Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 471-Surprise! It’s Actually Luke Crawford!

Blue Honors.

Charmaine walked into a VIP private room, dressed in the most beautiful and most expensive clothes and shoes that she got from Leia.

She got to know from a friend that Mr. Ford, an internationally renowned director, intended to shoot a movie with a hundred-million-dollar budget using only actors with no previous screen experience.

That friend knew Mr. Ford's producer, and that was why she recommended Charmaine.

After looking at Charmaine's photo, Mr. Ford decided to give her a chance in an audition.

Charmaine found out that Mr. Ford had reserved a private room in Blue Honors, and her friend had somehow gotten an invitation for her. She was so happy that she was losing her mind.

She arrived at Blue Honors with the invitation card.

She wanted to show her face to Mr. Ford. The director might even make an exception for her if he was charmed by her voluptuous figure.

"Mr. Ford…"

Before she stepped through the door, Charmaine's seductive voice was heard.

She tried to pull the neckline of her top as low as possible.

Just when she was about to reach for the door handle, the door opened without warning. She stumbled forward and fell on the floor!

Charmaine lifted her head, surprised. She saw a breathtakingly handsome man sitting in a dark corner.

His demeanor put him above mere mortals. Even the lights in the room dimmed in his presence.

It was Luke Crawford!

Charmaine's face turned pale when she saw him. She wondered if he found out about the fact that she had hired someone to libel Bianca.

If that were the case, the man was too scary!

However, Charmaine knew how to deal with men.

She soon resumed her composure and greeted Luke coyly. "Mr. Crawford. I wonder why you invited me here using Mr. Ford's name?"

Charmaine's gaze was filled with admiration and lust for the man. She would have torn off her clothes and pounced on him if not that he was surrounded by four burly bodyguards dressed in black.

The man was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. The light shone on his body, which made his chin seem more pointed than it should.

Luke held a cigarette in his hand and elegantly tapped it on the ashtray. "I don't want any nonsense from you. I only want to know what you told Bianca Rayne at 6.30 pm in Monke Dessert Cafe that day, which caused her to reject the proposal. Someone saw you hand her a CD in the dessert cafe. What's inside it?"

Luke had a business relationship with the Weish family, and he knew that Channing Weish, the general manager, had a daughter born out of wedlock named Charmaine whom he doted on. She was pretty and charming, but her personal life was a mess.

He would not have been bothered by that woman, but after reviewing the security footage, he realized that Bianca's attitude changed after meeting Charmaine in the dessert cafe. She had said some expected things to him, even asking him about his response if she called off the proposal!

He had thought that Bianca might be affected by her hormones or her nerves, and that was why he did not pay too much attention to it. However, that had caused the accident to happen during the engagement ceremony.

He had to find out the truth!

Luke's voice was soft, gentle, and melodic, but to Charmaine, it was like a thunderclap.

She tried to avert her gaze.

'How did this man find out so much in such a short amount of time?

'Did Bianca tell him about it?

'She had promised me that she wouldn't tell him anything, and she would leave A City discreetly.

'Did she change her mind because she didn't want to let go of the Crawford family's riches?'

She tried to hide her shock and pretended to be oblivious. "What do you mean, Mr. Crawford? I don't know Bianca Rayne at all. How could I possibly change her mind? Also, what is it about CDs? Do people still use old- fashioned CDs in this modern age? Bianca, that materialistic woman, is no match for you. How about if I become your woman? We don't have to get married; I'm happy enough if I can spend one night with you.”

Charmaine had always been daring. As she confessed to Luke, she tore away her fragile clothing and pounced at Luke.

Luke sat still on the couch. His gaze seemed to be mocking but at the same time disgusted.

When one of the bodyguards kicked Charmaine away, he did not even blink.

The bodyguard had used a lot of force. Charmaine slammed into the coffee table behind her. She was seized by a dull pain in her chest, as though one or more of her ribs were broken.

She coughed and tasted blood in her mouth.

Charmaine looked at the man on the couch in shock. She was embarrassed and frustrated. "Luke Crawford, I'm Leia's best friend. How can you treat me like that?"

Luke did not bother looking at her. He asked again, "This is your last chance to answer my question. What did you tell Bianca? What are the contents of the CD? Who instructed you to do that?"

Charmaine immediately thought of an excuse. She suddenly started sobbing exaggeratedly. "I actually did meet Ms. Rayne in the dessert cafe that day, Mr. Crawford. That's because I've always loved and admired you. My dad can attest that I love you so much that I sometimes forget to eat or sleep. I was jealous of Bianca Rayne when I heard that she was going to be engaged with you. That's why I went to look for Bianca and threatened her to leave you…"

Luke shot a glance at Charmaine's seductive face. His voice was as cold as ice. "Since you like to sleep with men so much, then I'll satisfy you today.

He spoke impassively to the four burly bodyguards. "Just don't kill her."

After saying that, he walked toward the door.

The bodyguards opened a leather briefcase in front of Charmaine. She could see an array of scary instruments inside: Whips, collars…

Charmaine was no stranger to such instruments, and she had tried some of them before. However, the instruments in the briefcase were instruments of torture.

If the bodyguards used all the instruments, she would not be leaving the room alive!

That made her fearful. She did not expect the gentle-looking Luke to be so cruel!

The men smiled as they walked toward Charmaine with the whip and other instruments of torture.

As she shrieked, she blurted out her secrets in panic. "I'm sorry, Mr.

Crawford! I'll confess everything. Leia Norman asked me to do it. She’s also the one who told me to hand the CD to Bianca by any means possible!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 472-If Anyone Dares to Overstep Luke's Boundaries!

Luke stopped walking. He turned around, and his gaze became colder. "Are you telling the truth?'

He waved his hand, and the bodyguards let go of Charmaine.

She was on the verge of tears.

She loved to play, but only if both parties were consenting. Those instruments might be fun and exciting while making out, but now, it seemed as though the bodyguards were going to use them to kill her. That had made her fear for her life.

She slumped onto the floor and begged him. "I was wrong, Mr. Crawford. Forgive me! I don't have any grudge against Bianca Rayne. I only did that because Leia threatened me. She told me that if I don't do what she says, she'll make sure that I cant survive in A City. I had no other choice! I swear that I won't do it again. Please forgive me…"

Luke's tall body towered over Charmaine. His figure was as exquisite as a sculpture, but Charmaine was not in the mood to appreciate it. She thought that the man was too scary.

"What is inside the CD that caused Bianca to reject the proposal?" Luke asked.

Charmaine shot a glance at the four bodyguards around her. Luke immediately understood what she meant, and he gave them a discreet signal.

The bodyguards left the room and closed the door behind them.

"Now you can speak," Luke told Charmaine to continue.

Charmaine did not keep any secrets. She told him what she knew. "Mr.

