while Old Master Crawford had already picked up the cupcake on the side. He took a bite.

Luca listened as he praised her, "It's so good."

Wanda watched as the two old master's minds were no longer on chess but completely on tasting the snacks. She picked up a piece and ate it too.

It was indeed delicious, and it tasted even better than the ones made in bakeries.

Old Man Rayne always had a sweet tooth, and since Luca made these with sugar substitutes, he could have as much as he wanted and still feel at ease.

"Luca, don't just sit there. Come and have some too," said Old Master Crawford after he saw that she had not moved.

Luca nodded and picked up a cookie. She had specifically modified the recipe to make it easier to eat for people with bad teeth.

The four of them sipped tea while eating the snacks Luca made. As Luca listened to the two old masters bicker, happiness emerged in her heart.

Old Master Crawford used to bicker with her grandpa like this too.

This scene was like in the past as if nothing had changed.

On the other hand.

After Nina left the Rayne family's house, she did not run into Jean and Marie. She guessed that they came in a taxi and left in one too.

She got into the car and was about to go to Jean's house.

Before she could even start her car, she received a call from Sue.

"Nina, is the problem solved?" Sue said with concern.

"It's solved for the time being, all thanks to Luca..." Nina's voice was filled with powerlessness.

She really did not know what to do with Jean. If not for Anna, she would rather have Jean be in the detention center to repent and not create trouble for himself and others.

"Luca solved it.." Sue was a little shocked.

Nina briefly relayed the matter to her and said, “It was all thanks to Luca. If not, I would have called the police."

What had she gone through to be willing to have the police arrest her own brother?

Sue comforted her and said, "Well, it's finally settled, so cheer up."

"Sue, have you ever felt that Luca is like a certain someone?" said Nina suddenly. After everything Luca had done, especially when she protected her, Nina would feel as though Luca was someone she was very familiar with.

However, the two people looked different.

"I've always had that feeling but Bianca and Luca are two very different people," said Sue as Luca also reminded her of Bianca.

However, Luca was not Bianca.

"I feel the same way. That feeling is too familiar." Nina sighed and added, "Let's not talk about it now. I'm going to get even with Jean."

"If you're trying to get even with him, be careful. Do you need Percy to accompany you?" Sue was worried that Jean would hurt Nina after everything that happened. Although Jean did not have much involvement with her, she could still tell that Jean was inhumane.

"There's no need to alarm him over such a small matter. Plus, Jean wouldn't dare to lay a finger on me now," Nina was telling the truth. Although Jean was upset with her now, for the sake of his future, he would not dare do anything to hurt her.

The fact that Jean was idle was because he had made up his mind to depend on Percy. The person Percy loved was her, so even if Jean did not care about their kinship, he would still care about Percy.

"Still, be careful. Jean has been brainwashed by Marie, and that woman is a total nutjob. Her dirty tactics have made him repeatedly fall into her hands, which means that she can easily trick people and she holds grudges. You'd better watch out," Sue felt uneasy.

They had all seen what Marie could do.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2160-“Okay, I'll be careful. I'm about to drive, so I'll hang up now," said Nina as she ended the call with Sue and drove to Jean's home.

While waiting for the traffic light, she thought about what Sue said and reconsidered. She decided to send a voice message to Percy to tell him about what just happened and notify him that she was heading over to Jean's place.

Percy did not reply. Nina assumed that he was busy, so she continued driving to Jean's home without sending any more messages.

She parked her car somewhere nearby as Jean currently lived in the Langdon family's old house. The parking spaces would be full if she went any farther, so she could only park her car here and walk inside.

Several motorcycles were parked in front of the house.

Nina frowned. It seemed like not only Jean and Marie were inside but their scoundrel friends too...

However, she could not tell whose friends they were.

Nina took out her keys and opened the door. The sound of an uproar came from the living room.

She walked in with a frown to see several men with vibrantly dyed hair drinking on the sofa. These people did not seem like the type of people that Jean hung out with.

Nina reckoned that they were with Marie.

Jean, that bastard, not only became a mess after being charmed by Marie, but he even let her bring back all these hooligans.

"Where's Jean?" she asked the men.

Their vulgar language came to a stop as they turned to look at Nina. Their leader was a scrawny guy who leered at her. He asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"To get my revenge." Nina crossed her arms in front of her chest as the way these people were looking at her made her uncomfortable.

She could see through these men's cunning expressions at first glance.

