Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2351-However, if Anna let Jean spend the money lavishly, it would only take a while for them to spend 2.5 million dollars.

Nina and Percy had done everything they could for them. It was up to Anna how she would spend the rest of her life...

She could choose to spoil her son or keep a close eye on her money..

“Stop thinking about them. Think about our future." Percy lifted his hand and gently smoothened out her furrowed brows.

Nina just realized that she would still be worried about Anna.

"Did you hear what I told her?" Nina asked.

"Yes." Percy had been standing at the door. That was why he had heard their conversation.

Percy initially thought of telling Nina that he was going back to attend a meeting, but his assistant called him when he was on his way, claiming that the other party had something else to do. Hence, the meeting was postponed to the afternoon.

Although Nina had Luca by her side, Percy was still worried about her. Thus, he made a detour and headed back to the hospital.

Percy asked the nurse and found out Jean’s ward number. When he arrived at the door, he heard the noises that came from inside. That was when he heard their conversation.

Nina let out a sigh. She wanted to know what Percy thought about it. Hence, she asked, "Do you think I’m a horrible person after you heard what I said.."

"Why would I find you horrible? My wife is the prettiest, cutest, most kind-hearted little fairy." Percy held Nina in his arms, saying sweet little things he had never said to her before.

If it was in the past, he would never have believed that he would say something like that to her.

"Stop being silly." Nina listened to his sweet talk while leaning against his chest. She listened to his heartbeat. She could not help but tease him, "I even mentioned chopping one's arms and legs off. But you're saying that I'm pretty and kind-hearted? I don't think there's anything wrong with it even if you call me a witch."

"That’s not true. I think what you said makes sense," replied Percy.

"Does that make sense? Why don’t you tell me about it?" Nina wanted to see what Percy would say.

"A kind person would lend a hand to the handicapped. They’d even be willing to support them for the rest of their life. Tell me, if that’s not kindness, then what is it?" Percy pinched Nina’s jaw and teased her.

Nina sat up straight and said helplessly, “You win. I realize that you'll always think about what I'll say next when you say something. That's why you can shut me up."

"No. What I said was reasonable. Being reasonable can shut someone's mouth. Wifey, is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Percy smiled and said.

"We're not married yet," Nina rolled her eyes at him.

"Your family accepted the dowry. You're mine now," replied Percy. It was fine if Nina refused to admit it. It was just a matter of time.

"I'm not arguing with you. Send me back to my office." Nina smiled.

"Okay. Let's have lunch together at the restaurant below your office," said Percy as he started the car engine and left.

Nina glanced at the time, only to realize that it was almost noontime...

She had unconsciously spent all morning just dealing with Jean's matter.

Luca said that Jean would wake up in two hours. Nina believed that. Hence, looking at the time now, Jean should be waking up soon.

However, it did not matter whether Jean woke up or not. She had nothing to do with him anymore.

In the ward.

Anna took the money and her public services card. She headed to the hospital's ATM.

She asked the hospital's security guard to escort her. Then, she deposited all the cash into her card.

The public services card was linked to banks nowadays. Therefore, it could be used as a bank card. There was a reason why Percy had asked Nina to return Anna her card.

Another reason was that they had nothing to do with each other anymore. That was why Nina did not have to help Anna to keep her card.

Anna smiled satisfyingly when she looked at the numbers on the ATM. She turned around and said to the caretaker, "Come on, let's go back to my son's ward. I have to look after him."

The caretaker looked at Anna with confusion.

How could she be so happy when she had just severed ties with her daughter?

Two million dollars in exchange for severing ties with a family member. After Anna deposited the money, she only thought about Jean.

The caretaker was truly unable to understand her.

Nina was the one who had been taking care of Anna when she was sick and in bed for such a long time. Although Nina did not look after her, she had done everything else. The caretaker had looked after many patients before. It was rare to see someone as filial as Nina.

Besides, the caretaker could see that it was Anna who started all the fights with Nina. Nina was the innocent one.

Giving up a filial daughter and favoring her son, Jean, who only came to the hospital to ask for money. The caretaker could not understand what Anna was thinking about.

Anna narrowed her eyes and asked when she saw the caretaker standing still there. "Why are you standing there?"

The caretaker came back to her senses and caught up with Anna.

Then, Anna said, "I'm rich now. Tell the doctor that I'm getting discharged tomorrow. I don't know how much longer my son is going to stay here. I'll leave him to you to look after. Just take care of him until the doctor says he can get discharged from the hospital."

Anna only roughly heard what Nina said. That was why she had no idea about Jean's condition now. She did not manage to ask the doctor yet.

Anna was hoping that Jean's condition was not that serious. That way, he could get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Moreover, she did not have to spend so much money on Jean's medical expenses. She knew the hospital's rules. She would have to pay 20,000 dollars when it was confirmed that Jean had to be admitted to the hospital. The 20,000 dollars did not include surgery fees. If Jean did not go for the surgery, the money would be able to last for some time.

"Okay..." replied the caretaker. As long as she got paid, it did not matter who she was taking care of.

Anna returned to Jean's ward.

The patient who was next to Jean's ward bed came back, and he was sitting on his bed.

He saw Anna walking in and asked, "Where's your daughter?"

"I don't have a daughter," Anna rolled her eyes at him and answered in a cold voice. She thought that this person was nosy.

Besides, why did he have to mention this? If Anna knew Percy was outside the ward earlier, she would have asked for three million dollars.

The man did not say anything more.

Anna said to the caretaker, "Look after my son. I'm going to look for the doctor and find out what his condition is."

"Okay." The caretaker pulled a chair and walked toward the ward bed. Then, she sat on the chair, staring at Jean.

