Ch. 2221..2230

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2221-She sat on the dressing chair, recalling the scene when Luke had just come in.

Luke sat on this chair. It was uncomfortable as the height of the table and the chair was not suitable for a man who was almost 190cm tall to sit.

Luca noticed that Luke was hunching when he sat on the chair.

That was the only way to sit there and work, but such a sitting position was difficult for Luke, who had gotten used to sitting up straight while he was working.

It was like correcting a man's walking and sitting posture when he often did it the wrong way. It would be difficult and painful for him.

It was the same for Luke to sit on a dressing chair. It must have been tiring for him...

Luca's mind was full of Luke. She could not help but shake her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about him.

Luca took her skincare products out. After she put it on her face, she took a notebook and a pen out of the drawer. Then, she sat on the bed with the blanket covering her legs. She placed a pillow behind her waist, adjusted herself into a comfortable sitting posture, and began to analyze the experimental data.

She tried to focus, but there was no way she could do it. Luke's silhouette lingered in her mind, and she was unable to get him off her mind.

Her bedroom door was pushed open.

Luca was so preoccupied that she was surprised by the sudden creaking sound of the door opening.

She lifted her head and looked at the door. Luke was holding a pillow and a book. He walked into her room.

“Mr. Crawford, you're.." Luca sat up straight and looked at him.

Luke had changed into his pajamas. He walked to her bedside and signaled her to move over to the side of the bed. Then, he said, "I'm sleeping here tonight."

"No!" Luca unconsciously answered him, "You can't sleep here."

"Reason." Luke noticed that Luca refused to move away and give him space. He could not be bothered that the remaining space on the bed was only enough for him to lay down on the bed. He put his pillow on the bed and sat down on the bed.

As Luca watched him getting onto the bed from behind, she immediately said, "Nina is still here."

Luke raised his brows. He leaned on the headboard of the bed, like how Luca did just now. He looked at her, "Will she enter your bedroom in the middle of the night?"

“No..." Luca shook her head. Not even the kids would enter her bedroom in the middle of the night...

Luke was the only one who would enter her bedroom in the middle of the night and cuddle with her in bed.

“What are you afraid of, then?" Luke ignored her astonishment. They both knew that they were a couple.

However, Luca was still being manipulated. That was why she could only use another identity to approach Luke.

Hence, she was not Bianca to the others. Perhaps she might be called a mistress too.novelbin

Luke knew that Luca still had feelings for him, but she was afraid that Nina would be imagining things given the circumstances now. Nina was Bianca's best friend, after all.

Luca was getting along well with Nina now. That was why she did not want to put her in a difficult position.

"Well, it'll affect us badly for now," Luca mumbled while she grasped the bedsheet. The intimacy they shared that night flashed across her mind again.

Every little gesture he did was imprinted in her mind.

“Luca, if you don't move aside, I'll fall off the bed while I'm sleeping at night. That's how badly I'll be affected," said Luke. He did not tell her that Nina had already found out about their relationship.

Luca looked at him, and she moved her pillow aside helplessly. She glanced at the book he placed on his thigh. It was a book about business management in English.

Luke moved toward her and leaned on the headboard comfortably.

“Mr. Crawford, are you sure you want to sleep here? If Nina—"

Before Luca could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Luke, “If you mention Nina's name again, I'll ask her to move back to Percy's place tomorrow."

Luca shut her mouth immediately once she heard that.

Nina could not go back there now.

Nina had told her that Percy was still on a business trip and there were only maids in the villa now.

The Mallory family found out that she was staying in Luke's villa after she asked the maid to bring her clothes and necessities here. That was how the Mallory family knew it and came looking for her.

The consequences would be unimaginable if Nina was asked to move out of the house when Percy had not come back yet.

Luca knew Luke was being serious.

After all, he would not be kind to other women. Hence, he would not care what Nina would be facing when she was forced to move back there. He would not give a damn even if Nina was Percy's fiancee.

Luca could only shift her gaze back to the notebook. She wrote and drew some chemical equations on it. Sometimes, she would glance at the notes on her phone. It was the data she recorded when she was experimenting.

"Are you studying medicine?" Although Luke could not understand what she wrote, he recognized the chemical elements in the notebook.

Luca replied, “Yes." She was startled for a moment. Then, she explained to him, “I'm doing research for my own drug. It's not going to be launched in the market."

“I didn't mean anything." Luke comforted her when he heard her explaining to him with a nervous tone.

He could sense that the research Luca was studying was not simple at all.

However, he could not take the samples in the test tubes out and bring them to Johann for him to study them.

He noticed that Luca had labeled a serial number for every test tube.

There was also graduation written on every test tube. She would notice it if he took some of it.

If he took it and added some reagent in the test tube... Luke refused to do something like that. There must be a reason Luca was doing her research. He would only be causing trouble for her if he did that.

Besides, Luca was seizing every moment to do the research. The research must be significant to her.

Luca nodded and continued with her research.

Luke remained silent to prevent himself from disturbing Luca's thoughts. He took his phone out of his pajamas' pocket and put it on the bedside table. He began to read his book after he charged his phone.

Luca only realized that he had already moved his phone charger here after watching Luke.

Her phone model was different from Luke's. That was why it was unlikely Luke would be using her phone charger.

"What are you looking at?" Luke noticed that Luca was staring at him, and he asked.

"My phone charger.."

"It's on the bedside table on your side," said Luke. He pointed at the other side of the bedside table.

He had already placed it there.

Luca quietly plugged the charger into the outlet. She was planning to charge her phone by sliding the other side of the cable into her phone when she was about to sleep.

Luke held her in his arms when she had just sat down.

Luca frowned and said, "Mr. Crawford, I can't work like this."

Luke let out a sigh. He had no choice but to let her go. "Is this okay, then?"

"Yeah." Luca nodded. She could feel Luke's thigh leaning closer to hers.

Even though they had their pajamas on, they could feel each other's temperature easily with the distance between them.

Luke no longer said anything, and Luca continued to calculate the data and chemical equations.

She thought she would not be able to study the research with Luke by her side, but she did not expect that she could truly calm down and focus on it. Her speed was twice as fast when she was studying the research data.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2222-After Luca finished calculating the data and equation, she realized that Luke did not affect her when he was by her side.

Instead, his presence made her even more focused on what she was doing.

The silhouette that kept on appearing in her mind and affecting her progress never showed up again with Luke by her side.

Luca closed her notebook.

Luke noticed that and asked, "Done?"

“Yeah. I've concluded the experimental data for this stage." Luca placed the notebook on the bedside table. After that, she began to feel overwhelmed again.

Luke closed his book, placed it on the bedside table, and said, “Get some rest."

“Mr. Crawford..." Luca was afraid that Luke was dropping her a hint. She quickly said, “It's the time of the month..."

“Just sleep." Luke's eyes darkened. He was not planning on verifying whether she was telling the truth or not.

