Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 2361 Couple's Lunch Set

After they were seated, the waiter asked, “Mr. Crawford, should we serve the dishes now?"

"Yes." Luke nodded. He had already placed the order when he was booking the private room.

After all, there were a ton of things they needed to buy, so doing this would save some time. He did not want to see Luca being tired.

Luca did not say anything after knowing that Luke had placed the order for them. She picked up the glass of lemonade and took a few sips.

She was wearing lipstick during the photoshoot. It would trouble the makeup artist to touch up her lipstick whenever she drank some water. That was why she did not drink anything. She was thirsty now.

The waiter nodded. When he was about to leave, Luke said, "I'd like to have a glass of grape juice, please."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford. Just a moment," replied the waiter.

After the waiter left, there were only two of them in the private room.

Luca sat right opposite Luke. She felt embarrassed. Then, she picked up the glass of lemonade and took another few sips. She soon finished it.

When Luca thought of saying something to break the silence, her phone rang.

Luca took her phone out of her bag and glanced at it. It was Tommy who called.

She turned to look at Luke and explained to him, "Tommy is making a video call."

"Answer it," replied Luke.

Luca placed the glass on the center of the table, making it a temporary phone holder. She leaned her phone on the glass, then pressed the answer button. "Hey Tommy, what's the matter?"

Tommy's dark, big eyes blinked as he said in a childish voice, "Ms. Luca, have you eaten?"

"I'm about to eat now," replied Luca as she shot a glance at Luke.

She did not know what Tommy was going to tell her. Luke was still in front of her.

"Where's Daddy?" Tommy asked.

Luca was about to pick up her phone, but Luke reached out and held her wrist.

"Huh?" Luca looked at Luke in surprise.

Luke rose to his feet and walked toward her back. Then, he pulled the chair beside them and sat down on the chair. He was slightly behind her. Then, he asked Tommy, who was on the other end of the video, "Yes?"

Luca could feel her ears burning all of a sudden.

She slightly turned her face back and looked at the distance between Luke and her. They were so close that she only had to turn around to be able to lean on Luke's shoulder.

Tommy looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I called to remind Daddy to get me my snacks. I want chocolates and cookies. Oh yes, please get some strawberry candy too. I'm not eating those. I just want to share them with my classmates when school reopens."

“Tommy, you can't be too greedy.” Luke raised his brows. This little boy had gone too far.

Tommy chose to make a video call to Luca just to remind Luke to buy these for him in front of Luca.

That way, Luke had no choice but to agree with him. Otherwise, this little boy would tell Luca that his father deliberately sent them away just to go on a date with Luca.

"And nougats. I'd like to have those too. By the way, Daddy, there must be almonds in the chocolate. If you don't know how to choose them, leave this task to Ms. Luca. The ones she buy taste good," Tommy continued chattering away.

Luke's face turned a little gloomy.

Rainie, who was nearby, heard Tommy talking to the tablet. She came forward and glanced at the tablet with curiosity.

Their father's face had become gloomy.

Tommy would be lectured if Rainie did not stop him. Thus, Rainie pulled Tommy away and said, "That's enough, Tommy. Daddy and Ms. Luca will get them for you. Stop it. Besides, many people will be coming for the New Year's celebration. There'll be tons of snacks.”

"I don't care. Daddy promised me." Tommy turned his face and said to Rainie. Then, he turned to look at Luke and asked, "Daddy, have you memorized them?"

"Yes," Luke replied in a deep voice. There was a trace of shrewdness in Tommy's eyes. How dared this little boy set him up.

"Great. Daddy, Ms. Luca, we're going to have lunch now. Goodbye." Tommy waved his hand and hung up the call before Luke and Luca could respond.

"You promised Tommy?" Luca asked. Usually, they would always have snacks at home, but most of them were healthy snacks like fruits.

As for cookies, they would choose certain brands that were healthy for the kids, but the kids loved eating chocolates. Still, Luke would not buy too many chocolates for them for the sake of their health. "Yes." Luke put the chair back and returned to his seat that was opposite her. Their gazes met.

Luca nodded and said, "I know how to make them, and they can be quite healthy too."

"You know how to make them?" Luke asked.

"Apart from strawberry candy, I know how to make the others..." replied Luca. The ingredients for cookies were butter and flour, while marshmallows and almonds would be needed to make nougats. Making chocolate was easy too. She only had to buy cocoa beans to make them.

"Let's go get some ingredients later. Can you make those for them?" Luke asked. The ones he bought outside would not be as good as homemade ones.

Luke refused to let the kids have too many snacks like those. He thought they were unhealthy for them.

That was why Tommy seized the chance to ask him to buy more snacks this time.

However, he was reluctant to buy them for the children. It was not because he was unwilling to spend money but it was for their own good.

Aunt Neile did not know how to make these snacks due to her age.

“Okay. It's healthier for the kids if I can make them myself too. We don't have to worry about their health either." Luca agreed with him and promised to make the snacks for the kids.

There would be no additives added to the snacks if she made them herself. She could make anything the kids were craving that day. It was healthy and good for them.

"Thank you," said Luke. The company would only give the employees their holidays starting on Monday. Holidays were for them to relax and take a break from work, but it seemed like Luca would be busy taking care of the kids during the holidays.

