Ch. 2181..2190

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2181-“Most of what the news articles wrote about me are true." Nina took a deep breath as she was not afraid that Luca would know about her past.

It was because she knew Luca would not do anything to hurt her even if she knew everything.

"Mr. Mallory should already know about your past. He's not making a fuss out because of the news articles, right?" said Luca. Percy knew Nina well, just like her.

"No, he's not. He's been busy handling the matter the whole day. It's still a hot topic on the internet, and it's not because he's not doing anything to stop it. He's planning to find out who was the one to expose the information to the reporters and proceed with the next step." A bitter smile swept across Nina's smile. She agreed with Percy's way of handling the matter.

After all, only a few knew about Nina's past. They should be able to find out who was the mastermind behind all these soon if they were to look into it. After that, they would implement the next plan. That would be the best.

Now, everyone knew about Nina's past, so it did not matter who wrote about her and published it.

"Then why did you..." Luca hesitated. Nina agreed with Percy's way of handling the matter, so there was no need for her to run away from home.

"Percy's parents came to our house. Percy was there too, and he told his parents that he didn't care about my past in front of his parents. He even told them that he'd marry me. Madam Mallory fainted when she heard Percy say so. It was so chaotic. Percy only came back in the evening after sending her to the hospital. He told me to pack my luggage after he came back. He wants to get our marriage certificate abroad." Nina recalled what happened, but there was a hint of desolation in her eyes.

Luca did not know where that came from. Nina had just told her that she wanted to marry Percy last night. Was it not good that Percy suggested bringing her abroad to get their marriage certificate?

"You've wanted to be together with him for ages. You have the chance to spend the rest of your life with him, but you're running away now?" Luca asked in an unbelievable tone.

Nina crossed her legs, let out a deep sigh, and said, "Luca, you have no idea what I want. The marriage I want is the kind of marriage where I can receive everyone's blessing and everyone agrees with it. This is not the right time to get married. The whole world is against it, but he insists on going against the world to be together with me."

Luca understood what Nina meant. Nina ran away for the sake of her future.

If Percy lost Mallory Corporation just because he married Nina, she would regret it even if he would not.

It was just like Jack asking Luca not to marry Luke with the information in his hands back then. She wanted to be together with Luke at that time. She chose to bear the pain no matter how heartbroken she was at the thought of Luke possibly facing imprisonment after he got together with her. That was why she rejected him at the ceremony.

She did it merely for Luke's sake.

It was the same as what Nina was doing now.

“His family made it clear that if Percy insisted on marrying me, he'd lose a seat at the table in the Mallory family. Although he told me that he'd be fine without Mallory Corporation and he can't live without me by his side, it's still a fact that Percy was born with a silver spoon. He's capable, but it'll be difficult for him if he loses the support of the Mallory family. Perhaps he'll regret choosing me one day in the future. That's why I want to get the Mallory family's permission and support before we get married rather than make him lose everything he has just because we want to get married." Nina added.

"Did the two of you fight?" Luca continued.

"It's not really a fight. He's too stubborn now. He said we should head to New York and sign the marriage certificate immediately. I didn't want to do so, so I came out. I didn't bring anything with me when I came out. That's when you came into my mind..." said Nina. She had been choosing between Sue and Luca regarding who she should ask for help. She eventually chose Luca.

After all, Sue was quite confused now.

"You should've informed me at the first moment. It's not a good idea to run away from home without putting on enough garments and not bringing your ID along with you. What would Mr. Mallory do if anything had happened to you?" Luca shook her head, stood up, and cleaned the table. "Spend the night here tonight. You can stay here tomorrow if you don't feel like going back yet. No one knows you're here, after all. No one will disturb you."

"Really? I'm allowed to stay here?" Nina was worried that she would disturb Luca.

"Yes. For as long as you wish." Luca assured her. She pondered for a moment, turned around, and added, "But you have to tell Mr. Mallory your whereabouts so that he doesn't have to worry about you. He's not the one who exposed your past to the press this time. The two of you have different perspectives on marriage. You'll have to face him after this ends. Talk to him when the time comes."

"Okay. I will. Thank you, Luca." Nina looked at Luca with gratitude.

Luca smiled and replied, "Wait for me to clean this up. Then let's go upstairs."

"Okay." Nina nodded. She picked up her phone after Luca walked into the kitchen. There were more than ten missed calls and a bunch of unread messages. Nina did not return the calls, nor did she read those messages. She knew Percy was talking about everything they had talked about before.

Nina sent him a message: [I'm at Luca's place. Don't worry. I'm not going back for now. The reporters at the door are annoying.]

She turned off her phone after sending the message.

The reporters saw Madam Mallory going to Percy's villa and making a scene there.

After that, Madam Mallory fainted and she was sent to the hospital. Nina had no idea how the reporters found out about it, but it was being reported on the news now.

Speaking of this, Nina thought the reporters were good at investigating and finding out what had happened. Even the private detectives were not as good as them. If it were not for her running away from the villa at night and there being no reporters waiting outside at the time, Nina would not have been able to get out of the villa.

Fortunately, Madam Mallory was okay. She was only suffering from hypertension, and she fainted because she did not take her medicine on time.

Nina let out a sigh of relief after knowing that she was fine. If anything happened to Madam Mallory because of her, she would not know how to face Percy.

Luca placed the snacks back where they were. She did this to prevent the kids from being greedy and eating too many snacks. She cleaned the glass and walked out of the kitchen, then she asked, "Have you told Mr. Mallory?"

“Yeah. He knows I'm here.” Nina rose to her feet.

Luca nodded and replied, “Come on. Let's go upstairs. I'm going to find you a set of pajamas. Take a shower and get some rest. Stop overthinking."

"Yes. Thank you for letting me stay." Nina blinked her eyes at Luca. Although she had a lot on her mind now, she was surprisingly relieved when she was facing Luca.

It was like she was facing someone she had known for ages. Nina could not help but share her thoughts and troubles with her. She was comforted at the same time.

Luca brought Nina up to the second floor and reminded her, "Lanie and the others are asleep."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2182-Nina nodded and said in a soft voice, “Okay. I’ll be quiet."

The two of them walked into the bedroom one after another.

Luca opened the closet and took a new set of pajamas and underwear. "Your figure is almost the same as mine. These are new. Hurry up and take a shower."

“Thank you." Nina sniffed and took the clothes that Luca handed to her.

Something came across Luca’s mind, and she said, "Hold on. Let me get you a set of new towels and toiletries."

Luca walked out of the bedroom and headed to the storeroom to get a new set of toiletries and towels. Aunt Neile had prepared all these.

Luca returned to the bedroom and handed everything to Nina. She said, "Off you go. You can use the shower gel, shampoo, and skincare products in the bathroom."

"Luca, there’s no doubt I’d fall in love with you if you were a man," Nina playfully joked with her.

Luca was amused by Nina's joke and pretended to be serious as she said, "No way. I'm not going to fight over a woman with Mr. Mallory. I'm sure I'll lose."

"Hey, stop teasing me." Nina pouted, turned around, and walked into the bathroom.

Luca sat beside the bed and glanced at her phone. It was already midnight...

There were still no messages from Luke.

Was he mad at her?

Langdon’s house.