He only wanted to cuddle with her in bed.

He could do nothing, but he had to cuddle with her. That way, he could have a good night's sleep.

Luca slightly frowned. Luke's reaction was too calm, and it was unlike anything she had expected.

She attempted to find some emotions in his eyes, even if it was disappointment. However, there was none.novelbin

Was Luke not interested in her body?

There should be a look of disappointment in his eyes when something like this happened, right?

However, Luke was as cold as he had always been. She could hardly see any other emotions in his eyes.

Luca was confused, and she lay down on the bed.

Luke turned off the lights and lay on the bed after covering the blanket on Luca.

Luca slept in a fetal position on her side as her stomach was feeling uncomfortable. Luke's hand reached out for her when she had just found a comfortable sleeping position.

His hands fell right on her lower abdomen. He did not move his hands to feel her body.

A wave of warmth rose from her lower abdomen and flowed into her heart.

Previously, when she had her period, Luke used to help her to warm her stomach like this too.

Although he seemed cold and heartless, his hands were warm. It felt warmer and more comfortable to have him warm her up than place a heating pack on her shirt no matter what season it was.

Luke's behavior and gestures had never changed after so many years.

It warmed Luca's heart, but her heart was aching at the same time.

She thought Luke would only do something so sweet to Bianca.

"Are you feeling more comfortable now?" Luke asked. He knew it was the period pain that made Luca feel uncomfortable when he saw her lying that way.

His kids had even told him that Luca went outside without putting warm clothes on.

Her period pain would hurt even more.

Not only was Luke warming her lower abdomen with his hands, but he was also gently massaging it.

"Yes." Luca closed her eyes, feeling the tenderness of his hand.

She could feel his breath on the back of her head when he spoke, and it was hot.

"Get some rest. I'll ask Aunt Neile to prepare some brown sugar tea for you tomorrow," said Luke.

Luca closed her eyes. Her heart was trembling, but she did not say a word.

She never thought that she would have the chance to enjoy Luke's gentleness for the past three years.

The only thing that helped her to relieve the pain was the painkillers that Shanks gave her when she was suffering from period pain back then.

There was no brown sugar tea, no one was gentle to her, and no one comforted her.

She had to continue her training after taking the painkillers. No one felt sorry for her.

Luca thought she would be spending the rest of her life like this. She did not expect she would be treated like this after she met Luke again.

She thought that she was still Bianca for a moment.

Traders Hotel.

Matysh sat on the sofa in his suite, looking at the visitor who sat in front of him with a gloomy look on his face. He said, "Why are you here?"

"The driver told me that you'd like to meet me." The man took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, and he handed one to Matysh out of courtesy.

Matysh did not take the cigarette from him when he saw his gestures. Instead, he took a cigar out of the metal box beside him. He lit it and smoked. "I'm not used to smoking cheap cigarettes. I told your driver this evening, but you came here when it's almost the middle of the night. I haven't seen any businessman as arrogant as you are. You're doing it on purpose, right?"

After Matysh was sent back to the hotel, he complained to the driver about his dissatisfaction.

However, the person who was responsible for this had only just arrived. No matter how reluctant Matysh was to deal with these people, he knew they did not take him seriously.

Not only did they not take care of his feelings, they even came to disturb him in the middle of the night.

They killed his vibes and ruined his plans...

Bill, who was sitting opposite Matysh, looked at the dark complexion on Matysh's face and watched him. He took a cigarette out and let his subordinates lit the cigarette for him.

His subordinate took the lighter and helped him to light his cigarette.

Bill took a puff of a cigarette and slowly explained, "Mr. Matysh, don't blame me for being late. You're not in a hurry. I was handling some other matters just now. You know, gangs like us always get into a lot of trouble."

Matysh smoked his cigar with a scowl on his face.

“I paid you, and I’m your God. Give me back my money if you can’t handle this well.” Matysh pointed at him with his cigar.

Was he asking for a refund?

Bill shook his head. It was impossible to refund his money. He said, "I believe my driver has already told you that this is a long game, and we need to come up with a plan before we make our moves. Our organization is nothing like those gangs who only know how to cause trouble out there. We do business, and we're handling your request at the moment. Of course, we'll do it for you, but we've mentioned to you that it won't be easy as the person involved is someone with high social status. That's why we need to come up with a good plan. I told you this myself. Didn't you agree with me on the other end of the line that day?"

Matysh’s face darkened. The gang he looked for was certainly not an ordinary gang.

He still needed a translator to communicate with those troublemakers. However, the man in front of him was a mobster of an organized crime. He could speak English, and they were able to communicate with each other.

However, the price to hire such a crime organization was usually higher than usual crime organizations.

Therefore, Matysh was unhappy with their attitude and efficiency.

“I was still in Russia when I agreed with you. I’m in A City now, and you’re telling me you need to come up with a plan? Did you come here to make me a fool?” Matysh took a deep puff of the cigar and blew a smoke ring in the air.

Not only was their efficiency slow, but they also came to disturb him.

Matysh thought he would be having a pleasant evening when he found a woman who looked like Luca on the internet and paid her to come over to sleep with him. He had no choice but to ask the woman to wait in the corridor when Bill brought his subordinates along with him here.

Matysh recalled what his subordinate told him and what he did today when he saw Bill. Grievance rose in him like a tide, and it made him lose the desire to spend the night with that woman.

"I've told you that your request was challenging. You agreed that you'd wait, and you didn't give us a deadline. We need to make sure that our plan is perfect. No mistakes are allowed. That's why we need a lot of time to follow the target and look into it. Mr. Matysh, if you can't understand our job, we can refund some of the money to you. But we're taking the deposit. It's non-refundable. What do you think?" said Bill while taking out his checkbook.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2223-Only some of the money could be refunded?

Matysh was not thinking about getting back some of the money. He was not concerned about the money, but he wanted to get Luca. He wanted them to be efficient.

After all, he had no patience.

Bill asked him again when Matysh did not give him a reply, “Mr. Matysh, what do you think? If you're fine with it, I'm going to write a check."

"I'm not short of money. I want her, and I need you to act faster. Money isn't a problem. If you can make me happy, I'll pay more," Matysh said arrogantly. He was a racist, and he thought that people with different color skin tones did not deserve to make friends with him.

That was why he had no friends or connections here.

He had to pay to get Luca. It was difficult for him to find another crime organization like Bill's here.

If he looked for others now, he would still need to find a translator for him. That would mean letting another person know about his plans. There was a risk that his plans would be exposed. Hence, after Matysh took this into consideration, he refused to take the risk. He had no choice but to cooperate with Bill.

Bill smiled when he heard Matysh say that he was going to pay more. He put out his cigarette and rose to his feet. He stretched his hand out and said, "Thank you for trusting us, Mr. Matysh. I look forward to working with you."

"If you're still making slow progress, don't blame me for making things difficult for you." Matysh stood up, quickly shook hands, and withdrew his hand in disgust.

