Ch. 2371..2380

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2371-Gordan called him the moment he replied to him.

"Brother, isn't it Sunday in A City today?" Gordan asked the moment Luke answered the phone.

"It's Saturday," Luke corrected him softly as he turned on his computer and looked at his unread work emails.

"You don't look at your phone on a Saturday? I've been looking for you all day." Gordan's tone was a little impatient, but he respected Luke, so he did not throw a tantrum despite his frustrations being accumulated all day.

"I had some work to deal with, so I put my phone on mute. I didn't pay much attention to it afterward." Luke read his emails one after another patiently. He noticed Gordan's anxious voice but did not ask him what it was about.

He did not need to ask Gordan to know why he was looking for him.

If he had known it would come to this, he would not have acted that way.

"Ahem, are you that busy?" Gordan wanted to immediately ask what was on his mind, but he held back.

"It's the end of the year," Luke continued with his short replies. Since Gordan did not ask, he did not intend to mention anything.

"Uh, did Vivian arrive at A City?" Gordan could not help and finally asked.

"I don't know." Luke stopped typing on the keyboard for a second, then he continued typing loudly as if nothing had happened.

"I've checked. She's flown over. Brother, just tell me the truth." Gordan frowned and wondered why Luke would not tell him. After all, they had gone through hell together before.

'He was almost tortured to death by those from the Island of Despair because of Vivian. Why is he still siding with her?'

"I really don't know." Luke did not react. He had promised Ray to lie for Vivian.

However, he did not expect Gordan to check where Vivian had gone.

"The plane she boarded with Ray went to A City. You're telling me that Ray went over and didn't look for you?" Although Gordan knew that Luke was helping them, he could not do anything.

"Have you signed them?" Luke asked.

"What?" Gordan did not understand what he was talking about.

Luke said, "The divorce papers."

He did not follow up on their divorce, so he did not know whether they were divorced or not.

"We're divorced." Gordan's voice revealed slight frustration.

He had insisted that he would not sign anything until he could talk to Vivian about it face-to-face. In the end, Ray brought a lawyer to his door and forced him to sign the document.

He was unprepared and was beaten up so badly that he had bruises all over his face. The lawyer grabbed his hand and stamped his finger on the agreement, so the divorce document took effect.

After that, Ray had his men keep watch of him and sent his lawyer to officiate the divorce agreement.

In the end, he was divorced and there was no way for him to reverse it.

Since Vivian filed for divorce, he had not seen her. He wanted to talk to her but could not find her.

"Since you're divorced, go live your own life. You're still you; she's still her. Why does it matter to you where she is?" Luke sensed his frustration and broke it down for him.

"We got married because she wanted to and now we're divorced because she wanted to as well. Don't I have the right to choose?" Gordan was a little angry. Vivian relied on Ray to force him to compromise both times.

It was the same for their marriage and divorce!

"Didn't you always want a divorce? She fulfilled your wish. Why are you bothered now?" Luke asked.

Gordan froze, and his hands clenched into fists.

He wanted to get a divorce, but he was pissed that it happened this way...

Gordan was overthinking the situation. Vivian wanted him more than anything, but in the end, she still filed for divorce. He was fuming as he thought she was playing tricks on him!

"Yes, I want this divorce, but I also have something to say!"

"What?" Luke asked. He heard Gordan's unwilling tone and was unclear if it was because he liked Vivian or whether he was pissed for being dumped like this.

No matter which it was, Gordan did not seem to understand that Vivian was determined to cut him out.

Vivian was avoiding him because she wanted to quickly move on.

'What?'

Gordan was taken back.

What did he want to say to Vivian? Call her disrespectful for coercing him into marriage and divorce?

Perhaps he wanted to scold her for leaving the house without his consent? Would he tell her that he did not need a dime of their family's money?

"I'm a man. Even if we get divorced, the division of properties between husband and wife should be negotiated. Did she leave the villa to me out of pity?"

'Was Vivian trying to pay me off?

'After we broke up, she gave me a property worth millions. Does she think of me as a prostitute? I don't need her money. It's not a lot anyway!'

"You feel like you've been given a handout?" Luke said.

"Yes, I want to talk to her and divide our properties properly. I don't need her charity. Brother, if you were treated like this by a woman, wouldn't you be upset?" Gordan gritted his teeth.

"Bea wouldn't treat me like that," Luke said. He glanced at the door. Luca seemed to still be upstairs.

"I didn't mean that!" Gordan was exasperated.

"What Vivian gave you is yours. If you think she's insulting you by doing this, you can sell the house and donate the money. You won't have to benefit her like this. Gordan, there are many ways to deal with the situation. It's not necessary to find someone who doesn't want to see you," Luke elaborated.

Luke was not sure if Gordan reacted as such because he was pissed about the villa or if he wanted to see Vivian.

Luke hoped that Gordan would think about it.

"I..." Gordan was a little frustrated. There was no way he could refute Luke.

"Perhaps Vivian isn't as complicated as you think. Maybe she thought that you liked the villa, so she wanted to leave it to you," Luke expressed Vivian's original intention.

She only bought the villa because Gordan liked it.

The renovation was based on his preferences, so even when they divorced, she just wanted to leave him with what he liked.

Gordan stayed silent for half a minute. In the end, he would rather stubbornly believe that Vivian acted as such to humiliate him.

‘She must be taking revenge. I treated her badly, so she's using money to humiliate me!'

"I can buy whatever I like. Brother, are you sure you don't want to help me contact her?" Gordan was sure Luke knew where Vivian and Ray were.

"There's nothing I can do about your issue," Luke said. He was once willing to trade an arm for Gordan's freedom.

However, at that moment, he could not make a sacrifice to have them deal with their affairs.

After all, it was between him and Vivian. No one could intervene.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2372-Gordan did not force him, nor did he blame Luke for his response.

He knew that Vivian had tipped Luke off in advance, so he did not press further. Gordon said, "I see."

"Sorry." That was all Luke could say.

"You didn't do anything..." Gordan was not that irrational to blame Luke for Vivian divorcing him.

After they ended the call, Luke put his phone aside. He looked toward the door when he heard footsteps.

Luca was heading upstairs.

"Luca." Luke stopped Luca, who was just about to walk into the bedroom.

"Huh?" Luca turned around to look at him.

The memory of sitting on his lap to look at the photos was vivid. She could not help herself from blushing.

"I have something to tell you," Luke said. He was worried that Gordan would find Luca and she would tell him about Vivian.

Although Luca was not someone who gossiped, he thought that anything could happen if he did not specifically warn her.

"Can I go see the kids first?" Luca asked. Luke did not look too serious, so she guessed it was not something important.

"We'll talk about it later, then." Luke thought that they could lay in bed and talk about it.

"Okay." Luca nodded, walked to Tommy's bedroom, gently opened the door, and saw that Tommy was about to climb into bed.

When he saw her, he said, "Ms. Luca?"

"It's okay. Go to sleep." Luca smiled and comforted him.

"Okay, Ms. Luca." Tommy nodded, climbed into his bed, and tucked himself in.

Luca helped him turn off the lights and then closed the door. She gently opened the door to Rainie and Lanie's bedroom. Both of them had washed up and were lying on their respective beds.

She then returned to her bedroom, took her pajamas into the bathroom, and started to wash up.

After she was done getting ready for bed, Luke was already sitting on the bed with a book he had not finished on his lap.

Luca did not ask him what he wanted to talk about. She sat in front of the dresser and applied some skincare products. After her skin absorbed them, she walked to the bed and got in.