Anna found out that Jean was not seriously injured after asking the doctor about his condition. It was just a minor bone fracture. Although he fractured many of his bones, there was no need to perform surgery on him. Hence, everything was fine.

Jean had to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, then he would be able to get discharged from the hospital.

Anna was delighted. She returned to Jean's ward.

The caretaker saw Anna walking in and said, "Ms. Anna, he's awake."

"Awake?" Anna hurried over and looked at Jean, who was lying on the bed. There were a few teardrops streaming down her cheek. "My son, you're finally awake."

"Mom, why are you here?" Jean was still feeling dizzy. He closed his eyes again when he saw Anna dashing toward him.

"You've been admitted to the hospital. How could I not be here to take a look at you? Do you really believe that your mother is a heartless person?" Anna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes while looking at how flustered Jean was. It hurt her heart, making it throb.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2352-Anna was wiping her tears beside the ward bed and looking at Jean, who said nothing. She thought Jean was in pain, so she asked in a worried tone, “Are you in pain? Let me ask the doctor to come over and give you an injection for the pain.

After that, Anna pressed the patient call bell beside the bed.

Jean did not stop her. He closed his eyes and recalled what had happened yesterday.

Jean was beaten up by Cobra. His body felt weak, and he could not find where his phone was. There was no way he could ask for help. He ended up sleeping beside a pile of trash.

He was in pain and freezing at that time. Slowly, he began to feel drowsy and fell asleep. He forgot what happened next.

Anna's face came into sight when he opened his eyes.

There was no memory of what had happened to him in between...

The nurse walked into Jean's ward when she heard the patient call bell. She asked, "What's wrong with Patient No. 1?"

"He's awake," answered the caretaker.

"Okay. Let me call the doctor," replied the nurse. She went out and called Jean's attending physician to come over.

The doctor gave Jean a preliminary examination and found out that Jean was fine. Then, he asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It hurts. I'm feeling a little dizzy," Jean replied weakly.

The doctor picked up Jean's medical report, glanced at it to confirm, and said, "You have minor bone fractures all over your body. They were caused by getting beaten up. It'll definitely hurt. Did those people hit your head when they were beating you up?"

"I forgot." Jean felt embarrassed for being asked such a question in front of so many people.

"According to the test results, there's no sign of bleeding in your brain, so I assume that it's just a concussion. It's normal to feel dizzy. Do press the bell and call the nurse if you feel very dizzy," said the doctor as he placed the report back to where it was.

Anna looked at the doctor in surprise and asked, "Is that all? Aren't you giving him any medications or injections?" "It's stated in the records that he was already given some IV fluids when he was in the emergency room. If he can't stand the pain, I can give him some painkillers," replied the doctor.

“Please give him the painkillers. It breaks my heart to see him like this." Anna felt sorry for Jean.

The doctor nodded and said, "The nurse will arrange for it later."

Jean opened his eyes again after the doctor left. An ominous cloud hovered over him.

He did not expect Cobra to be so heartless. He even got his men to fracture his bones. That was why he did not even have the strength to stand up last night...

"Son, are you feeling better now?" Anna looked at him worryingly.

Anna repeated her words over and over again as she was worried about him. It made Jean feel annoyed. Jean looked at Anna, who was still in her hospital gown, and said impatiently, "Mom, aren't you still sick? Don't worry about me. Go back to your ward."

Anna replied, "I'm fine. I'm telling the doctor that I'm getting discharged tomorrow."

Jean was surprised and asked, "You're getting discharged?"

Previously, she refused to get discharged from the hospital just because she could get more money from Nina. The doctor had told her that she could go home and recuperate her health. There was no need to continue to stay in the hospital and spend the money.

However, Anna refused to listen to him. She did whatever it took for her to stay in the hospital.

Now that Anna was getting discharged from the hospital, would she be able to find more excuses to ask for money from Nina?

"Mom, that b*tch must be happy to hear that. She doesn't have to give you so much money anymore," replied Jean. He disagreed with Anna wanting to get discharged from the hospital.

"It's okay if she doesn't want to give me any money. I've got money now. I don't need her alms and sympathy," said Anna. She held a glass of water. After she wet a cotton swab, she gently applied it to Jean's dry lips.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Your pension isn't enough for us. We'll run out of money just from buying your medications every month," said Jean. If Jean was not feeling uncomfortable now, he really wanted to sit up straight and see what had gotten into Anna's head. "Where's Nina? I'm admitted to the hospital. Why isn't she here?"

"It's better that she's not here. I'll just assume that I've never had a daughter like Nina. You too. Just pretend that you never had a younger sister," Anna said delightfully.

The caretaker took the chance to roll her eyes when the two of them did not notice her.

Sure enough, Anna did not even want to acknowledge her daughter after taking the money. There were no other words that could best describe Anna. She was just greedy as f*ck.

However, there was another sentence that could describe her. She could go as far as to not acknowledge her daughter for the sake of money.

"Are you out of your mind? How am I supposed to live if Nina doesn't give you money? No way. I have to ask Nina to come here," Jean struggled to get out of bed, thinking that Anna must be out of her mind.

There was no doubt that Anna was worried about spending too much money if she got discharged from the hospital.

Jean had to pay a few thousand dollars for his medical bills. He became furious at the thought of getting beaten up because of a few thousand dollars. If he had money, he would have kicked their *sses for what he had suffered today.

"You're the one who's out of your mind. Lay down," Anna quickly pressed him down on the bed when she saw Jean getting up.

Anna glanced at the patient beside them and lowered her voice to tell Jean that she had severed ties with Nina, and Percy gave her 2.5 million dollars for it.