"They're not difficult to make, but I'm worried that the kids will be unhappy when they realized we only bought the ingredients back," replied Luca. Even if home-cooked food tasted good, it would not taste as good as the ones sold outside.

It was the same for snacks.

Even though she could make delicious snacks, the snacks sold outside always tasted better than the homemade ones. Hence, Luca was worried that the kids would feel disappointed.

"They won't. They love everything you make," Luke assured her. The three kids loved everything that Luca made for them.

Food prepared by others did not taste as good as Luca's homemade food.

Hence, the idea of home-cooked food not tasting as good as the foods sold outside was inapplicable to Luca.

Luca nodded. She was good at making food and snacks for the kids.

There was a knock on the door. The next second, the waiter pushed the dining cart in, walked into the room, and served the dishes on the table.

After serving them, the waiter asked, "May I know who's having the grape juice..."

"It's for her," answered Luke. He noticed that Luca was drinking a lot of water earlier, and he knew she was thirsty. That was why he ordered a glass of grape juice for her.

"Miss, here's your glass of grape juice," said the waiter. He placed the glass beside Luca and said, "The couple's lunch set has been served. Please press the bell if you need anything."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2362-Luca was surprised, then she turned to look at Luke.

Couple’s lunch set?

Luca glanced at the dishes on the table. They were indeed a couple’s meal set. She noticed that the foie gras was in a heart shape too.

The same went with the straw of the grape juice.

Luke noticed that Luca was surprised, but he did not make any explanation.

There was nothing much to explain. They were on a date, after all. Of course, it had to be romantic. It was normal to order a couple’s meal set.

After the waiter left and closed the door, Luke placed the appetizer and main course in front of her. He said, "Try them and see if you like them."

Luca nodded. Then, she had a taste of the appetizer. It tasted like authentic French cuisine. She nodded and said, "It tastes good."

“Have some more,” said Luke. He picked up the cutleries and tasted the food as well.

As expected from a restaurant recommended by a food magazine. The food tasted good. Luke tasted the food while sizing Luca up at the same time.

Luca was having some foie gras. She touched her face with some confusion when Luke stared at her.

She asked, "Mr. Crawford, is there something on my face?"

"No," replied Luke. The corner of his lips curled up a little. He did not expect to act like a little boy when eating his lunch while looking at the woman he loved.

However, it had been a long time since he went on a date with Luca alone. He almost forgot how it felt.

Luke felt like a teenager in love with a girl when he looked at Luca. Even though Luca's appearance had changed, he could still remember the moments he spent with her in their high school years.

A glance at her could make his heart race and spark his soul.

Luca’s face reddened a little with Luke staring at her like this. She already had four children, but she would still blush when Luke was looking at her like that.

It was as though she was still a young girl facing someone she loved. Even though she was socially inexperienced back then, she could not help but fall for him.

"Mr. Crawford, the food in front of you is more tempting." Luca cleared her throat, and she could not stop herself from saying that. Her heart would continue to beat faster if Luke looked at her like this while she was eating her lunch.

“You taste better than the food." Luke was being honest and admitted how alluring Luca was to him.

Luca widened her eyes. She could not believe what she had heard.

A man who had always been cold and arrogant actually said something like this.

Luca suddenly recalled that many years ago before they had children, they had once sat on the rattan chairs on the balcony. They whispered to each other and told each other how much they had fallen in with each other in a soft voice.

Love was in the air, and they eventually...

Luca's face reddened like a tomato.

"What's on your mind?" Luke smiled when he looked at her reddened face.

"Nothing." Luca shook her head. There was no way she could tell him what she was thinking about.

Luke did not force her to tell him when Luca refused to tell him. Her reddened face had already explained everything to him. "Have some more."

"Okay." Luca looked down and forced herself to try her best not to look at Luke. She was afraid that she would lose control and think of other stuff when she looked at him. It would eventually be revealed on her face.

Luke was smart. She could not hide anything from him.

The waiter came in again after they finished their lunch. He cleaned up the table and brought two mousse cakes in. The cakes were heart-shaped too. He smiled, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca, we help take photos for our customers as a souvenir. You may take the photo with you or leave it in the restaurant. Would you like to take one?"

Before Luke could say anything, Luca immediately replied, "No, thank you."

Luke did not say a word. He knew why she refused to take the photo, and he did not force her either.

After all, they had just taken so many photos together. If Luca was unwilling to take more photos now, then he would just let her be.

"The food magazine stated that there's a daily limited supply for this dessert. You won't be able to have this if you come late. Try this." Luke handed one of them to her.

"Thank you." Luca picked up the dessert fork and took a small piece of it. She put it in her mouth and tasted it.

There was a rich aroma, and the sweetness was just perfect. It melted in her mouth. It glided down her throat before she could chew it.

It was silky-smooth.

Luca smiled and thought of the kids. She said, "If Rainie and Tommy were here, they would love it."

"I've already ordered takeouts for them," replied Luke. He ordered six of them, and he was planning to give one to Aunt Neile too.

Although Luke was on a date with Luca, he was still a thoughtful father.

The ingredients of the restaurant were fresh. He placed his order when he saw the mousse cake.

Luca gave him a gentle smile and said, "The kids will be delighted to see it."

