Ch. 511..520
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 511-Her Petite Body Was Almost Crushed By Him!
Seeing that the man was still unconscious, Nina returned to her car and hurriedly dialed 911.
Then, she returned to the man.
"Sir, wake up! Can you hear me?" She went to check if the man was breathing again.
Before she could touch his nose, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, lightning flashed and Nina saw the man’s deep gaze. She was so scared that she almost fainted...
Her finger was trembling as she pointed it at him. She asked, "You... You...
Are you a human or a ghost?"
Johann Stiles' indifferent gaze swept across Nina's body and finally landed on her ordinary face. 'You fool, you hit me!"
He felt like he had the worst luck today. He had five major surgeries back to back that day, so he was extremely tired. Before he could get some rest, he received an emergency call to attend to a general's child.
After he was done, he did not expect to encounter such horrible weather when he was heading home.
His car even broke down on the way.
When he was checking the engine, a crazy woman came out of nowhere and hit him!
Johann regretted not accepting his patient's kind offer to have his driver send him home.
"Sir, don't worry, I’ll be responsible and cover all your medical expenses! I’ve called an ambulance for you." Nina nodded hard.
The man was alive! It was great that he was fine as she did not need to go to jail.
"Help me get in the car!' Johann looked Nina up and down again.
"Huh? What did you say?' Nina could not hear him clearly because the rain was too loud. Her mouth was wide open.
Johann wondered if she was mentally retarded. "I said, help me get in the car! The rain is so heavy and my leg was hit by you so I can’t move. Do you want to make my injury worse?"
Only then did Nina react.
She dragged the man up from the ground with all her might. Almost all of his weight was placed on her because his leg was injured and he was unable to move.
Nina did not expect that this thin-looking man would be so heavy. She felt that her petite body was going to be crushed by him!
Nina finally got Johann into the passenger seat of the car. She was panting for her life.
She opened the door to the driver's seat and sat inside. She noticed the man's disgusted look as he scanned across her car.
She wanted to say something, but it occurred to her that he was driving a Maserati. As such, she kept her mouth shut.
Johann endured the sharp pain in his leg and said, "You, take your clothes off!"
Nina could not believe her ears. 'What? What did this man just say?!'
When he saw that she had not reacted, Johann urged her impatiently, "I said, take your clothes off!'
Nina was so angry that she wanted to give the man a few tight slaps. 'How shameless are you? I said that I would take responsibility for the accident, but you still want to be indecent?!"
Johann laughed out loud.
His gaze fell on Nina's chest. She was wearing a heavy raincoat so he could not tell if she had a good figure, i
He sneered and said disdainfully, "Aren’t you being a little too narcissistic? If you hadn't opened your mouth, I would've thought that you’re a man.
Look at how flat you are, I'm not at all interested in you!" "How dare you call me a man and say I have a flat chest?!" It was not that Nina wanted to argue with him.
She was boasting. Although her looks were ordinary, she had a good figure that would make anyone jealous and resentful.
This b*stard not only wanted to take advantage of her but also humiliated her like this. How low could he go?!
"My leg is still bleeding, do you want me to die? You idiot, help me bandage my leg!" Johann was speechless.
If his clothes were not soaked, he would not have bothered to ask the woman for her clothes.
Nina was taken aback and looked at his leg. She saw that his leg was bleeding non-stop, even staining her car seat and foot pads red.
"Oh, okay..." She hurriedly took off her coat in embarrassment while she complained, "I just bought my car but it's already getting dirtied so soon. Going to the car wash is going to cost me a lot of money. Sigh, I can only blame myself."
Johann was almost driven mad by this woman! He was the one who got hit but this stupid woman was focused on her dirty car. He was speechless!
Johann grabbed her clothes and bandaged up his wounds like an expert. Nina was stunned. This man was so professional!
After treating the wounds on his leg, Johann inadvertently raised his gaze and saw that Nina was wearing a cropped tube top.
His gaze moved slightly, causing the corners of his lips to twitch. Although this woman looked stupid, she had a great body.
Only then did Nina have the time to look at Johann.
She had not expected this man to be so handsome. Although his face was still stained with blood and rain, it did not affect how good he looked at all. He had sharp facial features, a tall nose, and sexy thin lips. He was more attractive than Brad Pitt!