Marie was in a good mood. She was humming a song while she strolled into the living room. Then, she frowned when she saw Jean sitting on the sofa. She asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Where have you been?" Jean crossed his arms in front of his chest with a gloomy look on his face.

"My friend asked me out. That’s why I went out. Why? Can’t you sleep without my company?" Marie sat down beside him and leaned on his shoulder, giving him a flirtatious look.

Jean pushed Marie away in disgust and asked, "You went out? Did your friend ask you to head to the bar and get a few drinks?"

The look on Marie's face changed at once. She even went to the hotel to take a shower to remove the alcohol smell on her before she went back to prevent Jean from finding out that she went drinking.

"Huh? Can't we go to the bar to talk?" Marie refuted without denying that she went to the bar.

“What were you and your friend talking about?” Jean looked at her sideways.

“Just the same old. Women are always upset about men and money. I was just comforting her and we had a few drinks together.” Marie thought Jean said something like that because of the alcohol smell on her.

“Hah, Marie, is it so hard to admit that you've been messing around?" Jean's expression was sulky. Did she really think that Jean had no idea about it?

Marie was released from prison a little earlier than he was, but he knew as much as she did.

The look on Marie's face turned gloomy at once. She said, “What do you mean? I was just out having a few drinks with my friend, so how was I messing around with someone else? Besides, I don't have any

money to go to the bar. My friend was the one who gave me the money."

“Are you really broke?" Jean forcefully grabbed her wrist and gave her a menacing look.

“I'm broke." Marie frowned. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Jean was too strong.

“You're broke? Where did you get the money to expose her, then? Why? Have you splurged the money on drinking at the bar? Or did you give it to some boy toy you're messing with?" Jean questioned her. Marie stopped struggling. She avoided his gaze the moment their eyes met each other. Then, she said, “What are you talking about? The press?"

“Do you think I have no idea about this? Nina made the headlines today. Everything about her past was written in the news article. Aren't you the one who told the press about it?" Jean looked at her with a hideous expression on his face. “I have evidence. Marie Rayne, be honest and don't make me do it the hard way."

Marie did not expect Jean to know about this.

Marie was humiliated when Nina treated her that way back then. Marie was so mad that she looked for the press and revealed Nina's past. She received a sum of money for revealing Nina's secrets.

However, Marie did it in secret. She disguised herself when she went to meet the press. Also, she did not tell the press who she was, and she received cash from them. Therefore, the press would not have known who she was.

How did Jean find out about that?

“Why? Did you think you did everything perfectly and nobody would've found out about it?" Jean narrowed his eyes, lifted his hand, and slapped her in the face. “Marie Rayne, ruining Nina's plans means ruining my future life. What the hell were you thinking?"

Marie fell on the sofa due to the strong impact. There was blood flowing out of the corner of her lips.

Jean did not have any sympathy for her. There was no doubt that what Marie did had destroyed Nina's hope of getting into the Mallory family. Jean was not thinking straight now, and all he thought of was beating the woman in front of him to death.

“I'm going to beat the sh*t out of you!" Jean lifted his hand, and he was about to punch Marie.

"Don't you dare! Jean, if you dare to touch me, I'll tell the press more about Nina, including stuff about you. The Mallory family already can't accept her. Is there any chance for Nina to turn things around if you're exposed as well?" Marie raised her voice and warned him.

A person like Nina having such a miserable past would be an embarrassment for wealthy families like the Mallory family. They should have known about it, but no one was writing anything about it. That was why the Mallory family did not have so many excuses to stand against Percy's relationship with her even if Percy insisted on being together with Nina.

Now, Nina's past was a scandal that had made the Mallory family a laughing stock in A City. Jean's past was also part of Nina's scandalous past. If Marie revealed this to the press, Nina's dream of marrying into a wealthy family would be ruined.

Jean's hand stiffened and stopped in the air, “Marie Rayne, you just don't know when to stop, huh?!"

"Jean, look at how naive you are." Marie sneered and stood up. She would have slapped him in the face twice if she had somewhere else to live now.

Jean frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Do you think you'll gain any benefits after Nina gets married to Percy even if I didn't expose her?" Marie provoked him by mentioning the relationship between Jean and Nina. The brother and sister had

always been in a toxic sibling relationship. Jean would not deal with Marie as long as she continued to provoke him.

"I'm her brother. No matter how bad our relationship was, she'll still care about me when I'm broke and starving. And Percy won't let Nina, that b*tch, be caught in the middle," replied Jean. He had his own motives for wanting Nina to become the young mistress of the Mallory family. Percy would have to take care of her, after all.

"That's what I mean by calling you naive. Look, Nina has Percy backing her up, but how is she treating you and your mother now? You're almost broke, and she's not giving you any money. She even stopped you from going to the Rayne family's house. And your mother, she wants to stay in a quiet ward. These are simple things that she could do for you and your mother. But where is she now? She's being stingy and doesn't care about you. Do you think things will get better after she's married to Percy? Don't be silly. It's not like she's obsessed with her brother." Marie snickered.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2183-Even if she succeeds in becoming the Mallory family's young mistress, you're not her. Although both of you were born to the same mother, what's the point of defending her now when your futures are going to be worlds apart? Jean, wake up! Her good life has nothing to do with you. So, you should drag her down instead of seeing her marry rich. She wants to get rid of you to live a luxurious life, so you can't let her wish come true!" Marie continued to provoke him after seeing him remain silent.

Jean frowned and looked at Marie.

She had a point.

Judging from how Nina currently acted, he would not have anything to do with her after she became rich.

She could not be counted on in the future.

At the end of the day, he could only count on himself. If he had to watch Nina live a good life while he lived a miserable one, he might as well do as Marie said and drag her down.

The change in Jean's expression caught Marie's eyes. She said, "Am I right? The press pays generously. Aren't you short of money recently? Whatever dirt you have on Nina may benefit you greatly if you cooperate with the reporters."

Jean lifted his arm and immediately cupped her chin.

"Why are you doing this to Nina?" Jean questioned as they had agreed to take advantage of Nina by being close to her, but now, Marie wished to take advantage of Nina.

"I... I'm just angry. I can't stand seeing her treat you like this." Marie tilted her head and tried to break free from his hand, but it was to no avail as he was tightly grabbing her jaw.

She never intended to confront Nina. She just wanted to rely on this fool, Jean, to take advantage of her.

However, Nina had humiliated her, which planted the idea of revenge in her mind.

Plus, she got it all figured out.

Jean had nothing but this house and the insurance he would get after Anna's death.

Thus, she did not actually hope for Nina to be nice to Jean. In fact, the reason why she was still with Jean was that she needed a place to stay.

Not to mention, she wanted to obtain this house too.

Although it was an old house, it was still worth a lot of money in a city like A City where the land value was extremely high.

Marie was waiting for the chance to get hold of this house.

Jean obviously did not believe the nonsense she was spouting. If it were not for the fact that he had no money or women right now, he would not be with a woman like Marie. She was like a poisonous snake, watching his every move.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you dare talk nonsense to the reporters again, I'll pull your tongue out," he threatened her viciously. It was not because he wanted to defend Nina, but it was for his own good.

"You... Let go of me first." Marie furrowed her brows as his grip was too strong.

Jean grunted and let go.

Marie immediately took a few steps back to avoid getting choked again.

