Ch. 3151..3160

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3151-"I love them!" Tommy immediately shook his head. He enjoyed everything Luca made!

He did not expect their father to suggest something so ordinary to eat.

"As long as she makes it, I'll love it," said Luke.

Tommy nodded and then heard his brother remind him, "Daddy is just worried about Ms. Luca. He doesn't want her to be too tired."

Luke threw him a glance of appreciation.

It made sense that the eldest son was the smartest. Luke had not said anything, but Lanie could understand his intentions.

Whether it was barbecue or tacos, even if Aunt Neile were to help, Luca would be busy. Hence, Luca suggested having a simple meal, which would make it much easier for Luca.

"Are we doing something wrong, then…" Tommy thought to himself. There were three meals, and their mother would probably have to prepare for a long time…

He did not want to make his mother tired either. The kids began to reflect on whether they should not have been so noisy just now and whether they should not have made such unreasonable demands.

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's the weekend. You deserve good food. And cooking for you all doesn't tire me," Luca said to the kids.

The three kids’ expressions became relaxed when they heard Luca say so.

Even though only Tommy said it out loud, they all felt the same way, thinking that the requests they made were too much for Luca.

"That's great, Ms. Luca. I'll help!" Rainie spoke first.

"I'll help too!" Lanie and Tommy chimed in.

"Good, then you'll all help, and we'll enjoy good food together!" Luca smiled at them.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room became lively again.

Aunt Neile walked out of the kitchen. She had been listening to their conversation all along.

Over the years, Aunt Neile had watched the kids grow up.

Bianca changed drastically after losing her memory. Not only was she unable to take care of the kids, but she also caused trouble for Luke. Aunt Neile had seen Luke being busy with work while also taking care of the kids all these years. It was not easy.

Now, with Luca around, it seemed that many burdens could be relieved. Aunt Neile thought to herself that if Luca stayed in this family, the atmosphere of this family would only get better.

At the thought of this, Aunt Neile smiled, looked at them, and said, “Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, you're back."

"Yes, Aunt Neile. Thank you for tonight. You may go home now," replied Luca. They were going to eat outside, so Aunt Neile delayed her off-duty time to take care of the kids at home.

"Okay, Ms. Craw,” said Aunt Neile as she took off her apron and prepared to hang it up in the kitchen. Then, she heard Luke say, "Aunt Neile, Lliam is waiting for you outside. He'll drive you home."

"Oh, sir, there's no need to bother!" Aunt Neile immediately waved her hands. "How could I possibly accept that?"

"Aunt Neile, it's late, and it's not safe for you to go home alone. We're worried, so let Lliam take you. Driving home is quicker and won't take up as much time,” convinced Luca. She had been wondering why Luke asked Lliam to wait for a while a moment ago.

She thought Luke had to go out for something later, but she did not expect it was for Aunt Neile.

Luke was still very attentive, and he never mistreated those who were loyal to him.

Although Aunt Neile only did housework, Luke treated her well.

Luca thought to herself that she loved Luke not just for who he was but also for his qualities. He never looked down on others who helped out, despite his own wealth and background.

He never treated anyone poorly as long as they sincerely helped him.

Aunt Neile felt it would be impolite to decline further. Thus, she replied, "Alright. Thank you, Mr. Crawford. Thank you, Ms. Craw. I'll head off from work now."

"Okay, Aunt Neile." Luca nodded, then glanced down at the three kids. "Have you finished your homework?"

"All done! We were just waiting for Daddy and Ms. Luca to come back and check it!" answered Rainie.

They were obedient kids. The first thing they did when they came home was to do their homework. Even though they knew their parents would not come back immediately, they did not slack off or delay. They dropped their backpacks after coming home and began doing their homework at their desks.

This was basically their routine every day after school.

Luca was very satisfied. She nodded and looked at Luke. "I'll check the kids' homework. You may go ahead and do your work."

"Okay." Luke nodded. While they were on their way back, he checked a few emails.

Even though he left work on time today, it did not mean the employees at the company were not working overtime. He had to handle those emails too.

After Aunt Neile left, Luke went upstairs to work while Luca stayed downstairs with the kids.

They watched cartoons while she checked their homework. After checking, she reached for the signature space at the back of their workbooks. Tommy asked, "Ms. Luca, can you sign your own name instead of Dad's?"

"Huh?" Luca blinked her eyes in surprise.

"You always sign Daddy's name, but we want you to sign your own," added Tommy.

Luca understood what they meant and smiled. She shook her head and replied, "Not yet, but I promise I'll sign my own name in your workbooks in the future."

She then signed Luke's name.

Her name should not appear in the kids's workbooks for now.

Luke had already set up a backstory for her old identity, so she was supposedly studying abroad now.

How could someone studying abroad suddenly come back?

If the teachers found out, they might suspect something. She did not know whether or not Abel had arranged someone at the school, so she had to be careful.

There was a flicker of disappointment in Tommy's eyes, but it was just a moment. He nodded. "Okay, Ms. Luca. We understand."

Luca knew the children were disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. After signing Luke's name, she told the kids to put away their workbooks.

They did not say anything else and put away their workbooks. By then, the cartoons had finished playing.

Luca went back upstairs with the children.

She glanced at Luke, who was working in the opposite bedroom. She then went back to the master bedroom to freshen up.

After washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table. With a pen and paper in hand, she began writing a list of groceries needed for the weekend.

The kids had requested food like tacos and barbecue, so they needed quite a few ingredients to make it enjoyable. Otherwise, the ingredients would be too limited, and it would not be as good.

Also, she had never made these things at home before. Hence, the kitchen might lack some seasonings. She had to write the list in detail to make it easier for Aunt Neile to help with the shopping.

While she was writing the list, Luke walked in and saw her busy doing something at the dressing table. He asked with concern, "What are you doing?"

"I'm making a grocery list. The kids want a lot of things, so I'm getting it all down. It'll be easier for Aunt Neile when she goes shopping," explained Luca, showing him her grocery list.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3152-"Do we really need this many ingredients?" Luke furrowed his brows. Even though it was Aunt Neile who went shopping, it was Luca who would be doing all the seasoning.

Each ingredient required different handling, and Luke was worried that Luca would end up too busy and exhausted.

"Yes, the more variety there is, the happier the kids will be when they eat," replied Luca. She deeply understood this point.

Back when her family was struggling financially, it did not matter how much or little food there was as long as there were a variety of choices. It was a great experience even if the food was just what the grown-ups deemed as junk food.

She would always find happiness in it, even if she could not eat to her heart's content.

Hence, one should enjoy it to the fullest when enjoying food.

The prerequisite for that was having a wide variety.

As Luke listened to what Luca said, he chuckled and shook his head. "You'll tire yourself out with so much to do."

"If we promise something to the kids, we can't just brush it off, right? With this many ingredients, they'll enjoy their meal, and we'll be happy too. There’s no need to worry about me getting tired, especially with Aunt Neile's help.

"And the kids said they'd help out as well,” said Luca. Even though she did not expect the kids to be of much help, their willingness warmed her heart.

"Yes, that's true. They're truly fortunate," replied Luke. They were fortunate to have a mother who doted on them so much.

Luca looked at the mirror. That way, she could see Luke beside her.

His hand was resting on her shoulder.

She smiled and patted his hand. "I'm happy to have you too."

"I'm happy too," replied Luke. He bent down to plant a kiss on her forehead.

Luca smiled blissfully.

The following day, Luca got up and went to work as usual, unaware that a storm had stirred up in the hospital. Pierre was making a fuss because of her.

Pierre stared at Johann, who was busy writing his medical records.

Johann seemed to have not heard anything about the issue Pierre had raised earlier and said nothing about it.