Normally, someone like Bill would not cooperate with anyone.

Bill could not be bothered when he noticed that Matysh was disgusted. It was easy to scam someone like Matysh who was a stranger in an unfamiliar place.

Especially when the arrogant Matysh thought that he was superior to the others. That would be even easier to scam his money.

Bill had seen different kinds of people before, and he would not get angry because of this.

"There's a saying that you can do all things with money. Since you're generous enough, we'll make sure that we speed up our progress. I'm sorry to disturb you. Time is gold, and it's time for us to leave." After that, Bill left together with his subordinates.

Matysh did not make them stay. He only responded in a cold voice, "Ask that woman to come back here."

"Sure," Bill pushed the door open and looked at the woman who was standing outside the door.

He sized her up and said, "Mr. Matysh asked you to go in."

The woman nodded and headed into the suite.

The subordinate watched the woman from behind. He could not help but say, "Boss, this woman looks exactly like the woman he mentioned."

Although his subordinate did not make it clear who that woman was, Bill knew who he was talking about.

Bill sneered and said, "This woman is just a substitute. Matysh can't get his hands on Ms. Craw. That's why he found someone who looks like her to quench his thirst."

The woman who entered the suite just now was not worth his sympathy.

After all, they were just doing it for the sake of money. These women would not mind if they were someone else's substitute.

Bill was in a good mood at the thought of getting another huge sum of money in the future. He whistled while he entered the elevator and left.

On the other hand.

In the suite.

What Marcos heard was the moaning of a woman. He stopped listening and put it down.

"Boss, how is it?" asked Andy.

Andy informed Marcos as soon as he found out that someone had entered Matysh's bedroom.

Although Luke's men were eavesdropping on their conversation, Marcos decided to eavesdrop on their conversation for a while too. That was why Andy set up another line for him.

"We've got something. I believe Luke must have found out something too," replied Marcos.

Luke was a local here. It was an easy task for him to investigate a crime organization.

Andy nodded.

He did not hear what they were talking about through the bugging devices. Hence, he did not know that person's name. Marcos did not ask him to look into it either, and he reckoned that he must be someone easy to deal with.

"I need you to send an invitation card to Luke tomorrow. Tell him that I'd like to invite him to supper," said Marcos.

"Supper? Okay. Where?" Andy noted it down. He had yet to realize what was wrong.

"Find out which food stall serves good food. Invite Luca and Tina too," Marcos added. He did not manage to find any traces of his mother this time, and it was time for him to return.

Besides, Luke was going to deal with Matysh. If Marcos was here and Matysh got into trouble, it would be difficult for him to explain it when he returned to Russia.

"Food stall..." Something came into Andy's mind. He looked at his boss and asked, "Boss, are you asking me to buy them supper?" "I'll pay first, but I'll cut it from your salary after we get back to Russia. You lost the bet, after all." Marcos stood up. It was late, and he should get some rest.

"Boss..." Andy struggled to shed a tear or two.

"You lost. And prices at a food stall aren't that expensive either," replied Marcos as he strolled to the bedroom.

He let Andy stay in the suite to make it convenient for him. There was another room for Andy. Andy had no choice but to resign to his fate and said, "Okay."

Andy sat on the sofa and began to brainstorm strategies.

The next day.

Luke woke up and opened his eyes. Luca was still asleep.

He felt satisfied looking at her deeply asleep, and he had the urge to hold her in his arms.

He gently embraced her.

Still, Luca woke up. She could feel Luke's hand on her waist. She looked up and met his gaze.

"Good morning," Luke's voice was deep and hoarse, but he sounded energetic.

"Good morning..." Luca greeted him as she recalled the dreams she had last night. They were PG-18 and not kid-friendly...

"It's still early," Luke pull her closer and held her in his arms. When he was about to ask her to sleep a little while more, she shook her head and got out of bed. "I'm getting up now. It's getting late."

"Okay..."

Luke had no choice but to get up too when he saw her insist on getting out of bed.

Luke had no choice but to climb out of the bed and leave Luca's room as his toiletries were in his bedroom. He did not bring his pillow along with him.

Luca looked at the pillow on the bed, and before she could say anything, Luke had opened the door. She could only shut her mouth, shake her head, and walk into the bathroom.

Luke had just left Luca's bedroom when he happened to see Nina walking out of her room.

Nina frowned and looked at him.

Luke did not say a word as he returned to his bedroom. He did not seem anxious, and he could not be bothered to explain either.

Nina widened her eyes as she watched him return to his bedroom. She eventually shut her mouth.

There was nothing she could say about this.

Percy called her last night. He told her that he would pick her up and asked her to ignore Luke and Luca's affairs...

Nina had no choice but to go along with Percy's wish.

She turned around and made her way down the stairs.

After Luca freshened herself up, Luke pushed her bedroom door open when she was about to return Luke his pillow. He brought his toiletries along with him.

"Why are you taking my pillow?" Luke frowned and asked when he saw Luca was carrying his pillow.

"I was thinking of returning it to you," replied Luca. She looked at the toiletries in his hands, then she lowered her head and glanced at the pillow.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2224-"Put it back, unless you'd like to sleep in my bedroom," said Luke. He brought the toiletries into the bathroom and placed them together with Luca's.

Luca watched him and knew Luke was moving to her room.

If Nina saw this...

Luke came out of the bathroom and said, "What are you waiting for? Go get your breakfast."

"Ah, okay..." Luca walked out of the bedroom and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the guest room. Nina did not walk out of the room.

She quickly headed downstairs.

Nina and the kids were already sitting at the dining table.

Tommy saw her and Luke, who was following behind her. He teased, "Daddy and Ms. Luca are sleepy heads. You're always sleeping in."

Luca's face reddened. Although Tommy did not mean that, she felt like she was being teased when she heard that.

She was teased by a child.

Luca cleared her throat and sat on the chair.

Luke sat down beside her. He did not say anything when he heard Tommy say so. He deliberately slept in.

It was because it felt comfortable cuddling with Luca.

It had been a long time since he cuddled with his wife in bed. Now that he had the chance to do so, it was fine for him to sleep for a while.

Rainie lifted her head and gently knocked on Tommy's head when she heard his younger brother say something like that. Then, she said, "Daddy and Ms. Luca are tired because of work. That's why they slept longer. They're different from you."

Tommy waved his chubby hands and retorted, "It's been a long time since I had a lie-in!"

"You're still a lazy little pig," Rainie smiled as she handed Tommy a glass of juice, "Lazy little pig, here's your juice. Drink more to grow taller."

"Daddy, Rainie is bullying me." Tommy acted cutely and looked at Luke.

"She's lecturing you," There was a hint of a smile flashing across Luke's eyes, but he said it with a cold expression on his face. Only the adults knew that he was making fun of the kids.