"You're destined to get nothing, but you're still defending her? Are you stupid?" She stared at him in bewilderment. novelbin

Jean sneered as she did not know that he was defending himself.

"If I ever find out that you're causing trouble behind my back again, you'll be sleeping on the streets," Jean warned her. She had no place to live, so her biggest fear right now was getting kicked out.

Even if she had a lot of money from selling information to the reporters, she would soon run out of funds if she had to live on the streets without a job.

"I did such things all because of you, yet you don't appreciate it. Don't bite the hand that feeds you," muttered Marie.

Jean stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.

Marie was stunned. "Pretend you didn't hear that."

Jean still walked up to her and looked down at her. "Where's the money you got for selling out Nina?"

"It's all gone." Marie immediately shook her head when he mentioned money.

"Gone?" Jean narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"There was quite some money as the press was generous, but my friend asked to borrow my money. She saw how much I had, and it would be embarrassing not to lend it to her, so I did," Marie lied.

Jean sneered. "You? Lending money to other people? That's not your style."

All this while, Marie had only borrowed from others. She never lent anyone any money.

"There's a first time for everything, and that close friend of mine had an emergency. How could I do nothing about it?" Marie felt that Jean's gaze was too eerie as if he could see through her.

Jean used to be a blockhead who was manipulated by her, so how could he have changed?

"Others may change, but you won't." Jean raised his hand and placed it on her neck, then his hand slowly moved downward.

Before Marie could even react, the money was pulled out by Jean.

Jean waved around the thick stack of money as a smile appeared on his face. "You haven't changed at all. This stack of money is quite thick. It seems like Nina's information was worth a lot."

Marie's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to grab the money. "Give me the money."

"In your dreams." Jean pocketed the money with no intention of giving it to her.

"That's my money!" Marie's eyes were red when she saw the money. She could have splurged for a good amount of time with that money, but it was snatched away by Jean, which made her anxious.

“Your money? This is the money you got from selling Nina's information. Since you didn't deposit such a thick stack of money in the bank, you must be afraid that Percy's people would find out and you'd land yourself in serious trouble when he decides to take revenge on you." Jean stared at her menacingly.

Marie paused as that was indeed the case.

"So what? The money came to me. It's my money!" Marie did not have the patience to persuade him as she wanted to grab it.

"Since the money is in my hands now, it's mine. Marie, you eat what's mine and live in my house. Shouldn't you pay me? If you want this money, you can have it. I'll just tell Percy that you were the one who spilled the beans to the reporters. Do you still want it?"

Marie hesitated.

Jean sneered. "The money belongs to me now."

"Then what about me?" Marie's face and eyes turned red as she was obviously infuriated by the scoundrel.

"As long as you're with me, how can I treat you badly? If you behave and don't make me angry, I'll basically be forced to take care of you." Jean sat on the couch and started counting the money in front of her.

Marie bit her lip in aggrievement. She should not have come back.

The money was enough for her to spend a good amount of time outside.

After Jean was done counting the money, he put it in his pocket with satisfaction. He saw how angry Marie looked while standing there as she dared not say a word. He said, "What? There should've been more, but you spent a chunk of it to treat those hooligan friends of yours to a meal, didn't you? How about I give you another ten?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2184-Marie was filled with resentment as she saw him hold up the ten dollars.

“You don't want it? I'll take it back then." Jean saw that she did not move and was about to take back the money until she swiftly snatched it from him.

Jean smiled contemptuously.

"It's not enough," said Marie as she held out her hand.

"If ten dollars is not enough, how much do you want?" Jean frowned and was obviously unwilling to give her too much.

"Even if you're covering the costs of my stay, what about my food and daily transportation expenses? You can't leave me empty-handed. Even if I were to stay at home, I'd need money to order takeout too," said Marie.

"How troublesome." Jean took out his wallet and handed her a public transport card.

"This is..." Marie looked at the public transport card and frowned as the card could only be used for rides and not for consumption. Plus, who even took public transport nowadays?

"There are ten dollars on the card. You can take the subway when you go out. It'll last you a few months," Jean said lazily.

Marie looked at his gracious expression as he handed her the public transport card with ten dollars in it. That was it?

"My friends don't even take the subway anymore, and now you're making me take the subway? You have so much money in your hand. Can't you give me some? It's not like we eat together every day," she said with dissatisfaction.

"You don't want this?" Jean got a little impatient listening to her babble on.

If she had not gotten so much money, he would have thrown her out long ago.

After hearing that, Marie took the public transport card without hesitation as she still had to get around. Although she could not get a taxi, she could not walk everywhere either, right?

Jean looked at her and smiled scornfully, expressing his disdain toward her.

"Here's another 50 dollars. It'll cover your food costs for a week. If you don't treat others, it might even last you two weeks." He drew out 50 dollars worth of bills and placed them on the coffee table. Then, he stood up and stretched.

Marie stared at his back as he walked into the room. Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stabbed the man in front of her a thousand times with her deathly stare.

She picked up the money on the coffee table and stared nastily at the 60 dollars in her hands, including the public transport card.

She had a great future ahead of her, but she became down and out because of Bianca.

Other than her, everyone else in the Rayne family was living a carefree life. Meanwhile, she was here living a life that even animals would not want to live.

Marie looked at the dollar bills in her hand and swore to herself that she would not let the Rayne family live a good life!

The next day.

When Luca woke up, Nina was still asleep.

She got up quietly and walked into the bathroom. She closed the door lightly and started to wash up.

After Nina washed up yesterday, she tossed and turned as she could not fall asleep. Luca was worried that it would affect her health if this persisted long-term, so she gave Nina the sleeping pills she used.

After taking the pills, Nina fell into a deep sleep half an hour later and had not woken up since.

After washing up, Luca saw that Nina was still asleep. She thought of having Aunt Neile tidy up the guest room for Nina to sleep in as she was not used to having someone other than Luke sleep beside her.

She did not know why either.

After Nina fell asleep yesterday, Luca also took a pill to fall asleep.

Luca went downstairs and noticed that the children were still asleep while Aunt Neile was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

She went into the kitchen and put on an apron to help Aunt Neile out. She said, “By the way, Aunt Neile, my friend came to spend the night yesterday and she might be staying here for a while. Can you please tidy up the guest room after breakfast?"

"Friend? Ms. Craw, is that friend of yours a man or a woman?" Aunt Neile looked at her dumbfounded.

"What are you asking that for?" Luca looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that the color of the sheets and bedding I prepare will be different if it's a female guest so that their stay would be more comfortable. As you know, women require more things than men. I'd need to prepare everything. There's not much stock left in the storage room, so I'd need to see what's lacking and buy them at the supermarket later," Aunt Neile explained immediately. She only asked in detail to report to Luke.

It would be okay if it were a female guest, but if it were a male guest...

Luke would probably be upset.

"It's a female guest, but there's no need to prepare too much. Just the daily essentials will do. You can ask her if she needs anything else when she wakes up as it's not convenient for her to go out right now, so you need to help her get some daily supplies," said Luca.

Aunt Neile breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was a female guest. It was a good thing Luca did not bring a man back home. Otherwise, it would not end well when Luke found out.

Luca did not pay attention to Aunt Neile's expression and focused on preparing breakfast.