Crawford, Leia has a crush on you ever since she met you. She knows that you don't love her and that you're already a couple with Ms. Rayne, but she wants to marry you no matter what. Don't you know how pretentious that woman is? She tried to look pure and innocent, but she's underhanded and sinister. She makes me want to throw up every time I see her, and she has insulted Ms. Rayne in front of me many times. Also, she said that she'd break up the two of you no matter what it takes…”

Charmaine told Luke about every misdeed that Leia did.

She did not like Leia. After all, no one would be willing to become another woman's lapdog.

When Charmaine saw that Luke looked more and more unpleasant by the moment, she continued to spin the story. "A few days ago, Leia somehow got a CD that has incriminating evidence of you conducting a bribe…

"Leia asked me to hand the CD to Ms. Rayne and threaten her to leave you so that you will be unharmed.

"If not that Leia threatened to drive me out of A City if I don't listen to what she says, I wouldn't have dared to threaten Ms. Rayne!"

Luke remained calm after listening to what Charmaine had to say, but his gaze turned darker and darker!

’I see.

’So that’s why Bianca rejected my proposal at the last moment.’

After receiving the information he wanted, Luke stepped out of the room in large strides.

The bodyguards in black followed behind him.

Charmaine slumped on the floor.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that she was safe.

When she suddenly remembered that she had told Luke about the CD, she started to tremble again.

If Leia found out that Charmaine had told Luke the secret, she would kill her.

Charmaine knew better than anyone that Leia had a wicked heart under that pure exterior.

What should she do?

Charmaine thought hard. She remembered that her latest sugar daddy was a middle-aged tycoon. He did not hold any political power, and he was ugly and short, but he was filthy rich.

The man had held her hand and said that he would bring her for a vacation in the Maldives. She decided to go with him there and then; perhaps she would be able to get a credit card or some luxury goods from him too.

Hiding overseas for a few days would be the best choice!

At the car, Jason opened the back seat door for Luke.

The man sat inside, and Jason sat on the driver's seat.

Jason glanced at his cold-faced boss. He did not start the engine but instead handed a tablet computer to Luke. "Mr. Crawford, an article that defames Ms. Rayne's reputation has appeared on the Internet, and many influencers on all the social media platforms are sharing it. I believe that someone is deliberately doing this to ruin Ms. Rayne's reputation, but I don't know if it's from an individual or a group."

Luke tapped on the screen and browsed through the article. The more he read, the gloomier he looked.

After he finished the article, he grunted. "Amateur tactics! Find the true identity of that Rita, and ban all accounts that share the article!"

Jason's hands on the steering wheel paused for a while. He hesitated before saying, "Mr. Crawford, there was a meeting among the higher-ups recently about the control major corporations exerted over the media, and T Corporation is one of their surveillance targets. The higher-ups warned us that we should keep a low profile. If we ban all the accounts that share the article, people would think that we are the ones doing that behind the scenes. If that happens, our competitors will have more dirt on us. I think…"

Luke tossed the tablet away, closed his eyes, and said harshly, "Even individual accounts have to obey the law. If they break the law, the authorities will also take action against them. If they dare to spread unfounded rumors, it means that they are ready to bear the consequences. Just follow what I say, Mr. Doyle. If anything happens, I'll bear all the responsibility!”

Jason could only shake his head helplessly.

His boss had always been wise and careful, but he seemed to lose all power of reason whenever Ms. Rayne was involved. He did not know whether Bianca's presence was a positive or negative influence on Luke.

Bianca's appearance in Luke's life had given him warmth. She had brought some humanity to his cold and serious character.

At the same time, Bianca had also become his greatest weakness.

If anyone dared to lay a finger on Bianca, he would become more cruel and reckless than ever.

"Also!" Luke suddenly opened his eyes. There was a hint of mockery in his icy gaze. "Dig up any dirt you can find on Leia Norman, and make her the talk of the town for the next one month."

Luke could roughly guess the mastermind behind the libelous article without investigating.

If that individual would harm others using underhanded tactics, Luke would let her have a taste of her own medicine! 1

Jason was shocked.

He did not know how Committee Secretary Norman's daughter had offended his boss, but he decided to keep quiet, seeing that Luke was in a bad mood.

"Yes, Mr. Crawford." "Also, get Gordan Norton to come and look for me.’ "Yes," Jason replied.

Luke closed his eyes again. He looked like he was taking a nap, but he might also be thinking of something.

He smiled mockingly when he remembered that CD that held the incriminating evidence. He did not expect that Mr. Schmidt, that old fox, kept records.

For him, the CD was no big deal.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 473-She Nearly Passed Out From His Kiss

After Jason sent his boss back to the mansion, he drove the car away.

After Luke stepped out of the car, he could hear Bianca's voice from afar." Let me go! I want to leave!" "Ms. Rayne, Sir said that we can't let you leave the mansion without his orders." That was the caretaker.

Luke hastened his footsteps.

He saw Bianca, dressed in a thin shirt, standing at the doorway of the living room facing the two caretakers.

Luke's heart ached when he saw how stubborn Bianca was.

"Bianca!" He called out her name.

Bianca turned around and saw that it was Luke. Tears welled in her eyes.

She turned around again so that her back was facing him.

She knew that it was impossible for the two of them to be together.

However, Bianca was moved when she saw him return. She had to remind herself that she could not turn around.

Luke's hawk-like gaze fell on her face, then on her defiant back.

He sighed imperceptibly.

Bianca was flustered even though she did not see his gaze.

She could feel those eyes casting an angry gaze like thorns on her back.

She lowered her head. Perhaps it was right for Luke to be angry.

Luke walked in front of Bianca and hugged her delicate body tightly.

He shot a glance at the cold food on the table. "Hasn't Madam had her lunch?" His gaze was stern.

"Mr. Crawford." One of the caretakers explained awkwardly. She did not dare to meet his gaze. "Mrs. Crawford said that she did not have the appetite…" "Is that how you do your job?” Luke's tone sounded accusatory.

The two caretakers did not reply. They dared not breathe too loudly, being intimidated by Luke's stern tone.

Bianca was the one who did not want to eat, but they did not say that.

The other caretaker apologized immediately, seeing that Luke's expression was unpleasant. "I'm sorry, Sir. This is our fault."

They might be aggrieved, but they took it without complaint.

After the arson case, Luke had instructed Jason to select only the best caretakers. The two caretakers had years of experience, and their character was much stronger than the usual caretaker.

Bianca could not bear to see the caretakers being scolded because of her." This has nothing to do with them, Luke. I'm the one who doesn't want to eat. You shouldn't blame them."

Luke's stern expression eased up a little. He dearly pinched her earlobe." You're already an adult, but why are you still acting like a child? Even if you don't want to eat, you should at least be considerate about the baby in your womb. It'll blame you if you starve it." "None of your business!" Bianca could not

bear to have Luke being so intimate toward her. She had already made up her mind, but she began to waver under his gentle tone.