Tommy thought his father was serious, so he pouted and said, "Daddy, you always side with Rainie. You don't like me anymore. Sob, I'm a pitiful little boy." "Come on. You're a good boy. Eat your breakfast. You have to go to school after breakfast," Luca shook her head helplessly and cheered Tommy up.

Tommy nodded after Luca wheedled him. He placed his chubby hands on Luca's hand and said, "Fortunately, Ms. Luca still cares about me. Hmph."

Luca smiled and helped him with the scrambled eggs.

Nina ate her breakfast while she listened to their conversation. Even if Bianca came back home and sat at the dining table, she would still have this feeling that Luca was part of the family. novelbin

Things would be the same for Bianca and Nina. They were only irrelevant outsiders.

Two cars stopped at the entrance after they finished breakfast.

One of them was Uncle Zander's car. He came here to send the children to school, while another car was arranged by Luke. It was meant to send Luca to the office.

As for Luke, he was not planning to go back to the office yet.

Luca stood at the door as she listened to Luke introducing the chauffeur, "He's Warren Carlson. He's responsible for sending you to the office and picking you up. You don't have to worry that you'll be troubling him. Just inform him when you need a ride. He's not doing anything else. He'll just be following you."

Warren was chosen by Luke. He passed his training and was good at fighting. He was chosen by Gale for having good driving skills. Luke would not have to worry if Luca was protected by him.

"Okay. Thank you," Luca smiled at Warren.

Warren opened the door of the backseat and said, "Ms. Craw, please get into the car."

"Thank you," Luca was about to get into the car, but she glanced at Luke and asked, "Mr. Crawford, are you coming along?"

"I have something else to do. I'm not going to the office," answered Luke.

Luca nodded. She bent down and climbed into the car.

Luca came forward and closed the door for her. Then, he reminded Warren, "Inform Gale right away if anything happens."

"Yes, Boss." Although Warren was Gale's man, he was Luke's subordinate too.

After Warren drove off, Luke headed to Traders Hotel.

He did not make his way to Marcos' suite. After all, Marcos' suite and Matysh's suite were on the same floor. He headed to the room below that floor.

Gale and the others had booked a room below Matysh's suite. The bugging signal was the strongest there, and they would not arouse Matysh's suspicion at the same time.

Luke took the card out, swiped the card, and entered the room.

Gale heard the noises of the door open. He stood up, realized that it was Luke who came in, and greeted, "Boss, you're here."

"How are things?" Luke asked. He noticed there were unread messages on his phone when he woke up.

The messages were sent in the middle of the night. Gale did not disturb him as it was not urgent.

"We've got something. We found out who's working for Matysh. His name is Bill Lewis. We looked into his profile and found out that Bill is the founder of Bloodworth Mob. The mob was founded two years ago, and they're different from street gangs. They have a stronghold for their mob, and they normally provide services for foreigners," Gale explained to him.

Rain walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of fruits in her hands. She said, "Besides, the people in Bloodworth Mob are educated. Other than the fighters, the other members are university graduates. They're good at other languages too. That's why they can communicate with foreigners and the services they provide are much more expensive than other mobs. Although they hardly own any territory, their financial statements have been stable for the past two years. It's because those foreigners think that they'll be taking another risk if others find out what they're up to. Hence, they prefer to cooperate with Bloodworth Mob. At least they don't have to look for a translator."

Rain had nothing to do last night. Hence, she looked further into Bill Lewis and the situation of his mob. She accidentally found out about their financial statements too.

"Who's this Bill Lewis?" Luke asked. He was not too concerned with the mobs and gangs.

After all, the local mobs would not dare to get themselves involved with the Crawford family either. Moreover, Luke did not need the mobs to support him.

"He's the son of a rich man. His father was previously a constructor, and he became rich overnight after he won the lottery. Then, his father made a few investments. I have to admit that his father has good insight. He made some money through the investments. Then, he sent Bill to New York to study. After Bill came back here, he did not follow his father's line. He asked for a sum of money and founded a mob instead. Then, he started to invite those who are knowledgeable and good at fighting to join his mob. A City has become the first International trade metropolis in the country, and he made a lot of money by providing services to foreigners. I continued to look into them and found out that they're different from the other mobs. They look like they abide by the law and follow the rules. That's why the police don't go looking for them," Rainie took a bite of the apple after she finished talking.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2225-"They've never done anything against the law?" Luke raises his brows. He refused to believe it.

"Only seemingly. They're a bunch of smart people. It's not that easy to investigate everything about them in a night. Boss, give me some time. I'll figure it out," said Rain with a smile on her face. She loved digging into the things that people had done behind the scenes and exposing them all.

Gale picked up the toothpick as he wanted to grab some fruits for himself, but Rainie stopped him and she said, "These are mine. Go get the fruits yourself if you want some."

"You're stingy." Gale put the toothpick down and looked at Luke, "Boss, are you planning to talk to Bill now?"

"Don't alert them first." Luke decided. Once he looked for Bill, he would alert Matysh too, regardless if they were able to make a deal with Bill.

Bill cooperated with the foreigners only because it was easier to make money that way. That also indicated that if Luke paid them money, Bill would turn his back on Matysh and listen to Luke.

However, Luke did not intend to cooperate with the mobs.

Besides, he was not planning to find out who had more money—him or Matysh. After all, Marcos could get involved too.

"Boss, what's next?" Gale knew Luke had a better plan in mind when he heard him tell them not to alert the enemy.

"Bill's men are following Luca. Ask your men to follow Bill's men." Luke gave his instruction. He had other plans for Bill.novelbin

"Understood. But there's another thing. Matysh told Bill that he's running out of patience last night. He wants to pay more so that they can bring Dr. Craw to him as soon as possible." Gale reported to Luke.

"Was he in such a hurry?" Luke frowned.

"Yes, I heard that too. Charming beauty makes men fall. Boss, you should quickly deal with such a pervert. Tell me, do you want him dead or do you want his private parts cut off? " Rain excitedly made a throat-slitting gesture on her neck, then her lower part of the body.

Before Luke could say anything, Gale saw what Rain was up to. He shuddered for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

Rain would always get excited whenever she was dealing with perverts. It was as though she could not wait to kill all the perverts in this world.

"It depends," replied Luke. Although Marcos had assured him that he could do whatever he liked to Matysh, he had to show some respect to him.

If Matysh stopped what he was doing now, Luke would not do anything ruthless to him. However, if Matysh did not take the chance, then Luke would not be kind to him.

"Plus, although we found out that Matysh is cooperating with Bill's men, you'll still have to eavesdrop on him and see if anyone else comes to look for him," said Luke. He was worried that the organization behind Luca would set eyes on Matysh's wealth and come looking for him. Then, they would ask Luca to look for him.

"Got it, Boss," Gale nodded.

"Keep an eye on Pierre too. I need to know who gave him the bidding document," added Luke.