"Yes. They love desserts," replied Luke. Lanie had the least interest in desserts among the three of them. However, Luca agreed that the dessert tasted good. Therefore, Lanie should like it too.

Lanie was Luca's son. There were always many similarities between a mother and her son, such as their taste preferences. Luca and Lanie shared the same preferences.

After lunch, Luke and Luca left the restaurant. They came to the biggest supermarket in the shopping mall, Walmart. Then, they started buying the things needed for the New Year's celebration based on the list given by Aunt Neile.

The most important thing to get in a supermarket was food and other ingredients.

After all, the dishes served during New Year were more sumptuous than usual. Hence, after Luca bought all the ingredients and things on the list, she bought other ingredients that she thought she might use.

Of course, she did not forget about the ingredients used to make the kids' snacks.

After she bought everything, the two ended up with three big bags.

Luke was carrying two of them while Luca carried one in her hands.

Luke looked at the things they bought for the New Year's celebration and said, “Why don't we put these back in the car first?"

"Sure," Luca nodded. There were many other things they needed to buy. There was no way they could carry these while they continued shopping.

The shopping mall belonged to T Corporation. However, if Luke revealed his identity, it would cause an uproar. That was why Luke was wearing the cap and mask, keeping a low profile.

They got into the elevator and headed to the basement parking lot. After Luke put the two bags into his car trunk, he took the bag in Luca's hand. He noticed that her hands were pale white from carrying the heavy bag.

After Luke put the bag into the car trunk, he locked the car. Then, he took Luca's hand and looked closely at her fingers.

He frowned and said, "Your fingers..."

"They'll go back to normal soon," said Luca. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Luke held it tight.

He did not intend to let her hand go.

"I should've asked someone to carry it for you," Luke said. He could not bear to see Luca get hurt.

However, the bag was really big. It would be inconvenient for him to walk while carrying three big bags alone. That was why Luca suggested carrying one of them, and Luke agreed.

He did not expect the lightest bag to leave a mark on her long, slim fingers.

"It's nothing. I'm not hurt. The mark will be gone soon. Mr. Crawford, don't make a big deal out of it," said Luca. She looked indifferently at the mark on her fingers after carrying something heavy.

It was not a big deal.

Besides, her fingers were not as smooth as before after training for a few years. They were no longer soft and smooth.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2363-Luke pouted as he could not wait to tell the world that his beloved Bianca had returned.

However, he could only comply with her orders as of right now to keep a low profile and not expose her identity, which made him feel helpless.

He liked to be in control of everything, and he felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that everything was going according to his plan.

This situation with Luca gave him a sense of frustration.

Luke tried his best to grasp more about Luca's situation, but he still felt powerless in the end.

“Mr. Crawford?" When Luca noticed his grim expression, she thought that her previous statement had upset him.

The mall belonged to him, so having someone follow them around while carrying their bags was normal. However, they had no choice but to carry their own bags because of her request to keep a low profile. Hence, they lost preferential treatment.

"Okay, we can make a few trips so you don't need to carry so much." Luke came to his senses and made this decision.

He could only carry so much with both his hands, so he had to make a few trips as he could not bear seeing Luca carrying things.

"Oh, alright." Luca was a little surprised as she nodded.

After placing the groceries into the car, Luca brought Luke to the gift shop to help choose gifts for Old Master Crawford, the Norman family, and the Rayne family,

They were not just any relatives, so she carefully picked out their gifts as they could not be casual about it.

Luke silently watched her compare different supplements as he believed that her choice was the best.

She understood the condition of Old Master Crawford, the Normans, Old Master Rayne, and even Wanda's health. Thus, she would pick the ones that suited them the best to nourish their body.

Luca selected several products and looked at Luke. "I think these would be suitable."

"Then buy them all." Luke handed the bank card to the staff member.

The staff member's eyes lit up. "Sir, do you want all of these?"

"Yes." Luke nodded.

Luca's original intention was to pick options and let Luke choose from them. She did not expect him to buy everything. “Mr. Crawford, it's too many..." “We can't visit them often because we're usually busy with work, and we only go during New Year's to send them some supplements, so these aren't much," said Luke. Her family was family to him as well, so it was not much in his eyes. "I'll take them all."

"Okay, you're gifting them, right?" The staff member confirmed with them as they would include better packaging if they were giving them away.

"Yes." Luke nodded.

"Alright, sir, Madam. It may take some time for us to finish packing, so perhaps you can take a seat in the resting area?" the staff member said smilingly as she swiped Luke's card and handed it back respectfully.

Luke took it back and walked over to the resting area to take a seat while holding Luca's hand.

They waited for the staff members to finish packing their items.

The two staff members worked efficiently as they were done wrapping the gifts after five minutes. "Sir, Madam, your gifts are ready. Here's a shopping voucher for you. You can drop by anytime in the future. Have a nice day."

Luke took the initiative to carry all the bags.

When Luca was ready to carry them, she saw that he had already taken everything. "You sit here first. I'll go put these in the car."

"There are so many. Let me help you." She stood up.

"No need." Luke refused, not wanting to burden her hands.

The staff noticed and instantly said, "Sir, our staff can help you carry them, but you'll need to lead the way."