Jean widened his eyes and said, "Did he really..."

Realizing that there were other patients in the ward, Jean paused for a moment and said, "Did he really give us that much money?"

"Yes. I've deposited the money into my bank account. The two of us can live comfortably without Nina now," Anna smiled and said. She was not even feeling upset when she mentioned Nina.

It was as though Nina was not her biological daughter.

"How could you agree to it even if it's a lot of money? We'll run out of money if we spend it," Jean thought that even though 2.5 million dollars sounded a lot, it was not enough for him to spend.

Jean wanted to start a business. 2.5 million dollars was probably not enough for him.

"What are you thinking? I'm going to deposit the money into the bank and invest it. We'll profit from the monthly returns. Coupled with my pension, it'll be enough for the two of us." Anna had it all planned.

They could earn a lot in a month if Anna invested the money.

They owned a house, and with Anna's pension, she would be able to support Jean even if he refused to work.

Jean narrowed his eyes and realized that Anna would not give him the money easily for him to start a business.

Hence, Jean could not mention it to her now.

Otherwise, Anna would be even determined to watch over that sum of money.

Jean smiled. He was no longer in pain all of a sudden, and he said, "Yes. That's great. Even if the two of you have signed the contract, the law isn't going to acknowledge such contracts about cutting off ties with family. We can continue to ask for money from Nina in the future."

"Why should I ask for her money when I'm rich? Am I crazy?" said Anna. She had enough of asking Nina for money every day.

Nina acted like someone who gave alms to Anna when she gave her the money.

Now that Anna was rich, she felt that she could lift her head proudly now. She never thought about where she got the money from.

Jean was thrown into confusion when he looked at how delighted Anna was. Although Jean had gotten into prison before, he had read many books too. He knew that such a contract lacked legal recognition.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2355-Although Luke had arranged for a translator to be by her side, Allison could cause less trouble when she was in a country she did not speak the language of.

However, the hospital could only hold Allison for a few months only.

Allison replied with dissatisfaction, "Other countries? I heard that Seoul has the world's best plastic surgery technology. Are you thinking of sending me to a different country? The farther the better? It's just like how you treated Bianca, huh? You sent her abroad and found a new girlfriend for yourself. Why? Are you trying to do the same thing to me so that you can acknowledge Susan as your biological mother?"

Allison had seen their so-called family photo. Susan had sent it to her to show off.

It was as though Susan was dropping her a hint that her son was no longer hers.

Allison was pissed when she saw the family photo. If it were not for the nurses who stopped her, she might have smashed everything on the floor.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Luke was disgusted with Allison's tone.

She sounded like a shrew cursing someone.

“Perhaps you think I have no idea that all of you took a so-called family photo on Susan's birthday. Luke, I'm the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, but you took a family photo with someone else's mother. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” A wave of fury rose inside her as she mentioned this. “You ungrateful bastard. That's why you sent Bianca abroad so you can cuddle with your mistress on the bed, huh? Do you think I don't know any of these things? I know everything!”

Susan was the one who told her all this.

Susan did not do that with good intentions. It seemed like she was showing off to her.

Luke, whom others called a loyal and faithful man, had a mistress. How embarrassing!

Luke knitted his brows together. He did not want to ask her who told her about these. Those who told Allison about it must have wanted to make things difficult for him.

Luke hung up the call.

Allison called again. Luke answered and said, “I don't have all day to talk nonsense with you. I'll arrange for you to transfer to another hospital and it'll still be in Seoul.”

He ended the call as soon as he finished talking.

Since Allison wanted to transfer to another hospital and stay in Seoul at the same time, then he would let her get what she wanted. There was no need for her to head to other countries. He would not have to make so many arrangements for her either.

Luca and Johann had told him before that the wrinkles on Allison's face were irreversible. Getting plastic surgery would not make her look youthful again.

That was why the professional doctors could only give her medical treatment.

However, Allison insisted on having surgery. She wanted to bear the pain she did not have to suffer, so Luke would just fulfill her wish.

Luke picked up the intercom phone with a gloomy face. He pressed a number, then the call was put through. He said, "Come to my office."

After a while, Jason knocked on his door. He walked into his office after getting Luke's permission.

He was startled for a moment when he saw Luke's gloomy expression. Who had offended their boss?

Was it Luca?

Luke said, “Do you still have the file of the rankings of the most popular plastic surgery hospitals in the world that I asked you to sort out the last time?”

"Yes, Boss," replied Jason. No matter what document it was, as long as it was Luke who asked him to sort it out, Jason would keep it for a year even if it had nothing to do with the company. It was to prevent him from sorting out the information again if Luke needed it in the future.

"Pick one plastic surgery hospital in Seoul. Then, contact the translator who's with Allison and ask her to help Allison with the hospital transfer procedures," Luke instructed. He was not planning to do this himself.

Allison was no longer worthy of Luke wasting his time on her.

Jason immediately understood that Allison was the one who had gotten on Luke's nerves.

He still remembered the list of plastic surgery hospitals, "Boss, I remember that there's only one plastic surgery hospital in Seoul on the top 10 list. Are you sure you want her to be transferred to another hospital in Seoul? The rankings of the other hospitals are probably not that high."

"It doesn't matter as long as it's in Seoul," replied Luke. He was not the one who chose Seoul. It was Allison's decision.

Since she was worried that she would be sent to countries farther away and she would not be able to come back, then Luke might as well give her what she wanted.

Many were guessing that the reason why Bianca was not coming back to the country was not that she refused to come back but that she could not. Even Allison thought so too.

Was that even possible?

Luke had only made it mandatory for Leia to stay abroad, disallowing her to come back.