Luke closed the book and lifted a corner of the blanket.

After Luca got in, he covered her with the blanket and said, "If Gordan asks you about Vivian, tell him that you don't know anything."

Luca was surprised that he wanted to talk about Gordan.

She could not help but ask, "Did Mr. Norton reach out to you?"

"Yeah, he wants to know where Vivian is." Luke nodded, put the book on the bedside table, and put his arms around her.

Luca rested her head on his chest. When they were out of the children's sight, she was used to being intimate with Luke.

She said, "Mr. Norton has connections and skills. How can he not know where she is?"

"He knows. He even knows about Vivian and Ray getting on the plane to A City." Luke rubbed her arm lightly and said, "He wanted to confirm it with me."

"Maybe Mr. Norton just wants to sort out how he feels and is unsure if he should go look for Vivian." Luca analyzed Gordan's current state of mind. novelbin

If he loved Vivian, he should be having a difficult time.

However, before this, he had always acted like he was extremely disgusted with Vivian. Luca, as a bystander, could not tell what Gordan was thinking about.

After all, many reasons might have contributed to Gordan's current state.

It could be that he had fallen in love with Vivian or maybe he felt like his ego was bruised because Vivian initiated the divorce.

Whichever it was, it was not great for Vivian.

If it was love, Gordan's love came too late. He did not acknowledge his feelings for Vivian in the past and caused her a lot of damage.

It would be ironic for him to speak of love at this time.

He might hurt Vivian if this was about his ego.

As such, even if Luke did not say anything, Luca would not help Gordan.

"I don't know." Luke thought that most people did not understand Gordan's feelings. Otherwise, he would not have had girlfriends all around Russia.

After he married Vivian, even though Ray was around to keep watch, he seemed to be restless and broke Vivian's heart often.

"I won't say anything if Mr. Norton comes to me. Mr. Crawford, I'm feeling sleepy." Luca yawned. She noticed that Luke's hands were getting closer and closer to the center.

She quickly lay down with her back to him.

Luke smiled. ‘She thinks that this will stop me from making a move?'

If he wanted to be intimate with her, he could still succeed when she was asleep. He did not want to take action just because he did not want to embarrass her.

Luke turned off the bedroom lights and laid down. "Good night."

"Good night." Luca closed her eyes. As usual, Luke settled down after he found a suitable spot around her.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

In the hotel.

After Vivian washed up, she sat on the sofa. She was not sleepy because of the jet lag.

She picked up her phone and saw that her friend, Jones, had sent her a message. She clicked on the notification and frowned.

Jones said: [Gordan came to me to talk about you again.]

Vivian sighed. She knew that Gordan had been asking around for her whereabouts...

Before she flew to A City, she stayed in the villa and never went out to avoid Gordan.

She occasionally went out only to buy items to prepare for her move to A City. Ray would always ask a lot of bodyguards to follow her and surround her so that others could not get close to her at all.

That included Gordan.

Vivian's heart would still ache when she heard his name. After all, she truly loved him, and it hurt a lot when she filed for divorce...

How could she not be in pain?

Nevertheless, she was determined not to be involved with Gordan anymore. Otherwise, she would never be able to move on from the relationship.

Vivian did not understand why he was acting as such. She regretted asking Ray to help force him to be with her in the first place.

She had enough of his coldness after so many years. She had already done her best to make up for what she did, so she did not know why Gordan refused to let go of her.

He did not love her, but he was making her life unnecessarily difficult...

[Jones, please don't tell him my whereabouts.] Vivian replied. She was typing with trembling fingers.

After a while, Jones replied: [I won't tell him anything, but it seems that he has something important to talk to you about. I understand that you don't want to see him, but why not give him a call and see what he wants to say.]

Vivian said: [No, even if I can't see him, I'll still be uncomfortable hearing his voice.]

After she mentioned the divorce to Gordan, she quickly changed her number. Gordan did not know her new number.

Ray had done a good job of keeping it a secret. The number she was using was sorted out by Ray's subordinates.

Even if Gordan hired someone to investigate it, he would not be able to find anything.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2373-Unless someone disclosed it to him.

However, Gordan had never bothered to get to know her, so he had no idea who her friends were.

He only knew Jones, whom he was closest to among the bunch.

[Okay, take care of yourself in A City!] Jones replied within minutes.

Vivian looked at the hotel's decoration. She was in a family apartment suite that Luke booked for her and Ray. Everything here was of A City's style.

Everything here was great.

[A City is great. Jones, I'm sorry for getting you involved with Gor...] Vivian typed. When she got to Gordan's name, she paused and felt a little guilty. She then typed: [I'm sorry that Gordan is harassing you. You can block him. Tell him that you don't know about me.]

[Don't worry, I know what to do. No matter what he says, I won't tell him anything about you.] Jones assured her.

Vivian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jones' reply. She put down her phone and opened the curtains.

It was still snowing outside.

This was A City, so it looked different from Russia. It was not as cold, and the snow was beautiful.

Vivian placed her slender fingers on the window and said softly, "Today is the start of my new life. Vivian, you have to live for yourself. You can't think about him and spend all your effort on him anymore."

The next day.

The snow had stopped.

Luke received a call from Jason and wanted to head back to the office to work overtime. After Luca made breakfast for the children, she sat in Warren's car and arrived at the hotel to wait for Vivian.

Vivian rushed down as soon as she got Luca's call.

Ray went down with her as well.

Luca got out of the car, saw the two of them, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ray, are you coming with us as well?" "Ray is going to meet someone. He has something to discuss with that person, so he came downstairs with me." Vivian looked at Ray and said, "I'll head off now."

Ray nodded. There was a faint smile on his cold expression. He looked at Luca and said, "Ms. Craw, thank you for taking care of Vivian."

"No worries. Vivian is my friend." Luca smiled lightly. 'Sure enough, Ray's smile is only for Vivian.'

Luca felt that it was fortunate for someone to have such a great younger brother. She suddenly remembered that she also had a younger brother but they were not related by blood. She wondered how Amur was doing.

Luca opened the car door and said to Vivian, "Vivian, get in the car. Mr. Crawford has given me the address and room key. Let's go there now."

"Okay." Vivian smiled softly. Although she did not have nice facial features, the smile on her face could drive away the cold winter a little, making people feel warm.

After she got into the car, Luca looked at Ray, who was still standing on the side of the road. He seemed to be worried about Vivian.

"Mr. Ray, Vivian and I are going to make a move now."

"Mm, thank you." Ray did not say much. He trusted Luca to take care of Vivian. After all, she was Luke's associate.

Luca got into the car, and Warren drove the two to an apartment complex next to Capital University.

Warren glanced at the navigation app and confirmed with Luca. "Ms. Craw, this is the location that Mr. Crawford sent me."

"This is the access card." Luca took out a card from her bag and handed it to him.

Warren took it and swiped his card to enter the building.

Vivian looked at the apartment building. Along the way, she saw the beautiful views of A City. She thought that the city was developing fast.

There were new developments from the last time when she was here, which was more than three years ago.

She had a deep affection for A City since the first time she visited with Gordan and Ray.

She sat in the car, watched Warren drive into the building, and began to think about her new future.

Warren was unfamiliar with the property layout, so he drove around twice to find the building where Vivian's apartment was.

After he parked in the visitor parking space, Luca said to Vivian, "This is it. Let's get out of the car."

"Okay." Vivian opened the car door.