The hospital was not too far from where they were, so the ambulance arrived quickly.
When the paramedics saw that Johann was injured and alone in the car with a girl with an amazing body, their eyes widened in surprise as they uttered, "Park... Dr. Park, why are you injured?" "A stupid woman hit me. I don't want to talk about it," Johann said angrily.
Dr. Park?
Nina pricked her ears and eavesdropped on their conversation.
This man was a doctor? No wonder his bandaging techniques were so adept!
At the same time, she thought to herself, ‘How dare this man call me stupid?!' "By the way, take this woman to the hospital too. She bumped her car into me so she’s responsible for all of my medical expenses." When Nina eavesdropped on their conversation, she heard Johann say that.
"Don't worry, I won’t sneak away!" Nina was irritated. Was she the kind of person who bolted when an accident occurred?
"I can find you even if you sneak away. Your license plate number is QA9175,1 remember it!" Johann got into the ambulance and pointed straight at Nina.
What?!
Nina was stunned.
It was raining so heavily outside so it was difficult to see anything. The man was so badly injured but he was still alert. He even remembered her license plate number!
She was impressed!
The next day.
Bianca went for her check-up. The doctor said that her body had recovered very quickly and after a while, she could try to walk on crutches. Bianca was in a good mood when she heard the good news.
In the morning, Louis Crawford visited her. He brought gifts and chatted with her for a while before leaving.
Not long after he left, Jim Holston unexpectedly visited her as well. He had brought his baby, Simon Holston, along.
What Bianca did not expect most was that following them was a beautiful and frail girl with a slight bump and a worried face...
It was Scarlett Quincy. 1novelbin
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 512- Serve Our Country, Then Marry Rainie!
Jim Holston was wearing a branded suit. He had mature facial features and a bright smile, looking just like an aristocrat.
He was holding Scarlett Quincy's hand, clutching it domineeringly as if he did not want her away from him.
Scarlett was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were filled with sadness.
The strangest thing was that when she looked at Jim, her eyes revealed a kind of fear, despair, and disgust.
However, when her gaze was on Simon Holston, it became gentle and loving.
Simon's tiny body was dressed in a cool camouflage uniform. He had on a military green beret and a pair of military boots. His outfit made him look even more handsome.
Simon sat on the sofa and put his hands in his pockets coolly. He chewed gum and occasionally blew a few bubbles. Bianca exclaimed, "How is he so cute?!”
Although Lanie was also very charming, the child was too mature.
Especially after she got into a car accident, he had turned into a different person. He was acting so sensible that it stressed her out. At the same time, she lamented that her son did not have the liveliness and vigor of children of his age.
After she met Simon, Bianca felt that this was how a normal child should be like!
"Bianca, I have something to discuss with Luke. I’ll catch up with you later," Jim said to Bianca and then handed Scarlett's hand to Simon. "Look after Aunt Scarlett for me and don't bully her, okay?" "Dad, Aunt Scarlett is so gentle and beautiful. How could I ever bully her?" Simon could not help but roll his eyes at his father.
Jim smiled and moved in to kiss Scarlett, but unexpectedly, she timidly turned her head to the side.
Her actions turned his handsome face ugly, and he held her cheeks domineeringly. He said with an evil tone, "Hey, we have a child together now, so what are you thinking? It's best if you forget about everything in the past. You’ll pay for what you did once we get home!" 2
Scarlett's eyes filled with tears. Her heart felt like it was stung by a bee, causing her unspeakable pain.
Only after Jim kissed her did he let her go. He then went to Luke's study with a satisfied look on his face.
After he left, Scarlett saw that Bianca was staring at her curiously. She wiped her tears and said embarrassingly, "Sorry that you had to see that, Ms. Rayne.” "Scarlett, you and Jim...? Are you... pregnant? He’s the father?" Although Bianca was not close to Scarlett and the only contact she had with her was the time when her Persian cat scratched her, she still had a good impression of Bianca.
She was not a fan of gossiping, but Scarlett's appearance made her curious.
"Yes, I’m a little more than two months along." Scarlett clutched her stomach. There was nothing but a look of death in her big eyes. She did not look like someone who was excited to become a mother.
More than two months?
Bianca suddenly remembered that two months ago when she went on a holiday with Luke, she had heard a distressed female voice in the next room.