She turned away, unwilling to see that bewitchingly handsome face.

Luke smiled charmingly, and his palm fondled her stomach. "You are my wife, and the baby in your womb is the evidence of our love. How can you say that it's none of my business, hmm?"

The two caretakers knew that it was time for them to go elsewhere. "Sir, we'll heat the food in the kitchen for you."

They put the dishes onto trays and walked away, giving the couple some space.

Only Luke and Bianca were left in the cavernous living room.

Bianca felt awkward, and she turned around to leave. However, Luke dragged her and sat her down on his thigh. "Where are you going?" "I want to go back." Bianca's voice was very soft.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, preventing their bodies from getting too intimate.

Luke tightened his grip around her waist. "Go back? Where are you going back to?" His low and hoarse voice had some tension in it.

Bianca bit her lips, and her eyelashes fluttered. "I want to go and look for my grandfather and aunt. My home is there. I…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Luke had already gripped her delicate chin, sucked on her supple lips, and forced his tongue into her oral cavity. Bianca could not catch her breath and nearly passed out from that violent kiss.

Amid the passion, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mouth.

The taste of iron filled her oral cavity. Her tongue seemed to be bleeding…

Luke finally let go of Bianca. His gaze was indulgent, gentle, overbearing, but at the same time frustrated and angry.

Bianca covered her mouth, looking at the man who had just "tortured" her with disbelief. Her heart was at her throat, but she dared not say a word.

Every time Luke punished her like that, it meant that he was in a horrid mood.

"Don't ever say that again!" After the violent kiss, Luke gently pecked her lips. "If you don't behave, or if you do something that angers me, I'll do this so that you won't get to open your mouth again."

Bianca's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like a fragile dew- stained rose. She eventually sighed and mumbled, "My presence is nothing but a burden to you, Luke. You deserve a better woman. I admit that it's my fault for rejecting your proposal in public, but I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know what I'm going through…"

Luke forced Bianca to look into his eyes. "Did you do that because of the

CD?"

Bianca was shocked. "How… how did you know about the CD?"

Luke sighed and poked her head with a finger. "Silly girl, why didn't you tell me about it earlier? Am I that insignificant to you, that you'd rather bear it yourself instead of sharing it with me? Or do you think that I'm incapable of dealing with it?" He sounded as though he was scolding her, but at the same time, he was scolding himself.

The grievances kept in her heart poured forth. She shook her head violently. "You don't know that the CD that the woman gave me has clear evidence that you've given a bribe. If I don't obey what she

says, she'll publicize its contents. Not only will your reputation be ruined, but you'll also be sent to prison… You're the man I love the most, and I can't bear to see you suffer like that. I wish I could do something for you, but I'm powerless. Sorry…"

Bianca was agitated yet helpless as she tried to hold back her sorrow.

Luke hugged her and suddenly smiled. "Look at you crying like that. I feel sorry for you! It's no big deal. Don't worry, I have a way to handle it…"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 474-You Are More Important Than My Future!

"What? Aren't you worried about your safety?"

Bianca's eyes opened wide when she heard what Luke said. She tried to stop her heart from beating too hard.

She had lived those past few days in agony because she could not find a solution.

Every night, she would have nightmares of Luke being taken away by enforcement officers. She would wake up drenched in sweat, but she was helpless about it.

She did not expect that Luke already knew about the CD with the incriminating evidence, but he was not worried at all.

Did he not know the grave consequences if the contents of the CD were leaked?

Luke's big hand gripped Bianca's lower jaw hard and made her chin hurt." Why didn't you tell me that something so serious happened? Don't you know that I was so relieved when I knew that you rejected my proposal because of the CD, but at the same time, I was angry because you didn't tell me?"

Bianca fell silent.

She did not know how to tell him; she did not want any harm to come to him.

Looking at Luke's handsome face seething in cold anger, Bianca was caught in a daze. It seemed that every time he was angry at her, it was because she had done something wrong.

She clenched her fists and averted Luke's stern gaze. "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I was really afraid that your future will be affected by this incident…"

Luke's body trembled.

He looked at her lips that were swollen because of his punishment." Between my future and yours, you are more important. Do you understand?

If you face any troubles, you should tell me instead of keeping it to yourself and suffering alone. Not only will it cause a misunderstanding between us, but we'll also fall into their trap. Don't you know that?"

Bianca dared not look at his face and instead transfixed her gaze on Luke's exquisite wristwatch. "I'm sorry…" "Don't ever say 'Sorry' to me again! If you ever encounter a similar situation again, the first thing you have to do is tell me. I'll think of a solution no matter what." Luke shook his head, and his expression sank.

He did not know how to fix Bianca's bad habit of saying "Sorry" without any good reason.

"Mm," Bianca replied. At that time, her stomach started growling, which broke the tense atmosphere.

Her cheeks blushed.

Luke laughed. "Are you hungry? You're not fulfilling your responsibilities as a mother. Won't I feel sorry for you and the baby if you starve yourself? Let's go and have lunch."

Luke carried Bianca and headed to the dining hall.

Bianca hugged his neck and said embarrassedly, "You can let me down. I might be pregnant, but my legs still work fine. I can walk myself."

She was afraid that she would be heavier with the extra body in her womb, and that might tire him.

Luke looked at her. "You're my wife. There's no one in the world that I would carry but you. What, should I carry Lanie and Rainie instead? They're already grown up, and they'll have their significant others to carry in the future. They don't need me."

Bianca was speechless.

'What is he saying? If not that the twins look so similar to Luke, I would've thought that he isn't their real father.'

In the dining hall.

Melodic music resounded in the air while the roses on the dining table gave off a light fragrance.

The food served for lunch was all suitable for pregnant women.

Luke had hired a famous nutritionist to devise a specialized menu for Bianca. It was very nutritious for both the mother and the baby.

After talking heart to heart with Luke in the living room, Bianca seemed to be free from the curse that had plagued her.

Some things that she found unsolvable were nothing but child's play in Luke's eyes.

She thought that hiding it from him would be for his own good, but that had ended up making him worry about her instead. Bianca thought that the two of them should be more open to each other from now on. 3

Luke put some chicken on Bianca's plate. She ate in small bites.

She had only taken a bit when she thought of something. "How are you going to deal with the CD, Luke? The evidence inside doesn't look too good for you. I… I didn't accede to the woman's threat and

leave you. Won't she publicize the contents? Wouldn't that be bad for you? Why would such a CD exist? Could someone have faked it? Did you really do it?" She asked worriedly.

Luke patted Bianca's head. "When I took over Crawford Industries ten years ago, the company was heavily in debt, and many banks withdrew their funding. Many of our clients did not help us, but some instead plotted against us. Crawford Industries was on the verge of ruin.

"I had no other choice but to take certain risks. The property industry was booming back then, and I could see that future prospects in the industry were endless. That was why I bought off Mr. Schmidt, who was the vice secretary back then, got a plot of land from him, and turned Crawford Industries's fortune around.