"Alright." Luke put down the bags.

The staff member summoned a strong male colleague and said, "Help this gentleman bring these to his car."

"Alright, Ms. Nala." The male staff member lifted all the bags.

Luke looked at Luca. "Wait for me here. I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay." Luca realized that Luke did not want her to get tired from running around, so she agreed to sit there.

Luke left with the male staff member.

Afterward, the remaining staff member said with a smile, "Madam, I'll go serve the other customers now."

"Alright, don't mind me," said Luca as she took out her phone and scrolled.

A moment later, new customers entered the store.

Luca did not pay much attention to them as she was on her phone, but she froze the moment she heard their voice.

Mavis looked at the dazzling array of goods and frowned as she asked her good friend, Molly, "Why do you always come here to buy things before New Year's? You've been giving gifts for years, yet you still haven't impressed them. I think you should just save your money and live your own life. He doesn't care

about his relationship with his family anyway."

Molly stopped selecting supplements and looked at her. “Marriage isn't a simple family matter. It's complicated. You're single, so you won't understand."

"How complicated could it be? He doesn't care about his family and has already married you. You can just take care of your own family." Mavis did not think that it was that complicated. What could they not solve with money?

She thought that Molly was too soft. She gave up her career for her small family, which was why she was looked down on by her husband's family.

"I want him to get along better with his family. We want children in the future, and we'd need his family's help. By the way, how has your love life been lately? I heard that some rich guy is pursuing you. Did you give him a chance?" Molly asked with a smile.

"What rich guy? He just works in a bank. Forget it, we're not compatible." The smile on Mavis' face disappeared at the mention of that person.

The person pursuing her was a vice president. His family must be influential and have connections for him to be able to achieve that position at such a young age.

The way he pursued her was also very brazen. It was in line with what all women would consider romantic, but she just did not like him...

Besides, all these qualities were not outstanding enough in her eyes.

"Even a vice president isn't good enough for you? He's young and successful," said Molly as she did not understand why Mavis was so picky.

She knew that man as well. He was a handsome man who came from a good family and had a good job. He was good enough to be paired up with a strong woman like Mavis.

"How did you even find out about this?" Mavis did not expect that man to be so high profile.

She wondered if everyone who knew her was already aware of this man's existence.

Going to such lengths to make her say yes was foolish.

"Does he not know your preferences?" Molly asked.

"That's what I'm saying. Were you the one who told him?" Mavis had previously wondered how he knew her preferences so well.

"He approached me to ask, but I didn't say much. Perhaps he asked your other friends too." Molly picked two packets of vitamins and continued to browse other nutritional products.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2364-“His actions made me even more annoyed." Mavis frowned as she felt even more disgust for that person.

Molly shook her head and bought two boxes of calcium tablets. "You just hate when people make a move on you first. I think he's not bad, but you're disgusted just because he took the initiative. Don't tell me that after so many years, you're still hanging onto that cold Mr. Crawford?"

Luca was looking at a magazine, but as soon as she heard 'Mr. Crawford', her attention was diverted over there.

At the mention of Luke, Mavis' eyes showed emotions of a broken heart as she was bound to be at the mercy of Luke.

Although she had not met Luke for a long time, every dream she had was related to him. Her longing and love kept increasing with every news report about him.

Many people had pursued her over the years, but none of them were as outstanding as Luke.

Mavis would not settle for just anyone, so she regarded all those men as playboys and ignored them.

Her heart was already occupied. Although she was aware that comparing those guys to Luke was a bit unfair, she could not help it. Ever since she met him, all she could think about was how great he was.

This was despite him being cold and never showing her any affection.

Was the perfect teamwork they had at work not much more meaningful than love?

Mavis liked strong characters who rose above everyone else, unlike her admirers, who thought highly of themselves after achieving a little success in their respective fields. They thought that they were worthy of her.

However, they were not worthy of her at all!

After noticing Mavis' silence, Molly knew the answer and let out a long sigh. She handed her selected supplements and credit card to the staff member and said, "I want to gift them, so please wrap them up nicely."

"No problem. Please wait in the resting area for a while." The staff member took the supplements and swiped the card before proceeding to wrap the gifts.

Molly nodded and took Mavis' hand as they sat at the table next to Luca.

"Mavis, it's been five or six years. Why are you still so deadset on this?" She looked at her best friend resignedly.

Over the years, she had seen many young talents pursue her best friend, yet she only had eyes for Luke as if she was stuck in a trap.

She had nothing to do with that man, yet Mavis still liked him so much even though she never got a response from him. Besides, it had been a long time since the two met. Mavis held her phone and stared at her chat history with Luke while in a daze,

Molly thought that they used to have something going on between them other than work, which was why she wanted to see the chat logs. If Luke had really done something bad to her, then as her best friend, she would definitely help her.

However, when she saw the chat logs, she realized that the content was all work-related.

Luke had never said anything remotely flirtatious to Mavis.

Moreover, he never gave Mavis a chance to say anything flirtatious too. He would ignore her whenever she brought up even the tiniest private matter.

Molly had to admit that Luke handled this very well without taking advantage of Mavis.

Even then, Mavis still could not stop thinking about him after so long.