"Dr. Park, acting like you don't know anything isn't your style," said Pierre as he clenched his teeth. He was a member of the Mallory family. He could afford the medical expenses and even provide Johann with whatever resources he wanted.

However, Johann's attitude toward Luke and Percy was vastly different from his attitude toward himself.

Pierre believed that Johann's behavior like this was simply disrespectful!

That was why it only made him more dissatisfied.

If it were not for the fact that there were no doctors in A City as competent as Johann, he would have replaced him by now!

"Mr. Pierre, what did you just say?" Johann was indeed playing dumb. After all, he could not answer Pierre. "I'm focusing on writing your medical records. I didn't catch what you said."

"I said, can Luca perform dry needling on my leg and cure it?" asked Pierre.

"What? Dr. Craw knows how to perform dry needling? Why didn't I know about this?" Johann could only pretend to be clueless about it. He also wondered about Luca's feud with Pierre. Even if Luca was truly talented, what did it have to do with Pierre?

She definitely would not agree to treat him.

Still, what frustrated Johann the most was how Pierre found out.

Considering Luke's stance, Percy probably would not mention this matter…

"Don't play dumb with me here. I know everything. She did dry needling for someone before, and that person was the one Percy asked you to do surgery for. You're telling me you don't know? Do you think I'm a fool?" asked Pierre. Early this morning, he received a call from Karen.

She mentioned that she talked to Luca yesterday, but Luca refused to help him.

When he heard that Luca refused, Pierre felt like it was equivalent to declaring that his leg would never recover to normal again.

He could not accept such a result.

He even believed that Karen’s past conflicts with Luke and Luca were the reason for Luca's refusal. Hence, he planned to approach the situation from multiple angles, persuading others to lobby on his behalf to convince Luca to agree to treat him.

The worst-case scenario would be getting Karen to help him kidnap Luca.

Nevertheless, there was still hope. As long as these people could help, there would be hope. That was why he wanted Johann to help persuade her.

They said physicians were like their patients' parents. He believed Johann would definitely help him. Still, Pierre did not expect that as soon as he mentioned it, Johann would play dumb here!

It drove him mad!

"Really?" Johann continued to play dumb. At the same time, he was thinking that he had to find out who leaked this information.

If it was someone from the hospital staff, there was no need to keep that person around. He would suggest dismissing them to the hospital director.

After all, spreading such things violated the professional ethics of medical staff.

"Don't play dumb here. You're my attending physician. You must help me!" Pierre's attitude was very domineering.

"I'm not playing dumb, I just don't remember this matter. How about this? Let me first verify this matter. You know, I have a lot of work to do, and I'm busy. Helping with surgeries is a common occurrence. novelbin "Like your leg, it was your brother who asked me to help with the treatment too. But once the surgeries are successful, I'll hand them over to other doctors to follow up, and I won't continue to oversee the case myself.

"So, I truly have no idea what you're talking about." Johann could only make up various excuses to play dumb while secretly cursing the person who leaked the information.

"Johann Park!" Pierre clenched his teeth as he called out his name.

The smile on Johann's face disappeared at once.

He glanced at the intern beside him and instructed, "Leave, and close the door."

The intern glanced at Johann and felt a cold shiver running down his spine. He had been interning with Johann for so long, but he had never seen such an expression on Johann's face before.

Normally, Johann greeted everyone with a smile. Even when patients were critically ill and needed surgery, he would calmly tell the doctors around him to stay calm and that it was not a big deal. He assured them that they could help the patient get through it.

Even when Johann was reluctant to bring the intern around and might go around wearing a sour expression, he would not have this look on his face. He looked serious, intimidating even.

"Yes." The intern dared not to linger. He went straight out of the ward and closed the door behind him.

Only Johann and Pierre were left in the ward.

Pierre could only semi-recline. He looked up at Johann, who was next to the bed.

He suddenly felt a little panicked when he saw Johann's expression.

Why did it feel like Johann was going to beat him up?

Pierre was well aware of his own physical condition at the moment. If Johann were to decide to throw a punch at him, he definitely would not stand a chance of fighting back.

However, doctors were not allowed to hit patients. If Johann really did beat him, no matter how skilled a doctor he was, his career would be over.

Unless Johann did not want to be a doctor in A City anymore.

However, Johann returned to A City despite many hospitals abroad offering him opportunities, which meant he wanted to be a doctor in A City. Otherwise, he would not have come back.

At the thought of this, Pierre was not as scared as he was just now. His eyes met Johann's dark and ominous gaze. "What, you're gonna hit me? Don't you wanna be a doctor anymore?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3153-No matter who it was, nobody would dare to offend a doctor.

However, Pierre was different. He felt that he did not need Johann's help with treatment now. Moreover, without the help of Luca, he would find it difficult to stand up normally. He just decided to go for it, and he did not care anymore.

Johann loosened his clenched fist. If he could, he really wanted to punch him in the face!

However, he could not do that because he was a doctor. No matter how capable a doctor he was, if he laid hands on a patient, his career in A City would be over.

Johann took a deep breath, pulled a chair over, and sat down. As the rage in his eyes dissipated, he looked at Pierre again. This time, his gaze contained a hint of mockery.

"Mr. Pierre, how important do you think your reputation is, anyway?" asked Johann.

Pierre noticed Johann’s tone had changed, and he could not help but wonder if this was some kind of magic trick? How could his emotions shift so easily?

"I just want you to ask Luca, that bitch, to perform dry needling on me. Is that such a difficult thing? She was able to perform dry needling treatment for your patient before, so why can't she do it for me now?"

"Let me make this clear. Luca helping that patient with dry needling wasn't about preserving my or your brother's reputation. It was because she wanted to help your sister-in-law." Johann knew that Pierre had always harbored ill feelings toward Nina, so he emphasized that she was his sister-in-law.

Pierre's expression turned ugly when he heard Johann emphasize that Luca could not be bothered about the Mallory family and that Nina was his sister-in-law.

"Jean got into trouble, and your sister-in-law took the heat for it. That's why Luca stepped in to help. Otherwise, do you really think Dr. Craw would have the time to deal with some troublemaker's problems?

"She doesn't waste her time on troublemakers or on rich kids like you. Simply put, she's not obligated to treat you. She's not a hospital doctor, and you can't force her to treat you, got it?

"Mr. Pierre, you're not a kid anymore, so why haven't you grasped such a simple thing? I suggest you wise up, accept the physical therapy I've arranged for you, and aim for the best recovery possible."

After Johann said that, he immediately rose to his feet.

"Answer me one more question," Pierre quickly added when he saw Johann was about to leave. novelbin Johann stopped in his tracks and turned around. The smile in his eyes was already gone.

He could not bring himself to smile at someone like Pierre. He had never seen someone as shameless as him!

"Yes?" asked Johann. He was wondering how to make Pierre give up.

What he said just now was meant to discourage Pierre, but it inadvertently sparked another plan in his mind.

"If Luca agrees to help me with dry needling, can my leg recover?" asked Pierre.

"As a doctor, I can't answer such hypothetical questions. Even if someone were a genius or a miracle doctor, they wouldn't dare to guarantee they can definitely cure someone.

"All I can say is, with Dr. Craw's help, you should be able to stand up and walk normally. But there might still be issues when it's windy or rainy,” replied Johann.

Even after a fracture had healed, there might be some residual effects. For instance, the previously fractured area might ache during bad weather. However, with good care and if the fracture was not severe, these effects would be minimal.

"Just hearing that from you is enough!" Pierre's expression darkened. As long as he could stand up and walk normally, he did not care about any residual effects.

He just needed to be a normal person!