On the day they were to return, the girl she saw in the next room looked like an upset Scarlett.
There had also been a man in the room whom she did not get a good look at. Was that man Jim?
At that time, had she been forced to sleep with Jim?
If that was the case, Jim was a horrible man...
Bianca was thinking about how to comfort Scarlett when Simon suddenly lay down on her recliner. He had an adorable face and asked curiously,"
Aunt Bianca, do you think I look handsome in this outfit today?" "Yes, you look great! The shirt makes you look extra handsome," Bianca rubbed his head and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt!" Simon, who was praised, was delighted. His big round eyes looked around the room, but he did not see the person he wanted to meet.
A little disappointed, he asked, "Aunt, why aren't Rainie and Blanche here today?"
Bianca pinched his tender cheeks and thought that they were so smooth." Rainie and Lanie are with Great-grandpa in Crawford Manor today, so they didn't come over. Why? Did you want to play with them?"
Simon scratched his head and acted a little embarrassed. "Aunt, I like Rainie. When Rainie grows up, can you let her be my wife?"
He had always liked Rainie. He thought that out of all the girls in school, no one looked better than Rainie.
He also liked that she had a very good temper and acted like a lady. Rainie was different from those naughty and overactive girls. She was very kind and helpful.
However, Rainie did not seem to like him, so to get her attention, he would often pull her pigtails and bully her in various ways.
"Simon, do you know what a wife is?" When Bianca heard Simon say this, she was stunned for a moment and then smiled slightly. 'Kids these days.'
Simon puffed his cheeks and said in a serious tone, "I know, Aunt. Dad said that if you like someone, you’ll miss her if you don’t see her for a while, and you would want to give the best things to her. Dad told me that if I like someone, I have to make her my wife. If I don’t see Rainie every day after school, I’ll miss her very much. I want to be with her all the time. Besides, I want to give Rainie all the gifts that my father and Aunt Scarlett gave me. I think I really do like her. Rainie said that she likes soldiers and masculine boys. Aunt, I promise you, I’ll serve our country and then I’ll come back to marry Rainie!"
Bianca was utterly speechless.
Even Scarlett was a little dumbfounded. Simon was Jim's only child.
Although Simon was naughty and often punished by Jim, she knew that Jim had endless love for Simon.
Besides, the Holston family only had this son who would eventually inherit the family business. Jim would never let his only son serve as a soldier.
Bianca did not expect that Simon would know so much at such a young age. He even spoke coherently. She was amused that someone wanted to place dibs on her daughter when she was still so young.
Rainie already had options for her marriage in the future.
Seeing that Simon was acting so serious, she could not help but kiss his cheek and said, "If Rainie likes you, I'll allow you to marry her."
Bianca thought that Simon was smart and mature. He would likely be a handsome man when he grew up.
What was more, their families were close. It was not a bad idea to entrust her daughter to a childhood sweetheart like Simon.
Simon gave Bianca a lovely smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt, you're so kind. Dad said that Aunt Scarlett also has a baby in her belly, and I'll be getting a sister soon. When my sister is born, she can be Blanche's future wife."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 513-He Would Take Care of Leia As Soon As Possible
Simon felt distressed because of that crazily overprotective brother, Blanche.
Every time he tried to play with Rainie or bully her, her annoying brother would show up and kick his butt.
Simon figured Aunt Scarlett would give him a beautiful sister and he would let her marry Blanche. If Blanche bullied him again, his little sister could help him take care of Blanche. Simon thought he was so smart!
"How do you know Aunt Scarlett is carrying a girl? What if it's a boy?’ Bianca could not contain her laughter.
The little one was so interesting. Not only did he want to marry her daughter, but he had even arranged for her son’s marriage.
"No, Dad says it's a girl, so it must be a girl. I want to have a sister. I don't want a brother."
The little one gave a loud kiss on Scarlett's cheek as he spoke, "Aunt Scarlett, you're going to give me a beautiful sister, aren't you?"
Scarlett's watery eyes brimmed with affection. "Yes, I'll give birth to a baby sister for you."
Bianca was a little surprised when she saw them getting along.
It was said that the devilish young master of the Holston family had a bad temper. He had driven away many socialites and ladies whom Jim brought home. How did he get along so well with Scarlett?