Molly could not comprehend it as other than them being in a supervisor and subordinate relationship, there were no romantic memories or flirtatious conversations between them.

Yet, Mavis had wasted almost a decade of her life just like that.

How many years of youth did a woman have?

Mavis started working at T Corporation ever since she graduated. She was very capable, so she was promoted early and became Luke's right-hand woman.

According to her, that was when she developed feelings for Luke.

Molly did the math in her head. It had indeed been a decade.

A decade of youth was wasted. Mavis was still pretty and attractive, so she had a lot of admirers, but they all could not get her approval. As great of a man they were, they would go for other women after getting rejected by her.

Molly wanted to persuade her to consider those men.

Although they were not as outstanding as Luke, their conditions were much better than the average person's.

“Molly, it's not a matter of time anymore. Don't try to persuade me." Mavis knew what she was going to say.

Molly was one of the few people who were close to her and treated her with sincerity.

It was understandable that she wanted to persuade her to open up her mind.

However, it was easier said than done as giving up her love for Luke was too difficult.

"He and his wife already have three children, yet you're still like this. You'll suffer in the future," said Molly as everyone knew that Luke had three kids with his wife.

Other women who wanted to be the stepmother to those children did not stand a chance.

"So what? I just can't let go. Plus, Molly, don't you know that his wife is no longer in the country? I heard that they're having relationship problems and that his wife is no longer worthy of Luke after suffering those things," Mavis mentioned Bianca with hatred.

She believed the rumors of Luke and Bianca not getting along.

After all, Bianca was kidnapped and forced to sell her body. She even suffered from amnesia and lost her mind. So many men had laid their hands on her. How could a clean freak like Luke be able to accept having someone like her sleeping next to his pillow?

Hence, Mavis saw a glimmer of hope.

She just needed to meet Luke to get a chance.

Luca dropped her gaze and was speechless.

The woman who replaced her had really tarnished her reputation.

If she returned to her old identity...

Luca curled her lips. What was she thinking? Even if she got rid of Abel, how could she face Luke and reveal her true identity?

She had done so many things to hurt him.

As much as she loved him, she did not have the heart nor the reason to tell him.

After hearing their conversation, she thought that it was time for her to go out.

Otherwise, Mavis might recognize Luke if she waited here.

She had worked with Luke for so many years, and her love for him was so deep it had reached her bones. She may even be able to recognize him even when he was wearing a hat and mask.

Luca stood up and saw Luke walk into the store.

The resting area was close to the entrance, so she hurriedly walked over and said, "Let's go."

She did not even call his name for fear of being heard by Mavis.

She was not afraid that Luke would develop feelings after meeting Mavis, but she was worried that Mavis would recognize Luke and stir up trouble that involved her.

Plus, it was better for Mavis not to see Luke in this state.

She was not worried about other things, but from a woman's perspective, if she could not let go, seeing him again would make it even harder.

"Okay." Luke's eyes were focused on Luca as he held her hand and left without noticing Mavis and Molly.

However, his faint response made Mavis jolt out of her seat.

"Mavis, why are you.." Molly looked at Mavis in surprise.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2365-Molly, I think that person was him," said Mavis as she was about to walk out.

Molly tugged on her hand and said with a frown, "Did you mistake him for someone else? How could there be such a coincidence? Plus, I think he was with a woman. Isn't his wife abroad?"

"I would've mistaken anyone else but not him. Wait here." Mavis withdrew her hand and ran out.

She spotted his figure not far away.

Mavis ran in front of them, and tears welled up in her eyes. Although the man in front of her was wearing a cap and mask, she could tell that it was Luke from his physique and voice.

"Is it you?" Her voice could not help but tremble.

Luca did not expect Mavis to recognize Luke from one single word.

Well, they did work together closely in their previous cooperations.

Luke frowned when he saw Mavis in front of him. It had been three years since he last saw her. At that time, she used her own company to snatch the opportunity to cooperate with Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. Now, she still had the guts to show up in front of him.

Luke did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he said in a hoarse voice, "You have the wrong person."

"How could I be mistaken? Even if you fake your voice, I know it's you..." Mavis looked at the two of them holding hands tightly. This woman was obviously not Bianca.

He really did encounter problems with Bianca, and had found a new love now.

What gave him the right to find someone new when she had been waiting for him here all this time? She did not even cross his mind when he found another woman.

She pointed at Luca and asked, "Who's this?"

Luke intended to ignore her as it had always just been Mavis's wishful thinking. He had never made any promise to her.

"Lu—" Mavis saw that he was about to leave with Luca and immediately blocked his path.

"I've missed you all these years," she told him about her obsession with him without any regard for the bystanders looking at her.

Luca was getting anxious as Mavis had attracted the eyes of many passersby. If she called out Luke's name, it would cause a commotion.

Ordinary people may not know who Luke was, but the people who frequented this mall were either senior white-collars or from a noble family, so they would know Luke's name for sure.

She looked at Mavis and could tell that she was heartbroken from her eyes.

Now, Mavis knew for a fact that Luke and Bianca had broken up. However, Luke got together with her instead of Mavis, so she must feel wronged.

Having such feelings along with the long period of torment, there was no saying if she might do something stupid.

Luca was a little worried.

Luke did not say a word. He pulled Luca away as he wanted to leave.