After breakfast was ready, the children woke up.

Rainie saw Luca preparing breakfast and looked puzzled. “Ms. Luca, you're awake?"

“Yes, I woke up earlier today. Come over and have breakfast," Luca greeted her. She had prepared a hearty breakfast today. She put the bowls of oatmeal in front of each seat.

“Then, who's that sleeping in your room..." Rainie was terrified, and her little face went pale. She had peeked into Luca's room before coming down earlier.

She saw someone sleeping on the bed and thought that Luca was still asleep, so she did not wake her up.

Luca hurriedly explained after seeing the child's shocked expression, “That's Nina. She came over last night."

Rainie heaved a sigh of relief as she was shocked by that scene just now. “So it was Ms. Nina. Why is she."

“Shh. Ms. Nina encountered some problems and needs to stay here for the time being. Is that okay?" Luca consulted the three kids.

Although she asked for their consent, she knew that the children would definitely agree.

Nina had always been nice to them since they were little, especially Tommy, who got pampered by Nina. Hence, the three kids were very fond of her. They would not have a problem with it.

“Of course," the three children said in unison.

“I love Ms. Nina," said Tommy.

As soon as he said that, Nina's voice came from the dining room door. “Who loves me?"

The three children turned around to see Nina walk in. They smiled. “Good morning, Ms. Nina."

“Good morning." Nina was put in a good mood when she saw the smiling faces of the three kids.

Luca pointed to the seat next to her and said, “Since you're up, let's have breakfast together."

Nina sat on the chair and apologized to Luca. “I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I must've overslept."

“Ms, Nina, we just sat down as well," Tommy scrambled to say.

Nina made a heart gesture to him and looked at Luca. “Why didn't you wake me up?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2185-“You didn't have to get up early. Besides, sleeping a little longer is good for you." Luca served her a bowl of oats.

Nina smiled and said, "It smells so good. Would I still have gotten such a hearty and delicious breakfast if I had continued to sleep?"

Aunt Neile stood aside and smiled. "Ms. Nina, the breakfast reserved for you is still in the kitchen. Since you're awake, I'll bring it out right now."

"Thank you," thanked Nina.

Luca placed a bun on her plate using tongs and said, "That's Aunt Neile, the maid who works here. Tell her if you need anything, and try not to go out during this period of time. If you really have to go out, there are cars in the garage. You can ask Aunt Neile for the keys."

"The cars in the garage belong to Mr. Crawford, right?" Nina took a bite out of the bun and immediately gave Luca a thumbs up. It was delicious.

"They're Mr. Crawford's, but it doesn't matter," said Luca as Mr. Crawford had mentioned that if she wanted to drive, she could drive those cars anytime. He would not mind.

However, she still had not used his cars as they were expensive. Her driving skills were subpar. If she were to accidentally bump or hit something, she would be in trouble.

Moreover, those cars were too eye-catching. She might be surrounded by onlookers if she were to drive them out.

Luca preferred to keep a low profile.

"We can talk about that later. I guess I'll just be a coward and stay here for the next few days, but I can be responsible for picking up and dropping off these three cute little kids." Nina winked at the three kids.

"They don't need your help. Uncle Zander is usually responsible for that. He's outside right now," said Luca while glancing at the kids.

The kids ate breakfast a little slower as they were listening to their conversation, so Luca reminded them, "Pick up the pace and go to school once you're done or you'll be late."

The three children hastened their movements.

Nina was amused by the children's actions.

Aunt Neile came out with breakfast and placed it on the table. "Ms. Nina, enjoy your meal."

"Aunt Neile, the breakfast you made tastes great." Nina gave Aunt Neile a thumbs up as she thought that all these were prepared by Aunt Neile.

Aunt Neile shook her head and smiled. "Ms. Nina, most of these were prepared by Ms. Craw. I was just assisting her."

Nina widened her eyes and looked at Luca. "You're amazing, Luca."

"No, I'm not. Hurry up and eat," said Luca as she gave Tommy another bun. "Here, have more."

"Ms. Luca, the buns are delicious. You're amazing," Tommy complimented her as well.

Luca smiled and finished breakfast with the children.

After breakfast, the children went to school with their backpacks. Luca watched them leave before withdrawing her gaze to see Nina's inquisitive look.

"What's wrong?" Luca asked while putting on her jacket to get ready for work.

"You looked like a loving mother who was sending her children off to school," Nina said what she felt as Bianca used to be that way.

After watching Lanie and Rainie get in the car, Bianca would usually go back to minding her own business. If she was not busy, she would even take the kids to school herself.

At that time, Nina envied the life Bianca had.

She still remembered it to this day.

Luca chuckled without answering her directly and just said, "The children are so cute. You stay here. I'll go to work."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Nina watched Luca go out and was a little envious.

She admired professional women like Luca. Although she had her own career, she would never make it as far as Luca.

If Bianca had not invited her to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, perhaps she would have had to rely on Percy to find a job or just be a mere employee of T Corporation.

She would not get far either way.

Moreover, she used to not have a stable job because of Percy. Now that she finally had a steady job, things like this happened. She could not even enter the company.

Plus, to stop the reporters from asking more about her, Sue had to play bad cop and stop the people at the company from spouting nonsense to the reporters. If she found out that they had done so, they would be fired.

Nina sighed. Percy was not the only one in her life. She also had these close friends who were worried about her and willing to go out of their way for her. novelbin

It seemed like the hardships she faced in the past were not enough for fate to favor her, so now, fate was playing a joke on her again.

The more Nina thought about it, the more despondent she became.

"Ms. Nina, what are you thinking about?" After Aunt Neile finished tidying up the kitchen, she walked out and saw Nina stare out the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked to be in low spirits.

"Nothing much." Nina came back to her senses and saw a bag in Aunt Neile's hands, so she asked, "Aunt Neile, are you going grocery shopping?"

“Yes, and by the way, Ms. Craw informed me that you can tell me if you need anything. I'll help you buy it at the supermarket," said Aunt Neile to avoid making two trips.

"I'll go with you." Nina did not have any of her personal belongings, and she could not keep on using Luca's things.

Although she and Luca had similar body types, Luca was a little more voluptuous than her, so her clothes would not fit her very well.

Aunt Neile recognized her at first glance and said, "Ms. Nina, you're the talk of the town. If you go out, you'll be recognized. I don't mean anything else, but it's better for you to stay in the villa."

Nina was taken aback and smiled bitterly. "You're right. Celebrities like living in this area, and there are many reporters here too. In that case, I need to trouble you to buy some clothes..."

"Okay, no problem. Just give me your size. However, there's one issue. You might not like the clothes I pick as my taste is a little old-fashioned. I hope you don't mind," said Aunt Neile.

"I don't mind as long as I can wear it." Nina texted Aunt Neile her size and measurements.

She had intended to ask Sue for help, but since Aunt Neile was here to help, she would not need to trouble Sue anymore.

After Aunt Neile received Nina's list, she nodded and said, "I've received your message. By the way, is there anything you want to eat for lunch?"

"Nope. In fact, you don't have to prepare lunch. I'm still very full from breakfast." Nina touched her stomach. Luca's cooking was too good!

"How can I not?" Aunt Neile shook her head. "I'll decide on what to make for lunch. Well then, I'll be heading out first. Just call me if there's anything."