Luca said to Warren, "Please wait here. We may need to go to a supermarket later."

"Okay, Ms. Craw." Warren sat in the car and waited for their instructions.

Luca took Vivian upstairs, swiped the card, and took the elevator to the third floor. She handed the card to Vivian and said, "Mr. Crawford chose the third floor because Mr. Ray said that you don't like high floors. This is your new house. You should be the first to open the door and walk in. Also, this lock is a three-layer lock with a keycard and fingerprint. After you enter, you can set your fingerprint and password at the back."

Vivian was moved by her attention to detail. She nodded, took the room card, and said, "Thank you." She put the card on the sensor.

A long beep sounded, and the door unlocked itself automatically. Vivian took a deep breath, opened the door, and welcomed her new future.

The apartment was fully furnished and was decorated in Western European style as per the blueprint given by the designer. Vivian walked into the door, took a deep sniff of her new place, then turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Crawford's people did a good job with the design of the place."

"Do you like this style?" After Vivian walked in, Luca put on the shoe covers placed at the door.

"I like it. I also like the interior design style of A City, but it doesn't seem to match the apartment. I'm happy with the arrangements," Vivian said. She also liked the style of the hotel that Luke arranged for her. novelbin

"I'm glad that you like it. Mr. Crawford mentioned that the place is fully furnished, but for the kitchen, you have to complete it yourself. Take a look around. If you need anything, we'll go to the supermarket

to buy them," Luca said. She found the main switch, then turned on all the lights.

The lights in the living room all lit up.

The natural lighting in the apartment was great, and the space was well lit together with the lights in the living room.

Vivian loved it.

"I'll go and check out the bedroom," she said.

"The bedroom? It should be there." Luca said. She had studied architectural design and knew the basic layout of these apartments. She successfully found the master bedroom, opened the door, and showed it to Vivian.

"It's so beautifully decorated." Vivian walked into the bedroom and could not help but feel touched. Her wardrobe, bed, dresser, and other essentials were all ready.

She opened the wardrobe, glanced at it, and said, "This wardrobe is big enough."

"The bedroom next door should be the second bedroom. Mr. Crawford asked the designer to convert the second bedroom into a combination of a guest room and a study so that you don't need to study in the living room. You can go directly to the study, and Mr. Ray can use it as a bedroom when he visits too. He wouldn't need to go to a hotel,” Luca told Vivian. Luke had roughly informed her about the apartment's renovation during breakfast that morning.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2374"The interior was well thought out..." Vivian sighed, walked out of the master bedroom, and opened the door of the bedroom opposite.

Luca said, "If you don't like living alone, the desk can also be set up in the master bedroom. The designer has reserved enough space for it. Of course, you can also rent out the second bedroom to a girl, making the apartment more lively."

"Mr. Crawford is so thoughtful." Vivian smiled as she looked at the furnishings of the guest bedroom. The designer did not take it less seriously just because it was the guest bedroom.

She also liked the decorations of the guest bedroom. "I prefer to have a space to myself. I plan to live alone for the time being."

She did not have many friends when she was in Russia, so Vivian did not plan to rent her room out.

She was used to being alone.

Moreover, Vivian did not want others to know about Ray and their family.

"Mm, it's better to live alone. It’ll be quieter." Luca knew Vivian’s temperament so she did not say anything regarding that.

Vivian was still young, so she would be fine living alone. If she encountered any challenges, there was still Luke...

He was close to Ray, so he would be sure to keep watch on Vivian.

Vivian turned around and flashed a smile at Luca. "Can I go and see the kitchen? I've made plans. After school, I'll cook and make desserts at home to improve my cooking skills."

"The kitchen should be here." Luca took her to the kitchen, glanced at it, and said, "In A City, as long as there’s enough space in the house, the designers will design wet and dry kitchens. The dry kitchen was on the outside. You can bake some desserts here. The wet kitchen inside, and you can prepare your favorite foods there if you are interested."

Vivian looked around. There was some basic equipment though the place was missing a few tableware and cooking utensils.

"I want to learn to cook the local food here. Your cooking last night was delicious." After she praised Luca, she said, "I don't know what utensils and seasonings to buy." "Let's go to the supermarket together. Also, I notice that there are still a lot of things missing here. Why don't we do this? I'll check the whole house and make a list. If anything is missing, we can go buy it later."

"Luca, you're so kind." Vivian hugged her and excitedly said, "If we can get everything ready, Ray and I don't have to stay in the hotel anymore!" "Yeah, spending the new year here would be much more comfortable than staying in a hotel," Luca said. That was what she truly felt.

"Great, I can't wait to experience New Year's in A City! Luca, thank you for helping out." Vivian thanked her.

Luca smiled, picked up the phone, and started from the kitchen to see what they needed to buy.

If Vivian wanted to learn to cook local food, the seasonings were essential. They needed kitchen utensils and sponges for cleaning too.

Then, she headed to the bathroom and found that there was nothing there. Luca included toiletries and cleaning supplies on the list, as well as some other items for the bedroom.

After half an hour, she had a full list of items.

Vivian saw it and said in surprise, "There's so much that we need to buy!"

"Yeah, there'll be more things that we need for your new home. Since you didn't bring anything with you, let's buy everything in one go. It's better than buying things as you find out what you're missing," Luca explained. The things on her list were all that Vivian could use in the future.

"Luca, you're so thoughtful." Vivian thanked her once more.

Luca smiled softly and took her arm. "I remember that there's a huge supermarket nearby. You can buy everything you need there. Let's go."

"Okay." Vivian agreed.

The two went downstairs, got into Warren's car, and got to the supermarket.

There were a lot of things to buy, so Luca asked Warren to park the car and help them with the shopping in case she and Vivian could not carry everything.

Warren readily agreed.

The three of them each pushed a shopping cart. Luca took the lead and started shopping. She was thoughtful and would consult Vivian for advice.

Domestic products were not the same as Russian products. She would explain patiently if Vivian did not understand what it was.

Warren was on the side, carrying and putting things away for them.

Looking at the dazzling shelves of goods, Vivian could not help but sigh in admiration. "There are so many things in the supermarkets of A City. If you weren't here, I wouldn't even know what to choose."

"Choose what you like best. Let's go buy your bedding products, shall we?" Luca suggested that since the bedding area was not far away.

"Okay, let's choose one more set for Ray." Vivian thought to herself that she would need two sets to use alternately. If Ray were to stay with her, she would have to prepare one more set.

"I wrote down three sets. Let's go." Luca walked to the area where four-piece sets were sold. novelbin

Just as they were ready to browse around, a voice came from behind. "It's you."

Luca thought the voice was a little familiar, so she looked back. It was Mavis Laviere, whom she had bumped into yesterday.

She frowned. 'I haven't seen her in a while but bumped into her two days in a row. Why is my luck so bad?'

Mavis glanced at Vivian, then at Warren, who was standing beside Luca. She stepped forward, picked up her phone, and took a photo of her standing beside Warren. "I didn't expect you to be a playgirl."

Luca raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean?"

She did not understand how she looked like a playgirl.

Mavis, as expected, liked to spew accusations.

"You went shopping with Mr. Crawford yesterday and you're shopping with other men in the supermarket today. I wonder how miserable would you be if Mr. Crawford finds out?" Mavis stubbornly believed that Luca was romantically involved with Warren.

"Go tell him, then," Luca turned around and said. She was not at all bothered.

Mavis was not telling the truth, and Luke would not believe her even if she sent him the photo.