However, if Bianca was truly living abroad, would he be able to stop her?

It was only a matter of buying a flight ticket if she wanted to return. How could an adult not have the money to get a flight ticket?

Allison was truly making wild guesses.

The real Bianca was right beside him, but the others who knew nothing about it were coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. However, they dared not to talk about these because of his social status.

"Okay. I'll arrange it immediately," answered Jason. Then, he walked out of Luke's office. Although Luke did not tell him why, Jason already got it right.

Allison was a pain in the neck.

Allison's face was ruined, but she was trying to restore it. She was stupid and naive...

Jason frowned. He returned to his office and opened the related file. He found the second top plastic surgery hospital in Seoul according to the order. Then, he contacted the translator.

He only had to tell the translator the hospital's name and she would be able to handle the rest.

After Allison got transferred to another hospital, Luke never received a call from her again.

Two days later, Luke received a message from the translator.

The translator told him that Allison requested the hospital to perform the facelift surgery on her. She wanted to smoothen out the wrinkles on her face.

The plastic surgery hospital told her that they could perform the surgery, but the expenses were slightly higher. That was why the translator came to ask for Luke's opinion.

After all, she heard that the plastic surgeons expert in their country told them that it was not recommended. Although Allison came to Seoul, the chances of getting the surgery were still low. After all, the plastic surgery technology in their country was as good as the ones abroad. Many surgeries based on certain areas of the face had emerged in their country's plastic surgery technology now. They could not even be found abroad.

Why could she do it abroad when it was not recommended in their country?

Luke stared at the message. The translator sent another one to him before he could reply to her message.

[Mr. Crawford, I think this hospital isn't that reliable. Ms. Tanner's facial condition isn't doing well now, but the hospital still wants to perform the surgery. What do you think? Do I have to stop her?]

[No. Let her do whatever she wants.] Luke replied to her. He would let Allison have it her own way.

He had nothing to do with it if the situation worsened.

After a while, the translator said: [Okay. Ms. Tanner wants me to talk to the hospital staff now. She wants to talk about the details of the surgery.]

[It's her face. Let her do whatever makes her happy.] Luke put on a thick coat after that.

Today was Saturday. He had made an appointment with the photo studio for a photoshoot session. He would have to go shopping with Luca.

It was a family day that he was looking forward to. He was not planning to let Allison ruin his day.

After Luke changed his clothes, he walked out of his bedroom. Luca happened to be walking out of her bedroom at the same time either.

She smiled at him when she saw Luke in his casual clothes and said, “Mr. Crawford, the kids are waiting downstairs.”

After the kids found out that they were having a photoshoot session today, they were exhilarated. Tommy refused to sleep when they were going to bed last night. He said that he was too excited.

Then, Luca said to him, "If you don't get a good night's sleep, you'll have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow. You're not going to look good in the photos if you have those under your eyes." That was when Tommy finally went to bed willingly.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2356-“Okay. Let's go." Luke held Luca's hand. They were about to make their way down the stairs.

Luca paused. She gently withdrew her hand, shook her head, and said, "Go."

She was worried that the kids would feel uncomfortable if they saw her being too close to Luke.

After all, they already had a mother. If they saw their father holding another woman's hand, what would they think about it?

The kids were attentive. Luca did not want them to have such negative thoughts.

Even though she slept with Luke every night, the kids were already asleep at that hour. They would not see them sleeping together. That was why Luca did not say anything about it.

However, every time she woke up earlier, she would carefully close the door. That way, the kids would not enter her bedroom without her permission.

Luke knew something was holding her back. He felt helpless as there was nothing he could do about it.

The kids had found out that Luca was their mother earlier than he did, but Luca was still being extra careful. She had scruples over the tiniest matters.

Luke heaved a sigh. He listened to her and made his way down the stairs.

The three kids were sitting on the sofa, waiting for them. They rose to their feet when they saw them coming downstairs. They could not hide the happy expressions on their faces.

Even Lanie, who was usually cool, put a smile on his face.

“Daddy, can we go now?" Tommy asked.

"Yes," answered Luke. He looked at Aunt Neile and said, "Aunt Neile, come with us."

"Mr. Crawford, why am I going too? Aren't you going to take a family photo..." Aunt Neile thought she was only a maid. They were going to take family photos, so she could not possibly join them.

"We're going shopping later. Luca will only know what to buy if you come with us," said Luke. Since Luca wanted to pretend that she grew up abroad, then he should just go along with it.

"Okay. Let me get ready," replied Aunt Neile. She walked into the maid's room and changed into another set of clothes. Then, she put on her coat.

Luke's car could not fit everyone as Aunt Neile was coming along with them. He called Warren over to drive another car.

Aunt Neile consciously climbed into Warren's car. When Tommy was about to get into Luke's car, Rainie grabbed him by the hand and said, "Tommy!"

"What?" Tommy lifted his head and looked at her, confused.

Rainie shook her head. Then, she looked at Luke and Luca, "Daddy, Ms. Luca, we'll ride the car Aunt Neile got into."

After that, Rainie dragged Tommy along with her and got into the other car, while Lanie took the initiative to get into the same car too.

The car Luke was driving was supposed to be full at first, but Luca was the only one left in the passenger seat now.

Luke did not say anything when he saw the kids doing that. He got into the car, fastened the seatbelt, and drove off.

Warren followed behind them.

After Tommy was forced to get into the car, he looked at the car in front of them. He could not help but pout his mouth and say, "Rainie, why did you pull me into this car? I'd like to be in the same car as Daddy."