"Alright, stay safe." Nina smiled and waved at her.

After Aunt Neile left, she was the only one left in the huge villa.

Nina picked up her phone and took a deep breath. She then opened a website and looked at the eyecatching headlines, only to see that they were all related to her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2186-Although she told other people that she was okay, Nina did in fact mind it.

She frowned as she saw those disgusting comments and could only sigh. She did not even have to strength to speak up for herself in the comments section.

Nina tossed her phone aside and rested her head in her hands.

If someone were to see her in her current state, they would definitely know that she had been defeated by those comments on the internet.

If she knew who was the one that made her so miserable, she would not let them get away with it.

Her phone rang.

She glanced at the screen to see that it was a call from Percy.

She knew that if she did not answer, Percy would keep calling her, so she had no choice but to pick up.

"Don't you have to work?" Nina did not ask why he called as even the stupidest person would know what he called her for.

"I'm worried about you. Are you okay?" Percy's voice was hoarse.

Nina frowned because of his hoarse voice. Did he drink a lot?

"I'm doing fine here. Which other place would be safe if even Luke's villa isn't? Have you been drinking?" Nina asked.

"Yes, I drank a little." After Percy finished speaking, there was almost a minute of silence. Nina did not speak because she knew that he still had something to say.

"Nina, come back. I'll never force you to do something you don't want to do again," he said. He had thought about it all night. He decided to follow her advice because he wanted to be with Nina very much.

Although it was hard to get the Mallory family to agree, it was not impossible. He was confident.

"Percy, if I go back, won't it be a hassle to confront all the reporters at the door? I want to stay here for a while, at least until the investigation is done. I'll go back after that. Luke is out of town anyway, so it's not uncomfortable here," said Nina as she thought that staying here was not bad.

Although her imagination would still run wild, at least she would not be surrounded by reporters if she were to go out.

Moreover, Luca and the three kids were here. She would be surrounded by people.

Percy was silent, and when he opened his mouth again, his voice was full of despondence. “Nina, are you still angry with me?" "I'm not. I really do think that way. Plus, your parents and family won't come here to look for me." Nina said the truth.

When the Mallory family came to her door to chase her away yesterday, she was terrified.

Percy was there to protect her at that time. However, if he was not there during that fight, she may have already been driven out by the Mallory family when there were still a bunch of reporters waiting outside the door.

At that moment, Nina thought that if she actually got kicked out, she would have nowhere to go.

She and Jean had a falling out, so if she were chased out, she would not have anywhere to stay. She would have to sleep at a hotel.

Except, how could a hotel be a home?

At that moment, Nina realized how insignificant she was if she was separated from Percy.

She also understood why Bianca insisted on opening the company a few years ago.

It was to give herself an extra edge.

"Percy, I'm doing well here. There are even three little kids keeping me company here. You know that what I need most right now are peace and quiet. I won't have any peaceful days if I go back," Nina added. She had a hunch that the Mallory family would continue harassing her if she went back.

Yesterday, Madam Mallory got so angry she was admitted to the hospital. There was no telling who would go looking for her next.

Whoever it was, if they got angry enough to be admitted to the hospital because of Percy's persistence, then Percy would need to carry the title of a bad son. It would ruin his reputation.

Although she already had a lot on her shoulders and one more thing to deal with would not make a difference, this was Percy's family they were talking about. She did not want Percy to reach a deadlock with them.

Percy took a deep breath and sighed. "Alright, you stay there for the time being. Tell me if you need anything. I'll have Joanne send it over to you."

"Can you have Joanne send some of my clothes over? I only have Luca's clothes to wear right now..." said Nina.

"Okay, I'll ask her to send them over. Call me if anything happens, and don't hide anything from me, okay?" Percy had to compromise as she was right about some things. Even if the reporters could not get to her, the Mallory family could.

However, his family would not dare go to Luke's house to cause Nina trouble.

"Don't worry about me. Just go about your own business. I'm doing great here," Nina reassured him.

"Alright. I've found the source of the report. You can rest assured that there'll be results soon," said Percy.

"Alright." Nina smiled bitterly without letting Percy notice how she felt.

So what if he found the source? Everything reported in the news was true. Her past was hideous, and Percy deserved better.

She could not change the past, but she could not let go of him either. After all these years, her love for Percy had grown so deep it had already seeped into her bones.

However, her past was like scars reminding her that they were real and they existed.

When the healed scars opened up again, all bloody for others to see, Nina realized that her scars had never completely healed. She still could not face her past head-on.

Percy was the medicine that cured her and made her ignore the things in her past... novelbin

After hanging up the phone, Nina forced a smile and nestled herself on the sofa. She looked out the window to see the snowstorm. It was just like the silent storm that was going on in her heart.

Luca was busy all day at the company. She did not call Nina, but she had asked Aunt Neile to find out how she was doing.

Nina's condition was quite good, although she would often be in a daze. Even so, she did not cry.

Luca did not work overtime and went straight back to the villa after getting off work.

She walked into the living room to see Nina sitting on the sofa, seemingly teaching the kids their homework.

"I'm back," said Luca.

Nina turned her head and smiled when she saw her. "You're back."

"Yup." Luca nodded as she took off her coat and placed her briefcase aside.

When the three children saw Luca, they all greeted her, "Ms. Luca, you're back."

"Yes, are you all doing homework?" Luca walked over to see that they were indeed doing their homework.

The children nodded and went back to burying their heads in their books.

"What about you?" Luca smiled and looked at Nina who seemed calm, just as Aunt Neile had said.

"I was trying to guide them in their homework, but they don't need me at all." Nina shrugged resignedly.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2187-"Pfft." Luca looked at how helpless Nina was and laughed.

Tommy shook his head and deliberately lowered his voice, "Ms. Nina, it's not like our homework is difficult."

"I know it's not difficult, but you all... I can only say that you're too smart. There's no need for me to get involved." Nina sighed.

"Yeah, they don't need tutoring, but they need someone to check their homework later. Nina, I'll go help Aunt Neile in the kitchen. Can you check the kid's homework later?" said Luca.

"Alright, I'll promise to get the job done." Nina gave her an OK gesture.

Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Tommy whispered, "Great, we'll have good food again tonight."

Nina listened to the child and patted his head. She said, "Aunt Neile's cooking is also very good."

"But Ms. Luca's tastes even better!" Tommy handed his finished homework to Nina. "Ms. Nina, I'm done. Check it, please."

Nina was glad. She finally had something to do. She took the workbook and checked it while saying, "Do I need to sign at the back of the workbook?"

"Let Ms. Luca do it. She can imitate Daddy's handwriting," said Tommy as he picked up a cookie to eat.

Nina raised her eyebrows. "She can do that?"

"Yes, Ms. Luca is awesome," Tommy said with admiration.novelbin

Nina laughed and shook her head. It was not unusual for a child to adore adults, but it was unusual for a child to adore someone other than their parents.

Nina finished checking his homework. Lanie and Rainie finished theirs at the same time, so she helped check theirs too. At that moment, Luca and Aunt Neile had finished preparing dinner.

At the dinner table, Luca asked Nina, "Did you ask Aunt Neile to prepare the daily essentials for you?"