After all, Warren was his subordinate. Luke was also the one who asked Warren to help. There was nothing unusual about them standing together.

Mavis could not help but feel irritated when she saw Luca's attitude. 'Did I misunderstand the situation?

'The woman in front of me has a charming, vixen-like face. How could this possibly be a misunderstanding?'

Mavis raised her phone again.

Warren could not stand her any longer. He covered her rear phone camera and said, "Ms. Laviere, please don't take photos of us without our consent."

"You know who I am?" Mavis asked. She was taken back. 'Could he be my former suitor? I have no impression of him, though...'

"I'm Mr. Crawford's subordinate. Mr. Crawford asked me to be here. If you continue to take photos of us, I'll have to take action," Warren said with a cold expression on his face. Of course, he knew about Mavis.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2375-'Luke's subordinate?'

Mavis was stunned. She thought that Luca was cheating on Luke and rejoiced that she caught her in the act.

She knew that Luke hated being deceived and betrayed the most...

Warren shouted at her when he saw her stand there dumbfoundedly, "Aren't you going to leave? Do you want Mr. Crawford to come to the scene and ask you for an explanation in person?"

Mavis snorted coldly. It was the weekend, so there was a large crowd in the supermarket. Her actions had attracted the attention of many.

Mavis said, "Don't be too complacent. You're not worthy of him."

"Are you worthy of him?" Luca asked.

Mavis was taken back. She stomped her foot and turned around to leave.

Vivian waited for Mavis to leave before she asked softly, "Luca, that lady just now..."

"She should be Mr. Crawford's former subordinate. She might've thought I was somehow involved with Warren," Luca said helplessly as she chose the four-piece bedding set for Vivian.

"She thought that you..." Vivian was surprised and could not help but laugh. "She likes Mr. Crawford?"

"I don't know. What color do you like?" Luca chose the best for Vivian. It would be better to buy them in a specialty store, but they had to buy many things, so it was more convenient to shop here.

"I like light colors," Vivian said. Since Luca did not want to talk about it, she would not press further.

Nevertheless, anyone could tell that Mavis was hostile toward Luca.

When a woman was hostile to another woman, it was usually because of a man. She was familiar with the feeling.

In the past, Gordan had shown up with many women to piss her off. She had seen how they were jealous and would try to compete with her.

Although these women were nothing but props for Gordan to force her to back off, she would still be sad every time she encountered such a situation...

"This brand of home textiles is pretty good. Look at the quality of the samples here. If you like this quality, we'll choose this one." Luca was not affected by Mavis.

She had not gotten together with Luke, and even if she kept thinking about it, she still could not be with him.

As such, Luca thought that she had no reason to be sad.

"This one is of good quality. I'll go with this one for all three sets. I remember that Ray also likes pure cotton sheets." Vivian touched the sample and knew that it was pure cotton.

"Okay, we'll take one in light pink and another in light yellow. As for the second bedroom, let's go with gray?" Luca helped her decide.

"Luca, you're wonderful. I like both of these colors!" Vivian was a little surprised that Luca knew that about her.

She was attentive.

Sure enough, the women who could stand beside Luke were not your average Janes.

Vivian thought of Bianca. When Luke was captured by those from the Island of Despair, she not only took care of the children but also stabilized the family while managing a multinational business like T Corporation.

Under everyone's doubts and pressures, Bianca supported the entire Crawford family without breaking a sweat.

She heard Ray mention that Bianca did not even get Old Master Crawford involved to manage the situation.

Luca, although she had not done anything like Bianca, also seemed like a tough cookie.

With admiration in her heart, Vivian and Luca continued to pick the items on the list.

Two hours later, after some shopping, the backseat of the car that Warren drove was full of supermarket bags filled with household items.

"We're finally done! Luca, you're so impressive." Vivian gave her a thumbs up.

The supermarket was huge, but they followed Luca's footsteps and took the most efficient path.

Luca smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back to your place and put these where they should be."

"Okay!" Vivian was influenced by Luca. She was looking forward to her new life more and more.

After the two got into the car, Warren drove the car off.

Mavis opened the car door and looked at their car with resentment in her eyes.

Sure enough, it was Luke's car.

‘Well, the man was right. He's Luke's driver and was there to drive Luca around. This woman is something else if she can get Luke to give her a driver...'

Mavis clenched her fists in jealousy.

'Why her? After Bianca left, another woman appeared in front of him! If any woman can do it, why can't

I be together with him?!'

Half an hour later, with the help of Warren and the property manager, Luca and Vivian successfully moved everything into the apartment.

Luca started to sort the items out. She put the four-piece bed set in the washing machine to wash and dry, then put the other items in their respective places.

Of course, this was Vivian's home. She was just helping. In the end, Vivian decided where to place everything based on her habits.

At noon, the two were finally done.

Vivian slumped on the sofa. She was drained when she said, "I used to have a maid at home do all these chores. I've never been so tired."

Luca smiled.

The Lacroix family was affluent, so they had maids for everything.

"How does it feel to do it yourself now?" Luca asked.

"I feel tired... However, I'm full of hope for my upcoming life. After all, many things here were chosen by me. I can understand why Ray didn't agree to it when I proposed to study in A City on my own." Vivian

sat up and handed Luca one of the milk bottles.

"Thank you." Luca took it and asked, "Why didn't he agree?"

"We had maids to do everything that we just did. Ray was probably worried that I wouldn't survive living alone, so he didn't agree." Vivian smiled bitterly.

She was so well-protected. Ray had disagreed instantly when she mentioned she wanted to study abroad. They were in a headlock because she refused to let the family's maid and bodyguard come with her.

"How did you persuade Mr. Ray, then?" Luca wondered. Ray loved Vivian with all his heart. She was curious how she ended up persuading him.

"I told him that I want to start a new life and I don't want to live being protected for the rest of my life," Vivian said as she drank a mouthful of milk. "After he heard me say that, he locked himself in the study for a long time. I thought he would continue to disagree, but unexpectedly, he came out after a while and agreed."

"Mr. Ray loves you very much." Luca put the straw into the milk and took a sip.

Ray must have taken that half a day to think about every possibility.

Vivian wanted to start a new life, but he did not want to let her out of his protection.

"Yeah, I also want to try to leave the family and start a new life on my own. Look, I did it!" Vivian smiled, her eyes gentle.

Luca could see how excited she was for her new life and said, "Give me a call if you need anything."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2376-"If I get into trouble, I'll be sure to ask you for help. I hope I won't annoy you too much," Vivian said playfully.

"No." Luca smiled and took a sip of milk to ease her thirst.

Vivian glanced at the time. It was noon. She stood up and said, "Luca, you did me a big favor today. Let me treat you to lunch."

Luca glanced at the time and stood up as well. She accepted Vivian's kindness. "Okay, I'll pick the location?"

"No problem!" Vivian said cheerfully, "You're familiar with the place. I'm sure whatever you pick will be delicious."

Luca smiled and shook her head. "I don't eat out very often. I arrived in A City just half a year earlier than you. Let's go, I'll take you to experience your college life in advance. The students are currently on vacation, so we might not have many options.” novelbin

"Where are we going?" Vivian was curious.

"You'll know when we get there," Luca said as she led Vivian downstairs.

After getting in the car, Luca asked Warren to drive to the food street near Capital University.

There were universities nearby, so there were many business opportunities. The municipality set up one of the streets as the area's food street so that college students could spend time on this street instead of going to the city.