Bianca suddenly realized something shocking as she sized them up. Simon's eyes were so similar to Scarlett's.
However, why did two people who were not related by blood have almost identical eyes?
A bold idea appeared in Bianca's head.
'Is it because Scarlett resembles Simon's biological mother so Jim is forcing her to stay with him?'
It was just like those cliche novels. The hero's beloved woman unexpectedly died, leaving only the product of their love. One day, he suddenly found a substitute who looked similar to his dead lover. Disregarding the heroine's will, the hero thought of every possible method to imprison her with him.
Bianca let her imagination run wild. Then, she looked at Scarlett sympathetically.
"Miss... Ms. Rayne?" The strange look in Bianca's eyes made Scarlett a little fidgety. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
Bianca took Scarlett's hand. It was soft but surprisingly cold. "It's okay, Scarlett. We're kinda friends now, so you don't have to call me Ms. Rayne like a stranger. Just call me Bea. Do you have cold intolerance? Why are your hands so cold? You should pay more attention to taking care of your body, or your baby will also have cold intolerance when they're born."
Scarlett smiled at her, revealing two faint dimples. "Yes. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that. By the way, my cat scratched you that time. I've always wanted to apologize to you but never got the chance. I'm so sorry. I don't know why my cat went crazy. He has always been well-behaved and never hurt anyone..."
Bianca was once again amazed. The girl was indeed a beauty. Her warm smile was gentle, sweet, shy, and timid. She was just like a budding fragrant gardenia, making people see the world in pure white. No wonder Jim wanted to keep her by his side!
"It's okay. It's been a long time since that happened and I'm okay now. Is your cat alright? Are you still working at Blue Honors?" Bianca had forgotten some of the details from that day.
However, the scene of Scarlett crying and holding her dying cat as she pleaded with Percy remained fresh in her memory.
That cat must have been very special to her.
Otherwise, she would not have shown such a desperate and hopeless expression at the sight of the dying Persian cat.
Scarlett said gratefully, "Yes, Nono's back to full health now. A good friend of mine gave him to me and he means a lot to me. Thank you for not going after it, or he would have died. I resigned from Blue Honors a couple of months ago. I now take care of Simon at the Holstons' residence while I nurture my baby..."
Scarlett spoke the last three words somewhat sarcastically. It was as if she was enduring some kind of humiliation and pain.
"Scarlett, don't overthink it. Just have the baby. After all, the baby's innocent. We have to go through all kinds of hardships in life, but we'll still get whatever we want in the end." Bianca was not in a position to probe into the private affairs of others. She wanted to comfort Scarlett further, but she did not know what to say.
Scarlett looked so fragile. Besides, Bianca had a weird intuition that even comforting her would be indescribable torture for Scarlett.
"Get whatever we want? That may be true for others, but it's impossible for me..." Scarlett chuckled sarcastically.
Suddenly, she thought of the familiar woman she had met at Blue Honors and changed the painful subject. 'Bea, do you know Leia Norman?"
Rumors of Luke and the Norman family's heiress, Leia, had been all over the place lately. Various media reported that a marriage between the Crawford family and the Norman family was imminent. 1
However, while others might be unaware, Scarlett had come into contact with Luke several times through Jim.
Every time that man talked about Bianca, the love and affection in his eyes were inconcealable. How could he possibly marry another woman?
"Yes, we're acquainted." More than acquainted... That woman was trying to steal her man! novelbin
Scarlett got lost in her memories. "When you had that incident in Blue Honors, I thought that actress Leia was somehow familiar when I saw her, but for a moment, I couldn't remember who she was. When I saw her poster afterward, I remembered we met when we were kids. We grew up in the same orphanage, and her name wasn't Leia Norman then. It was Leia Shaw. She left after being adopted by Mr. Norman and his wife. A lot happened at the orphanage, and I never saw her again. Bea, you'd better avoid Leia. She's... She's scheming... You'll suffer..."
Scarlett quietly told Bianca about some of the things that had happened when she and Leia were at the orphanage.
She had foolishly treated Leia as her sister and shared everything with her. She would rather starve so that she could give Leia the delicious food she tried hard to get.
However, Leia had framed her again and again. In the end, she was left with a bad reputation while Leia became the most popular kid at the orphanage.