"Silly. Daddy wants to spend some time together with Ms. Luca alone. Why should we be their third wheel?" Rainie gently flicked her finger on Tommy's forehead without using any strength.

Tommy covered his forehead after being flicked and said unconvincingly, "Daddy didn't even say that. How do you know that?"

Lanie looked at his younger brother and shook his head helplessly. "Is this really our younger brother?"

"Perhaps the nurse got the wrong baby when Mommy gave birth to him," replied Rainie. She felt helpless too.

The two of them could see that Luca was intentionally trying to keep her distance from Luke. How could their younger brother not see that?

Aunt Neile sat in the passenger seat, listening to their conversation. She could not help but snort.

"Lanie, Rainie, stop bullying me. Are you still my brother and sister?" Tommy pouted. He felt like Lanie and Rainie were showing contempt for him.

"Anyway, you're not allowed to become the third wheel," Rainie stroked his head. It was considered a warning.

Tommy still could not understand and said, "I like Ms. Luca. Why can't I stick to her?"

"No. Listen to us today," Rainie replied and shook her head. They had to help Daddy. Otherwise, they had no idea when they would be able to acknowledge their mother.

"Fine..." Tommy felt like he was unfairly treated.

In the other car.

Luca asked, "Mr. Crawford, does the photo studio open early in the morning?"

"I booked the whole studio today. They'll be opening early today," replied Luke. Photo studios usually opened around 10 in the morning.

However, Luke had booked the entire studio for today. That was why they were opening early today.

After they arrived at the studio, Luke told the receptionist his name.

The receptionist had already been waiting for them earlier in the morning. After he brought them to the VIP room, he began to take the photo album samples out to figure out what themes they wanted.

Luke booked portrait packages for each of his children. Hence, the kids were busy choosing their themes.

Luca did not comment on anything while she looked at the photo albums.

“What theme do you like?" Luke asked. He did not open the photo album in front of him and just turned to look at Luca.

Luca pointed at the vintage-themed photos and said, "I think the 1930s vintage theme is a great idea."

"Okay." Luke turned around, looked at the receptionist who received them, and said, "I'd like the 1930s vintage theme."

"Okay. Ms. Luca, please follow us. We'll dress you up. The makeup artist is already waiting for you," Woody, the receptionist, replied.

"Me? Dress up?" Luca thought she was only coming along with them for the photoshoot and she did not have to dress up for it...

"Yes. Didn't you choose the 1930s vintage-themed photoshoot? This way, please," Woody smiled and said.

Luca looked at Luke. She did not understand what arrangements he had made.

"Just go," said Luke. Other than the kids' portrait photoshoot, he also booked a family photoshoot package and another couple package for the two of them.

Now, they had to take their portrait photos first, then change back into their clothes for the family photos.

Luca put down the photo album and followed Woody out.

When Luca came to the makeup room, she could recognize the makeup artist. She was the one who helped her with her makeup the last time.

"Ms. Luca, good to see you again," the makeup artist smiled and greeted her. Luca had left an impression on her.

Luca had outstanding facial features. There was no need to touch up a lot to make her look amazing. She was the perfect candidate to become her model.

It was a pity that Luca would never become a model.

"Hello. Nice to see you again. Thank you for helping," said Luca.

"Take a seat." The makeup artist pulled the chair out of the dressing table and asked Luca to sit down.

Luca nodded. After she sat down on the chair, she took the cup of tea the assistant handed to her. Luca did not drink it but put it on the dressing table.

Woody said, "She picked the 1930s vintage theme. The photo with the warlord and his wife."

The sample photo Luca chose earlier was not of the young schoolgirl in the 1930s but of a charming wife who wore a silk gown.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2358-The makeup artist came in and looked at Luca's slim figure. Her eyes shone with admiration. "Ms. Luca, you look gorgeous in this silk gown."

"You did a great job at dressing me up." Luca felt embarrassed to receive such compliments.

"We just bought this silk gown yesterday. It was designed and sewn by the best tailor in our country. Speaking of that, you're lucky to be able to have this beautiful gown. It's just that the waistline of the gown is a little wider. It needs some altering." The makeup artist sized her up and found out what was wrong with just a glance.

Luca's waist was too small. The gown was in the smallest size, but Luca's waist was still too small for the gown.

“Your assistant has already gone looking for the tailor,” said Luca.

"Okay. It's better to look for the tailor. It won't take long to alter this. Besides, I don't dare to do anything to such good material," said the makeup artist. Then, she put the faux fur coat and pieces of jewelry aside.

After a while, the assistant brought the tailor along with her and came in.

"Ms. Reeves, please help us to alter the gown's waistline. It's too big." The makeup artist was polite to the tailor.

"Okay. Let me measure her size first. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to alter it." The tailor named Ms. Reeves immediately picked up the measuring tape and measured Luca's body size.

After Ms. Reeves noted down the measurements, she said to Luca, “Miss, please take off the gown first. Let me alter it for you. Give me 10 minutes.”

"Okay." Luca walked back into the fitting room. After she took off the gown, she put on the coat and waited in the fitting room.

The assistant took the gown out and handed it to Ms. Reeves.

Ms. Reeves was agile and quick. She immediately began to alter the gown with the sewing machine beside the fitting room.

At that moment, Luke came in. He was already dressed up.

Another makeup artist had dressed him up like a warlord in the 1930s. Men's makeup was much easier than women's. They only needed to touch up a little and the man was good to go.

The makeup artist was stunned when she looked at Luke.

Luke was wearing a military commander's uniform from the 1930s. His tall figure was like a model, which made him look really good in the uniform. He looked like a young marshal who had transmigrated from the 1930s. He was sexy, handsome, noble, and mysterious. He also had his usually cold and expressionless face.