"I didn't expect that old fox to keep evidence of that transaction. Don't worry, I have a solution for it, but I'll need your cooperation for it to succeed. You might have to suffer for a bit in this period, Bea."

Luke had already thought of how to solve the problem.

However, Bianca had to cooperate with him and pretend that they broke up.

Bianca looked at Luke seriously. "Alright, I am willing to do anything for you, as long as it can clear you of your crime."

She knew that she was harboring a crime, but Bianca did not hesitate to do so, only because the man was her most loved.

Bianca had seen in the news that certain female criminals would take the blame for the men they loved, even if it involved drug trafficking or murder. She used to think that they were stupid for ruining their own future for a criminal.

Now that she was in the same position, she suddenly could empathize with them. Those women were not stupid, but they were willing to do stupid things because of love.

They knew that they would be falling into an inescapable abyss, but they did not hesitate to do so because of love.

She would do the same thing for Luke. Putting up an act was nothing; she would even give up her life.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 475-Did Luke Just Agree to Cut Ties with Bianca?

An enchanting scene in a hotel at night.

A man wore a mask that covered half of his face. The uncovered half was extraordinarily handsome.

Gordan Norton was hugging a woman.

Suddenly, he saw a very faint red light from outside the window. Hugging the woman in his arms tight, he swiftly rolled off the bed.

A silenced bullet sliced through the air and landed on where the man was lying a second earlier.

A hole appeared on the bed!

Two men in black balaclavas barged in from the window.

Seeing that their assassination attempt had failed, they pointed the guns in their hands at the masked man.

Before they could pull the trigger, the masked man had already pulled out a gun and delivered a bullet to each of them.

Gordan's gun skills were impeccable. The bullets landed between the eyes of the assassins!

Blood flowed from their foreheads. The two assassins had died even before they realized it. Their eyes remained wide open in disbelief that someone could have such a fast reaction time!

The cruel deed happened too abruptly. When the woman noticed that their room had two additional dead bodies, she shrieked in abject panic. "Ahhh! Ahhh!" "Shut up!" Gordan quickly dressed up. He was very frustrated.

He took off the mask, revealing the ghastly half of his face. The woman shrieked even louder when she saw that.

Fortunately, the VIP suite was well-insulated. No one outside could hear the woman even if she screamed herself hoarse.

Gordan could not stand the woman's shrieks. He placed his hand somewhere on her neck, and she instantly passed out.

Frustratedly, Gordan lit a cigarette.

He was already laying low in A City, but Tony's men managed to find him. How unlucky!

At that moment, his phone started ringing.

He was surprised to see that Luke called him. He answered the call.

"Boss Crawford! Say what you have to. I'm very busy," Gordan grunted as he looked at the two dead bodies in the room. He was not too courteous toward the man who had saved his life.

There was no sound from the other end.

That made Gordan's mood worse. "Please get to the point, Mr. Crawford. I'm in the middle of something here," he urged impatiently.

After killing two people, he had to get rid of the evidence quickly.

Luke's voice was as warm and charming as the sun in spring. "Do you want to live a normal life?" "What?" Gordan was confused.

"Help me do something, and I'll help you shake off Tony. How about that?"

Gordan was piqued.

He had been pursued by official authorities and underworld figures for his countless scams around the world.

He was not bothered by them, except for the Italian mobster Tony. Tony was a merciless man who, in his bloody quest to take over the leadership of his family, killed his brother's family, including his nephew who was still a child.

After being tricked by Gordan once, the man had spared no expense in hiring assassins all over the world to get rid of him!

No matter where Gordan hid, he could not escape from Tony's influence.

Gordan was very interested when he heard that Luke could help him stop Tony from going after him. "Is that true?" "I mean what I say," Luke said confidently.

Gordan thought of Luke's cunning and mysterious tactics but eventually nodded his head. "Alright, we have a deal."

He was willing to do anything to get Tony off his tail.

Crawford Manor.

Luke sat in front of Old Master Crawford and casually took a sip of his tea." Did you look for me for something, Grandfather?" He asked directly.

Old Master Crawford's gaze was stern and gloomy. "You ingrate! Such a big scandal arose from the engagement ceremony. How am I going to face the others? Your good bride has disappointed me!" "We're only postponing the engagement, Grandfather. I've already explained it to the guests." Luke put the teacup on the table. He remained as calm as ever.

"Why, do you still want to marry her?" Old Master Crawford raised his walking stick furiously. He was about to bring it down on Luke.

Allison was worried about her son, and she quickly blocked the walking stick. "It's all that Bianca Rayne's fault, Father. She was the one who rejected Luke's proposal and humiliated us. It has nothing to do with Luke. My son, your grandfather is angry now, and he had high blood pressure and shouldn't be agitated. Don't talk to him like that."

Allison shot a knowing glance at Luke, indicating that he should say some kind words to appease his grandfather.

Luke ignored his mother. "Grandfather, Mother, what do you think I should do?"

Old Master Crawford glared at Luke and said sternly, "Bianca Rayne looks like a good girl, but she's immature enough to tarnish our reputation in the engagement ceremony. How am I able to face my peers after this? Let me tell you, I won't accept Bianca Rayne as my granddaughter-in-law no matter what!"

Allison was delighted to hearthat, but she did not show it on his face. Instead, she complained to Luke, "It's not just Bianca Rayne. Don't you know that her grandfather and aunt are also devious characters? Not only did they not show any remorse for what Bianca did, but they've insulted me. If you don't believe it, you can ask your grandfather. If that's the kind of upbringing they provide for that girl, she will never be a match for you. A chicken will never be a phoenix even if you give it golden feathers…"

Luke interjected, "That's enough, Mother. Do you think that I'm not here to listen to what you say about Bianca?"

Allison furrowed her brows tightly. "Why are you so stubborn, my son?

What's so good about Bianca Rayne?"

Old Master Crawford slammed the end of his walking stick on the floor and commanded sternly, "No matter what, don't ever think of marrying Bianca again. After she gives birth to the baby, bring it to Crawford Manor and send her off with some money. You have to cut all ties with her. If you insist on marrying her, then don't blame me for being cruel!"

Old Master Crawford also had a merciless character in his younger days, and he had taught Luke many of his ways. Luke knew very well what his grandfather was capable of doing.

"Alright," Luke said a single word.

Old Master Crawford and Allison were stunned by that single word.

Did they mishear?

Did Luke just agree to cut ties with Bianca Rayne?

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 476-I Didn’t Know That You're So Liberal, Bianca!

The next day.

Leia sat in the makeup room while a makeup artist worked on her face. She browsed on her phone, eager to look at the latest updates on Bianca's scandal.

She could imagine Bianca's face at that moment.

However, as Leia scrolled through her Twitter feed and looked at the various accounts of the major influencers and media outlets, she could not find any scandalous news about Bianca.