"Yes, I'll be careful. Thanks for warning me." Bianca's contempt for Leia deepened after hearing Scarlett's brief description.
At the same time, she broke into a cold sweat. She never expected Leia to be so scheming since she was a child.
However, Luke had said to leave everything to him. After dealing with the disc incident, he would take care of Leia as soon as possible.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 514- Her Trump Card!
The days went by, and Bianca's legs gradually recovered under the doctors' meticulous care.
Slowly, she was able to walk on crutches.
Bianca had been drawing design plans and studying for the architect exam while she rested at home.
She occasionally painted oil paintings in her spare time and led a pretty comfortable life.
However, Luke was getting busier and busier recently. He came back very late every day, and he looked tired when he was back.
It broke Bianca's heart. She only wished she could take his place in dealing with the arduous work.
However, Luke only comforted her, saying that everything would be all right when it was over.
Bianca did not believe it. Her right eyelid had been twitching lately, making her feel indescribable panic.
She wanted to ask Luke about it, but she was afraid of causing him trouble because he was already stressed out. Thus, she gave up.
Bianca tried to search online for news about Leia and Luke, but there was nothing new about them online, only old news.
Still, Bianca felt that something was wrong.
Supposedly, Luke was now 'dating' Leia, and based on how well she knew Leia, the woman must be itching to let the world know that they were together.
Luke was even the media's focus and their darling. They would not let go of any opportunities, regardless of how small or big, to write about him. How could there be nothing online?
Bianca did not know that Luke was afraid that she would become paranoid after reading the fake gossip online, so he had someone block all the news from the outside world. He also used the most advanced network technology to make the web pages Bianca clicked on only accessible to certain ports to view old news.
Luke had also warned Sue and Nina, who were close to Bianca, in advance. He asked them to keep everything happening in the outside world from Bianca.
Therefore, Bianca had no idea what was going on out there.
As such, Bianca also had no idea that Luke and Leia's upcoming engagement was all over the headlines.
T Corporation.
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Norman is here." The assistant secretary's landline had just rung when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Luke, are you still busy with work?" As soon as the door opened, Leia's soft and nauseatingly sweet voice sounded.
Walking into the masculine and lavish office, Leia, who was dressed in white Chanel couture, ran her hands over her freshly maintained straight hair. She walked over to Luke who was working hard.
Leia was a little disappointed to see that the man was so immersed in his work he had no time to pay attention to her appearance, but the inconcealable ambition in her eyes became more obvious.
She was beautiful and wealthy. Now, this man was about to get engaged to her. Marriage was only a matter of time.
She was almost Luke's nominal fiancee now.
However, she wanted more than an engagement. She wanted to be the young mistress of the Crawford family.
She wanted to be the only woman in his life and for him to fall at her feet.
Leia gave a confident smile. "Luke, why are you so busy?" "Do you want something?" Luke signed his name at the bottom of the contract without even glancing at Leia.
"You're busy every day. It has been a long time since you've accompanied me shopping. I'm going to a film award ceremony tomorrow. Can you go with me?" Not minding Luke's indifference, Leia smiled obediently in front of him.
She knew this highly qualified man was not that easy to conquer. He had the right to put on airs and graces to women.
She could accept his attitude.
Leia thought men ought to be forceful like that. If he stuck to her like a lap dog, then she would not be bothered at all.
Luke's hand paused, and he said coldly, "Sorry, I'm very busy these days."
Without glancing at Leia, the man pulled out another stack of thick papers, ready to continue working.
Leia was a little mad at him for ignoring her like that.
She took away the documents in his hand and said aggrievedly, "Don't be so cold to me, Luke. We're both about to be engaged. You're my future husband now. Why do you still treat me like this? I know you're very busy with work and don't have much time to accompany me. I'll also try my best not to disturb you. Luke, you should take care of your body no matter how busy you are with work. You're not made of steel. You've got to take some time off. Besides, I'm here at a time when you're about to get off work-" "I really don't have time right now. I'll accompany you when I do." Luke was in a bad mood after his work was interrupted.
He glanced up at Leia impatiently. Her youthful pretty face did not appeal to him in the slightest. In fact, he found it annoying.
There was no doubt that Leia's face was exquisite, especially when she had put on delicate makeup and was wearing the most exquisite clothes. It made her look exceedingly beautiful and slender. However, Luke thought of Bianca's bare little face with no makeup.