His mysterious aura made people curious yet fascinated by him.

Sure enough, a handsome man would become even more good-looking after getting dressed up.

The makeup artist even thought that if directors were filming a movie or TV show with the background set in the 1930s, would they still choose other male actors to be the male lead when they saw Luke in this uniform?

He was exactly like a domineering young marshal in the 1930s...

She had seen couples who chose the same theme before, but none of those men could look so good in that uniform. It was as though this uniform was designed for him.

However, the military uniform was different from the silk gown.

After all, a variety of colors and patterns were available for the silk gowns, but men's clothing in the 1930s basically all looked like this.

Luke looked at the makeup artist who remained silent. He frowned and asked, "Hasn't she finished dressing up yet?"

"The waistline of the gown that Ms. Luca chose is a little too big for her. The tailor is altering it for her now. It'll be quick," the makeup artist came back to her senses and replied.

Luke nodded. There was a look of overbearing pride in his eyes.

The makeup artist could not help but secretly shout, “Oh my goodness, he's handsome.

Luca stood in the fitting room. Her face reddened when she heard Luke's voice. He should be taking the photos together with her.

Hence, he should be dressed up like a military marshal now.

She wondered what he looked like in that uniform.

Even though Luca had not seen Luke in the uniform, she believed that he must look good in it. He looked good no matter what he wore.

He was born with a model figure.

Previously, Luca heard Percy and Jim mention it when they were talking to him. There was once a model scout who tried to sign Luke up to be a model when Luke was still in university.

They even told Luke that they would spend all the money on him to make him popular.

Luke did not stay in Crawford Manor when he was in university. He did not reveal his identity either. He chose to rent an apartment outside.

The model scout waited for him every day at his apartment after Luke rejected him. He wanted to get in Luke's way, and he kept on persuading Luke, trying to convince him to agree with it.

However, Luke was not interested in becoming a celebrity. He was not interested in female celebrities either. The agent pestered him for the whole semester. He even tried different ways to tempt Luke to agree with him, but he still failed.

He had no choice but to give up.

Besides, Luke even moved to other apartments twice just to avoid the agent...

Luca thought it was funny when she heard that. That was when she found out that Luke, who was never afraid of anyone or anything, would go as far as moving to another place to avoid someone.

Moreover, that person was a man.

Luca could not help but chuckle when she recalled it. She looked at herself in the mirror and was startled for a moment.

She was smiling happily.

Luca felt blissful whenever she thought about him.

The smile on her face slowly faded. The happier she was, the more she could feel the greed in her.

She hoped that she could stay by Luke's side and never part with him.

The assistant took the gown from Ms. Reeves after she finished altering it. She walked into the fitting room and said, “Ms. Luca, it's done."

Luca came back to her senses. Her smile faded. She nodded and said, "Okay."

"Let me help you," said the assistant as she helped her to put on the gown.

The makeup artist came walking into the fitting room too. After Luca changed, she helped Luca to put on the jewelry. Then, she eventually wrapped the faux fur coat around Luca's arm, making it look like a shawl.

"It's a faux fur wrap. Don't worry," said the makeup artist. Many people hated real fur.

"Okay." Luca looked at herself in the mirror. It was finally done.

The assistant took a pair of new heels and came in. Then, she handed them to the makeup artist and asked, "Miss, what do you think about this?"

"Great. This pair of high heels suits her. Ms. Luca, please put on the heels. They're new," said the makeup artist. She took them out, squatted down, and helped Luca put on the heels.

After Luca put on the stiletto heels, she walked on the spot. The friction between the heels and the floor made a clattering sound.

"Your appearance complements Mr. Crawford's. Shall we head to the photography studio?" the makeup artist asked.

"Alright." Luca walked out of the fitting room. Her gaze met Luke, who was standing outside.

Luke's eyes were full of amazement.

The silk gown made the contours of Luca's body even more beautiful.

The vintage makeup on her face made her delicate facial features even more mature and feminine.

However, that was not all of it. She had this tender look on her that made him want to hold her in his arms and protect her.

"Do I look ugly.." Luca thought Luke did not like her dressed like this when she noticed that Luke did not say anything.

Although Luca thought she looked great, Luke's aesthetic standards were different from hers.

“You look stunning." Luke came forward and held her hands, sounding sincere. “I don't even want you to take the gown off you, and the makeup..."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2359-"I've never worn a silk gown. I don't know if it'll suit me." Luca felt a little embarrassed. It was as though Luke's burning gaze could light the cells in her body on fire.

"It looks good on you. Don't doubt what I said. If I say you look great, you do. It suits you perfectly," Luke assured her and gently squeezed her hands.

If it were not for the outsiders around them, Luke would have pulled her into his arms and murmured to her how beautiful she was in a soft voice.

Luca smiled and replied, "Mr. Crawford, you look handsome in this military uniform too."

She finally understood why couples loved wearing silk gowns and military uniforms to take couple photoshoots.

Wearing this for the photoshoot would make it seem like their love had lasted for a century.

The moment she saw Luke in the uniform, she fell into a daze and seemed to see their past lives.

Luca held Luke's hands, interlocking her fingers with him.

The assistant stood beside the makeup artist, looking at them from behind. She could not help but exclaim, "Miss, I feel like I'm in the 1930s when I look at them."

"Who doesn't? Let's go. Off to the photography studio," replied the makeup artist. She had styled many people with this vintage look, but Luca was her best work.

The assistant nodded and kept up with her pace.

Luke had already been to the photography studio. Since the children's styling was simple and they were very cooperative, they had finished taking their portrait photos.