After they arrived, Vivian followed Luca out of the car. She looked at the street in front of her and wondered, "Where are we?"

"Food street. Do you see it? If you turn left at the end of this place, you'll arrive at the university you'll soon be studying in, Capital University. Students here don't have to go to the city. They can find everything they need here. The students are on vacation now, so many shops are closed. I'm sure some are still open, though. Let's pick a place to eat," Luca said. She held Vivian's hand and walked inside.

In the end, the two chose a restaurant that sold burgers and sat down inside. They decided to have lunch there.

Vivian said softly, "Luca, this is the first time I've been to this kind of shop."

"There'll be many opportunities in the future. Let's try this," Luca said.

Wherever Vivian was, she ate in only high-end restaurants. Things were going to be different at Capital University.

She did not live at home as she did in college. She was now in a country far from Russia and had to change her living habits. Luca brought her here so that she could adapt to the ordinary life in A City.

Luca picked up the menu and translated it for Vivian because it was in English.

Vivian chose some foods she wanted to try, and Luca ordered some more. Then, she handed the menu to the boss.

After a while, Luca's phone rang after the boss brought out their order.

"I'll take a call." Luca picked up the phone, saw that it was Luke calling, and pressed to answer it. "Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?"

"Where are you?" Luke asked.

"I'm having lunch with Vivian on the food street of Capital University," Luca replied. She glanced at Vivian. She was drinking a milkshake.

She was happy to drink a milkshake that cost three or four dollars.

"Mm, just making sure that you're eating on time." Luke knew she was eating with Vivian, so he did not say much.

Luca was surprised that he called her to make sure that she was eating on time.

"Okay..." She paused and asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you have anything else that you want to talk about?"

"No, I still have work to attend to. I'll hang up now." Luke finished speaking and hung up the call.

Luca listened to the busy tone and felt an indescribable feeling of happiness. He called her because it was meal time and he wanted to remind her to eat.

"Was it Mr. Crawford?" Vivian asked.

"How did you know?" Luca put the phone down.

"Your face is a little red, so I thought..." Vivian smiled. She no longer had any doubt that Luke and Luca were dating.

Ray had told her that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Although he did not share any details, Vivian was not bothered with it anymore.

Moreover, she felt that Luca was a good person.

"Don't make fun of me," Luca said helplessly.

"Is this called milkshake? It's nice!" Vivian took a sip of the milkshake with a smile and praised it. It was something that she had never tasted before.

"This is a local shop that has been around for more than 20 years. If you like their milkshake, let's order another," Luca said as she handed her some utensils.

"I want to leave some space for the food. Everything looks delicious." Vivian took the utensils Luca handed her and started eating.

Luca said, "They sell burgers, which are very popular with the locals here."

"I'll taste the food later carefully." Vivian started with the veggie burger. The roasted vegetables were crispy and delicious. Her eyes lit up as she said, "It's so delicious! I'm going to bring Ray here to try the food here!" "If you want to bring him here, do it as soon as possible. It's mentioned there that they're only open until tomorrow." Luca pointed to the announcement posted on the wall by the boss.

Vivian asked in surprise, "Why?"

"The boss wants to go home to celebrate the new year," Luca said. Most of the shop owners here came from elsewhere. "They earn a year's money and go back to their hometowns to reunite with their families during the new year."

"Is that so? The festivals in A City are interesting. Festive traditions all have to do with family. Then I'll bring Ray here tomorrow." Vivian said, "Tomorrow, I plan to check out of the hotel with Ray and move to the apartment. There's a hotel next to my apartment, right?"

After all, only two people could fit in the apartment. They had bodyguards with them this time round.

"Yes, there's one near the apartment complex," Luca said.

"Okay, I'll move in with Ray tomorrow and we'll spend the new year there." Vivian said, "By the way, Luca, you and Mr. Crawford will come over for the new year too, right?"

"I can do that, but Mr. Crawford will likely be back in Crawford Manor with the children for the new year." Luca agreed since she had nowhere to go anyway.

"I'm looking forward to celebrating the new year with you!" Vivian said, picked up the skewers, and took another bite.

Two college students came into the shop and sat at the table next to them.

"Do you want some juice? These burgers will make you feel full, but the juice can relieve the greasiness," Luca asked her.

Vivian's eyes lit up as she nodded quickly.

Luca raised her hand to the female shop owner and said, "We want two bottles of grape juice."

"Alright!" The owner moved quickly and immediately served them the grape juice. "The grape juice you asked for. Enjoy."

"Thank you," Luca thanked her.

Vivian also thanked her, "Thank you."

The college students at the table beside them looked at the two and gossiped with each other.

Although they tried to be quiet, Luca could hear them clearly. They were talking about her and Vivian's appearance.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2377-Luca lowered her gaze and was glad that Vivian did not understand English.

Otherwise, she would be sad to hear what they were saying about her even if she was used to others pointing and looking.

"Luca, why aren't you eating?" Vivian asked when she saw that Luca had stopped eating.

"Nothing to worry about." Luca picked up a burger and took a bite.

The boy at the next table could not stop himself. He picked up his phone, walked over, and looked at Luca with a smile. "Hello, classmate. Do you want to add me on Facebook?"

"I'm not your classmate." Luca did not look at the boy. She acted coldly.

"We can be friends even if we're not from the same university. Besides, you don't know what university I'm from. How are you so sure that we're not from the same college?" The boy did not give up when faced with her indifference.

"I'm old enough to be your aunt. Besides, I'm not interested in people who like to talk about other people's appearances," Luca said coolly and took a sip of her grape juice.

He was an ignorant little boy who had not experienced the world. She found him annoying.

The boy blushed as if he had been caught doing something bad and hurriedly returned to his seat.

They had spoken softly when they were talking about Luca and Vivian. He was impressed that she heard their laughter and discussion.

Vivian teased her, "Luca, you're so charming that even a little boy is asking for your contact details."

"Don't make fun of me." Luca shook her head. If Vivian knew what they were talking about, she might not be as happy as she was.

"I didn't mean it as a tease. It was a compliment," Vivian said.

Time was unfair. Luca was about her age, but there was no sign of aging on Luca's face.

Her beautiful face would make any man fall in love with her with one look.

Vivian looked at her with admiration.

No one would doubt it if Luca walked into a college and said that she was a college student.

"Have more of the fries." Luca put more fries on her plate.

"Thank you." Vivian took them, took a sip of grape juice, and continued to eat.

After the meal, Luca took Vivian around Capital University and the surrounding area to familiarize her with the environment.

After that, Warren sent them back to Vivian's hotel.

When they got to the hotel, Vivian invited her. "Luca, do you want to go in and relax for a little?"

"No, I'll have to head off." Luca turned her down. She wanted to go back to the office to complete the final report since she had some time.

This way, after New Year's holiday, they could apply for the drug to be listed.

After Vivian got out of the car and went back to the hotel, Warren asked, "Ms. Craw, do you want to go back to the villa now?"

"No, drop me off at T Corporation. I need to attend to some work," Luca said. Although she was exhausted after two days of shopping, she still planned to sort out the matter at hand as soon as possible.

That was because she did not know when Abel would give out a new mission or a new threat.

Luca had been very careful with everything, including her drug research. Although it was based on Shanks' research, she had made some changes. Even if Abel's pharmaceutical company launched the same drug, it was not going to be the same as the result of her final research.

Therefore, as long as it was not leaked, her research would create high profits for Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

"Okay, Ms. Craw. Please fasten your seat belt. We'll go now," Warren said and drove to T Corporation.