After all, the Mallory family did not need a cripple as their heir. It would be hard for people to trust a cripple in business partnerships.

He had to become normal.

Johann frowned. When he saw the look on Pierre’s face, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Should he not have said those words?

However, he could not lie to Pierre and say that Luca's dry needling would not help his leg recover…

"Mr. Pierre, I advise you to give up on that idea and actively cooperate with physical therapy. Who knows, it might have the same effect?" added Johann. Then, he walked out of the ward.

Pierre clenched his fists. The joints in his fingers made a cracking sound from the force.

He was not the type to accept such a fate!

If Johann said that Luca could help him, then she definitely could!

Pierre refused to resign himself to this fate. His plan became clearer in his mind.

Luca sat in her office and suddenly sneezed.

"Sorry." She sniffed and turned to look at Rhett, feeling a bit embarrassed. Her nose was not even itchy, so why did she suddenly sneeze?

Fortunately, she was fast enough to react. She turned her head away to avoid further embarrassment.

"It's okay, Dr, Craw. Is the air conditioning in your office too cold?" Rhett asked with concern. "Shall I adjust it higher for you? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"No need. It's fine like this." Luca rubbed her nose. "Is there anything else? Have you received the materials sent by the professor at Capital University?"

"Yes, I have. The materials indicate that he has covered up to the fourth section of the fifth chapter in his lectures, and he also brought the textbooks. He seemed to know that I'd be preparing the lessons, so he gave me two copies of the textbook." Rhett handed one of the textbooks to Luca.

Luca nodded, knowing that these materials were not prepared by the professor at Capital University but by Evan after he communicated with the dean of the university president.

"Could you please work on preparing the teaching materials at home this weekend? Can you have them ready by Monday?" asked Luca.

"No problem, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded. He would complete every task assigned by Luca.

If it were not for her appreciation of his talent, he would not have had the opportunity to enter the laboratory, let alone receive the bonus from the previous research…

Typically, assistants in such projects only received a small portion of the bonus as they mainly did paperwork.

However, Luca brought him into the laboratory, allowing him to participate in experimental research and learn things he could not learn at school. At the same time, he was also considered half a researcher now.

Therefore, working overtime like this was no big deal.

"You don't have to prepare the teaching materials too thoroughly. Just outline the general content as I'm not sure how much we'll cover in two classes.

"How about this? you prepare a few more sections of content, and after I teach the students next week, we'll know how much we can cover in one class. Then we'll know how much material to prepare for next time,” Luca pondered for a moment and added.

"It's okay, Dr. Craw. I have nothing to do this weekend anyway. I'll prepare as much as I can. This way, when things get busy at the company, I won't neglect my work," replied Rhett.

Luca was very satisfied with his work attitude, but she was not the kind of boss to exploit her employees. Hence, she said, "Don't just focus on work all the time. Sometimes, you should go on dates too."

Rhett’s face turned red as he replied in a low voice, "Dr. Craw, I don't have a partner right now, and I don't want one either. I just want to focus on work."

He knew his own situation. If he did not step up his game, he would be left in the dust.

"I’m not trying to push you or anything. I just think it's important for you to have a life outside of work too,” Luca explained with a smile.

"Don't get too caught up in work all the time. Remember to balance work with some leisure too.”

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3154-The Fifth Herb "I get it, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded. He held the textbooks and the files given by Luca as he stood up. "Dr. Craw, if there's nothing else, I'll head out to work."

"Wait, there's one more thing," replied Luca. She picked up her phone and transferred some money to Rhett.

"Today's Friday, and everyone's been working hard lately. Can you go ahead and book a restaurant and a karaoke room? After work, gather everyone to grab a bite and sing some songs.” "Alright, Dr. Craw. Will you be joining US?" asked Rhett. Luca was a considerate boss to her subordinates, so it was not surprising for her to fund such activities.

If they had time to relax, they would be able to work better the following week.

"I won't be going. I want you all to have fun. I'll cover the expenses," replied Luca. She knew that if she participated, they would not be able to fully enjoy themselves.

Besides, she would rather spend time at home with Luke and the kids.

Therefore, she took care of the finances and let them enjoy themselves.

Rhett opened his phone and saw the considerable amount Luca had transferred. It was enough for them to have a good meal and enjoy a luxurious karaoke session.

With a plan in mind after seeing the transferred amount, Rhett said," Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll arrange everything to make sure all the researchers in the group have a great time."

"Great. Do invite Ms. stone too. She has helped a lot with paperwork for our group," added Luca. There had been a lot going on recently, and without their help, she would not have handled those matters so smoothly.

Hence, chipping in some money as a token of appreciation was the least she could do.

"Okay, Dr. Craw.” Rhett took the money, grabbed the textbooks and files, and left Luca's office.

Once the office door closed, Luca picked up her phone again and sent a message to Nina: [Do you and Mr. Mallory have any plans tomorrow night? We're having a barbecue at home, and I'd love to invite you both over to join us for dinner.] Nina immediately replied with a playful tone: [Is it a real barbecue this time? ] [Yes, it's a real barbecue.] Luca smiled helplessly. The lie she spun last time to get her to come over had now become Nina's teasing fodder for her.

Nina replied: [Alright, Percy and I will trust you this time. Tomorrow night it is. I'll come early to help you out.] [It's alright. Just make sure you and Mr. Mallory show up on time to show your support.] After that, Luca put her phone aside.

She did not have Jim's and Scarlett's contact numbers, so Luke would contact them personally.

After inviting Nina, Luca returned to the laboratory to work.

Rhett had already informed the researchers in the group about tonight's plans. When they saw Luca enter, one of the researchers cheerfully said," Dr. Craw, will you be joining US tonight?"

"I won't be going. Enjoy yourselves tonight. If there's any money left, consider it a small token of appreciation from me for your hard work during this time," replied Luca.

She had not been conducting many experiments lately. They were the ones doing the bulk of the work.

Even though she was overseeing it, without them, the project would not have progressed. Thus, she was very grateful to everyone present.

"Dr. Craw, please come. It won't be the same without you," added another researcher.

"No, no, I have other things to attend to tonight. You guys carry on." Luca smiled and sat at her desk.

The crowd burst into laughter. One of them, who felt particularly daring, spoke up, "I see, Dr. Craw has a date. We definitely can't disturb her."

"Exactly," another researcher chimed in.

Luca smiled without offering an explanation.

When she woke up this morning, Luke mentioned to her that Gale had already wrapped up things in X City, and Stan had yet to regain his memory. He realized this incident was related to him, so he firmly told the doctor that he wanted surgery to remove the brain tumor.

He intended to use the surgery as an excuse to delay being detained and questioned by the police.

Additionally, the herbs they purchased at the event would be delivered by Gale today, along with the herbs in the afternoon.

Luke also mentioned that Gale seemed to have found the fifth herb but was not entirely certain, so he bought some from the herbalist to check.

If Gale’s herbs were correct, it meant they had all five, and she could start researching at home.

Luca was determined to return home promptly after work today to verify the authenticity of the herbs.

Luke had said that if the fifth herb was not the one they were looking for, then Gale's subordinates would continue to inquire and gather information from the herbalists.

With this in mind, Luca ignored the teasing from others and continued her work.

She was very focused when conducting research, and nothing could distract her.

The researchers in the lab saw that Luca was already engrossed in her work. They ceased their banter and continued with their tasks.

After work, Luca left almost immediately.

Mo Stone was sitting in her office. Watching Luca leave in a hurry, she rubbed her chin and asked, "Does Dr. Craw have something urgent going on? It's been a while since I've seen her leave on time."

Previously, Luca not only left early every day but also frequently took leave.