Mavis watched as their shoulders brushed against hers, and she could not bear looking at their interlocked hands. She hissed at Luke. “I liked you for so many years, and now that you're finally... You're finally.."

She paused and added, "Why didn't you give me a chance? Why did you choose someone else instead."

Luke stopped in his steps, and Luca followed suit.

Luca sensed that Luke was annoyed.

She looked at the side of his face with concern.

"Miss, I don't know you. You have the wrong person. Why are you butting in other people's business?" Every single word Luke said stabbed Mavis in her heart like sharp blades.

Mavis took a step backward and was in disbelief that the man in front of her could be so heartless.

He was once very devoted to Bianca, and he had always been this heartless to her.

Although she was still unconvinced, she could not do anything as he had someone else. It did not seem like he had any intention of cheating either. Hence, no matter how much she liked him, what could she do?

However, now that she saw the light at the end of the tunnel, Luke destroyed it by getting together with another woman.

Mavis was hurt.

Why was it not her?

Molly rushed out with a few bags in her hands and realized that Mavis had already caused a scene as several people were pointing at her, so she hurried forward. "Mavis, stop it. Let's go back."

Mavis shook off her hand and looked at Luke leaving with Luca as she said, "You'll regret being so heartless to me one day!"

"That's enough, Mavis. You got the wrong person. Don't dwell on it. Let's go." Molly saw that some people had already pulled their phones out, so she hurriedly pulled Mavis away.

Mavis was also relatively known in the business industry.

Although she was still in love with Luke, it did not mean that she could not pick someone else.

Molly still had hope that there would be someone who could untie the knot in Mavis' heart one day.

If this matter was made public, then there would not be many people pursuing Mavis anymore.

Those men loved that Mavis reigned the industry and she was straight to the point. If they knew that Mavis lost her senses for a man, they would lose interest. Mavis might have to grow old alone.

Luca glanced back slightly and saw that Mavis and Molly were not following them.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

"You're not a thief. Why are you acting so guilty." Luke noticed her small movements and teased her as the Mavis situation did not faze him at all.

"I was afraid that she would cause a scene and call out your name.." Luca said bluntly.

"I didn't expect to meet her." Luke frowned as he recalled her unusual behavior when he walked into the store. He deliberately asked, "But how did you know that she recognized me?"

Luca's mind spun fast. Of course, she knew Mavis. She had gone through several conflicts with Luke because of that woman.

However, she was not Bianca, so she could not talk about the past.

Luca said, "They mentioned you when they were waiting for their items, so I found out that the woman has liked you for many years."

"Really? How come I don't know that?" Luke asked her.

Luca was speechless. He was pretty smart. How could he not know?

He had known since long ago. Otherwise, how could Mavis be transferred away from the headquarters of T Corporation which left her no choice but to leave her post?

Saying that he did not know was too unbelievable.

"I heard that it's been ten years. I even heard from her best friend that she still thinks about you all the time. I didn't want to be treated as an onlooker, so I was going to leave, but I didn't expect you to come in at that moment," said Luca. novelbin

"She used to be a senior executive at T Corporation. If she had stuck to her duties as a senior executive, perhaps she would be in the same position as Jason by now. Too bad she had other ideas, and I could no longer tolerate it," said Luke.

There were too many people trying to make a move on him. He could not cut everyone off.

However, the woman he loved the most would be jealous when other women hit on him, so he would not allow such a thing to happen.

When Mavis volunteered to leave, he did not object. He happily agreed, but he did not expect that after all these years, she could still get herself into trouble.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2366-They placed the bags on the coffee table and Luca began to sort the things.

She was able to distinguish the items in the bag by the branding on the bags.

Luca took out the bag that contained dessert and handed it to Aunt Neile. “Aunt Neile, this is the cake Mr. Crawford bought for you and your family."

"There's something for me too?" Aunt Neile said in surprise, then looked at Luke to thank him. "Thank you, Mr. Crawford and Ms. Craw."

"You're welcome," said Luke. He looked at his phone screen and noticed some unread messages, so he said to Luca, "I need to go take care of some things."

"Okay." Luca nodded, and after seeing him go upstairs, she picked up a few supermarket bags and unloaded the things.

Some were kept at room temperature, whereas some had to be refrigerated.

After Luca sorted the ones that had to go in the refrigerator, she said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, these need to be kept in the refrigerator. Could you please help me store them?"

"Okay, Ms. Craw. " Aunt Neile went forward to help store them and noticed several ingredients for making snacks, so she asked, "Ms. Craw, why did you buy so many ingredients?"

"Mr. Crawford said that store-bought snacks aren't healthy, so I'm going to make some myself," Luca explained with a smile as it was all for the children's best interest.

"Right, making them yourself is much healthier for the kids as children love eating junk food these days. Store-bought snacks contain too many additives and preservatives, which are bad for a child's growth. It's great that you know how to make them. My daughter-in-law doesn't, so she has to buy

some outside when the kid demands it. He caught a mild fever from eating too much, so he had to go see a doctor." Aunt Neile sighed resignedly as her grandson had a fever again. However, it was not as bad as last time as her daughter-in-law and her son had taken leave.

Luca smiled, Aunt Neile was right, but she wondered if the kids would like the snacks she made.