Yes, they're all prepared, and.." Nina got a piece of meat and said, "Percy called today. I said I want to stay here to clear my mind for a while. He got Joanne to send over some clothes and skincare products, so I don't really lack anything."

Luca was surprised. "Mr. Mallory agreed?"

Percy used to want to cling to Nina all the time. Even if they disagreed on the matter of marriage, it was not to the extent that he would agree to have Nina here.

"He's busy right now and can't protect me all the time. Ironically, this place is safer than his house or a hotel. Even if the Mallory family wants to make trouble, they'll still show some respect to Luke. They won't come over," she explained to her while forcing a smile.

Luca instantly understood and nodded. Old Master Mallory was already guilty after everything Percy had done. Moreover, the Mallory family and the Crawford family had a good relationship. No matter how much noise the Mallory family made, they would not come here.

Tommy listened to the adults talk and could not help but give a thumbs up while praising, "Daddy is awesome!"

Luca laughed and shook her head.

Nina patted Tommy's head and asked, "Yes, your father is awesome. What do you want to eat? Ms. Nina will get some for you."

"Ms. Nina, I'll get it myself. I'm not a little kid anymore! I can eat by myself. I don't need any help, just like my brother and sister!" Tommy said while standing up to get a piece of meat.

"Why are Luke's children all so obedient? It's no fun." Nina pouted and complained when she was in fact just livening up the atmosphere.

"Let's eat," said Luca. The children had matured a lot during the years she was not around them.

Lanie's nature was even colder, while Rainie became even more gentle and understanding. On the other hand, Tommy was still cheeky, but he had learned a lot of things. He had become more independent now instead of always relying on her.

After dinner.

Luca imitated Luke's signature and signed the back of the kids' workbooks.

Nina looked at her signature and was secretly surprised.

She had taken important documents for Luke to sign before, so she was familiar with his signature. At first glance, Luca's signature was exactly the same as Luke's.

After Luca finished signing, she told them to put the books back in their school bags.

Then, it was time for the kids to watch cartoons.

Luca did not accompany them this time. She went upstairs to do experiments after telling them.

Nina was curious, so she followed her into the research room.

After seeing all the experimental instruments, she could not help but say, "Goodness, there are so many instruments. This can already be considered a small laboratory, right?"

"I prepared all of these myself. I would usually do some research here. The medicine you had yesterday and the medicine I usually carry with me were all made with the equipment here," explained Luca.

"How brilliant!" Nina looked at Luca with deep admiration in her eyes.

She did not know much about pharmaceuticals, but after seeing Luca's private lab, she thought that there was definitely more advanced equipment at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, which made her respect Luca.

She could even do such complex research here.

"It's nothing." Luca took out an experimental sample from the small fridge.

Nina asked curiously, "What are you researching right now? Is it the drug you've been working on?"

“No, that drug can only be researched at the company and can't be brought out. I'm just researching some drugs on my own. They're not rigorous drugs because they didn't go through clinical trials. They're usually just for personal use, and if they're effective, I'll give them to the people around me."

"That's amazing," Nina exclaimed.

Luca had no intention of having Nina leave. She was allowed to be here if she was curious. Besides, she was not a kid who might accidentally destroy her research.

Knock, knock. There were knocks on the door after Luca just sat down, and Aunt Neile's voice was heard. "Ms. Craw, are you there?"

"I'm here. Come in." Luca glanced at the time. Aunt Neile should be getting off work at this hour.

Aunt Neile pushed the door open and came in with a ghastly look on her face. "Ms. Craw, this is bad..."

Luca furrowed her brows instantly. "What's wrong?"

"People from the Mallory family are at the entrance. They said they want to see Ms. Nina.." said Aunt Neile as she glanced at Nina.

Luca frowned. The Mallory family really came?

As soon as Nina heard that, her face turned pale. She turned to Luca and apologized, "I'm sorry, Luca. I didn't know.."

"It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." Luca's face was stern. The Mallory family was here. If she did not let them in, they would cause a scene. If she let them in, Nina would have a hard time.

"They're insisting on coming in, aren't they?" asked Luca.

"I just talked to them. I didn't mention that Ms. Nina's here, nor did I admit that she's here. However, they're very sure that she is, so they asked me to open the door," Aunt Neile said helplessly. Facing the overbearing Mallory family was not something a maid like her could handle.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2188-"Okay, got it. How did they know Nina was here?" Luca's expression was stern. It seemed that the Mallory family was dead serious about wanting Nina to leave Percy.

However, how was Nina at fault?

She did not cause the misfortune that came upon her blood family nor did she have an option.

Pierre was the one who caused all of Nina's recent suffering. She was the victim!

Nina sighed when she saw Luca's sour expression. "It should be Joanne... They came for me. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, Luca. I'll go out."

"No, you stay here." Luca wanted to make a call but realized that her phone was not there. She then remembered that she left it in the bedroom.

She said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, I'm going to make a call. In the meantime, please open the door for the Mallory family and have Lanie and the others go upstairs. I don't want the Mallory family to scare them."

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Aunt Neile nodded and was about to leave the bedroom.

"Another thing, Aunt Neile, please entertain them downstairs. You'll have to leave work a little later than usual today," Luca said.

Aunt Neile replied, "Okay, no problem."

After Aunt Neile left, Luca looked at Nina and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, so you have nothing to apologize for. I'll go meet them, and you can wait here. Don't come down if you don't hear anything from me."

"The Mallory family is very..." Nina hesitated to continue speaking. "Luca, I can't let you face them alone. I'll do it. You're innocent."

"Don't worry. I'll give a call to Mr. Crawford before I head down." After Luca finished speaking, she walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. She then went to her bedroom to grab her phone. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of how they had not been in contact for nearly two days. At that moment, she had no choice but to take the initiative to talk to him.

She did not expect that the Mallory family would pay them a sudden visit. She knew she had to inform Luke about what was happening and get his opinion on how to manage this matter that involved Nina and deal with the Mallory family.

No matter what Luke said, she was determined to protect Nina.

Luca made up her mind and called Luke.

Luke answered her call fairly quickly. Luca did not wait for him to speak before she said, "Mr. Crawford, I need to get your opinion on something."

Luke stayed silent for a few seconds before he asked, "What's the matter?"

Luca could hear the hoarseness and exhaustion in his voice. She lowered her eyes, suppressed her worries about him, and said, "I assume you know about what happened to Nina?"

It had caused a big commotion, so even though Luke was not around, Luca assumed that he was aware as he had always kept a close eye on what was happening in A City.

"Yeah." Luke's response was short and simple. She blinked. If it were not for the silence on her end, she wondered if she had hallucinated his response because she missed him too much.

"She's staying at your villa now, but the Mallory family is at the door. I want to shield her from them. Do you have any concerns?" Luca made it clear that she wanted to help Nina. Nevertheless, it was Luke's villa, after all. She was certain that the Mallory family knew that. As such, she still had to get his opinion.

Otherwise, she might offend the Mallory family and they would blame Luke. If that happened, their partnership would be affected.

"Do what you think is right. If they don't back off, deal with it however you deem fit." Luke said more words this time.

Luca felt at ease when she heard what he said. She understood that he meant for her to protect Nina and not worry so much.

"Mm." This time, she was the one who gave a brief one-syllable response. Her voice was slightly trembling and contained a hint of helplessness.