Rainie had chosen a ballet-themed portrait. She was the last to take the photos among the three of them. After the photography session, she noticed Luca and Luke coming in.

She came forward happily and said, "Daddy, you look handsome. Ms. Luca, you're so beautiful!"

Luca smiled and let go of Luke's hands. She held Rainie's hands and said, "Let me guess. You chose a ballet-themed for your portrait photo, right?"

"Yes. The makeup artist even put a pair of angel wings on me. Ms. Luca, do I look pretty?" Rainie spun around in front of her. It was obvious that she liked this style.

"You look beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos. Anyway, where's Lanie and Tommy?" Luca asked.

"Lanie and Tommy have already finished their photography sessions. They're going to get changed now. Aunt Neile is watching over them," replied Rainie. As Luke had requested the best photographer in the studio, their photos were taken by the same photographer. That was why they did not take photos at the same time.

Luca set her worries aside when she heard that Aunt Neile was looking after the kids.

The makeup artist's assistant walked toward them and led them over. “Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, this way to the studio with the 1930s backdrop.”

“Daddy, Ms. Luca, I'm going to get changed first. I'll come over later,” said Rainie. They still had to take some photos of Rainie in casual attire. There was no way Rainie was going to wear the ballet costume throughout.

"Okay." Luca nodded.

Luke wrapped his hand around Luca's waist and headed to the photography studio with her.

The photographer was already waiting inside. His eyes brightened up when he saw Luke and Luca come in.

He had enjoyed taking photos of Luke and Luca at Susan's birthday dinner. It was a pity that they were not sitting together when the birthday party was ending, and that was why he did not take more photos of them.

"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, nice to meet you. I'm your photographer. My name's Ken. We can start now if you're ready. Is that okay?" Ken asked for their opinions after introducing himself.

Ken had high expectations when it came to photography. He could not wait to start taking photos of them when he saw such a good-looking couple.

"Sure," replied Luke as he put his hand on Luca's waist.

The two of them stood close to each other, looking at the camera. Ken quickly asked the assistant to adjust the lighting before starting to take photos.

After taking a few photos of them doing freestyle posing, Ken thought it was not enough. Hence, he instructed Luke and Luca to do a few gestures.

"Ms. Luca, move a little to your side with your body facing Mr. Crawford's chest," said Ken.

Luca did what she was told to do.

"Great. Mr. Crawford, lift your head a little. Ms. Luca, try to lift your head more with your lips facing Mr. Crawford's Adam's apple. That's right. Make it look like you're going to kiss him," instructed Ken.

Ken guided them with their poses, closing the distance between them. They were so close to each other.

Ken continued to shoot photos. He kept on guiding them to do new photo poses. He also changed the props and backdrop.

Ken secretly thought that it was a pity that the weather was cold and it was freezing outside. Luke did not like the idea of going outdoors for the photoshoots. It would be great if he could take some photos outdoors too.

Ken was constantly taking photos of them. He even forgot how long he had been taking photos of them.

It was until his assistant reminded him in a low voice that the photos he took had exceeded the number of photos stated in the package that Ken stopped taking photos of them. Then, he said in an embarrassed tone, "I'm sorry. It's taking longer than expected..."

"It's okay," replied Luca. She enjoyed the photo shooting session. Most importantly, she could have an excuse to stand so close to Luke in front of so many people.

The makeup artist glanced at the time and said, "We still have time. Ms. Luca, let's get changed now."

"Is there more?" Luca was surprised.

"There's one more for casual attire together with the kids," replied the makeup artist.

Luca nodded and looked at the three kids who had changed into their casual attire. Then, she followed behind the makeup artist and left.

Luke walked toward the kids, looked at them, and said, "Remember to behave yourselves later. Ask her to take more photos together."

"I got it, Daddy." Tommy was the first one to answer him. Then, he complimented Luke, "Daddy, you're handsome."

"Daddy's always handsome, right?" Rainie smiled and asked. When she was watching Daddy and Mommy taking photos just now, all she thought about was how great they looked together.

"Daddy always looks good. Don't worry, we know what to do later," said Tommy.

It only took a while for the makeup artist to put on a daily makeup look on Luca's face.

The makeup artist took the curling iron and curled Luca's hair as her hair was tied up and styled with hair gel just now.

Luca had never tried curling her hair for a daily look, but she thought it looked great on her when she saw it.

After she changed into her casual attire, she was brought to another photo studio. Luke and the three kids were already here waiting for her.

Ken was still the photographer.

After he took a few photos of them as a family, he asked to take photos of just the three kids.

After the three of them took a few photos, they complained that they felt tired and did not want to take more photos. The rest of the session was just Luke and Luca.

Tommy looked at the two adults who were busy posing for photos. He could not help but ask, "Lanie, Rainie, am I doing well?"

"You're not a drag on Daddy this time," Rainie assured him.

"Of course not. I'm the apple of Daddy's eye," Tommy replied proudly. Luke had already reminded them before they began the photo shoot.

Hence, the kids knew what to do when they were taking the family photos by letting them take more photos together.

They felt content just being able to take photos with them.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2360-"I'll never hold Daddy back," Tommy mumbled.

While the three kids were chattering away, the last photoshoot session had ended.

Before Luca could talk to the kids, the makeup artist's assistant asked her to get changed and remove her makeup.

Luke was not in a hurry. He walked toward the kids and said, “All of you did well today.”

“Daddy, I think we did great too,” Tommy replied proudly.

Luke stroked the kids' heads to compliment them. Then, he turned to look at Aune Neile and said, "Aunt Neile, after they remove their makeup, get them into Warren's car and go back home."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford.” Aunt Neile was confused after she agreed with Luke. Then, she asked, "Mr. Crawford, didn't you say that Ms. Luca doesn't know what to prepare for New Year's and that's why you asked me to come along with you?”