Pierre did not mention Luca's name, and he did not threaten her either. Hence, Luca probably stole the bidding document and handed it to the man who was manipulating her. Then, the man sold the bidding document to Pierre.

"We've been keeping an eye on that bastard," said Rain. If it were not for Luke who told them not to lay a finger on him, she would have probably plotted against him.

After all, she has seen it for herself how Pierre behaved like an *sshole while they were following him.

He treated women like toys.

He was the same as the man above.

"You'll have to work hard lately. I appreciate your efforts," said Luke. Gale and Rain had helped him a lot.

"Boss, what's that for? We're great at our job," replied Gale. They had been doing these when they were on the Island of Despair. Luke was the one who brought them out. If they were to do other things, they might not be able to do them well.

Therefore, the job Luke had assigned them happened to be what they were good at. They did not feel pressured when they were doing this, and they even thought that the job suited them well.

Besides, Luke would never let put them in danger.

"Yes, Boss. Don't say something like that. We'd still be puppets manipulated by them if it weren't for you. We'd have no freedom, and we wouldn't be as relaxed as we are now. Our hands would be stained with blood, and we'd have nightmares every night when we sleep." Raine put the fruit bowl aside.

What she said was true.

Previously, when Luke had not gotten onto the Island of Despair, Gale and Rain were assigned by Robert to carry out different kinds of missions. Other than getting their hands stained with blood, they did not get to choose what they wanted to do.

They were unable to sleep well at night.

Although they were on the Island of Despair, they were afraid of death too. The more they were afraid of it, the more often they would get nightmares.

Even though they were famous killers in the organization, they were still able to experience the fear of being manipulated by the Island of Despair.

That was why they were grateful and appreciated Luke for saving them from such lives.

At least, they were free to do anything they wanted now. Luke would not bother them either.

Furthermore, they believed that Luke would not stop them if they wanted to leave.

"It's all in the past. Just tell the hotel staff what you'd like to eat. I'm going back to the office," said Luke. He would never treat those who were capable at their job badly.

"Okay, Boss. We'll get whatever we want," Rain smiled and said. Gale nodded as tried to grab one of Rain's fruits at the same time.

Rain slapped the back of his hand without hesitation when she found out that he was trying to steal her fruits. She said, "Did you even listen to me? Just tell the hotel receptionist what you want to eat. Let them bring another bowl of fruit up here. Stop thinking about stealing mine."

"Don't be so stingy. I won't eat that much." Gale complained.

"If you can't finish all, just ask them to bring you a smaller portion." Rain insisted on enjoying the fruits herself.

Luke listened to their conversation. He was not worried that the two of them fighting with each other would affect their job. They were professionals.

Gale told him that Matysh was having a great night last night. That was why he was sure Matysh was still in bed.

Luke pressed the elevator button. There was a woman standing in the elevator.

Luke frowned when he saw the weariness on the woman's face. He entered the elevator and closed the door.

The woman who was in the elevator looked similar to Luca...

However, when he looked closely at her, he noticed that her eyes looked similar to Luca's, but her looks, body, and aura were nothing like Luca's.

Luke stood at the corner of the elevator, keeping a distance from the woman. He was good at judging someone's character, and he was able to find out what the woman made for a living with just a glance.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2227-Right after Jason left the secretary room, the ladies started gossiping.

Cheryl could not help herself and said, "Mr. Marcos is so nice. They just entertained them for a few days at the boss' order and he invited them for supper? I wonder where they'll go?"

Secretary A immediately continued talking, "The other party is Mr. Marcos. They must be going to a high-end restaurant. Tina is so beautiful. Maybe he wants to confess to her by using the excuse of supper. Imagine if he showed up with flowers and wine! God, she's so lucky."

Cheryl glared at Secretary A. "You're thinking too much. Who would confess to someone during supper? You're watching too many drama series."

Secretary A was annoyed. 'Didn't she start it?'

She looked at Tina and said, "It's hard to say, after all. Mr. Marcos is a busy man. It's possible that he would invite Tina for supper to confess to her. Besides, Mr. Marcos has been here for a while. Maybe he doesn't want to leave any regrets before he has to leave..."

Tina lowered her head to process the documents. She felt helpless and speechless when she heard that they had made up some story.

'We're all Luke's secretaries. Why are they acting like brainless women?'

"Didn't you hear that Mr. Marcos invited the boss and Dr. Craw as well?" She could not help but interrupt their imagination.

Secretary A was stunned.

Tina sounded quite angry, so Secretary A said quickly, "Tina, don't mind us. I didn't think too much about it when I said what I said."

"If you're free, why don't you go to Mr. Doyle's office and see if there are any other documents that need to be processed?" Tina frowned as all the others knew was to gossip about her.

She had nothing that they needed to be jealous of... They ignored the fact that Luke and Luca were also invited. Their gossip was a bad influence on the others...

Tina's words made Secretary A shut up.

Cheryl sneered.

Tina pretended not to hear that. She did not bother to pay any attention to Cheryl and walked out of the secretaries' office with her mug.

When Cheryl saw that, she said to Secretary A, "Moving forward, you need to be careful with your words. She's acting like that because she's interacted with Marcos. Marcos' company is working with ours. She'll only bully us further, so act smart. Don't say anything that shouldn't be said. She wants to act innocent, so let her be."

Secretary A pursed her lips. ‘Cheryl was the one that started it. Why was I scolded?'

Sure enough, juniors were the ones who had to take all the blame.

Secretary B could not help but say, "No way. I think Tina is nice."

Cheryl rolled her eyes at her. She could not stand it when someone said something nice about Tina. "How long have you worked here? Don't be fooled by her appearance."

After she said that, everyone in the secretaries' office kept silent.

After work hours.

Luca sat in Warren's car and returned to the villa.

She was surrounded by the children as usual. She did not see Nina in the living room so she asked the kids, "Where's Aunt Nina?"

"Aunt Nina is upstairs," Rainie said.

"Uncle Percy called her and she didn't want us to listen, so she went upstairs," Tommy added.

Luca nodded. She guessed that Nina had something private to talk to Percy about, so she went upstairs.

She put her briefcase aside and said, "I'll be in the kitchen. Do your homework here. Don't cause any trouble."

"Okay, Ms. Luca." The three children agreed.

Luca went into the kitchen to cook.

With her help, Aunt Neile quickly had dinner ready when Luke was back.

The two worked together to bring the dishes to the table. novelbin

When she noticed that Nina was not downstairs yet, Luca said to Rainie, "Rainie, go upstairs and tell Aunt Nina that it's time for dinner."

"Okay." Rainie obediently walked out of the dining room and headed upstairs.

After she got on the second floor, Rainie saw Nina sitting on the sofa in the living room, video chatting with Percy.

She said, "Aunt Nina, it's time for dinner. Let's go downstairs to eat. After dinner, you can continue chatting with Uncle Percy."