Luke noticed her emotions and sighed helplessly. He wanted nothing more but to take her into his arms, but he was facing some difficulties with the task at hand. He had to be here to take charge, which was why he had to go on this business trip.

"I didn't expect you to call me for someone else," he said.

His hoarse voice passed through Luca's eardrums. It was electrifying. She was at a loss, and her mind went blank as she was unsure what Luke meant when he said that.

"Huh?" she said subconsciously, her brain a blank slate.

"Don't worry about it. Remember, if Old Master Mallory is the one who came to visit and you aren't able to manage him, call Grandpa and have him step in to deal with this matter. If it's someone else from thenovelbin

Mallory family and you can't have them settle down, call me." Luke urged. Old Master Crawford was the only one who could ease the situation if Old Master Mallory was involved.

"Okay... But will Old Master Crawford be willing to help Nina?" Luca hesitated. She was unsure if she wanted to involve Old Master Crawford.

There was already a rift between the Crawford and Mallory families. If Old Master Crawford stepped in, the rift would run deeper and it would lead to a negative impact on the Crawford family.

"Don't worry, he'll help. Percy is my business partner. Grandpa will be annoyed at me if he finds out that I didn't help Nina," Luke reassured her.

"Okay, I see." Luca held the phone tightly in her hand and looked at the door. The kids were standing at the door. She could even hear the sounds from downstairs because the door was not closed.

It seemed that the Mallory family had arrived.

"I'll deal with it now," Luca said.

"Mm, I'll help inform Grandpa and let him know what's going on," Luke said.

Luca hung up the phone, looked at the kids who were standing by the door of her bedroom, and walked out with a gentle smile on her face.

Rainie said, "Ms. Luca, Old Master Mallory and the others are here."

"Got it. Could you go to the laboratory to get Aunt Nina and stay in one of the bedrooms with her?" Luca asked the kids to accompany Nina so Nina would not launch herself into a state of overthinking.

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Rainie nodded.

Tommy's chubby face was slightly wrinkled as he was worried. "Ms. Luca, they look so fierce. You have to be careful."

"Okay, I know. If you don't hear anything from me, you and Aunt Nina can't go downstairs." Luca urged them.

The children nodded, walked to the lab, and brought Nina out.

Nina walked out of the room and looked at Luca.

Luca nodded, turned around, and went downstairs as she held her phone tightly in her hand. Even though she was no longer on a call with Luke, she knew that Luke would support her. Hence, she did not feel as panicked.

At the same time, Rainie held Nina's hand, and they went into her bedroom.

Luca went downstairs. She saw Old Master Mallory, Pierre, and a middle-aged couple. She frowned.

'Who is this middle-aged couple? Are they Percy's relatives? How do these people have anything to do with Nina?'

When Pierre saw Luca come downstairs, he looked her up and down with his sinister eyes. 'This woman is indeed dating Luke.'

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2189-Pierre was raving mad at Luca when he thought of the suffering he went through because of her. He wanted to take revenge right there, right then.

However, he could not afford to act recklessly in that situation.

After all, they were in Luke's territory. The explanation that he promised Luke previously had not been made.

No matter how much money he offered, no one in the company was willing to be the scapegoat.

Mr. Peralta knew what was coming and opted to resign immediately.

Pierre looked stern as he sat beside Old Master Mallory.

"Who is this?" Old Master Mallory's tone was unfriendly. He looked at Luca with contempt.

Luca frowned. She had met Madam Mallory and thought that her arrogant and domineering appearance was not at all like the demeanor of a lady.

After she met Old Master Mallory, she finally understood that Madam Mallory's arrogance came from him.

Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford were from the same era. They should be about the same age. However, the person in front of her had a completely different temperament compared to Old Master Crawford.

It did not matter how many crazy things someone did when they were young. If they looked kinder as they got older, it meant that they would have a good life.

However, even in his old age, the fierceness on Old Master Mallory's face and the gloom in his eyes remained.

Luca glanced at Pierre, who looked like he wanted to take her on, then at Old Master Mallory. The grandfather and grandson looked alike. It seemed that Percy was not like any of the Mallory family members.

"Hello, Old Master Mallory. My name is Luca Craw." Luca sat on the sofa across from them.

"Luca Craw?" Old Master Mallory frowned. The name seemed familiar. 'Isn't this Luke's residence? Who is this woman?'

He looked at Pierre and waited for him to speak.

"Grandpa, she's the woman who hurt me so badly that I ended up being hospitalized for a week. She seems to have an illicit relationship with Luke," Pierre said, his tone filled with hatred.

"It's you." Old Master Mallory looked Luca up and down. He did not expect that a seemingly weak and harmless woman was able to put Pierre in so much pain that he had to go to the hospital.

Back then, Pierre had gone through a living hell. It was deeply ingrained in Old Master Mallory's memory.

Regardless, they had no evidence that Luca caused it.

"Me? Mr. Pierre ended up in the hospital because his body was in bad health and protested against his overdose. It has nothing to do with me." Luke had handled that mess, so she would not be dumb enough to admit it.

"You!" Pierre clenched his fists.

"Pierre." Old Master Mallory shook his head, indicating that he should not be impulsive. It was a long time ago, so they could not pursue it even if they wanted to. Luke had Luca's back, so they could not do anything about it.

They were there because of Percy.

"Ms. Craw, we didn't come here today to talk about the past. After all, the police can't find anything, so it's useless for us to bring up the matter. I'll get straight to the point. We know Nina is here. Hand her over and that's where your involvement ends." Old Master Mallory's tone was still somewhat polite.

After all, the Mallory family still owed the Crawford family an explanation. No matter how this woman was involved with Luke, her living here meant that Luke would back her. He did not want any unnecessary trouble.

"You're not here to pick a fight? It's hard to think so looking at your expression." Luca picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. Her expression was elegant.

She did her best to look calm when faced with Old Master Mallory, who appeared strong and tough.

She should not be afraid of anyone who Luke was not afraid of.

Also, Luke was backing her, so they would not be able to take Nina.

"Enough with the nonsense. Hand over that b*tch to me!" Pierre could not stand Luca. If it were not for Luke, Luca was no one!

He thought of her as nothing but a woman who lay in bed with him.

"B*tch? Mr. Pierre, tell me, how has Nina been a b*tch?" Luca's expression changed. She was no longer calm and gave Pierre a death stare.

"She's a b*tch! Even if Luke is backing you, you should hand over Nina obediently. It's already a stretch for him to protect you!" Pierre said. All he could think about was to bring Nina with him.

He seemed to think that if he could get to her, Nina would be all his.

"Mr. Pierre, please allow me to remind you that Nina's unbearable past was caused by you. Everyone can say that she is unworthy of Percy, but you absolutely can't!" Luca mocked him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pierre rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move on Luca.

Luca's expression did not change as she knew that there were surveillance cameras in the area even if he decided to hurt her. She could easily hospitalize Pierre once more and use the footage as evidence to keep herself scot-free.