However, her role was different in Watson. With a successful project in the bag, the HR department and CEO would not question her.

Also, it seemed like Luca had resolved all her previous problems one day and returned to leaving on time.

Rhett, who was organizing files, heard Mo Stone’s words and did not say anything.

Mo Stone looked at him and asked, "Mr. Link, do you know what Dr. Craw is busy with?"

"How would I know? Are you sure you're not coming tonight?" asked Rhett. After he left Luca's office, he informed Mo about the dinner plans for tonight.

Mo frowned, expressing that she wanted to do something of her own and did not want to go out on a Friday night.

Rhett did not insist. With one person less, they could allocate more money to everyone else.

Mo's tasks were not solely for the sake of their research group, but the researchers within the team were different. Their performance and efficiency directly impacted the progress of the project.

"I'm not going. Have fun, everyone," Mo shook her head, indicating she would not be going. She secretly wondered how much money Luca would give them for dinner and karaoke.

She figured they would not be going to any fancy place, so what was the point of her joining in?

Rhett nodded without saying anything.

One of the researchers approached and asked, "Mr. Link, can we go now? Are we heading to Blue Coast Restaurant?"

"Let's go. I've already booked a private room. We can head over now.” Rhett locked away all the files on the table into the drawer and stuffed the textbooks into his bag. Then, he rose to his feet and got ready to leave with the researcher.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3155-Missed Out On The Gathering "Blue Coast Restaurant?" Mo Stone was startled for a moment. She thought she had misheard. "You mean the one that's all over the internet?"

"Yes." Rhett nodded, observing Mo's reaction with some curiosity. He then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I was just curious. That restaurant is quite expensive. How much did Dr. Craw give you guys?" Mo tested the waters and asked, thinking that even an ordinary meal there would cost several thousand dollars…

"Revealing that might not be the best idea,” replied Rhett. There were other research team members in the office, and revealing the amount might make them feel a little sour about it.

He understood this aspect of workplace dynamics well. Not every research professor was as generous as Luca. Having a high income was one thing, but being generous was something else.

If the other professors could not be as generous as Luca, then Luca would become the exception.

Such exceptions were not always welcomed in the workplace.

Rhett did not mention it as it was partly to protect Luca.

Another researcher also realized his mistake. Talking about going to such an expensive restaurant in front of others would surely lead their office colleagues to speculate about how much Luca had given them.

They enjoyed this special treatment, but they could not let it bring trouble to Luca.

"Well, it's not much actually. Dr. Craw suggested a team-building activity, so we discussed and decided that each of US would chip in a bit of money.

Along with Dr. Craw's contribution, we can afford to dine well. Let's go, Mr. Link. They've already left, and so should we," explained the researcher.

"Yeah, that's it. Well, let's head out first." Rhett could not be bothered and left with the researcher.

Mo wanted to speak up.

However, they did not give her a chance throughout the conversation.

She bit her lip as her expression soured.

Mo did not believe a word the researcher said because when Rhett first told her, he did not mention everyone chipping in money. He simply said Luca was covering it all.

She figured Luca had given quite a lot of money, but to avoid others in the office from getting jealous, Rhett spun it that way.

Mo was frustrated. If she had known Rhett had booked a private room at Blue Coast Restaurant, she would have definitely gone.

She regretted missing out on the chance to dine at such a high-end restaurant.

At the same time, she could not help but secretly grumble about Luca's special treatment. She gave Rhett so much money and allowed everyone to go to such a nice restaurant.

Surely, other research professors would not be so willing to spend that much.

Mo clenched her teeth as she thought about it. Rhett had asked her twice, so why did he not ask her the third time?

If he did, she would definitely have agreed!

Mo was feeling regretful, and one of the assistants in the office could not help but heave a sigh. "Dr. Craw is just too nice, huh? I wonder why I didn't get placed in her group."

"Rhett picked her quickly, but honestly, even if you were given the chance to choose, you might not have picked Dr. Craw at first. Who could have imagined such a young research professor would have such great capabilities?" commented another researcher.

They had all wondered who would be the first professor to successfully complete the research and have their drug smoothly hit the market.

However, no one had expected it to be Luca.

Luca was the first to complete the research and get her drug on the market. Her luck played a crucial role.

Both Dr. Cole before and Dr. Albus got into trouble. That was why Luca could become the first.

"I never expected this. Now, we can only envy Rhett," added the assistant.

Mo tidied up her documents and stood up, ready to leave work.

She did not want to spend another moment in that office.

Even though the assistants' conversation did not directly involve her, the content was a constant reminder of her missed opportunity with Luca.

If she had competed with Rhett from the start, she would surely have surpassed him. After all, her performance in school had been better than his.

Mo left with a grim expression.

An assistant noticed Mo's displeased expression. As she waited for everyone else to leave, she asked her colleagues, "Why does Ms. Stone look so upset?"

"She's probably feeling down because she missed out on the gathering," replied another person.

"Really?"

"Of course? Rhett invited her once today, saying it was Dr. Craw's idea, but Ms. Stone declined. Then Rhett invited her again, but she still refused.

Didn't you notice?

"When the other researcher mentioned Blue Coast Restaurant, Ms. Stone's expression turned sour. It was like she had missed out on a fortune. It's definitely because of this."

"But isn't it just a meal?"

"For us guys, it's just a meal, but for women, it's like a chance to show off on social media. Ever heard of those pseudo-socialites? They go to great lengths to boost their image. They even organize group buys at fancy restaurants.

"They reserve a spot, order a few dishes, and rotate people through.

They’re not really there to eat, just to take photos. Dining at such places boosts their image."

"Wow, this is just too much…"

"It's real. You can find it all online. If you do a little digging, you'll see. I bet Ms. Stone is just like that. Haven't you noticed she hardly posts anything on social media? But when she does, it's always at upscale places. Or she posts fancy skincare products and all. That's how most women are."

"And did you guys know? I heard Ms. stone could have competed with Mr. Link to become Dr. Craw's assistant at first. But she didn't compete. Now I hear she regrets it and doesn't want to do office work anymore. She wants to be Dr. Craw's assistant, but Dr. Craw said she doesn't need anyone else."

"Normally, one research professor gets one assistant. Since Dr. Craw doesn't plan to let go of Mr. Link, Ms. stone definitely can't get the job no matter how talented she is. After all, you can't make exceptions, right?"

"That's right…"

In the office, assistants of other professors continued discussing Mo's situation, while Luca had already returned to her villa.

When Luca reached home, she hurried into the living room.

Gale was sitting on the couch, smiling as he watched the three kids do their homework. There were fruits and snacks on the coffee table in front of him, showing how considerate Aunt Neile was in hosting him.

"Mr. Gale," Luca greeted him without putting on any airs just because he was under Luke's command.

She knew that without Gale and Rain, along with the sacrifice of that other person, Luke might not have returned safely.

"Dr. Craw, you're back," Gale greeted her cheerfully. He picked up a bag and asked, "Where shall we talk?"

"Are these the herbs you brought back for me?" Luca deliberately asked in front of Aunt Nelle to disclose that they were herbs, saving her from curiosity.

"Yes, these are the herbs you need. Took me quite some time to look for them, but I'm still not sure if they're the ones you want. Why don't you take a look?"

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3156-Poisons That Are Even More Potent Than This "Alright, let's head to the living room on the second floor," suggested Luca, inviting Gale upstairs to the living room.

Gale carried the bag and followed her upstairs.

Aunt Neile watched them from behind and murmured, "Should I bring some refreshments up?"

When Lanie heard Aunt Neile muttering, he paused his homework and said, "No need, Aunt Neile. Ms. Luca and Uncle Gale are just going to chat for a bit. There’s no need to bring refreshments up."