Leia was shocked. She realized that something was amiss.

She could still find news and gossip about Bianca at midnight yesterday. How could everything disappear in just one night?

Most shockingly, when she tried to search for the accounts that Charmaine had contacted to share Bianca's article, all of them seemed to have disappeared. She could not find anything in the search bar…

Leia started to panic.

She immediately dialed Charmaine's number, disregarding the fact that she was in a makeup session.

However, no one answered the call, no matter how many times she dialed the number.

She even had the urge to smash her phone!

Seeing that Leia's expression was becoming unpleasant, the young makeup artist asked carefully, "Ms. Norman, are you unsatisfied about my work?"

Everyone knew who Leia's father was. No one in the production crew dared to cross her.

Fortunately, except for some occasional tantrums, she was rather easy to please.

Leia did not listen to what the makeup artist said. The only thing in her mind was why things had turned out that way.

Charmaine had found many influencers to share Bianca's article, and Leia had spent a lot of money on them. Leia thought that the article would make huge waves, but the outcome was totally the opposite of what she expected.

Leia gritted her teeth. 'That stupid Charmaine can't even do one simple thing. I'll deal with her later!' She cursed in her heart.

Leia's phone suddenly vibrated and gave her a huge shock.

She shot an impatient glance at the call notification and saw that it was Luke calling her. Instantly, she became ecstatic!

She wanted to answer it instantly, but she thought that it was the first time the man had called her and decided that she should restrain herself a little.

The phone continued ringing for about twenty seconds before Leia answered it.

"Hello?’ She said sweetly.

"Ms. Norman. Are you free after work tonight? I'd like to invite you for dinner." On the other end of the call was Luke's resonant and charming voice.

Leia wanted to be reserved and play hard to get, but she remembered that Luke had a temperamental character. What if she declined his invitation now and he never called back?

She agreed to it hurriedly. "Yes, I'm free today. I only have a commercial shoot today, and I should be off by about half-past five." "Alright, I'll see you at Restaurant Nine at half-past six." "Um, Luke, can you…"

Leia wanted to ask the man if he could pick her up at the studio.

She would feel incredibly proud if Luke Crawford could personally arrive at the studio to pick her up!

Before she could finish her sentence, Luke had already hung up. Half of the sentence was stuck in her mouth.

Even so, Leia was extremely happy.

She knew that Luke's icy heart would not warm up to her that fast. However, if he would give her a chance, she believed that she would be able to eventually win him over.

The makeup artist saw Leia's blissful expression and said enviously, ’Is that your boyfriend, Ms. Norman? He has a really nice voice!" "Yes! My boyfriend doesn't only have a nice voice, but he's also very charming!" Leia said smugly.

It was as though Luke was her boyfriend.

While the makeup artist applied blush on Leia's face, she flattered her, "Ms. Norman, you're so beautiful, and you have a good upbringing. You must have good taste in men. Your boyfriend should either be the son of an influential politician or a tycoon, right?"

Leia tried to humble herself, but she could not hide the pride in her eyes." No, there are many men who try to court me, including many sons of people in high positions. I've never accepted any of their advances because I only love one man. He is Luke Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation. I'm not asking a lot from him. I only hope that he'd treat me better…" "Oh my god, it's Mr. Crawford!" The makeup artist

nearly shrieked out loud." He's the dream lover of all the women in A City. Most importantly, he isn't riddled with scandals. You're so lucky, Ms. Norman. Only a man of such status could be a match for you!"

Leia was happy because of the makeup artist's flattery. She could not stop grinning, and she instantly appointed the young woman to be her exclusive makeup artist.

For the rest of the day, Leia was immersed in the joy that she would be having dinner with Luke that evening. She completely forgot about Bianca, i

She could not wait for work to be over so that she could go on the date with Luke.

T Corporation.

As Bianca and Nina walked into the design department office, they could see their colleagues looking at them with peculiar gazes. Some were pointing at them and whispering among themselves.

Bianca was frustrated. At the same time, she wondered why the usually quiet office was somewhat lively.

The male colleagues congregated in small groups, discussing something while looking at their phones. They stopped talking when they saw Bianca come in, though their expressions of surprise, sympathy, and condescension were apparent…

Some were even mocking her.

Only Sue was looking at Bianca with worry.

Luke had dealt with the article at the earliest possible moment, but some employees managed to read it.

They looked at Bianca with suspicion and condescension because they thought that the article made sense. Some people even took screenshots of the pictures.

Bianca ignored them. She greeted Sue and sat down in front of her desk.

Bella, adorned in heavy makeup, came over and started mocking Bianca. "I didn't know that you're so liberal, Bianca! I was deceived by your pure looks! Those foreign men are pretty good in bed, right? One isn't enough to satisfy you, tsk tsk, aren't you afraid of breaking it if you sleep with several men at once? You're a celebrity in the company now!’

Another male colleague also chimed in with bad intentions, "If I didn't read the article, I would have been deceived by her pure looks. Ms. Rayne looks serious at work, but I bet she's pretty wild in bed…"

Bianca was both embarrassed and angry at their insulting words.

She turned to look at them with a cold gaze. "Madam, I respect you because you're my work superior, but if you don't stop your slander now, don't blame me for what I will do to you!"

"Oh my, I'm so scared!" Bella patted her chest sarcastically and grunted coldly.

She took out her phone, opened several of "Bianca's" saved photos, and showed it to Bianca. "The evidence is plain for all to see, yet you're still denying it? Look at your disgusting face. You don't seem satisfied by all the men there!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 477-Bianca’s Imposing Speech!

Bianca glanced at the photo on Bella's phone.

Suddenly, she laughed. "I was wondering what you're going to show me. Turns out that it's just a few photos. How sure are you that the woman in those photos is me? Image editing technology is so advanced now. It's so easy to transplant someone's face onto another body. Moreover, the so- called evidence provided by the article is full of errors. Do you actually believe it? Are you three years old?"

As Bella looked at her phone while churning her brain, trying to find a retort, Bianca continued, "Haven't you realized something else too? Every account that shared the article is banned. Can you open the link to the article? You can't! How could that happen? It's because the article is false and libelous. Mr. Crawford has already reported the article to the authorities, and anyone who shares it will face legal consequences."

Nina glared at Bella, then at the nosy male colleague.

Bella could feel her heart skip a beat. She was starting to panic.

She heard from Mavis that Bianca had rejected Luke's proposal at the engagement ceremony and had tarnished the Crawford family's reputation. Knowing how cold and heartless Mr. Crawford was, Bianca would quickly be removed from the scene, and Mavis would replace her position. That was why Bella had mocked her so openly.

Bella did not expect that Luke still had feelings for Bianca even after the scandal broke out. If she knew about that, she would not have humiliated her.

The male colleague was also dripping in cold sweat.