Luca buckled her seat belt and closed her eyes. "I'll take a short nap. Let me know when we get there."

"Yes." Warren glanced at the back seat and started driving.

After they arrived at T Corporation, Luca headed to her floor.

There was no notice to work overtime, so she was the only one on the entire floor. The surroundings were quiet and even a little creepy.

Luca walked back to the office after she punched in.

She took out the thick stacks of documents from the safe and sat in her office chair to work on them.

Luca went through the documents for about an hour when someone knocked on her office door.

"Come in." She did not look up as she was certain that it was Luke.

"Why are you here?" Luke opened the door and looked at Luca, who seemed to be working hard at her desk. Half an hour ago, Warren texted him saying that Luca went to the office to work after she sent Vivian back to the hotel.

However, he was in a meeting at the time.

"I want to sort these documents out before the vacation so that we can apply for the permit right after the new year," Luca said.

"Mm. Come with me upstairs?" Luke asked as he picked up the papers she had left on the side of the table.

The ones on the left had not been processed while the ones on the right had been processed. He knew about her habit and grabbed the unprocessed files.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca watched him take away all the unprocessed documents without waiting for her answer.

"I'm bored. Come with me," Luke said cheekily.

'He's bored? How could he be bored with work?!'

Luca sighed and closed her laptop. "Okay, Mr. Crawford."

She stood up. When Luke wanted her company, she could only obey. After all, Luke had so many excuses and reasons.

Luca followed Luke to the top floor.

They bumped into Jason when they got out of the elevator.

"Boss, Dr. Craw, good afternoon." When Jason saw them, he took the initiative to greet them with a slight smile on his face. He then lowered his head and walked away.

He did not stop for a second for fear of being blamed.

Jason left before Luca had the time to say hello to him.

Luke walked into the office with the thick stack of documents, put it beside the desk, pulled over a chair, and placed it opposite his chair.

"Is it okay for you to sit here and process your documents?" he asked.

"Okay." Luca knew that she could not say no. She was glad that at least there was a table here for her to do her work. She did not want to sit on the sofa to keep her distance from Luke.

She sat on the chair, turned on the laptop, and resumed her work.

Luke's eyes were locked on her. He did not look like he was going to attend to his work.

Luca went through a few pages and could not stand it anymore. She looked up at the person opposite her and said, "Mr. Crawford, don't you have something that you need to do?"

"I'm pretty much done with my work for today," Luke said. He got through his work rather quickly.

Luca was taken back by his words. "If you're done, why don't you get off work? Go home to spend time with Lanie and Rainie."

"I want to be with you," Luke said. "They don't like being watched by me."

Luca felt helpless. Although she liked being watched by Luke, she felt guilty. She would also think that he might know what she was thinking in her mind.novelbin

She said, "Mr. Crawford, if you don't want to go back home, why don't you find something to do? I can't work with you staring at me like this."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2378-The corner of Luke's lips curled up a little as he gave a mocking smile.

“Leave me alone," said Luke. “I've already finished handling the documents."

There came the sound of someone knocking on his door after he said that.

The smile on Luke's face disappeared. Every time there was a knock on the door, that would mean he had work to do.

Luca knew about that too, so she said, “Mr. Crawford, there's work to do."

“It seems like it." Luke placed his hand on the mouse and moved it. The computer screen lit up. Only then did he say, “Come in."

Tina pushed the door open and walked into the office. She was startled for a moment when she saw Luca sitting right opposite her boss. She wondered if she had come in at the wrong time.

This was why Jason asked her to send the documents into the office herself. It turned out that this was happening.

She happened to find out the truth of the rumors surrounding her boss, but at the same time, she had disturbed her boss while he was spending time with Luca.

She was lucky enough not to get fired for doing such a thing.

“Boss, there are a few documents that you need to read through. And there'll be a video conference 10 minutes later. Mr. Wright will go into details with you about the cooperation." Tina bit the bullet and handed the documents to him.

She also noticed that Luca's laptop screen showed that she was working.

It seemed like Luca was initially working overtime downstairs, and their boss found out about it. That was why he brought her here.

“Where's Mr. Doyle?" Luke asked. Jason should be the one informing him about these.

“Mr. Doyle said he had something to do. That's why he asked me to inform you," replied Tina. She covered Jason's *ss instead of betraying him.

“Got it. You may leave now," replied Luke.

"Okay." Tina immediately hurried out of his office.

After the office door was closed, Luca rose to her feet, preparing to tidy up her documents.

“What are you doing?" Luke pressed her hands that were about to pick up the documents.

"Aren't you having a meeting later?" Luca asked. It would be inappropriate to stay here if Luke was having a meeting.

She was afraid of knowing too much confidential information about T Corporation now.

What Abel had asked her to do the last time was like a nightmare that would never go away.

“It's not an important meeting. You can stay." Luke knew that she was worried and said indifferently.

It was just some minor issues that the partner wanted to make things clear to him.

"Okay..." Luca knew that Luke was not planning to let her leave. She had no choice but to sit down and continue with her work.

Luke let go of her. Then, he began to handle the documents Tina had just handed to him.

After Tina left Luke's office, she went straight to Jason's office. She looked at Jason, who was drinking his cup of coffee behind his office desk. She could not help but roll her eyes at him.

"Tina, have you handed the documents?" Jason smiled. He knew Luca was in Luke's office, and that was why he asked Tina to do the job.

"How dare I refuse to do what you asked me to?" Tina stepped forward and picked up the documents beside his desk. Those were the documents she had to handle.

"Don't be harsh to me. I just wanted you to enjoy the show," replied Jason. He knew Tina would not really get mad at him. He smiled and slid another copy of the document into the ones she was carrying in her arms.

"Oh, it was fun watching what was going on in there. Thank you for that. If Boss blames me for anything, you'll have to look for someone else to do this for you." Tina wondered why Jason did not enter the office himself when he told her that something good was happening.

Fortunately, Luke would not blame them for such petty things.

Luca and Luke were not doing anything that could not be seen by others in the office, after all.

"He's not such a mean person. Besides, you're a woman. Even if you stumbled into a scene you shouldn't have, Boss wouldn't fuss about it with you. But if I'm the one who went in and I happened to see something that I shouldn't, what do you think he'll do to me?" Jason made a throat-slitting gesture across his throat.

Judging from how Luke valued Luca, if Jason truly saw Luca doing anything with Luke, he would be gotten rid of right away.

"You'd better not ask me to do this again. My heart won't be able to stand it. Isn't there another secretary who's in the same batch as me in the secretaries' office? Ask her to go," replied Tina. If Tina were not that close with Jason, she would have thought that Jason was pranking her.

"Fine. I'll ask someone else to do this next time, but their lips aren't as secure as yours," Jason spoke the truth.

If the others in the secretaries' office saw such a scene, they would probably not be able to keep it to themselves.

"Fine. I know I'm good at keeping secrets. Are there any other documents I need to work on?" Tina pouted. Her love life was already not working out well. If anything happened to her career, she would end her life.

"No. I'll hand it to you myself if there's any," replied Jason.

“Okay. Give me some more work to do," said Tina. She had to depend on Luca's medicine to sleep at night. This also meant she could work well in the daytime.

However, she would still think about Amur.

To stop herself from overthinking, she had to focus on work. Tina also found out that concentrating on work could distract her from what she felt about Amur. That was why she had become a workaholic these days.