"Okay, then I'll continue preparing dinner.” Aunt Nelle nodded. She had just invited Gale to stay for dinner, but when she heard Lanie's words, she did not inquire further.

She knew Luca wanted to have a private conversation with Gale upstairs and thought it best to prepare more food just in case he decided to stay.

With that in mind, Aunt Neile began preparing dinner.

Upstairs, Gale sat on the couch and started to show Luca the herbs he had collected. "I just thought they looked similar to the pictures, but I'm not familiar with these herbs and haven't seen them before, so I'm not so sure about it."

The herbs were in pieces. Luca picked one up and asked, "Have they been processed by the herbalist?"

"Yeah. He said the stems were difficult to process, so he removed them before drying. Without the stems, I'm even less sure if these are the herbs you're looking for," replied Gale as he waited for her to identify.

If these were not the herbs Luca needed, someone would continue the search.

Luca took the herb to her nose and sniffed it. Her brows were slightly furrowed.

She had never seen these herbs before either. Even though Shanks had mentioned them to her, she was not certain about it.

Luca took out her phone and snapped a photo of the leaves, hoping the browser could identify them.

The search yielded a variety of plants…

Luca let out a sigh, then searched for the corresponding herb and carefully examined it based on its features. "It looks quite similar to the one in my hand."

After that, she just stuffed the herb right into her mouth.

"Dr. Craw!" Gale was startled by her action.

If this was the herb she was looking for, it could be poisonous.

"Don't worry, taking a bite of this herb will only introduce a trace amount of toxin. It's harmless. Besides, I'm taking the antidotes, so there shouldn't be a problem," explained Luca as she tasted the herb.

It was slightly bitter with a hint of bitter chrysanthemum flavor. "This is it. This is the one we're looking for.” Gale heaved a sigh of relief, then asked again, ’ Are you sure it’s safe?” "I have poisons in my body that are even more potent than this. I'll be fine." Luca shook her head. The poisons in her body were from the drug administered by the Island of Despair to manipulate people.

Even though she took antidotes every month, they were essentially another form of poison.

It continually increased the poisons in her body.

Gale understood what was going on. If it were not for Luke eliminating the Island of Despair back then, he might have been drugged with the same thing.

The methods the Island of Despair used to control others were extremely cruel.

"Mr. Gale, can I see the other herbs?" asked Luca.

"Oh sure, I almost forgot. These are the ones I brought over. If you need anything, just let me know. The rest are stored with me," replied Gale. He took out all the other herbs.

Luca carefully examined the herbs. These were much easier to identify than the previous one. She nodded, indicating they were fine. "These are good enough. I'll let you know if I need more.

"I'm not sure what they're up to. I'm also at a loss, so I won't use up too many of these herbs."

After storing all the herbs, she invited Gale again, "Mr. Gale, you've worked hard these days. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

"I'm sorry, but I have a dinner date. If the herbs are okay, I’ll leave now. Goodbye, Ms. Craw." Gale stood up and was ready to leave.

He did have a dinner date tonight. Even though it was dinner with another man, it counted as a date. More importantly, if he stood the man up, he would probably be scolded for a week.

"Alright then. We're having a barbecue party at home on Saturday night. You and Rain should come." Luca invited them.

"That sounds good." Gale's eyes lit up. He was not particularly fond of barbecues, but he had his eye on the wine in Luke's collection.

With a barbecue party going on here, Luke would surely contribute some fine wine.

Gale agreed, "Sure. See you on Saturday night."

"Sure, see you then. Just come over. You don’t have to bring anything," emphasized Luca. She was worried they might bring gifts.

"Absolutely." Gale happily left.

Luca packed up the herbs. She thought that since she had already invited Gale and Rain, she might as well send a message to Vivian too.

She planned to invite Vivian to join the fun as well.

Saturday nights were usually free for college students, so Vivian should be able to attend. Plus, judging from her personality, she would surely be happy to join.

Sure enough, shortly after, Vivian replied and accepted the invitation.

Luca pondered for a moment about who else to invite.

However, after considering much, most of her previous relationships had faded since her return. There was no one else to invite except Jason and Sue.

Luca sent a message to Luke, asking him to invite Jason and his wife.

Luke would likely follow her decision. It did not take long before he replied, claiming that the invitation had been sent and that he had also notified Louis.

When Luca saw Luke mentioning Louis, she furrowed her brows.

Susan lived next door…

Previously, Louis would definitely avoid coming over to avoid Susan. However, now that Luke had sent the invitation, Louis would probably accept it for Luke's sake.

If Louis came and met Susan, would this lead to another round of conflict between mother and son?

Or had they patched things up?

Luca did not press the issue. These were not urgent matters, and she believed Luke was not someone who would make an impulsive decision. She planned to ask him about it when he returned.

After storing the herbs, Luca headed downstairs.

The three kids had finished their homework. When they saw her come down, Lanie said, "Ms. Luca, we've finished our homework."

"So soon?" Luca was surprised. Was tomorrow not Saturday? How did they finish their weekend homework so quickly?

"We had self-study at school today," replied Lanie. He and Rainie had used the self-study time to finish a portion of their homework, so it did not take them long to complete the rest when they got home.

Tommy added, “The teacher said the school is trying to reduce our workload, so they didn't give US much homework. I've finished mine too."

Luca nodded and glanced at the time. Since Luke had not said he would not be coming back for dinner tonight, she figured he would be back soon. She said, "Let's watch some TV for now. We'll have dinner when your daddy comes back."

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3157-It Was Better To Avoid Meeting "Great!" When the three kids returned, Aunt Neile served them some fruits, so they were not hungry now.

Suddenly, Luca remembered the cartoons she had downloaded earlier and said, "I'll play the cartoons I downloaded. Didn't you miss some of it the day I came back? I downloaded the episode."

Then, Luca played it on the TV screen.

Tommy cheered, "Ms. Luca, you're awesome!"

"I originally planned to let you watch it on the weekend, but since you've finished your homework so early today, you can catch up now." Luca put her phone down and started to check their homework.

These days were peaceful. She spent her evenings with the kids while waiting for Luke to come back. She found these days quite fulfilling.

However, she also knew that this tranquility could be shattered at any moment by Abel. That was why she cherished these moments even more.

Luca's smile faded slightly at the thought of Abel.

Who knew how long this peace would last…

"Ms. Luca, what's wrong?" Rainie was sitting beside Luca, and she sensed her change in mood.

"It's nothing." Luca shook her head. "Just checking your homework!"

Rainie furrowed her delicate brows and glanced at what Luca was doing. Luca was checking Tommy's homework. She asked, "Is Tommy’s homework very bad?"

Tommy heard his name being mentioned and immediately looked nervously at Luca. He said, "No, mine isn't bad at all. I did it very seriously!"

"No, it's quite good." Luca shook her head, signing her name behind Tommy's workbook.

"Okay." Rainie felt that something was off with Luca's mood, so she leaned closer and whispered, "Ms. Luca, don't be upset. We're here for you!"

"I'm not upset." Luca looked at her daughter. Moved by Rainie being so thoughtful and considerate, her smile returned. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Everything's okay."

"Okay." Rainie nodded, then her gaze fell back to the TV.

Lanie suddenly rose to his feet.

"Lanie, where are you going?" asked Rainie.

"To get a book," replied Lanie as he made his way up the stairs.

"Oh." Rainie did not say anything more. She knew her brother was not actually interested in these cartoons. He was just watching them with them.

He was usually uninterested in them, and now rewatching them would be even less interesting to him.

After a while, Lanie came back with a book and also brought a small booklet.

He handed the small booklet to Luca.