He was somewhat handsome and had certain talents in design. Several female colleagues like him, but he was not interested in women who took the initiative.

He had thought that Bianca was a pure woman. Unexpectedly, that woman was actually a harlot in private. That stark contrast made him interested in her. He even thought of giving her some money so that she would sleep with him.

He did not expect that his boss would still be defending the woman despite her tattered reputation. At that moment, he hated his big mouth.

It took him a lot of effort to get to where he was on his career ladder. He would not ruin it because of a slip of his tongue!

The other colleagues felt lucky that they kept their mouths shut.

Before they knew what actually happened, it would be most prudent to control what they say.

Otherwise, they might get into trouble without them knowing it.

Bella was feeling fearful, but she was not going to give up, though her voice had become a lot softer. "Hmph, how pretentious! I heard that you're from a poor family, and it's not surprising if you did that while studying abroad. Have you ever thought of going back to your part-time job, Bianca? I have some rich clients to introduce you!"

Then, she turned to look at the male employees surrounding them. "If you all have any urges in the future, you don't have to go too far. There's one in our department. She’s beautiful and has a nice figure, and she's definitely cleaner and more value for money than those you find outside!"

Someone responded with a burst of laughter immediately after Bella finished speaking. It was from several female employees who envied Bianca.

They had been in the company for longer than Bianca. However, Bianca was better than them in terms of appearance and work capability. She was the main obstacle to their promotion, and they were happy to see her being humiliated.

The male employees looked at Bianca ambiguously, but they did not want to court trouble and therefore kept their mouths shut.

Only Tom stood up and retorted Bella. "Madam, do you actually think that the article was telling the truth? Why would it be deleted then? Every one of us here should know Bianca's character, even if it's not her entire personality. Moreover, don't you think that it's immature to conclude that the woman is Bianca from several edited photos?"

Bella was furious when she heard Tom speak up for Bianca. "You seem like you're very protective of Bianca, Tom! You don't look like you're so close to her. Don't tell me that you're…"

Bianca slammed a thick stack of design documents on the table and said coldly, "That's enough! Don't go overboard, Bella Sloan! Without knowing someone's past, you create rumors irresponsibly. Don't you know that there are legal consequences for that? According to Section 246 in the Criminal Code, anyone who damages the reputation of an individual by the fabrication of facts will be sentenced to a maximum of three years in prison. You can talk to me if you're unhappy with me, Madam, but you shouldn't have slandered me like this. I don't want to waste my time at work to be involved in such meaningless conversations. If you do that again, I will contact my lawyer, and we can continue the conversation in court!"

Every word in Bianca's speech was forceful and overbearing. Her demeanor reminded Bella of Luke Crawford, and that had made Bella shut her mouth.

"Hmph, I didn't say those words. I saw it in Rita's article, it has nothing to do with me!" Bella looked at Bianca sheepishly, then roared at the surrounding employees. "What are you all looking at? Get back

to work now!

Then, she slunk back to her office.

After Bella left, the employees stopped their gossip and returned to their tasks.

Bianca felt a headache because of her anger, but she knew that she should not be agitated because that would have a negative effect on the baby in her womb.

Sue and Nina comforted her, and she soon calmed down. She started reading the information about applying for the architect certification.

She did not do so earlier because even though she received her master's degree in engineering economics, she did not have the required work experience of two years or the experience in managing a construction project for one year.

Now that she had worked in T Corporation for almost a year, her scope of work included designing buildings and overseeing construction projects. In another two months, she would be qualified to apply for the certification.

The certificate held a lot of value. Among the millions of architectural designers in the country, only about four hundred thousand were certified architects.

She needed the certification if she wanted to advance her career in T Corporation.

After work.

Luke sent Bianca home and gently kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, I'll have to go out for a while. You and the children should have dinner first. I will be back soon."

Bianca knew that he was going on a "date" with Leia. She felt insufferable agony in her heart, but she forced a smile on her face and straightened his suit. "Alright, be back soon."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 478-Let Go!, You've Got The Wrong Person!

Luke could tell that Bianca was feeling anxious. He hugged her tightly in his arms, almost hoping that they would fuse into one. "Don't worry about it. It’ll be over soon."

Bianca smiled gently.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. "Well wait for you to come back."

Luke lowered his head and pecked Bianca's delicate and graceful neck.

Then, Luke drove off.

From the second floor of the villa, Bianca looked at the Bentley until it disappeared from view. She felt helpless.

Of course, she was uncomfortable thinking about Luke's "date" with Leia Norman.

She knew that Luke was only acting, but Bianca felt uneasy about it.

However, at that stage, there is no way to solve the CD incident completely except for being patient.

Leia wore sunglasses and was in a superb mood that night. She drove her luxury car to the parking lot near Restaurant Nine.

Leia parked the car and was about to get out of the driver's seat when she saw a dark figure in front of the car. The figure appeared out of nowhere and seemed like he was injured.

She heard him scream out in pain. "Oh! It hurts! Come and look, this luxury car is killing me…"

Leia was taken aback and hurriedly opened the car door. As soon as her expensive stilettos touched the ground, she saw a middle-aged man with ragged clothes and messy hair lying half-dead in front of her car.

He seemed "wounded" and there was a pool of "blood" dripping off his arms and thighs.

Leia thought that the homeless man looked familiar.

The grime on the homeless man's face was so disgusting that she was not willing to look at it a second time.

She drove very slowly, and so the chances of her hitting anyone was low. The homeless man appeared in front of the car just as she parked. He was clearly a conman.

The usual Leia would have intimidated the homeless man.

However, she was rushing for a date with Luke and did not have time to waste.

She took out a stack of cash from her handbag and threw it at the homeless man. "Take the money and get lost! Otherwise, I will call the police!"

The homeless man's bloody arm rushed to grab the cash. He looked up and was extremely surprised to see Leia, dressed extremely fashionably and exquisitely!

Not bothering to continue with the "injured” act, the homeless man crawled over and hugged Leia's leg tightly.

He cried out, "My dear daughter! My good girl! Leia, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found you! I suffered in my journey to find you, and I can’t even afford to eat… Yet you're living a good life and don't even think about me! Why are you so unfilial?!"

Leia was shocked when she heard that he claimed he was her father!

She stared at the homeless man. The man in front of her reminded her of Dexter Shaw, who stalked her previously.

"Let go! You got the wrong person! I'm not the person you're looking for! If you continue bothering me. I'll get someone to kill you!" Leia threatened and shook off his hand. She wanted his dirty hands chopped off.

However, Dexter's hand was like a hook that tightly wrapped around her leg. He did not let go as he said, "No, I’m right. You are my daughter. You look so much like your mother, Suzy. You are my daughter Leia Shaw. You have a thumb-sized birthmark below your left armpit. I remember! I also know that your father, Mr. Norman, has no biological daughter. He only has one adopted daughter from an orphanage, and that's you, Leia. If you don’t believe me, you can pluck the hair on my body and take it to a DNA test!"