"We still have time. List down the things that we should buy for New Year's,” said Luke. Aunt Neile would not have to list down everything if Luke was not putting on a show.

"Okay. I'll text you," replied Aunt Neile with a nod. Then, she picked up her phone and began to list it down.

Normally, Aunt Neile was responsible for buying things in the villa. She knew what to buy.

Rainie asked, “Daddy, aren't you bringing us along with you?”

“Be good and go home together with Aunt Neile,” said Luke as he stroked Rainie's head. It was merrier to bring the kids along, but it was troublesome.

Although the kids would listen to him, Luke wanted to spend some time alone with Luca.

He treasured every moment he could spend with Luca alone.

Tommy was unhappy when he heard that. He pouted and said, “Daddy, you promised us that you'd bring us along with you...”

“Be good,” Luke looked at him with a stern expression on his face.

Lanie understood why Luke did not bring them along with him. Sometimes, there were many things he could do when there were children around them. Their father wanted to go on a date with their mother.

If Luke brought them along with him, it would not be a date anymore. It would be a family activity instead.

“Rainie, Tommy, listen to Daddy." As the elder brother, Lanie made the decision. He agreed to leave first, setting a good example for his younger sister and brother.

Rainie heard him and nodded. Since Lanie wanted to go home, then she would follow him back.

Tommy still wanted to follow Luke.

Rainie knew what Tommy was thinking about. She whispered to him in his ears in a soft voice, "Tommy, Daddy wants to go on a date with Ms. Luca. We can't be their third wheel."

Her voice was so soft that even Aunt Neile could not hear her.

Tommy refused to give in when he heard they wanted to go on a date, but he eventually nodded and said, "Daddy, we'll go home, but you have to buy a lot of snacks for us."

"No problem," Luke agreed. Tommy knew how to negotiate and deal with others now. He would not lose out in the future.

Tommy got it from his father.

After Luke agreed to buy them snacks, the three kids went to remove their makeup happily and changed back into their clothes.

The kids did not have much makeup on their faces. Hence, they were able to get changed quickly with the assistant's help. Then, they left together with Aunt Neile.

After Luca removed her makeup and changed into her own clothes, she noticed that Luke was already standing at the entrance. There was no sign of the three kids, so she asked with confusion, "Aren't Lanie and the others done yet?"

"They're tired, so Aunt Neile brought them back home," replied Luke.

"Is that so?" Luca did not doubt what Luke said. After all, taking photos was tiring. Hence, she said, "Aunt Neile isn't here. I don't know what to buy..."

Luke stared at her. Luca was being careful. She knew how to put on a show.

"It's okay. She has already sent me the shopping list. Let's get whatever on the list," said Luke.

"Okay." Luca did not say anything more.

She did not mind buying things to prepare for New Year's, but it was too noticeable for Luke to show up in a shopping mall.

Luca noticed the boutique beside them. They had spent all morning taking photos. Even the boutique beside the studio had opened.

"Mr. Crawford, give me a minute," said Luca. After that, she walked into the boutique.

The shop assistant in the boutique greeted her passionately and was about to entertain her. However, Luca knew what she wanted to get, so she was quick and straightforward. She bought a baseball cap for men, paid for it, and walked out of the boutique.

Then, Luca handed the baseball cap to Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford, I don't want to get surrounded by people when I'm shopping."

Although Luke was not a celebrity, his influence in A City was bigger than the top stars.

Many people admired Luke instead of the celebrities.

If Luke got recognized by someone else, Luca and he would show up in the headlines of newspapers with her standing beside him. Her situation would be worse than Nina's.

Besides, those who would be scolding her would be greater in number than those who scolded Nina.

It was due to her current identity. She had no status or position.

Even though they slept together every night, nothing had happened between them. She could not be considered a true mistress, but would the others know about this?

People would only think that she was a mistress if she walked together with Luke.

The public was way too powerful nowadays. If they were to dig into it, they would definitely find out that they were staying together.

Luca did not want to cause such trouble.

"Okay." Luke took the cap from her without hesitation. Then, he put on the cap.

Luca looked at him and said, "Something's missing."

"The masks are in the car's drawer. Let's go get something to eat first," said Luke. He had already booked a table to have lunch at the French restaurant on the top floor of the shopping mall. He heard that the food there was good.

Luca nodded and followed him into the car.

The two of them came to the shopping mall in the city center. They could find anything they wanted here, and they could get everything on the shopping list Aunt Neile sent to Luke.

Luca thought of getting some clothes for the kids.

Although she knew what sizes the children wore, it would be better to buy their clothes based on their preferences.

However, the kids had already gone back home.

Luke parked the car and noticed that Luca was lost in her thoughts. He asked in a low voice, "What's in your mind?"

"I was thinking that the kids would need new clothes for the new year, but they're not here with us. What should I do if I buy something they don't like..." said Luca. She knew her kids well.

Her kids were the kindest sweethearts. Even if they did not like the clothes Luca chose for them, they would tell her they liked them.

Luca was unwilling to see that happen if they really did not like the clothes they got.

Luca hoped the kids could get what they truly wanted instead of forcing themselves to like the things given to them.

"Let's video call them and let them choose later," Luke suggested.

Luke had sent the kids away just to spend more time together with Luca alone. He did not expect that Luca would be thinking about the kids.

Luke understood that Luca cared for her children.

"Sounds like a good idea." Luca nodded.

After they arrived at the French restaurant, Luke give them the last few digits of his phone number, then the waiter led them to their private room.