The overly dressed-up Leia was immediately overshadowed in comparison.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Leia pulled out her trump card.
Her expression looked innocent as she said, "Dad said he wants you to come with me to the Normans' residence tonight. He has something to discuss with you. Luke, you need to see my father no matter how busy you are. I went to the study to call Dad over for breakfast today and I seemed to have overheard Dad talking to his secretary about some disc. Luke, they even talked about you and when our wedding is going to be..."
Luke stopped working. A cold and restrained smile appeared at the corners of his lips. "Okay, I'll go shopping with you after I finish these papers."
The charming and elegant smile somehow made Leia's scalp tingle a little, but she did not care.
So what if the man did not love her? She had something on him, so he would have to marry her anyway.
After he was done with work, Leia took Luke’s arm as she walked through T Corporation's lavish and gorgeous hall.
At the sight of their intimacy, the capable Mavis narrowed her eyes and glared at Leia's flawless fair face that was due to all the makeup she had on. The woman was acting all high and mighty as if she was already Mrs. Crawford. She felt surge after surge of bitter jealousy in her heart.
She did not expect Leia to immediately fill the vacancy as soon as Bianca left Luke. Now, that woman was about to get engaged to the man she had been secretly been in love with for so many years.
"Mr. Crawford," Hiding her admiration for Luke, Mavis greeted him respectfully.
When she faced Leia, she hid her true emotions and was equally courteous. "Hello, Ms. Norman." "Hello, Ms. Laviere." Leia also sized up the gorgeous and capable Mavis.
She smiled gently but was actually cooking up a plan in her heart.
She knew that Mavis was one of Luke's best right-hand persons, but her intuition as a woman told her that this woman was not simple and had inappropriate thoughts about Luke.
She would fire this woman as soon as she became the CEO's wife.
After saying hello, Leia took Luke's arm and left. The corners of Mavis' lips raised sarcastically as she looked at their backs.
'Does Leia really think of herself as the CEO's wife?
'Ha, how can a scheming woman from a darn orphanage be good enough for the boss who's of noble birth?
'It's still uncertain whether the engagement will work out
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 515-Stole Her Identity And Took Her Man!
Leia's hands were full of shopping bags when she got out of the mall.
Although she was exhausted, she was happy because all the shopping had been done with Luke's card today.
Even though she could afford it, it was the first time the man she loved had bought anything for her. Leia could not be happier.
Luke waited for Leia in the driver's seat. He spoke somewhat impatiently," Get in the car."
Leia felt a little awkward.
She had bought so many things that both her hands were full and she could not open the car door.
However, seeing that Luke had no intention of helping her at all, she bit the bullet and put down what she was carrying in her right hand. She opened the door by herself, put the things in the car, and sat in the passenger seat.
When he took in the strong and pungent fragrance inside the car, Luke resisted the impulse to sneeze. He opened the windows on both sides and even opened the sunroof.
"Luke, thank you for shopping with me today. I really enjoyed it," Leia said in a coquettish manner as she beamed.
Luke only focused on driving and spoke lightly, "As long as you're happy."
Leia let out a sigh of relief.
She knew men did not enjoy shopping with women, especially elite men like him who were often swamped with work.
However, he unexpectedly accompanied her from the beginning to the end. Though he was not exactly cordial or considerate, she was content to have him go shopping with her.
She would soon become Luke's wife and the envy of all the women in A City anyway. She would not only be under the Norman family's protection but also possess the Crawford family's wealth.
At this thought, Leia's aggrieved mind gradually filled with bigger desires.
Her eyes that were looking at Luke grew more and more enthusiastic.
'So what if that b*tch Bianca is the real heiress to the Norman family? I've not only stolen her identity but also imposingly took her man. I want to prove to the world that I'm no longer that sloppy poor thing with low self- esteem from back then at the orphanage. I'm a woman who enjoys glory and power!'
Suddenly, Luke's phone rang in the car, interrupting Leia's flight of fancy.
Luke casually glanced at the caller ID and tapped on the answer button." Hello?" "Luke, where are you?’ Bianca's voice came from the phone.
She seemed to have just woken up.
Luke's expression softened a bit and he spoke gently, "I'm driving right now.