"I don't know if I'm talking nonsense. Old Master Mallory, I'm not sure if you know about Nina's past and who caused all the hurt that she had to go through?" Luca raised her hand and pointed at Pierre. "He colluded with Julian, kidnapped Nina, then imprisoned and tortured her inhumanly. He impregnated her but forced her to abort the child. Do you think that Nina went through all that willingly? The Mallory family has done bad things and paid people off to escape the punishment of the law. How can you stand in front of the public and join them in accusing Nina of being unworthy of Percy? Who was the one who ruined her life? It's your good grandson, Pierre! Let me make this clear, Nina is here in this house, but no one is allowed to take her!"

Luca spoke so passionately that she teared up. She stood up and fought for the injustice on behalf of Nina. She was not afraid to call out the Mallory family nor that they would take Nina by force.

That was because she did not see any bodyguards with them.

She was more than capable of managing an old man, two middle-aged people, and Pierre.

Aunt Neile was shocked by Luca's reaction. She thought that Luca would deny that Nina was there and make peace with the Mallory family. She did not expect Luca to condemn the Mallory family for what they did to Nina nor put on such a strong mentality. novelbin

Although the Mallory family did not bring extra support, Pierre was around. Aunt Neile was worried if a seemingly weak woman like Luca could fight against him.

Aunt Neile saw Pierre stand up, so she immediately stood in front of Luca and said, "Don't try anything or I'll call for the security team."

"It's okay, Aunt Neile. Step aside. He's in the wrong but is trying to cover up his misdeeds with force. I'll have to teach him a lesson so that he'll understand that he can't bear the consequences of doing so." Luca motioned her hand.

Pierre's expression turned ugly when he saw her gesture.

It was this move that landed him in the hospital for a week.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2190-Even after some time had passed, Pierre could not forget the pain that he suffered.

He wanted the pain to end, but it felt like he was stuck in a bottomless pit of suffering. He took so many painkillers that his mouth was bitter and his stomach felt uncomfortable. He did not want to go through that once more.

"Pierre." Old Master Mallory gave him a way out.

Pierre sat down and glared at Luca. He was fuming and swore to find an opportunity to teach this woman a lesson.

"Ms. Craw, it's the first time I've heard of it. Since the police didn't bother Pierre about it, mind your words." Old Master Mallory knew about it, but he would never admit it in front of Luca.

"Mind my words? Mr. Pierre is unwilling to admit what he did in the past, but Nina is innocent. How can you accuse her of being a b*tch?" Her gaze was cold as she stared at the man in front of her

If Percy was not the only one who was nice to Nina, she thought that the entire Mallory family would go to hell because none of them were innocent!

"You!" Pierre was annoyed by her sharp words.

"Pierre, sit down!" Old Master Mallory frowned at his restlessness.

Pierre had no choice but to sit still and hold back his anger.

"Since you said that, it means that the news reports are inaccurate. I heard that you're going to pick on her and even force her to leave Mr. Percy because of this fake news? That's a bit far-fetched. Please leave. Nina won't listen to you. She has a solid relationship with Mr. Percy. Even if you don't accept them, you won't be able to break them up because they've been in love for so many years. You can

choose to accept it. Even if you don't accept it, I don't think you need to do these things and say these words. After all, as their elder, there are a lot of things that you can't solve. The decision is still on them," Luca said.

The moment Pierre started speaking, she had already prepared this speech.

"What a sharp tongue!" Old Master Mallory was raving mad. He slammed the crutches in his hand hard on the floor and said, "Ms. Craw, I wasted my time listening to your rant because I respect the Crawford family. However, it doesn't mean that you have the right to accuse me or tell me how to do things. Now, I'll leave with Nina. Even if you try, you won't be able to do anything about it. Don't force me to do things the hard way."

Old Master Mallory had been wanting to find someone to grab Nina, but Percy protected her too well.

There were bodyguards in the villa, so he could not take Nina away by force.

He did not expect Nina to go to the Crawford family to avoid them.

There were no bodyguards around, only some security guards. He knew the real estate developer, so he could get the security guards to stay away. Old Master Mallory was confident that he would get hold of Nina.

"You want to bulldoze your way through? I don't see any bodyguards with you. By the way, Old Master Mallory, I've practiced martial arts. If you don't mind Mr. Pierre being hospitalized for a month or two, come for me. There are cameras here. It'll be obvious who started it. The police can make their judgment based on the evidence." Luca pointed to the cameras. She made it clear that she would not be on the losing end even without Luke.

If they fought, Pierre would be the one to suffer.

Pierre knew his skills were not as good as Luca's, so he whispered to Old Master Mallory, "Grandpa, let the men outside come in. This crazy woman fights well."

Old Master Mallory looked at the woman in front of him with a sullen expression.

It did not seem like she was bragging...

"I see," Luca murmured. ‘They've prepared back up. No wonder they're acting so tough.'

"There's a video call that you should take before making any rash decisions," Luca said. No matter how good she was, she still could not handle more than a handful of men. On top of that, the kids were upstairs.

If Nina was snatched by them, the children would be traumatized. Hence, she changed her mind about not bothering Old Master Crawford.

After all, as a mother, she had to protect her children so that they would not be hurt the slightest. As Nina's best friend, she also wanted to protect her.

Luca took out her phone and called Old Master Crawford.

Old Master Crawford picked up the call after it rang once. He looked at Luca kindly and said, "Luca, leave it to me."

Before she called him, Luke had called him and briefly explained the matter.

He made it clear that he wanted Old Master Crawford to help Luca and protect Nina.

Old Master Crawford agreed immediately. After these few incidents, his friendship with Old Master Mallory was no longer what it used to be. They were still in touch, but that was only because there were profits involved.

"Okay, Old Master Crawford." Luca put her phone on the coffee table and used a cup to support it. The front camera was aimed at the Old Master Mallory.

Old Master Mallory's mood sank when he heard Old Master Crawford's voice.

"Yo, Mallory, it's you! Shouldn't you be resting at home? Why did you bring your grandson and relatives to Luke's house?" Old Master Crawford teased. His expression was in a stark juxtaposition to Old Master Mallory's.

Old Master Mallory went straight to the point, "I don't want to disturb the peace of the Crawfords. I came here so I could take someone who has nothing to do with the Crawfords with me."

Old Master Crawford did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Pierre, who was sitting next to Old Master Mallory. He asked with a smile on his face, "Pierre, why are you here? The matter you promised me and

Luke isn't resolved yet. Didn't you promise that you'll bring the culprit to the police station? How are you so free to visit Luke's?" "I'll get it done as soon as possible." Pierre was fuming and could not help himself from smashing his phone into pieces.

"Glad to hear that. After all, Luke has never been very patient since he was a child. You should move faster. By the way, if all is well, you should make your departure so that you won't disturb my greatgrandchildren from their rest. They have to go to school tomorrow. Also, Mallory, if you take things lightly, you might end up like me where you have four generations living together." Old Master Crawford smiled. He was amused by their gloomy expressions.

He was not at all annoyed at having to deal with the Mallory family. After all, after he realized Old Master Mallor's true colors, he found it amusing to see the other party's stern expression

Luca listened by the side and felt a little helpless. She thought that Old Master Crawford was a humorous and interesting man.

"You don't have to worry about us. I told you that I'm here for Nina. Have Ms. Craw release her and I'll leave immediately so that I won't disturb your precious great-grandchildren." Old Master Mallory insisted. He did not intend to return empty-handed this time.

After all, it was rare that Percy was not around Nina to protect her.