Nina blushed. Although Rainie did not hear what Percy said to her, she became shy. She glared at the person on the other side of the video call and said, "It's all your fault that Rainie needs to come get me for dinner."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. It's because I miss you too much," Percy said dotingly.

Nina immediately looked at Rainie.

The little girl had covered her ears to show that she was not eavesdropping.

"Okay, you cheeky man. I'll head off for dinner now," Nina said shyly.

"Okay, let's talk after dinner." After Percy finished speaking, Nina hung up the call.

She stood up and took Rainie's hand. "Let's go and have some dinner, shall we?"

Rainie nodded, followed her, and asked curiously, "Aunt Nina, do adults say such silly things when they are in love?"

Nina's cheeks turned even redder...

Although Rainie was still a child, Luke's kids would never be stupid.

Nina looked at Rainie's curious eyes and had no choice but to bite the bullet. She said, "I guess so... Sweet words are like desserts. They make the heart feel warm. The sweet taste fills the stomach. Think about it, if the heart is warmed, won't it improve the relationship between two people?"

"Yes, I get it now. Thank you, Aunt Nina." Rainie did not continue to ask further questions but remembered Nina's every word.

After they arrived downstairs, the two sat down.

Luca handed the soup bowl to them and said, "Have some soup first."

"Thank you, thank you. I'll help myself." Nina was embarrassed.

After all, she was a guest. She did not think it was appropriate to have Rainie come get her and Luca to serve her.

Luke took a sip of the soup. "Did you talk to Percy just now?"

"Yes, I'm his fiancee. Isn't it normal to call him?" Nina said with a hint of provocation in her tone.

When she talked to Percy, she tried to understand why he was standing on Luca's side.

However, Percy said that it was Luca and Luke's matter, so even if she was curious, he could not tell her. She should hear it from them when they were ready.

Nina was speechless.

Luke ignored her provocation and asked, "When will Percy be back?"

"I don't know. He only told me to wait for him here to come back." Nina spoke louder when she said the words.

Luke raised his eyebrows and said indifferently. "That's great. Please watch the kids tonight."

Nina glanced at the kids. She was fine taking care of the kids, but Luke's order made her feel like being rebellious. "Aren't they your children?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2228-"I have things to do tonight, and so does Luca," replied Luke. Aunt Neile must be tired after working for the whole day. Nina happened to be here. She could look after the kids so that Aunt Neile could get off work on time.

Nina narrowed her eyes. She was willing to look after the kids, but she became reluctant once those words came out of Luke's mouth.

If Luca was the one who asked her to help, Nina would be happy to do so. After all, the kids were well- behaved, and it would not be difficult to take care of them.

“What are you doing tonight?” Nina asked.

Luca heard Nina and looked at Luke. Why did she not know that she had something to do tonight?

Luke did not look at Nina. Instead, he looked at Luca and explained, “Marcos invited us and Tina for supper tonight.”

“Oh, Mr. Marcos invited us...” Luca nodded, but she had no idea about it before that.

"Fine," Nina mumbled in dissatisfaction.

Tommy raised his right hand as he would during classes and asked, "Daddy, I'd love to have supper too. Can I go with you?"

“No.” Luke rejected him heartlessly.

“Why?” Tommy was unconvinced. Was having supper something only adults could do?

"We'll be talking about work," Luke told him the reason.

“Children aren’t allowed to join. Besides, Daddy and Ms. Luca will be coming home late. You’re a sleepy head. You’ll get sleepy,” Lanie added. Lanie and Rainie were often brought along by Luke to attend business dinners when they were young. They knew how boring it was. Lanie and Rainie were not like Tommy, who wanted to follow Luke to business dinners.

It was boring!

Tommy had no choice but to put his hand down. He pouted and replied, "I'd like to grow up quickly and become an adult. That way, I can have lots of suppers too."

Luca leaned against him on his back and listened to him. She could not help but titter at his words.

Children were always looking forward to growing up when they were young, but when they grew up, they would realize that being a child was way better.

Luca asked for nothing and only hoped that Luke could have a bright future and live a peaceful life, while the kids could grow up happily and healthily.

That way, all the suffering that she went through would be worth it.

After Tommy stopped making a fuss, Lanie looked at Nina and called her, “Ms. Nina."

“Yes? What's the matter?" Nina looked at Lanie's handsome face. People always said that a son usually resembled his mother, but Luke's genes were stronger, so Lanie resembled him a lot. Although Nina was not a big fan of Luke, she was still fond of Lanie.

After all, who would not like a good and obedient child?

“Please take care of my brother later," said Lanie politely. Tommy was the one who needed someone to look after him the most. Lanie and Rainie were well-disciplined. They always followed their schedule and they knew what to do.

“Okay. I owe your father and you too." Nina smiled and agreed to it.

After dinner, it was almost time to go out. Luke brought Luca along with him, and they left the house together.

When they were in the car, Luca asked, “Mr. Crawford, where's the place Mr. Marcos invited us to?"

Luke set the navigation, glanced at the destination, and replied, “Uncle Roger's food stall."

"Uncle Roger's... food stall?" Luca was slightly surprised. She thought Marcos would invite her to a fancy restaurant for supper. She did not expect it to be a food stall.

Luca had heard about Uncle Roger's food stall before. The owner came from another city, and his business there was booming. His children came to A City to further their studies, so the whole family moved here and opened another food stall. The food was so good and the locals loved it.

However, no matter how good the food was, it was incomparable to the environment in fancy restaurants. That was why she was surprised Marcos would choose to have supper at a food stall.

Luke could see that Luca was surprised, so he said, “I heard that Tina and you have been looking for restaurants that serve authentic local specialties when you were entertaining them."

"Yes. Mr. Marcos was interested in the local specialties here. After Tina found out about it, she started to make arrangements. Not only was he interested in local specialties, but he was also interested in the old tourist attractions and buildings here," answered Luca. After Luca was reminded about it, it came to her that it was understandable that Marcos invited them to have supper at a food stall.

“Yes. Tina reported it to me," said Luke. Tina would report to him about Marcos' schedule every day.

Although the places Tina arranged were a little humble, most of them were Marcos' requests. That was why he did not say anything about it.

It was until Marcos asked him to help him to look for his mother that Luke knew the places Marcos went had something to do with his parents.

Luca gently nodded. She was not surprised at all. After all, Tina was attentive and responsible. Hence, she would report everything to Luke in detail.

After that, they arrived near Uncle Roger's food stall. The parking lots were limited, so Luke found a parking space nearby within a kilometer from the food stall.

Luca climbed out of the car and looked at the few luxury cars that were parked there. She knew they all came for the famous food stall.

It was a food stall, after all. The prices of the dishes were affordable. Even though the business was good, the owner would make less if he chose a better location that cost a higher rental fee.

That was why the location of the food stall was considered remote, and the location was not ideal for business. However, it was fortunate that the food stall was famous and they were always full of customers.

Still, it seemed to be putting those who drove here with a sedan car in a difficult position, just like Luke.