Besides, kids only had one philosophy, store-bought would always taste better than homemade.

Perhaps her kids would think the same.

After keeping everything she bought from the mall, she carefully placed the more expensive gifts in the storage room as these were for Luke to gift to others. They could not be broken.

After thinking about it, she lifted them again and placed them on a shelf so that the kids would not accidentally break them when they came in to get stuff.

These gifts were for his and her parents anyway.

Luke was respectful to his elders, which meant that he was respectful to her parents, grandfather, and aunt as well.

After putting everything away, Luca heaved a sigh of relief.

When she returned to the kitchen, Aunt Neile said to her, “Ms. Craw, Mr. Crawford wants you to go upstairs for a while."

"Okay." Luca went up without hesitation.

She walked to Luke's bedroom door and knocked on it. She whispered so as to not wake up the children, "Mr. Crawford, are you looking for me?"

"The photographer has sent the photos. Come choose." Luke gestured for her to come closer.

Luca went over. She did not expect the photographer's work to be so efficient. She looked at the computer screen, which displayed the vintage-themed photos she took with Luke.

"They turned out well!" she exclaimed. Although she had a feeling that the final product would turn out well, she did not expect even the raw photos to be this good.

"The photographer suggested editing them all. Take a look for any ones you don't like," said Luke. He wanted every single photo of Luca, but he decided to respect her decision.

Hence, he let her pick. If there was one she did not like, he would not get the photographer to edit it.

"Alright." Luca bent down to hold the mouse to choose, but Luke wrapped his arms around her and she instantly fell into his arms.

"Mr. Crawford!" Luca lost her balance, and her hands were subconsciously placed on his shoulders.

"There are many photos. Sit down and see." The corner of Luke's lips curled up into a smile as he held her thin waist in his arms.

Luke's chest was glued to Luca's back.

This intimate sitting position made her blush.

"Mr. Crawford, I'll bring over a chair." Luca wanted to get up, but her body was being held tightly by him on purpose.

Through the thin shirt, she could feel the constant heat radiating off of Luke's body.

"Just sit here," Luke said in her ear.

Luca felt every cell in her body heat up. If this continued, she would be in torture...

The distance between the two was so intimate that it seemed like anything inappropriate for child audiences could happen at any time. Her whole body tensed up as she stammered. "I. I'm heavy."

"You're not heavy, don't worry. Look." Luke held her hand and placed it on the mouse. "I'll look with you."

"Haven't you already gone through them?" Luca subconsciously clicked the mouse, and the next portrait appeared in front of her, but her mind was not on the portrait at all.

She wanted to slowly break free, yet the hands wrapped around her waist had too strong of a grip, which stopped her from going anywhere.

“I only roughly looked through them. I didn't pay attention to detail." Luke noticed her little movements but had no intention of letting go. He lifted his right hand to place it on top of hers to move the mouse with her.

"Your gaze in this photo looks great," he said.

Luca looked at the portrait and remembered that the photographer asked her to have this posture and expression.

Everything from the outfit to the expression was great, but if she were to describe herself in the photo, it would be flirtatious.

"It's great, but I think the expression is a bit too much."

"No, it's just right, but nobody else can look at this photo," said Luke as he was not willing to show other men other sides of Luca's beauty.

When she was Bianca, he had many love rivals. Now that she was Luca, she had different sides to her. He was reluctant for others to see her flirty side.

Luca listened to how possessive he was and blushed. She gave up trying to escape as she knew that there was no point, so she just sat in his lap obediently.

Tommy woke up in a daze and opened the door as he wanted to go downstairs to get a glass of water from Aunt Neile.

When he passed by Luke's bedroom door, he took a double take and saw Luca sitting intimately on Luke's lap. He then said, "Oops."

Luca was in shock when she suddenly realized that when she came in, she had forgotten to close the door!

She had a bad feeling as she turned to look toward the door with a dull expression.

It was Tommy.

He instantly covered his eyes and yelled, "I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything! I was sleepwalking! Dad and Ms. Luca, pretend I was never here..."

He said as he ran back to his bedroom.

Luca closed her eyes and thought to herself that she was doomed.

She had always kept a distance from Luke in front of the children, but she had been caught by Tommy. novelbin

How could she explain her intimacy with Luke?

Would the children think that she was an evil person replacing her mom?

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2367-"Here are your photos. Pick your favorites." Luke handed him the remote.

Lanie took it and started going through his photos.

He flipped through all the photos but did not have many thoughts, so he looked at Luke, unsure of which to choose.

"I think they're all good," Luca said when she saw his expression.

They had looked through all the photos. She did not see much of an issue for Lanie to pick everything.

Rainie chimed in, "Yeah, Lanie is so handsome. If you can't choose, let's have them all?"

Lanie looked at Luke. He was unsure of which to choose.

"Let's take them all." Luke knew that his eldest son was not good at choosing photos, so he stopped embarrassing him and helped him make a decision.

Luca smiled, looked at Rainie, and said, "It's Rainie's turn." novelbin

"I'll choose carefully!" Rainie gave a victory gesture.

Luke started to show Rainie's photos.

She loved to look at the details, and each of her photos was selected with special care.