"Okay, drive carefully. I've just knitted a little sweater for the baby. It's white. The color will suit our third baby whether they're a boy or a girl..." Bianca was knitting the baby's little sweater on the couch while her phone's speaker was on full blast.
Luke could not help the smile on his face. "It doesn't matter what color it is. They have no right to be picky." "By the way, Luke, you need to come home earlier tonight. I've asked the nutritionist to make some chicken pasta and an appetizing minestrone soup. You've been working so hard lately that you've lost weight. We'll eat together when you get back," Bianca said with concern.
"Ah! Ouch!" interjected Leia, who was nearby.
She had naturally heard a female voice on the other end of the line.
Though she could not quite hear what the other person was saying, she could not help exclaiming when she saw Luke's gentle expression. "I'm sorry, I must've pulled a muscle on my neck."
Leia deliberately touched her neck, pretending to be in pain. It was as if she had really pulled a muscle on her neck.
However, Luke's gaze that was as cold as the winter snow frightened her into silence as soon as she spoke.
Luke's gaze was so scary it looked like it would turn into a sharp knife and cut her neck at the next moment.
"Luke, who are you with right now? Is it Ms. Laviere? Why do I hear a woman's voice?" Bianca asked nonchalantly.
She did not care much because she knew Luke and believed in his character. The man would never fool around.
Moreover, Bianca believed him more since the time they had an open and in-depth conversation.
"Yeah." Luke lowered his eyes and replied with a deep voice.
Bianca put down the baby's sweater and jokingly warned, "I know you cant avoid some things, but stay away from her. Others have always had bad intentions against you. Beware of falling into her trap." novelbin
Luke smiled faintly, and his tone unconsciously became doting. "Of course.
Bianca immediately hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She dared not talk more for fear that it would be dangerous for him to be on the phone while driving. She continued knitting the sweater in her hand.
Over here, Luke hung up the phone and looked at Leia with a malicious gaze. "You'd better not interrupt me when I'm on the phone."
Leia shuddered, and aggrieved tears almost came streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Luke. I just pulled a muscle on my neck by accident. It really hurts. I won't do that again."
Luke drove as fast as he could. "If you want to be Mrs. Crawford, you should know that you won't be the only woman in my life. Leia, I can give you a title, but you can't interfere in my private life. I won't interfere in yours either."
Leia lowered her twinkling eyes, holding back the tears that were about to overflow. She obediently nodded. "Okay, I understand."
A sarcastic smile tugged at the corners of Luke's lips. "It's great that you understand. What we have is an arranged marriage. We have no feelings for each other, but that's okay. I'll give you as much as I should, but you must also do your part." "Okay," Leia said even more cautiously.
Luke then stopped paying her any more attention.
Leia resentfully clenched both her fists. Many men chased after her and doted on her like lap dogs but she did not even spare them a glance. However, the man she worked so hard to get was so indifferent
to her.
She was a little disappointed but did not regret it.
Leia understood that powerful men in high society had all sorts of female and male confidants who they shared ambiguous relationships with. Some even kept mistresses openly, but she believed Luke was not like those men. Even if he was cold to her now, life was so long that she had plenty of time for him to accept her.
However, the female voice on the phone clearly belonged to Bianca.
Leia felt sick to the core as soon as she heard her voice. No matter how reasonable and cultured she was, it all turned into nothing.
It was because of that woman Luke was so distant from her.
She had promised to leave A City and stop pestering Luke, but who knew the b*tch went back on her word!
Clenching her teeth, Leia began making up her mind maliciously. If Bianca wanted to remain in A City, then she must get rid of her forever! 1
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 516-You Lunatic, Why Don't You Go To Hell?
Luke was driving extremely fast.
Leia wanted to vomit but was worried about her image, so she endured it in great pain.
Luke did not mean to drive so fast. He just did not want to spend any more time with this woman. He wanted to send her home as quickly as possible.
"Lu-Luke, can you slow down? I'm getting a little carsick…" Leia could not stand the incredible speed. It was more frightening than a drag race. It scared her.
Luke was expressionless. "I like the speed."
The grievance in Leia's heart flared up, but she could only swallow all her dissatisfaction since Luke liked it.
Enduring the dizziness, Leia grabbed the seat belt tightly and said hesitantly, "Luke, we'll have a legitimate relationship once we get engaged. Why don't we get the marriage license first? We'll hold the wedding after we get the license. What do you think?"