They had to park their car a kilometer away from the food stall and walk there.

Although the snow had stopped falling, it was still cold out there. Luca headed to the sidewalk and waited for Luke to get out of the car.

It was icy-cold, and Luca rubbed her hands.

Luke got out of the car carrying a big coat in his hands. He walked toward Luca, draped the coat over her shoulders, and said, "It's cold. Put it on."

Luca was wearing a coat, but she did not expect Marcos to invite them to a food stall. Hence, the coat she wore could only keep her warm for a while on such a cold night. After all, she thought they would be meeting in a restaurant and there were heaters in the restaurant.

Even though there were heaters at the food stall, the coat she put on was still not warm enough.

Fortunately, Luke came prepared...

"Mr. Crawford, what about you.." Luca wondered if he could keep himself warm if he gave her the coat.

"I'm warm," said Luke. He chose to put on something that could keep him warm after he knew where Marcos invited them to.

Luca glanced at the coat he wore and looked at the men's coat draped over her shoulder. The long coat had almost reached her leg calves.

Luke held her hand and said, "Let's go. Marcos and Tina are already here."

"Okay," Luca thought of pulling her hand away, but Luke gripped it so tightly that she would not be able to withdraw her hand without using some of her strength. novelbin

However, it seemed like Luke did not want her to pull her hand away.

Luca had no choice but to let him hold her hand.

Uncle Roger's food stall was located beside a two-lane road. Hence, it was easier to walk on the road. When the two of them arrived at the food stall, they saw Tina waving at them. She said, "Boss, Dr. Craw, we're here."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2229-Marcos and Andy, the two foreign people, were sitting at the table. Even if Tina did not wave at them, they were able to see where they were sitting with just a glance.

Luke held Luca's hand and walked toward them. Then, they sat on the humble-looking red-colored plastic chairs.

Tina saw the two of them were holding hands, and she also noticed that the coat draped over Luca's shoulders was a men's coat. Even so, she did not say anything. It was as though she did not see it.

After the two of them sat down, Marcos smiled and handed the menu to Luke. “Mr. Crawford, here's the menu."

Luke glanced at the paper clipped onto the menu. They had already placed their orders, and they had ordered many dishes. Luke did not choose anything. Instead, he lowered his head and asked Luca, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"These will be fine..." Luca replied and shook her head.

She did not have the habit of eating supper at night, and she was not feeling hungry after having dinner.

Luke put the menu down on the table when he heard Luca say that, then he said, "Mr. Marcos, these will be enough."

"Mr. Crawford, don't be shy. Ms. Tina recommended these dishes to us. These are the signatures and they taste good," replied Marcos. He picked up the cup of tea and took a sip of the warm tea. The tea leaves they used to make tea were of poor quality, but drinking such tea at the food stall was kind of interesting.

Marcos liked living in a metropolis like A City.

It had the prosperity and bright lights of a big city with old memories hidden in street alleys. All sorts of people would be able to find suitable places for them to spend their time there. It was different from the capital of Russia.

"I believe in what Tina says," replied Luke. He had no other comments on the dishes she ordered.

Luca was amazed while listening to the conversation between them.

After all, one of them was Luke Crawford, while the other one was Marcos Abaza. They were big shots in the business world, but they did not feel out of place when they were sitting at a food stall beside the road.

It was the winter season now. There were no tables or chairs outside the food stall. Hence, there were only a few tables in the shop. The old air conditioner kept blowing out warm air, but as people were going in and out of the shop, it could not actually be considered warm inside.

However, Luca felt warm because she had Luke's coat on her.

Marcos turned to look at Luca and suddenly asked, “Ms. Craw, have you been okay for the past few days?"

"I'm fine," Luca replied with a faint smile on her face. She knew exactly why Marcos asked her that question.

It was because of Matysh...

Luca was not afraid of him. No matter how many people Matysh had on his side, she felt assured as long as Luke was beside her.

It was probably because Luca trusted him, but Luca thought that it was not something bad either.

Marcos noticed that Luca's gaze had fallen on Luke for a moment when she was answering his question. There was a faint smile on Marcos' face. He thought it was interesting.

Luke had a wife, but the woman standing beside him was not his wife.

At least, she looked completely different from the photo shown on the information he received.

Marcos acknowledged himself as a person with a sensible and good outlook on life. Although his reaction was not as extreme when they were talking about topics such as mistresses and affairs, he was not impressed with married men who fooled around with other women.

Usually, he would not work with men like them. He would feel disgusted when he saw these men interacting with their mistresses.

However, Marcos did not feel disgusted when he saw Luke and Luca. It was as though he was looking at a true couple. There was nothing secretive going on between them.

Luca noticed that Marcos was shifting his gaze from her to Luke and back to her. She could not help but ask, "I wonder why you invited us out for supper this time, Mr. Marcos?"

Marcos grinned. His blue eyes were gleaming under the lights of the food stall. Then, he said, "I'm going back to Russia in two days. So, I wanted to treat everyone to a meal before I leave. I appreciate everything you've arranged for me while I'm here."

Luca was surprised. Marcos was going back, so Matysh.

Marcos seemed to read Luca's mind, so he continued, "I'm going back alone."

Luca was a little disappointed. Marcos was going back, but Matysh would still be here. The threat had not been gotten rid of yet.

Luca felt troubled. What was so good about her that made her get into such trouble so often? Furthermore, it seemed like Luke was involved too.

She looked at Marcos, then glanced at Luke. It seemed like they were on good terms. She had no idea what they had discussed before this. How could they be so friendly with each other.

"You're leaving?" Luke was a little surprised. He thought Marcos would be staying here for a few more days.

Although he had already sent his men to look for Marcos' mother, it was not easy to find someone who had been missing for more than 20 years.

That was why there was no news about her.

Fortunately, Marcos' mother was Russian.

There were only a few foreign people who stayed in A City 20 years ago. Luke believed that there would be news about his mother soon.

"There's tons of work that I have to handle back home. I'm glad you can help me with the affairs here. I don't have to worry about that. That's why I have to go back and deal with the matters there. Besides, things will be much more difficult for you if I'm here," replied Marcos.

Tina listened to their conversation, and she knew there was something that she should not know about. She quickly rose to her feet and said, “Mr. Crawford, Mr. Marcos, may I know what you'd like to drink? Let me get the drinks for you.”

"Mr. Crawford, would you like to have beer? I heard that the beer sold in food stalls tastes different. Drinking beer with some side dishes sounds like a great idea," Marcos asked.

"Sure," replied Luke. Since Luca came with him, she could drive even if he drank a little.

If Luca refused to drive, he could call a designated driver too.

Marcos smiled and said to Luca, "Ms. Tina, we'll have beer, then. Ms. Luca, feel free to drink anything you like."

"I'm fine with water," Luca said to Tina.

Tina nodded and ordered a few cans of beer at room temperature.