Aunt Neile, who was on the side, could not help but sigh in admiration. "Ms. Rainie is so beautiful. When she was doing her makeup, I overheard the makeup artist mention that she wanted to hire Ms. Rainie to be a child model for her studio."

"Really?" Luca knew that Rainie liked taking pictures. She looked over at her.

Rainie seemed to know what Luca wanted to ask her. She shook her head and said, "I don't agree. Daddy says that I should focus on my studies."

Luca smiled when she saw that the child was so sensible.

The Crawfords did not need Rainie to earn a living as a child model.

It was a waste of time for those people to try. After all, Rainie had to learn ballet in addition to her daily studies. Her schedule was full. She did not have the time to do these things.

She felt that Rainie had made the right choice.

Rainie took a look at the photos and eliminated a few where she felt that her movements were not perfect. She wanted all the rest.

Finally, it was Tommy's turn.

Tommy put down his fork, sat next to Luca, and said playfully, "Ms. Luca, I'm like Lanie. I'm not very good at picking photos. Can you help me choose mine?"

"Okay. If they all look good, let's take them all," Luca said. After all, she was more than happy to have more photos that marked the memories they made that year.

Luke helped put up the photos while Luca chose them.

Tommy was like Lanie. Both did not have strict requirements for photos. They would not look at them as meticulously as Rainie. After Tommy finished looking at the photos, he did not spot any that he thought seemed bad.

Luke decided to go with all the photos.

The rest was family portraits.

"One last set," Luke said.

Luca nodded. She knew he was talking about their family portrait...

When Luke displayed the photos, Tommy said, "I think we can take all of these because they all look good."

"Yeah, Daddy, we don't need to pick much. Let's choose a group photo and have the photographer enlarge it." Rainie said. She wanted to hang the family portrait in the living room.

That way, if someone visited their house, they would know that they were a happy family.

‘Enlarge it?' Luca could not help but wonder if the photo was going to be hung in the living room.

The kids had photos of them and Luke, but she could tell that Rainie was talking about enlarging another photo.

It was a photo of her with them...

Luca looked at Luke.

He nodded and closed the computer. "Okay, I'm going to talk to the photographer. Stay here and don't make any noise. In the evening, there'll be some important guests over for dinner."

"Important guests?" Luca looked at him in shock. She had not heard him mention that they were expecting any guests.

"Mm, Ray and Vivian are about to get off the plane. They'll arrive in an hour and a half. I've asked Lliam to pick them up," Luke said. He had forgotten to tell Luca.

"So soon? Do you need me to clean up the guest room?" Luca asked. There were a few guest rooms in the villa, but no one usually stayed overnight. Although they were cleaned daily, there were only

some simple decorations in the room. Even the mattress was covered with a dust cloth to minimize Aunt Neile's workload.

"No, they're just here for dinner. I've booked a hotel for them," Luke said.

His villa was small compared to Ray's family villa.

As such, Luke decided to book a hotel for them so that they could be more comfortable.

After all, Aunt Neile could not serve them because there was a language barrier.

"Is it Uncle Ray and Aunt Vivian? Great! I haven't seen them in a long time. I miss them so much!" Tommy clapped.

Bianca had brought him to Russia when he was a kid, so he was particularly impressed with the siblings.

Lanie and Rainie did not feel any different about them.

"Okay, do you want me to prepare Western or Russian food for dinner tonight?" Luca asked. After all, Ray was important to Luke. He had saved Luke and helped with a lot of things, so she paid special attention to hosting Ray and Vivian.

"Local food. You don't have to prepare anything special. They love home-cooked food," Luke said. He glanced at the time. "I have a meeting to attend. Promise me you'll be good, okay?"

"I promise, Daddy." Tommy was the first to respond.

Luke went upstairs with his computer.

Luca frowned. Luke did not tell her about Ray and Vivian's visit to A City before this, so she did not know if Aunt Neile had enough ingredients.

"Aunt Neile, what do we have in the fridge?" she asked.

"Ms. Craw, don't worry. Mr. Crawford told me last night, so we're all set for tonight," Aunt Neile said with a smile. She bought the groceries from the nearby supermarket this morning.

"I'm glad that we're prepared." Luca breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ray and Vivian requested home- cooked food, they had to have enough ingredients.

After all, they already had six people to feed. If dinner tonight included Ray and Vivian, it would not look great if they did not have enough food.

"Aunt Neile, let's start preparing for dinner now. Vivian likes sweet foods. I can make a cake for her," Luca said.

"How wonderful! We're getting a cake for dessert!" Tommy overheard her and clapped happily.

"Okay, Ms. Craw. Let's start now." Aunt Neile nodded and walked into the kitchen.

Luca told the three children, "Be good. We have guests coming later, so don't make a mess of the house."

"Ms. Luca, don't worry. We plan to go upstairs to read some books. We won't cause trouble," Rainie said sweetly.

Luca patted their heads respectively and said, "By the way, I put all the clothes I bought for you in my bedroom. You can go take them, try them out, and let me know if you like them. I'll make you some snacks, so go read your books."

"Okay, Ms. Luca." The children nodded and ran upstairs.

Luca took out some snack molds from the storage room and went into the kitchen.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2368-"Here are your photos. Pick your favorites." Luke handed him the remote.