"What's this?" Luca looked up and saw the red booklet being handed to her. There were two big words printed on it-Honor Certificate.

"It's Lanie's certificate. Lanie won the championship in the school's math competition," Rainie said.

"I'll win the national math competition next," said Lanie. He felt this award was too small. He did not intend to show it to Luca.

He had not even thought of taking it out.

The moment he received the honor certificate, he stashed it away in a drawer without ever considering taking it out.

However, when he heard Rainie say Luca did not seem very happy a moment ago, as though she had something on her mind, he suddenly recalled that parents always liked seeing their children succeed.

If Luca knew he had won an award, she would definitely be happy!

Hence, Lanie this as an excuse to show Luca the certificate.

She would be happy to see it.

For parents, regardless of the size of the award, it was all about honor. It was something that filled them with pride.

"Really? Lanie, that's amazing!" Luca put down the workbook, took his certificate, opened it, glanced at the ranking, and smiled broadly.

Her son was truly amazing.

"This is just a small award. I'll bring back a big one next month," said Lanie. He never pursued these things. He only participated because the teacher asked him to.

Therefore, he did not have much pursuit of rankings.

People called him a genius, and he displayed the qualities of one. As long as he participated in competitions he was good at, he always came first.

Math was his forte.

As Luca looked at Lanie's calm little face, she smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'll wait. Shall we display the certificate in the living room?"

"Okay." Although Lanie did not think it was a good idea, he went along with Luca.

Tommy chimed in, "Ms. Luca, I have a competition next week, and I'm going to get first place too!"

"Great. Tommy, you need to work hard too!" Luca looked at her talented children. She felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

No other children could be as outstanding as hers.

However, she also felt it was not her achievement. It was Luke's.

Luke had excellent genes and educated the children well, which was why they were so exceptional.

As Luca thought of her husband and then of her children, Luca felt a sense of superiority.

Lanie sat back on the couch, and Rainie could not help but mutter softly," Lanie, didn't you say you wouldn't show it?"

"I wanted Ms. Luca to be happy," Lanie explained coolly.

As Luca listened to their conversation, the worry that had just arisen in her mind was immediately dismissed.

They were all her treasures…

After Luca finished checking the children's homework, Luke came back.

After dinner, Luke went upstairs to deal with work.

Luca spent some time watching cartoons with the kids before going upstairs too. She planned to tidy up the herbs Gale had sent over.

She came to the second floor. Instead of going straight into the study, she went to Luke's bedroom where he was working.

The door was left ajar. She stood by the door and knocked.

"Come in," said Luke.

"Luke, I have something I want to ask you," said Luca.

"About Louis?" Luke guessed what Luca wanted to ask right away.

She nodded. "Has Louis patched things up with his mother?" Luca asked straightforwardly.

"No." Luke shook his head.

"Then why did you still invite him over? Aren't you afraid that Madam Crawford will find out later and come over to cause trouble? Perhaps another family conflict will erupt."

Luca was worried. Whether it was Karen causing trouble in their house or hers, it was no good.

After all, the relationship between Louis and his mother was on the edge now. If they met again, would there not be another family conflict?

Luke answered, 'The relationship between them has reached a breaking point. It's time to break the ice. Staying stuck like this won't help.

"Mother still can't reach Louis, and she's constantly running to Crawford Manor, disturbing Grandpa's peace every single day.” Luca was taken aback for a moment and replied slowly, "I see…"

"Yeah, some things need addressing. This isn't working out for Louis either, so I might as well give them a chance to sort things out. If they want to make a scene, let them.

"It's either they patch things up or continue being at odds, but it's better than Mother constantly running to the old house," Luke explained to her.

Men and women often thought differently.

Luca thought that if Louis did not patch things up with Susan, it meant Louis still had grievances and it was better to avoid meeting.

Still, Luke did not see it that way.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3158- Am I That Scary?

Louis and Susan had to meet face-to-face before they could start discussing and ultimately reach a resolution.

Only then could this matter be resolved.

This issue was caused by Old Master Crawford, and it was not a problem for him to suffer a bit.

However, Old Master Crawford has been enduring this for quite some time now, to the point where it was almost unbearable.

It was also Luke's duty to resolve this issue for him.

Luca's proposal of a barbecue was indeed a good opportunity.

Luke added, "This matter was caused by Grandpa. He had someone pretend to be from another company to negotiate the acquisition with Louis. It just so happened that Mother heard about it and caused a scene. This matter should also come to a resolution now."

Luca was slightly surprised that it was Old Master Crawford who caused it!

Still, what surprised her even more was that Susan could not reach Louis. Thus, she went to see Old Master Crawford every day…

Imagining this scene, Luca could figure out the situation.

Given Susan's personality, she was surely racking her brain and trying every trick in the book to extract Louis' location from Old Master Crawford.

"So, how do you plan to inform Madam Crawford?" asked Luca. She agreed to his approach.

Indeed, it was not a solution for the mother and son to stay at odds like this…

"Let Aunt Neile go." Luke planned to let Aunt Neile inform the maid next door so that Susan knew Louis would be here this Saturday night.

Once the maid next door knew, Susan would definitely know too.

"Hmm, that works." Luca was in complete agreement with Luke. She understood the implication behind his words and also supported his idea.

After Luca knew why Luke invited Louis, she returned to the study to attend to her own matters.

Inside the villa, there was a profound sense of tranquility.

On the other hand, in the exclusive VIP room of the Bibbier's Tale, Gale was having quite a headache.

"Gordan, we agreed to have dinner. How did dinner turn into drinking?" Gale looked at Gordan, who was holding a bottle of wine. Gale was puzzled.

They were supposed to grab a meal, but it had now turned into a drinking spree. Gordan ended up drinking most of the booze.

He figured that in two hours, he would have to drag a drunkard home.

"Isn't this food?" Gordan slightly narrowed his pretty eyes, pointing at the food on the coffee table.

Gale widened his eyes and reminded him, "Are you sure this counts?" "Appetizers are still food, you know. What, you look down on the drinks I ordered? Let me tell you, the money I spent on these drinks could've bought ten seafood feasts." Gordan pointed at the bottles on the table while letting out a belch.

"Plus, don't you enjoy drinking too? You're always looking forward to sipping on the wine from Luke's collection. While my selection may not be at the level of collectibles yet, they're all premium wines!" "I do love a good drink, but I don't guzzle it down like water. If you keep this up, I won't show up when you call me anymore." Gale rubbed his stomach. He was starving!

Appetizers might be food, but they could not satisfy one's hunger.

Gordan rolled his eyes at him. "You're such a lightweight. You need a full stomach to handle your booze, don't you?" "Yeah, I'm hungry. I'm not picky right now. Just get me a meal and let me fill up first. Then we'll talk!" Gale nodded.

"Just a moment!" Gordan pressed the bell.

Soon after, a waitress walked in. She glanced at Gale, then at Gordan. She asked in a sweet voice, "May I help you?" "My friend is hungry. Get him a deluxe seafood feast to go, the most lavish one. Take this money and hurry up." Gordan pulled out a stack of bills from his wallet and handed it to the waitress.

The waitress hesitated for a moment. While their bar did offer takeout service, the amount of money Gordan gave was too much!

When Gordan saw the waitress hesitating, he frowned and asked, "Why are you still dawdling here? Get a move on. Get the most extravagant option and use up all this cash!"

The waitress wanted to say that it was not a problem to spend the money, but where could they find such a luxurious seafood feast at this hour?

Even the most expensive dishes at regular restaurants would not cost this much, and the seafood market was closed. Even if they went there now, they would not be able to find things like lobsters.