"That kid, Jean, is up to something big right now. What did he do to you? We'll let you take it out on us. Why don't you tell us about it?" The leader of the hooligans smiled maliciously. They had seen their fair share of women who made a living on the streets, but it was their first time seeing someone like Nina.

She was quite pretty and had class. He thought to himself, 'Jean, that son of a b*tch, had such a good woman by his side, yet he never introduced her to me.'

Nina knew what he meant by 'up to something', so she frowned and said, "He's in the bedroom, isn't he?"

With that, she walked to the bedroom.

The man grabbed her arm. "Hey, don't bother others when they're up to something. Why? Did he cheat on you? Why not consider being with someone else? My name is Jonny, and I'm the boss of the streets here. Being with me is much better than being with that cheater, Jean."

Nina made a sour face. She looked at the man's hand and yanked her arm away. She was here alone and would be at a disadvantage if she were to lay a finger on him. Otherwise, she would definitely have slapped him across the face.

"Hey, you're a feisty one. Girl, Jean is with Marie now. Although you're better than Marie, he much prefers the playful type. If you come with me, I promise to make you happy for life." Jonny did not get angry as he had been pushed away countless times, but he always got his way in the end. Hence, being humiliated in front of others was not a big deal to him.

"Shut the f*ck up. I'm Jean's sister!" Nina frowned as she pulled out a wet tissue from her bag to wipe where the man touched her.

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!

Nina started to regret her decision. She should have gotten Percy to accompany her or brought along the bodyguards Percy sent.

At least then she would not be taken advantage of nor be at a disadvantage.

"Oh, you're Jean's sister?" Jonny looked Nina up and down. "Jean had such a pretty sister, yet he never told me. Tsk tsk, how ungrateful. What was he hiding you for?"

Nina rolled her eyes and walked straight to the bedroom. She knocked hard on the door. "Jean, get your ass out of here!"

Jonny stepped forward and tried to pull Nina's hand. She noticed it and swiftly dodged. "What are you doing?"

After hearing her angry tone, Jonny chuckled and said, "Why are you ruining your brother's fun time? Come here. Don't be mad. Let's sit down and talk."

"Get out! Get out of my house!" Nina said furiously as she was annoyed by these hooligans.

"Hey, you've got quite a temper, but I like it. You're Jean's sister, right? Why don't you come with me? I'll make sure you'll have a good life." Jonny liked fiery women. The more he looked at her, the more he

liked her.

Nina's voice managed to startle Jean. He hurriedly walked out without even putting his clothes on properly and frowned as he looked at Nina. "Why are you here?"

"I came to fix your crap. Get this gang of friends of yours out of this house, or I won't tolerate it any longer!" Nina said with a frown. The environment here was already pretty shabby in the first place, but these people made it even dirtier.

A once perfect home had been ruined by these people.

"Jean, why did you never introduce me to your beautiful sister? Which man are you trying to exploit?" Jonny accused Jean as if he did not hear Nina's order of eviction.

"No, Jonny, let me explain." Jean could not attend to the woman who was still in the room. He planned to get rid of Nina first, lest she spoiled everything.

“Say no more. Have your sister follow me and I'll give you two a good life. You'll be respected by people on the streets too." Jonny waved his hand and said to Nina, "What do you think? Come with me and I'll take care of you."

Nina saw that his dirty hands were about to caress her face, so she took a step back out of disgust and said, "Go away. If you dare touch me, I'll make you regret it."

Jonny burst out laughing. "Make me regret it? What can you do to make me regret it?"

Jean saw how reckless Jonny acted. If Percy found out that Jonny was hitting on his woman, it would be a miracle if he were able to survive in A City, let alone live on the streets.

"Bro, stop it. She's my sister, my only biological sister," Jean hurriedly said to dissuade Jonny and avoid letting Nina know that he had been abusing his power using Percy's name.

"I know she's your sister. If you let her come with me, wouldn't that make us even closer?" Jonny glanced at his brothers behind him and signaled them to get up.

The man standing beside him remembered something and whispered, "Boss, isn't Jean's sister Percy's woman? The CEO of Mallory Corporation."

"Percy?" Jonny was stunned. There was not a single soul in A City who did not recognize that name, especially gangsters like them.

He looked at Jean with inquiring eyes.

"Yes, Jonny," Jean said resignedly.

Jonny looked at Nina. "Are you really Percy's woman?"