After Tina left, Marcos spoke in Russian, "Mr. Crawford, your employees are outstanding."

"So are yours," Luke replied in Russian. "If you confirm that you're leaving and Matysh will be alone here, I'm going to do what we discussed earlier."

"Things will be easier for you once I leave. Besides, if something happens to him when I'm still here, I'm the one who'll get blamed for it." There was a sinister trace lurking in Marcos' eyes. Hatred had been growing in his heart ever since he read his mother's handwritten letter.

It was the hatred he had for Matysh and his family.

That was why he allowed Luke to do whatever he wanted to Matysh. He did not think it was a problem even if Matysh's dead body ended up coming back to Russia. novelbin

Hatred could blind his eyes and drown the kinship that was left in his heart.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2230-After supper, Luca and Luke left together. Luke had drunk some beer, so Luca was the one who drove the car.

Marcos and Andy got into Lliam's car.

Marcos leaned back on the chair to rest after drinking a few cans of beer.

Andy picked up his phone and glanced at it, then reported to Marcos, “Boss, everyone in the company already knows that you'll be going back soon."

"Okay." Marcos kept his eyes closed.

That would mean Matysh also knew about it.

There had always been the old master's and Matysh's subordinates in the company. The purpose of doing that was simple. It was to keep an eye on Marcos and to see if he had any motive fo taking over the company.

Marcos thought it was nothing even though these people were watching him. After all, everything he did was for the sake of the company. Hence, he had never done anything wrong to this family and the company. No matter how they watched him and reported everything he did, it would not affect him either.

However, now...

The gloominess in Marcos' eyes was building up. Although there was hatred in his heart, he was not planning to fire all those men who were keeping an eye on him.

He would alert his enemies if he did that. Keeping those people in the company might make it hard for him to do his things and it would be inconvenient for him to carry out his plans, but he could use them.

It was just like now.

It had only been five minutes since Andy reported to Marcos when Marcos' phone vibrated at this moment.

Marcos opened his eyes. There was a mysterious trace of an enigma in his eyes. He looked at his phone and answered the call. "What's the matter?"

"Where have you been?" Matysh frowned with one of his hands around Mandy's waist, while the other hand held his phone.

"I'm still outside. I was hungry, so I came out to get supper." Marcos stared deeply outside the window as the city lights, which were reflected in his eyes.

He had never hated someone so much in his life.

Matysh...

Marcos swore that he would make Matysh pay the price for what he did before.

Matysh was unhappy, and he spoke in a commanding voice, “I want you back in the hotel now."

"That'll take 20 minutes," Marcos' tone was calm as usual. However, it sounded much colder and more distant than before.

Still, Matysh did not care about Marcos. That was why he did not notice the changes in his tone.

“Hurry up." Matysh hung up the call impatiently.

Mandy could sense that Matysh was angry through his tone. She had no idea what happened to him. He flew into a rage after making a call. It was terrifying.

Mandy was smart enough not to ask anything about it. As she watched Matysh pick up his cigar, she picked up the lighter and fell into his arms. She helped him to light the cigar.

On the other hand.

Marcos put down his phone.

Andy asked, "Boss, was it Mr. Matysh who called?"

"Yes," Marcos nodded. The reason he asked Andy to spread the news was to let Matysh and the old master know about it in advance.

Marcos needed to head back to work, and that was why he had to return to Russia.

Andy remained silent. Even though Andy did not place his ear near the phone, he could still sense that Matysh was furious.

Why was he mad?

It was because he would be alone here if Marcos went back. No one would be there to help him run his errands.

Matysh had always been treated like a king when he was in Russia. He had maids and servants to help him do everything at home. Now that Marcos was going back, there were so many things Matysh had yet to get used to.

That was why he lost his temper.

Andy secretly felt sorry for Marcos. He had been helping his enemy to do things the entire time. He might seem calm now, but.

There was a raging storm in his heart.

Lliam brought them back to the hotel safely.

Marcos did not return to his suite. He headed to Matysh's suite and pressed the doorbell.

A woman came to open the door. Marcos frowned when he saw the woman's face.

The woman had a pair of eyes that looked like Luca's. Andy, who was standing behind Marcos, said, "Boss, she's Mr. Matysh's guest. She was here yesterday too.."

The so-called guest he meant was the courtesan.

Marcos knew it deep in his heart. However, judging from Matysh's personality, he would find different courtesans every day. He never slept with the same woman.

He would not sleep with the same woman no matter how beautiful the courtesan was.

Those who could stay by his side long enough had never worked as courtesans before.

Marcos looked at the woman in front of him, thinking how interesting it was. He could see how much Matysh wanted Luca.

Let Matysh have such thoughts in his mind. The greater his greed was, the harder he would fall.

“Who are you looking for?" The moment Mandy saw Marcos, her eyes brightened up. This man was so good-looking. He was young and classy. She was fond of such men.

"I'm looking for someone inside," replied Marcos. The woman in front of him was looking at him with greedy eyes. He did not like the way she looked at him, but he thought it was good that this kind of woman approached Matysh.

After all, the greedier the woman was, the more she could push Matysh into the dark abyss.

It was just that this woman looked like Luca. Hence, he had to remind Luke that the yearning Matysh felt for Luca was exceptionally strong to the point that he even found himself a substitute.

"Oh, you came to see Mr. Matysh. He went to get a bottle of wine. Come in." Mandy pushed the door open and watched Marcos walk into the suite.

Matysh walked out carrying a bottle of red wine in his hands. He frowned and asked when he saw Marcos, "I heard that you're going back to Russia soon?"

"Yes. I'll probably leave tomorrow or the day after," answered Marcos. He stood there, not planning to take a seat.

He refused to sit in the places Matysh had sat before. It was dirty to him.

Mandy's eyes brightened when she heard their conversation. Matysh was Marcos' uncle!

That would mean Marcos had a share of Matysh's wealth. It was a pity that such a handsome man would not be staying here any longer.

She would not have the chance to get to know him more. She had already missed the chance this morning.

Matysh did not say anything when Marcos refused to sit down. He frowned and asked, "What am I supposed to do here when you're back there?"

"I've already made arrangements for your suite with the hotel staff. I'll be covering all the expenses. If there's anything you need, just call the hotel staff to get it for you. Besides, I've already found you a chauffeur who knows how to speak Russian. He'll stay put at the hotel so that he'll always be ready to give you a ride whenever you need one," Marcos explained that he already had everything arranged.

Matysh was dissatisfied and asked, "What about the previous chauffeur?"

Changing a chauffeur meant changing another vehicle. He would not be able to get to sit in that Rolls- Royce anymore.

Matysh was unwilling to change the chauffeur because he thought only such a luxurious car was good enough for his honorable status.

"That chauffeur works for T Corporation. They only assigned him to me for a few days during my stay here. I'm leaving soon, so the chauffeur will have to go back and report to his own boss," explained Marcos.