Gale noticed that the waitress wore a troubled expression and intervened," Don't mind him. Just get me some lobster rolls." "But what about the money…" The most expensive lobster roll would only cost a couple of bills. She looked at Gordan, unsure if he was on the verge of getting drunk. She was certain he would not take the money, so she glanced at Gale, hoping that he could offer a solution.

"Give it to me," said Gale.

The waitress immediately handed him the money, swift as though passing a hot potato. Gale pulled out a hundred dollars and handed it to her. "You can get me one portion, and the rest is your tip." "Thank you, sir!" The waitress thanked him, took the cash, and hurried out.

She did not expect to receive so much tip just for helping with a takeout order!

After the waitress left, Gale returned Gordan's money to his wallet. novelbin Gordan frowned disapprovingly when he saw this. "I handed out the money. There's no reason to take it back." "Have you gotten used to being a spendthrift? What you did just now almost made her cry," Gale said helplessly.

"Am I that scary?" Gordon asked in a helpless tone.

"Well, you kind of are," said Gale. He took a sip of his drink. "What task did you recently pick up that's making you so generous?" "Hey, I'm just loaded. Even without any gigs, I've got cash." Gordan raised his glass, inviting a toast.

Gale clinked glasses with him. "Alright. You're loaded. You're the man. But seriously, why the drinking? Something going on?" "Isn't drinking whenever you want the whole point of booze?" replied Gordan as a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

Gale caught his expression clearly. "If everything's fine, why are you drinking like this? It's obvious you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Come on, spill the beans. Drinking alone is just boring otherwise." "There's not much to talk about. Hey, any plans or events happening lately? Or anything I can get in on? It's just too boring here." Gordan remembered what Vivian had told him.

He thought he needed to keep himself busy.

Otherwise, he would keep thinking about that woman…

It was driving him crazy!

Gordon did not understand what was happening to him. He even suspected that Vivian had put a curse on him or something back then because whenever he was alone, he would think of her ugly face!

It was not just when he had nothing to do. He even dreamed about her.

All of this left Gordan feeling speechless.

"There's nothing you need to help with right now, but there is an event coming up. There's a barbecue party at Boss' place tomorrow. Are you interested in joining?" Gale recalled Luca's invitation today.

Since Luca invited him, Gordan could probably join too, right?

"What's so great about a barbecue?" Gordan seemed unenthusiastic. He thought that it was something only women and kids enjoyed.

"Many people will be there, and Boss will surely share some of his prized wine. There'll be food, drinks, and friends. What's not to like? Are you going or not?" Gale felt that Gordan was acting strangely.

He might need to socialize with others to feel normal again.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3159-Heartless And Cold Gordan could not care less about things like barbecues, but when he heard Gale mention there would be wine, his eyes lit up. Suddenly, he was enthusiastic about it.

All he could think about now was getting his hands on some alcohol. "Sure. Why the heck not? If there's good liquor involved, count me in."

"Are you planning to drain Boss' liquor stash?" Gale took a sip of his drink and teased him.

"He's got plenty in his cellar. What's the harm in me having a taste?" Gordon knew that Luke had a habit of collecting fine wines. There were many in his wine cellar that Gordan wanted to try but had not had the chance to yet.

With so much good wine calling his name, it would be dumb not to go.

"I'll let Boss know," replied Gale. After all, it was not his party, so they had to give the host a heads-up.

Gordan stopped him. "No need. I'm worried that if you tell him, Luke won't bring out the good stuff. Just take me along. No need to give him a heads-up."

"Is he really so stingy that he won't even share his liquor…" Gale could not believe it. Was Gordan really drunk to actually paint Luke as such a stingy person?

Luke was genuinely kind to people. Hence, he was also known for being generous, whether it was about money or anything else.

"Trust me. Don't tell him anything. I'm planning to surprise him," replied Gordan.

He let out a burp after another swig of his drink.novelbin Gale rolled his eyes. It was hard to believe what a drunkard said.

Give Luke a surprise?

As long as it did not end up being a shock, that would be considered good enough.

"I can't just let it slide," Gale insisted on telling Luke.

"Okay, here's the plan. Pretend you're clueless. Tomorrow, I'll show up at his place myself. Sounds good?" Gordan did not want Luke to know he was coming.

Gale pondered for a moment. That could work. He nodded and replied," Alright, but ease up on the drinks tonight. You don't want to show up at his place tomorrow still hammered."

"Live for the moment, my friend. You don't get it. I can hold my liquor. I won't be wasted." Gordan laughed, taking another swig.

"Tsk, you're really risking it all for booze." Gale shook his head.

Luckily, Gordan was in A City now, where things were relatively safe. There would not be any trouble. If he were overseas, getting this hammered could land him in hot water.

"Who says so? This booze is good for you," Gordan squinted his eyes, feeling like he was seeing double.

He glanced at the bottles of liquor on the table, several of which were already empty.

"Yeah, it's good for you. In that case, bottoms up." Gale saw Gordan in such a state and knew he was almost gone.

There was a knock on the private room door at that moment.

Gale raised his voice, "Come in."

The door opened, and the waitress who had just left returned. She held a tray with a steaming lobster roll on it.

"Here's your lobster roll, sir." The waitress placed the tray on the table.

"Alright, thanks." Gale glanced at the lobster roll, then at the drunken Gordan. He did not want to be dragging a wasted man home, so he asked," Is the hotel upstairs run by the same boss as this bar?"

"Yes." The waiter nodded. Their boss owned a nightclub downstairs and had recently taken over the hotel upstairs. It was convenient for guests to crash upstairs when they were too drunk to drive, avoiding the hassle of transportation.

Gale rose to his feet, walked over to Gordan, and reached out. "Hand over your wallet."

"You didn't want my money earlier, and now you're asking for it… What are you doing?" Gordan squinted at him with drunken eyes.

Gale shook his head helplessly and replied, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just gonna get you a room. I don't want to drive you back and risk you messing up my car."

Dumping a drunk man in a hotel room was the best option.

It saved time and effort.

Gordan smacked his lips. He was a little slow to catch on.

After a couple of seconds, he handed over his wallet to Gale. "Get me a deluxe suite."

"Okay." Gale furrowed his brows then relaxed. Was Gordan drunk or not?

He retrieved Gordan's ID, glanced at the photo, and started mocking him," You look like a model in this ID, but you're just a booze hound."

He handed Gordan's ID to the waitress, then pulled out some cash. "Will this cover a deluxe suite?"

"It's more than enough." The waitress estimated how much was in the cash pile. Their boss did not specialize in hotels, so the place was just a four-star joint. A presidential suite was not that expensive.

"Then go get him one and keep the change as a tip," said Gale.

The waitress felt a surge of joy. She did not expect the guests in this private room to be so generous. This tip could cover her earnings for ten days of work!

"Thank you, sir! I'll get right on it." The waitress took the money and headed out to arrange a deluxe suite for Gordan.

"Gale," Gordan suddenly spoke up.

"What now?" Gale glanced at him, then started on his lobster roll.

He thought he could have a lavish meal tonight, not lobster roll. He would rather shamelessly mooch off the boss' food.

"Can I crash at your place tonight?" asked Gordan. He was pretty hammered but still clung to his drink, sneaking sips whenever he could.

Gale flat-out refused, "Take you home? Rain will kill me!"

He could not help but shudder at the thought of the various scenarios that could unfold with a drunk Gordan. He could not afford the trouble of taking him home.

Not only would he have to clean up after Gordan, but he would also get a beatdown from Rain!

"I didn't say I wanted to stay at Rain's place." Gordan rolled his eyes. Didn't the boss give you a villa?"