Everyone in A City knew that Mr. Norman adopted a child from an orphanage. Anyone could have found that information out easily.

After Dexter bumped into Leia twice, he got suspicious when he saw how similar Leia's face was to his wife Suzy.

He and Suzy had a daughter. A while later, he owed a large debt at the casino. The mobsters forced him to pay the debt off immediately and would chop both his hands off if he did not.

Dexter was afraid that they would chop off his hands, and so he sold his wife. He wanted to sell his daughter too. Even though the girl was young, she was extremely smart. When she was supposed to be brought home by the buyer, she escaped.

For that reason, Dexter got severely beaten up by the buyers and almost became disabled.

For so many years, he could not find Leia Shaw. He did not expect that his hard work would pay off. He finally found his daughter!

After so many years, that skinny little girl turned into a beautiful movie star. Dexter was overjoyed! He wanted to extort more money out of her.

However, his daughter did not recognize him, her biological father. Instead, she repeatedly emphasized that she was Mr. Norman's daughter.

Dexter took a long time and went to find out the ins and outs of the situation.

Dexter hung around casinos year-round. He found out information fairly quickly through his network of homeless men. Through repeated comparison and analysis, he was sure that Leia was his biological daughter.

Leia gritted her teeth at the thought of the birthmark that Dexter mentioned.

She had been busy recently and almost forgot about it. She had to schedule some time to get rid of the birthmark soon.

As for Dexter, she would find a way to shut him up!

It was dinner time. Seeing that more and more cars were around, Leia was afraid that someone would notice her. She was afraid that others would see her with this homeless man…

She grabbed another stack of money from her handbag and threw it at Dexter. "I know you just want more money! This money is for you. Get out of my sight right away! If you try this again, I will make sure you get what you deserve. My dad, Mr. Norman, will make sure you learn your lesson!" "Good girl, I know you love me! Don't worry. I won't look for you if there's nothing urgent."

Dexter could only focus on the banknotes flying around him. He could not care less that Leia meant to humiliate him.

He was overjoyed!

It was great to have a daughter who was a movie star. The money came so easily!

His daughter was so rich, of course, he had to make good use of it.

Leia stared contemptuously at Dexter. She took advantage of the time he was focused on picking up money and quickly slipped away.

Leia felt disgusted thinking about Dexter.

What should she do with her so-called "biological father?"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 479-Pay The Price for Her Idiotic Behavior!

Leia had worn a white dress because she thought that she looked pure and innocent in white. Someone once told her that she looked like a beautiful flower when she wore white.

On the way to the restaurant, Dexter had dirtied Leia's dress.

It might not be an obvious stain, but Leia, perfectionist that she was, went to the boutique next door and bought a new set of clothes.

After Leia changed her clothes and arrived at Restaurant Nine, Luke was not there yet.

In the luxurious restaurant, Leia sat by the windows. She was looking at the city lights with an unwilling expression on her beautiful face.

On a normal date, the man would be the one waiting for the woman at the restaurant.

However, she went as far as making a booking in advance and waited for Luke. She felt wronged…

Leia was dressed in an elegant yellow cocktail dress. Paired with her alluring makeup, she looked classic and dreamy under the restaurant lights.

Her expression carried a trace of pitiful charm, which made her look extremely delicate. She could arouse men's desire to protect her.

She booked a regular table instead of a private room.

The first reason was that she felt that her beauty should be appreciated by men, and the other was that if Luke and she were seen on a date in public, they would definitely make headlines the next day. That was what she wanted to happen.

About half an hour later, Luke arrived at Restaurant Nine.

Luke saw Leia looking out the window with her head resting on her chin. He slowly walked to the opposite chair and said, "Sorry, Ms. Norman, I’ve been occupied by work lately. Sorry to keep you waiting." i

He pulled the dining chair and sat down.

Luke was a noble, elegant, profound, and cold man that could charm anyone.

When Leia saw Luke, there was no doubt that she was overjoyed. The complaintsand dissatisfaction toward him had disappeared. She felt like the colors were more vibrant, and the sky was brighter because of him!

It was as though he was her holy water, rejuvenating her dry and withered spring, making it gurgling and flowing again.

She felt alive because of him.

Leia answered softly, "Don’t worry about it. I didn't wait for long. I only arrived just now."

Even though she waited for him for nearly an hour, Leia was willing to as long as she could lay her eyes on him. As long as Luke showed up, she would be happy even if it meant that she had to wait for him the entire night.

Luke concealed the coldness in his eyes. He smiled like a gentleman at Leia as he said, "What do you feel like having? I'll get the menu."

Leia thoughtfully said, “I'm not a picky eater. You can order whatever you like."

His handsome face became more refined the more Leia looked at him. Luke smiled and said, "How could that be? I’m sure you have a favorite dish, Ms. Norman. Order whatever you want; don’t be a stranger. I'm not

hungry now, so I’ll just order some hors d'oeuvres."

Even if all the world’s delicacies were in front of Luke, he was not in the mood to enjoy it with that woman.

If he did not have ulterior motives, he would not bother to play nice with such an unappetizing woman.

He was waiting to go home so that he could have supper with Bianca and the children.

Although Bianca usually cooked home-cooked food, it tasted amazing, and she was no worse than a professional chef. He had become picky with food after he had Bianca's cooking.

However, since she got pregnant recently and with the consideration of reducing her workload, the family hired chefs and nutritionists to cook for them.

Occasionally, Bianca would also cook for the family.

He enjoyed the family time and cherished the warm feeling when he had a meal with his family, i

Leia was taken aback by his response and smiled even more sweetly. "We have known each other for so long, Luke. Why would you still call me Ms. Norman? Call me Leia from now on. I have been to this restaurant with my parents before. The food here is delicious, and you will definitely find something that you'll like. How about you tell me your tastes, and I’ll order for you?"

Luke looked at Leia as he answered, "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Norman. I don't have a favorite dish. You can go ahead with your order, don't mind me."

Leia was angry that Luke insisted on calling her "Ms. Norman.”

Luke had never referred to Bianca as "Ms. Rayne." Now, Luke was like a stubborn donkey that did not listen to what Leia said. She felt annoyed and helpless. 1

However, it was precisely his arrogant character that made her obsessed with him.

Anyway, she had time. Bianca would be soon forced out of the game. She could afford to be patient with Luke.

Leia felt a little better as she thought about that.

To avoid an awkward situation, Leia ordered meals, desserts, and drinks, all of which were small in portion but delicate in taste.

The waiter was extremely efficient. He quickly brought the food and backed off respectfully.

At the dining table, Leia tasted the food every once in a while.

She saw that Luke only drank a few sips of his drink and probed, “Luke, what happened between you and Ms. Rayne? I heard she canceled the engagement. I thought the both of you were very loving. How could such a thing happen?"