"What's wrong with you lately? Why are you behaving like a workaholic? You're going to finish all the work on hand if you continue to work so hard. The other secretaries in the secretaries' office will be losing their jobs soon," Jason teased her, but he noticed that something was wrong with Tina.

However, he had no idea what was in the woman's mind. Besides, he had a wife, Sue. It would be inappropriate for him to express his concern for Tina. It was to prevent others from misunderstanding him.

"Come on, the number of secretaries in the secretaries' office will only increase as long as Boss is still here. There's a bunch of projects coming after the new year," said Tina. After that, she carried the documents and left.

Jason stroked his jaw, lost in his thoughts.

Tina had built a friendly relationship with everyone in T Corporation.

However, she had set boundaries for workplace friendships. She would not intervene in other people's matters, and the others would not know about her private matters either.

If he were to look for someone to get to know about Tina's matter, there was only one person—Luca.

However, Luca was still in Luke's office now, and there was no way he could tell Luca about it right away.

Moreover, it looked like there was something wrong with Tina, but there was nothing wrong with her work. It made it even more difficult for Jason to explain the situation to Luca.

Jason pondered for a moment. He had no choice but to put this behind him.

In Luke's office.

10 minutes had passed. There was indeed a video call request.

After Luke answered the call, he immediately discussed the details of the project with the other party.

Luca was handling her documents beside him. After Luke started the video conference, she slowed down her typing speed, lowering the noise from the keyboard. She tried her best not to disturb Luke and the person on the other end of the line.

Luke hung up the call after handling the problem. Then, he continued with his work.

The two of them sat opposite each other doing their work without disturbing each other. When Luke finished his work and it was time to get off work, he reminded Luca.

Luca reckoned that she could finish the rest of the documents tomorrow. After she told him about it, she placed the documents back into the safe and returned to the villa together with him.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2379-When they arrived at the villa, the kids came forward and surrounded them. It lightened up the atmosphere.

“Daddy, does your holiday start tomorrow?" Tommy held Luke's hands and looked at him eagerly.

The kids hoped that the adults could start their holidays earlier. That way, they could have time to accompany them.

It had been a long time since their family celebrated New Year's together happily.

The kids hardly felt any festive cheer during New Year's celebrations when the impostor Bianca was still here with them. The impostor Bianca would turn Crawford Manor upside down and ruin the festive mood.

She argued with Susan every day. It was just like when their grandmother was still living in the house with them. It was chaotic.

Now, their mother had finally come back. That was why they hoped that they could start the holidays earlier and spend the rest of the time with them.

"I still have to work tomorrow," replied Luke. T Corporation would let the employees start their holidays after tomorrow.

However, that did not mean that Luke would go on holiday as well.

"Ah, there's one more day to go." Tommy pouted. He thought he would be able to keep his parents by his side tomorrow. Then, he lifted his head and looked at Luca.

"I'll be working too." Luca smiled and looked at the child. She took off her coat and hung it on the hanger stand.

"Daddy, you're the boss. Why can't you take a day off earlier to accompany us?" Tommy swung Luke's hands and whined.

Rainie, who was standing beside them, could no longer stand it. She quickly came forward and pulled her younger brother away. Then, she said, "Tommy, Daddy's busy with his work. He'll be able to keep your company once the holiday starts."

"It's unlikely that Daddy will be available during the holidays," Lanie said calmly. They all knew how busy Luke was during the holidays every year.

It was especially so during New Year's.

People would drop by their house with different kinds of excuses. Some of them could not be turned down. Luke would be much busier than he usually was.

“Why don't we go on vacation to Maxwell City this coming New Year?" Luke suggested after he noticed that the kids were complaining.

It was not easy for the family to reunite again, and Luke did not want to spend his festive holidays entertaining the guests.

"Yes! Yes!" Tommy immediately clapped his hands and agreed to it.

Lanie let out a sigh and looked at his father. "Daddy, you haven't called Great-grandpa back, have you?"

"Why?" Luke indeed had not returned Old Master Crawford's call.

"Great-grandpa came looking for you today. He said he tried to reach you but he couldn't get through. That's why he called the house phone number. Aunt Neile was the one who answered the call. He told

Aunt Neile something," said Lanie. Aunt Neile had put him on the speaker, so Lanie heard what Old Master Crawford said too.

Luke picked up his phone and glanced at it. He had muted his phone before he attended the meeting.

"What did he say?" Luke asked. Judging from the look on Lanie's face, Luke knew that Old Master Crawford must have bad news to bring him.

"You can ask Aunt Neile," replied Lanie.

Aunt Neile happened to be walking out of the kitchen at this time. When she saw Luke, she came forward and said, "Mr. Crawford, you're back."

"Did Old Master Crawford call?" Luke asked. He held Tommy's hands that were tugging on his sleeve restlessly.

Aunt Neile nodded and told Luke what Old Master Crawford had told her, "He said your mother couldn't reach you. That's why she contacted Old Master Crawford and said that she wanted to come back here to celebrate New Year's. He wants you to get ready for it."

"She's coming back?" Luke frowned. He had muted Allison's text messages as she kept on sending him dozens of messages every day. He would only read them when he had the time to do so.

Naturally, he would not answer her calls either.

Even if he knew Allison called, he would not return her calls either. After all, she would only be talking about getting plastic surgery.

However, there was no cure for her face. She was the only one who had not realized that.

"Yes, that's what Old Master Crawford told me. He also meant to say that he had no way of stopping her, so he's going to leave it to you," said Aunt Neile.

If Old Master Crawford stopped Allison from coming back, people would speak ill of him if this spread out.

Luke frowned with a disgusted expression on his face. He had just transferred Allison to another hospital, yet she was starting to make a mess of his plans by insisting on coming back to celebrate New Year's.

He was worried that her return this time was not truly to celebrate the new year.

Instead, she might be coming back to cause trouble!

The peaceful days of the Crawford family would be gone again.

"Okay. I got it," replied Luke as he turned to look at Luca.

Luca knew Allison's return would cause chaos this time, but it was impossible to let her stay abroad for a long time.

It was not easy to handle Allison's matter.

She could not accept that her face was disfigured, and she thought that there was a way to make her face normal again.

“Mr. Crawford, would you like to deal with it first?" Luca thought Luke would have to deal with this first.

"I'm going upstairs to handle this. Don't wait for me for dinner." After Luke said that, he let go of Tommy's hand, turned around, and made his way up the stairs.

Tommy walked toward Luca and asked in a soft voice, "Ms. Luca, Daddy doesn't want Grandma to come back, right?"

"That's not true. It's just that it's a little difficult to deal with this matter." Luca stroked Tommy's head. If it were not for Allison being such a troublemaker, Luke would not be so cold and heartless to her.

If she could behave like an ordinary mother, things would not have ended up like this where the two shared a broken mother-son relationship.

Tommy nodded even though he could hardly understand what Luca meant. He did not like Grandma either.

After Lanie watched Luke head upstairs, he said, "If Grandma is coming back, will she be staying at Crawford Manor or here with us?"

"Grandma has a scary face..." Rainie paused for a moment. She had seen Allison's face a few times before. She got frightened every time she saw her.

Besides, she would have nightmares in her sleep every time she saw her face.

"Mr. Crawford will make the arrangements," replied Luca. Even though she had no idea how Luke would be arranging it, no one could stop Allison from coming back here to celebrate New Year's.

"Let's have dinner first," said Luca. She held Tommy's and Rainie's hands, shot a glance at Lanie, and brought them to the dining room.