"But you're not getting in there. It's spotless. If you mess it up, I'll have to m hire someone to clean it) I'm not a fool Gale immediately refused without considering their brotherly bond. "I got you a room. You stay there. Make all the noise you want."

At worst, Gordan would wake up hungover and foot the bill for any damages to the hotel. Gale could afford that.

"Pfft, why are you acting like a woman? Heartless and cold, heartless and cold…"

complained Gordan.

"Gordan." Gale was getting a headache from him.

"What?" Gordan narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"You're even more of a drama queen than any woman I know, getting drunk and acting like a jijlted lover. Now, you're accusing me of being heartless and unfeeling. Isn't that just ridiculous?" Gale wore a look of disdain, wishing he could just dump the lobster roll over Gordan's head.

However, he suppressed the urge to do so when he remembered his empty stomach No matter what, he had to satisfy that first. While the lobster roll was not anything special, there was no need to toss it out.

Gale even had a feeling that if Gordan kept drinking, he might end up sleeping on the toilet tonight.

He would rather not bother arguing with a drunk man.

"Pfft, what a load of crap. Jilted? Me?" The mere mention of being jilted was like unlocking Pandora's box of emotions for Gordan.

Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3160-Who's The Woman Who Turned You Down?

As Gale looked at the man lunging toward him like a wild beast, he stood up holding the lobster roll and moved to another seat. "Gordan, just because you're drunk doesn't mean you're the boss around here. If you dare to lay a finger on me for real, I won't go easy on you."

Gordan heard Gale's warning and wore an annoyed expression on his face.

"Gale, you've changed," muttered Gordan. He was too lazy to engage in a scuffle. He pouted as he continued drinking.

Gale took another bite of the lobster roll and asked, "How so?"

After he asked that, he suddenly nodded and added, "Back then, even if I had free time, I wouldn't bother hanging out with you. I must've lost my mind to come to this place with you for a drink. I'm eating chowing down on this lobster roll."

Gale disdainfully eyed the lobster roll. He glared at Gordan as he said," Remember, you owe me a proper meal."

"Alright, I'll treat you to a feast when I'm less busy." Gordan waved it off.

Gale clicked his tongue. If he took the words of a drunkard seriously, then he had already lost.

Less busy? Gordan was free tonight, but he dragged him out for drinks!

Gale told himself that he would better clarify the time and place if someone offered to treat him to a meal next time and seriously consider whether to accept or not.

After all the fuss, Gordan continued drinking. A little while later, the waitress pushed open the door to their private room and entered. "Sir, here's your room all set up. Here's the key card and your identification."

"Alright, you can leave," replied Gale after he took it from the waitress.

"Yes, sir." The waitress turned around and left.

Gale kept the key card with himself and then returned Gordan's identification to his wallet. He handed it back to him. "Here's your wallet.

Keep it safe!"

Gordan, absorbed in his drinking, seemed to ignore him.

Gale frowned and immediately stuffed the wallet into his pocket. "I'm giving it back to you. Don't come crying to me if you lose it."

"Am I the kind of person who would bother others?" Gordan suddenly asked.

Gale did not answer and instead replied with a question, "Do you think you are?"

"I don't think so, but why does she think I'm a bother? Clearly, she's the one causing trouble…" Gordan muttered to himself.

"Who are you talking about?" Gale suddenly became interested. Just a moment ago, he looked like he had been jilted, all fierce and agitated. Now, looking at Gordan like this, could he really be heartbroken?

Who would have rejected Gordan?

Who in their right mind would turn down Gordan?

Gale really wanted to know just who this woman was. She was so oblivious to what she was missing out on.

Even though Gordan was not a businessman and did not possess fortunes like Luke or Percy, he had his abilities!

With his talents, making money was child's play.

Gordan had brains too. Gale could not help but think that if Gordan were to start a business, he would surely make a fortune.

Moreover, his appearance…

Eventhough Gale was reluctant to admit it, Gordan had striking looks. He looked charming even in his drunken state. The waitress' attention was almost fully drawn to Gordan just now.

How could such a man be rejected by a woman? Just how high were her standards?

Gordan shot Gale a glance, stating that he might have had too much to drink but he was not drunk.

Furthermore, even if he were drunk, he would not blabber nonsense.

Gordan retorted, "What's it to you?"

"I'm just curious. Who would reject someone like you, Mr. Gordan?" Gale persisted, feeling like there was some juicy gossip to uncover here.

"Get lost. !Who'd dare turn me down?! Look at me, do I seem like the type to get rejected?" Gordan stubbornly refused to reveal.

Gale could see what was going on and understood it clearly.

Gordan definitely would not spill the beans now.

He was not drunk enough yet.

At the thought that the suite had already been prepared for Gordan, Gale picked up two bottles of alcohol and handed them to him. "Having a drink after a heartbreak might help. At least you won't be thinking about her.

Here, drink up."

He wanted to get Gordan drunk enough to spill the beans.

"She just doesn't know when to quit, showing up even when I'm drunk!" grumbled Gordan.

Suppressing a laugh, Gale took out his phone and snapped a few photos of Gordan.

Gordan was too preoccupied with drinking to bother about Gale taking photos of him.

After taking the photos, he sent them to Rain: [Rain, guess who this is?] In no time, Rain replied: [Gordan. Are you with him?] [This guy tricked me, making me think he was treating me to dinner. Next thing I know, we're skipping the grub and hitting the bottle. Can you believe it? But hey, I got some juicy gossip out of it. Wanna hear?] Gale replied as he put on a mischievous grin on his face.

[Spill it or forget it. No need to play mysterious games here.] Rain sounded impatient.

[Listen, Gordan got dumped, but I don't know who gave him the boot…] Rain simply replied: [Oh.] She was not as nosy as Gale, and she was not interested in such matters.

When Gale noticed Rain's indifferent response, he glanced at Gordan. If a woman like Rain was not interested in gossip, how could a man like him be?

Then, Gale received another message from Rain.

[Serves him right! Vivian is such a catch, but he didn't know what he had. He got what he deserved!] As Gale read the message, he recalled Rain's anger. He remembered what Gordan didton Vivian back then, which caused quite a stir at the time. He shook his head helplessly. He wanted to say that as a man, he could understand why Gordan did not like Vivian.

After all, men were visual creatures. If a woman was not attractive, it was normal for Gord not to be into her. Even if an unattractive woman treated him well, if she failed to pass the looks test, Gordon could not truly like her.

Moreover, although it was Gordan who acted foolishly by flirting with Vivian before, after all those years, Vivian should have realized that Gordan did not like her. Since he was not into her, she should not have kept clinging to him.

Now that the two had divorced, they should just go their separate ways. Rain did not need to continue to defend Vivian.

However, Gale knew that if he replied like this, Rain would definitely give him a hard time. Thus he opted for a e simple response: [Yeah, you're right. Gordan got what was coming to him for not knowing his place. It's on him!] [That's it!] Rain replied, wholeheartedly agreeing with what he said.

Gale looked at Gordan, suddenly realizing that he was also staring at him.

"Is there something on my face?" Gale felt uneasy under his gaze and touched his face.

Yet, there was nothing there…

"There's nothing there. Now that you've finished your lobster roll, can you accompany me for a drink?" asked Gordan. If it were not because he felt bored drinking alone, he would not have called Gale.

However, what he did not expect was that Gale was actually playing with his phone here!

"Sure, let's drink. Let's drink!" Gale put away his phone, intending to continue drinking with Gordan. This way, he would soon find out who the woman Gordan mentioned was.

Once he got drunk, he would be able to coax Gordan into talking.

However, Gale was careless.

They drank for another two hours, and Gordan was completely drunk. Gale poked his face and asked, "So, who's the woman who turned you down?"