Looking at Leia's ignorant and innocent eyes, Luke sneered sarcastically inside. He answered casually, "Nothing, it happened and there is no way around it. Maybe I have too many shortcomings that it made her feel insecure, so she insisted on leaving." 1

Leia looked at Luke's lips and gently comforted him, "It doesn't matter. If Ms. Rayne wants to leave, let her be. It's her loss giving up a good man like you. Many women in A City want to marry you. You lost a

tree, but you still have a forest." "Oh? Does the forest include you, Ms. Norman?" Luke's long eyelashes dropped slightly, concealing the gloom in his heart.

He did not want a forest; he only cared for Bianca.

For a long time, his heart had been so cold and dark that even if a dense forest grew there, it would only wither and decay. Although Bianca, his little tree, was weak and faltering, she was extremely tenacious. It had taken root in his barren soil, growing his barren heart into a patch of emerald green.

Luke knew that Leia was trying to test him, so he looked at her and just uttered a few words. His expression was slightly cold. 1

Sooner or later, she would have to pay the price for her idiotic behavior!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 480-She Could Not Move As Luke Pinned Her Against The Wall…

At the dining table, Leia looked at Luke, completely fascinated. She did not notice the coldness in his eyes.

She said while acting shy, "That's not hard to believe. No woman can escape your charm. You're a smart man, and you should know how I feel about you. It was deep and sincere love at first sight."

Luke concealed the sarcasm in his eyes, and he said in a neutral tone," Thank you, Ms. Norman. I'm not worthy of your love."

He looked at his watch and found that it was close to 8 p.m. He knew that Bianca would be anxiously waiting for him.

Luke said, "Ms. Norman, are you done with your dinner? I have something else that I need to attend to. See you next time."

Leia was unwilling, but she nodded when she noticed Luke's coldness." Well, if you have something to attend to, please feel free to head back. I’ll see you soon."

She knew that she had to be patient in her quest to claim Luke's heart. She should not rush him. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

Luke sent Leia home.

Along the way, Leia's heart was all aflutter, as though she was Pooh and he was the honey.

She looked at Luke and felt that he looked so charming when he focused on driving. 3

The street lights shone through the car windows and illuminated his handsome side profile. The lighting highlighted his natural elegance and extravagance.

Leia was extremely obsessed with Luke's face. It was perfect and alluring. To her, he was God’s greatest creation.

They sat in silence for the entire journey, i

Before she knew it, they arrived at the Norman residence. When the car parked outside of the Norman residence, Leia was surprised that time flew by that quickly.

She said to Luke, "Thank you for sending me home. I had a wonderful time." "My pleasure." Luke's deep-set eyes hid his emotions well.

Leia unfastened her seat belt and was about to get out of the car.

Suddenly, she turned to Luke and kissed him lightly on his cheek before Luke could react.

She opened the door, quickly got out of the car, and slammed the door.

Leia was covering her blushing cheeks, and her heart was beating like crazy. She was not sure why she was so bold tonight.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was right for her to confess her true feelings. She was not sure if that made Luke feel anything.

So what if he could not forget Bianca for now? Things could change over time.

There were two reasons why men could not forget their past love. The first was that not enough time had passed, and the second was that their current love was not good enough.

Leia believed that she could afford to wait for Luke. She was determined to be by his side until he forgot Bianca. Moreover, a goddess like her would be a qualified lover for Luke. One day, that man would open up to her love.

Inside the car.

Luke took a wet wipe and cleaned the area where Leia had kissed him. He was disgusted! He even used disinfectant on his face. He wiped his cheek so hard that the skin almost came off.

The man's expression was ice cold.

'Damn that woman!'

She was part of his ploy, and he could not kill her off. Otherwise, he would make her wish that she were dead!

In the Norman residence.

Queenie was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater when Leia walked into the house in a happy mood.

Leia saw her adoptive mother at peace. She put her handbag down, ran straight to Queenie, and put her arms around her. "Mom, I have good news.

I'm about to have a boyfriend!"

Queenie put down the half-knit sweater and turned her head in surprise. "Is that true? Where does he work? If you have time, take him home and show him to me. I'll check him out for you."

Leia's heart skipped a beat when she thought of Luke's handsome face. She wanted to keep it a secret. "Mom, it's not time to bring him home yet. When the time is right, I will bring him to you and Dad. I assure you, you will be more than satisfied."

Queenie touched Leia's head with relief. She smiled lovingly as she said," Since when have we kept secrets between us? Leia, you can't just focus on his appearance. More importantly, you should observe his personality and how he conducts himself around people. At the end of the day, it’s best to choose someone that you can be comfortable with." "I know. Mom, I'm very comfortable with him. I've never been so comfortable with anyone!"

Leia hugged Queenie and put on her sweet-daughter act. "I love him very much."

Queenie thought of Leia's obsessive feelings for Luke. She probed, "Leia, please don't tell me that the boyfriend that you're talking about is not the same type of man as Luke? Listen to your mother. A man like Luke may seem great, but he's so closed off! He's not the one for you, you should stay away from those kinds of men. Can you promise me that?"

Leia wanted to tell Queenie about Luke, but seeing how her mother was so prejudiced against him, she became irritable.

Her mother's words were like a wet blanket.

She said angrily, "I heard you, Mom. I know what I’m doing."

When Queenie saw that her daughter acknowledged her, she was relieved.

Leia was her darling, and she wanted to give her the best.

She did not expect Leia to marry rich. Her only hope was that Leia would be happy and healthy for her entire life.

Queenie thought she was doing good, but in Leia's eyes, her adoptive mother was standing in her way to happiness.

The crack of the relationship between mother and child would usually start small. With Luke in the picture, the gap between them grew bigger.

At the same time, Bianca sat on the carpet in a daze. There was a book on her lap, but she had not turned a single page, as if the book was only a decoration.

Her chat notifications kept going off. Nina and Sue were trying to reach out to her in their group chat.

Bianca occasionally replied with short messages. Although she was chatting with her close friends, her mind was not here at all.

She was in a terrible mood.

It was half-past eight, and Luke had not returned as promised. Bianca was getting anxious.

She thought about how, at that moment, Luke and Leia might be dining while flirting. Bianca could not help but feel a pang of jealousy in her heart…

Curse his handsome face!

That man has a face so exquisite that it brought more harm than joy. Sometimes, she would prefer if Luke looked plainer so that the women around him would not even bother.

If Leia had not taken a fancy to his beautiful face, things would not end up like this…

Just as Bianca was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened.

The cold air from outside rushed into the house, and Bianca could not help but shiver. She saw Luke walking in, the stars lighting his way.

Bianca turned her head around angrily and refused to look at him. She stood up and walked toward the other room, but before she could take two steps, Luke had already caught up with her.

Luke grabbed Bianca's slender arm domineeringly and pulled her back gently. Bianca could not move; Luke was pressing her against the wall…