Upstairs.

Luke gave Mr. Griffin a call.

"Mr. Griffin, send someone to clean up my mother's villa," Luke instructed.

"Young Master Luke, you're planning to let Madam Allison stay there when she's back?" Mr. Griffin asked.

"Yes," answered Luke. If he let Allison stay in Crawford Manor, no one in Crawford Manor would be able to live in peace during the new year. It would be impossible for him too.

He would not let Allison ruin his plans.

"Okay. I'll send someone over to clean up the villa and buy some daily necessities, alright?" replied Mr.Griffin.

"Yeah. I'll leave it to you, then. Also, send one of the maids there to the villa," added Luke. If he wanted Allison to stay in that small villa, he had to get everything ready for her.

Otherwise, she would nitpick and try to find a way to return to Crawford Manor.

“Okay. I understand. Young Master Luke, Old Master Crawford intends to leave this matter to you to handle." Mr. Griffin delivered Old Master Crawford's message.

The old master was not planning to bother himself with Allison's matters.

Given the circumstances now, no one could get her under control. She was Luke's mother, so Luke should be the one dealing with her.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2380-"Is there anything else the old master wanted to tell me?" Luke asked. Old Master Crawford's attitude toward Allison was clear enough when he let Luke deal with the matter.

The old master did not want Allison back here.

However, since she was Luke's biological mother, he should let Luke make the decision.

Still, who would be able to stop Allison if she wanted to come back? Allison would only cause trouble if they stopped her from coming back.

“Old Master Crawford didn't say much about Madam Allison. But he was hoping that you could bring the kids back to Crawford Manor to spend New Year's Eve together with him,” said Mr. Griffin. The old master was thinking of having a family reunion and celebrating the new year together with them.

"Okay." Luke ended the call. Then, he called the interpreter he hired for Allison in Seoul.

"Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry. I didn't get to stop Ms. Allison from booking her flight back." Once the call was put through and before Luke could say anything, the interpreter took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"When's her flight?" Luke massaged his temples that were hurting.

Although Allison had not returned, Luke already had a feeling that she would certainly make a scene.

"I only saw her flight information 10 minutes ago. The flight will take place the day after tomorrow. She'll arrive there around three o'clock in the afternoon," replied the interpreter. The moment she found out about the flight, she thought of stopping Allison, but Allison was determined to return.

When she was about to call Luke, her phone rang.

"Okay. I got it," said Luke.

"Mr. Crawford, there's one more thing I need to report to you," said the interpreter.

"Go ahead," replied Luke.

"I just checked Ms. Allison's flight information. All the flight tickets are sold out. I won't be able to take the same flight as Ms. Allison," explained the interpreter. She was paid to be Allison's interpreter and also to take care of her.

However, Allison did not inform her when she was booking her flight. The reason was that she always reported to Luke.

"She's insisting on coming back. It'll be her problem if she can't communicate with others," said Luke.

Allison was not someone who was highly educated. She only depended on her pretty looks to get together with Luke's father.

She did not know any Korean.

However, since Allison had the galls to act like this, it would be her problem.

"Mr. Crawford, after she was transferred to this hospital, Ms. Allison got closer with one of the beauticians here. The beautician claims that she's from Imperial Capital too. Although this isn't a big deal, I think I need to report to you about this," said the interpreter.

"Okay," Luke did not take it seriously.

Before Allison caused so much trouble, she had many friends too. However, after she got herself into trouble, those friends turned their backs on her.

Perhaps the beautician only made friends with Allison because of her money.

Luke hung up the call without keeping what the interpreter said in mind.

Luca carried the tray upstairs and headed to Luke's bedroom. Even though Luke did not close the door, she still knocked on the door.

"Come in." Luke put down his phone when he realized it was Luca.

Luca placed the tray on his desk and said, "Mr. Crawford, please have your dinner first."

"Why did you bring my dinner upstairs?" Luke glanced at the dishes on the tray and looked at the woman in front of him.

"I thought Ms. Allison's matter would be troublesome to deal with and you might not think of going downstairs to have your dinner," answered Luca. Then, she waited for his reply.

"Yeah. It's troublesome," Luke admitted. There were only two women who could make him frown in his life. One of them was Luca, who was in front of him.

The other one would be Allison.

The troubles Luca gave him were about love.

On the other hand, Allison only annoyed him with the trouble she caused.

"Are you sure she'll be coming back for the new year?" Luca asked.

"It's been confirmed. The flight ticket has been booked too. She'll arrive here the day after tomorrow," answered Luke. Luca knew what kind of person Allison was too.

Luca let out a sigh.

"Where will she be staying? I don't mean anything. It's just that the kids sounded like they were overwhelmed..."

"I've asked Mr. Griffin to send someone to tidy up her villa," replied Luke. He knew Allison's appearance would frighten the kids.

That was why he made such arrangements.

Luca nodded. That was the best arrangement. At least Allison would not be staying at Crawford Manor, and they would still be able to live peacefully as well.

"I'm bringing the kids to Crawford Manor to celebrate New Year's Eve. Why don't you come with us?" Luke invited her. Although there were a few days to go before it was New Year's Eve, he wanted to know if she would come along with him.

"I won't be joining you on New Year's Eve. It's an important day for family reunions. It's inappropriate for an outsider like me to join you," Luca declined.

Even though Allison would not be there, there was still another woman, Susan, who did not like her.

Luke wanted to tell Luca that she was not an outsider. They all knew her true identity.

However, he could not tell her now.

Since Luca refused to go, he might as well just let her spend New Year's Eve here quietly.

"Okay," replied Luke. Although Luca refused to go back now, after Luke got rid of the Island of Despair, he would be able to make her stay by his side.

"It's not going to be a peaceful new year this year," exclaimed Luke. He deliberately said that in front of Luca.

If it were not for Luca's current situation that was unsuitable for traveling, he would certainly bring Luca and the kids for a vacation abroad. It did not matter where they would be going as long as they couldnovelbin

stay away from Allison and Susan's war.

It was a pity that staying in A City was the best choice to ensure Luca's safety.

Although Matysh was not in A City now, if he found out that Luke had taken Luca on vacation, he might make a move.

A City was the safest place for her.

"Mr. Crawford, it'd be better not to get the kids involved in such things." Luca felt sorry for the kids. They already knew how to read one's expressions at such a young age due to frequent family disputes.

"They're from the Crawford family, and they're destined to be extraordinary. I'll try my best. That's all I can say," replied Luke. He could not protect his kids well all the time.

After all, he had a company to manage.

Luca smiled. She was not planning to continue to disturb him and said, "Mr. Crawford, please excuse me. I'm going downstairs for dinner."

She brought Luke's dinner upstairs first before she had her dinner.

"Okay," replied Luke.

Luca made her way down the stairs and headed to the dining room. Then, she sat down at the dining table. Tommy could not wait and asked, "Ms. Luca, is Grandma really coming back?"

"Yes. Your grandma will be back the day after tomorrow." Luca picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. Only then did she reply to Tommy.

"Ah..." Tommy shook his head.

"But she's not going to stay here this time. She won't be staying at Crawford Manor either. She'll be staying in her own villa," Luca told the kids about Luke's arrangement.

"But Grandma will go back to Crawford Manor if she comes back. She'll argue with Grandma Susan once she returns to Crawford Manor. Then, Great-grandpa will be mad again," said Rainie. She had already figured out what would happen on New Year's Day.