As soon as Leia said that, Luke coldly made a sideways drift. The whole car seemed to take off and make a 180-degrees side turn, causing Leia to scream!
The traffic on the overpass was not heavy, but there were still cars. Was the man not afraid of being filmed for stubbornly driving at such a high speed?
Besides, what if there was an accident? She had just confirmed her wonderful future with him and did not want to die.
"We'll talk about it after the engagement. What's the hurry?" Luke's furrowed brows had not been able to relax.
Leia was dissatisfied.
She remembered the grandeur of Luke's engagement to Bianca. She wished she could have a grand wedding too.
She thought she could become Luke's lawful wedded wife after they received the marriage license, but the man was obviously unwilling.
However, so what? She would invite all major media to their wedding reception.
By then, not only A City but the whole country would know that she was Luke's wife. With this in mind, Leia stopped being so particular about it.
"Then we'll do as you say. Let's move in together after the engagement party. My mom says that our feelings for each other will deepen if we move in together—" 1 Luke slammed on the brakes!
Even though Leia had fastened her seatbelt, she still hit the back of the car seat so hard that she broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain, i Luke's face was immensely grim, and he irritably smoked a cigarette. "Do you know how noisy you are?"
Leia reluctantly shut up but could not help saying, "I'm sorry. I'm just so happy we're getting engaged…"
Luke stepped on the gas again, and the whole car sped off without waiting for Leia to calm down.
Leia clutched the seat belt tighter and tighter. She had always found the man overly temperamental. Her heart was full of fear for him but she was also more obsessed with such a wild Luke.
Leia was sent back to the Normans' residence. Jack and his wife were occupied with a dinner party and had not yet returned. Their caretaker, Ms. Lang, was cleaning the house.
The moment she saw Leia, Ms. Lang took off her mask and said, "Ms.
Norman, we're spring cleaning today. Please unlock your room, I'll help you clean it."
As Leia was such a private person, there was only one key to her room. Even Queenie did not have one, let alone Ms. Lang.
"Okay." Leia unlocked her room door and told the caretaker sternly, "Ms. Lang, my things must be intact. I don't like others touching my things. Do remember to…"
Bang!
Halfway through her sentence, her face suddenly became horrified.
The slightly opened door was immediately slammed closed, and she could not help shivering!
Ms. Lang was shocked by the sudden sound of Leia slamming the door. She banged on the door hard and asked, "Ms. Norman, what's come over you? What happened?" "No… Nothing. I just feel a little dizzy and want to rest for a while. Why don't you clean the other rooms first?" Leia lied and forced herself to calm down.
"Okay, Ms. Norman. Call me if you need anything. I'll be around. I'll contact Mrs. Norman if you're really not feeling well," Ms. Lang said without doubting her.
Leia broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the giant photographs on her bedroom wall.
What she used to hang on her walls were European paintings or artistic photos of herself, but now those paintings had mysteriously disappeared and were replaced with her nude photos.
There were nasty photos of her with a man too.
The enlarged photos were so clear that they showed even the most private of parts. They were harsh to the eyes! i The look in the woman's eyes in the photos was seductive and revolting, while the look in the man's eyes was wild and evil. The man was none other than Wayne!
'That b*stard! He's out of his mind!' Leia tore the obscene photos off the wall and threw them on the floor. Verging on madness, she tore them to pieces!
Then, she set the torn pieces on fire with a lighter and burned them to ashes as she trembled.
However, that was not enough to calm her anger, and a bigger panic set in.1 How did Wayne get these photos into my bedroom?' Not to mention that the Normans' residence was located in a high-class residential area with strong security measures, but it also had numerous surveillance cameras and a top-of-the-line security system. However, that man was able to sneak in without anyone knowing?
The thought of it alone was horrifying.
'What is the man upto?
'Is it because I didn't obey his obscene requests and found him a few young models instead? So this is his revenge and warning?' Knock, knock. It was the sound of Ms. Lang knocking on the door. "Ms. Norman, are you alright? Why does your room smell of smoke? Are you burning something?" "Ms. Lang, have you been at home all day? Has anyone been to my room? Have you been in here?" Leia asked as she freaked out a little.
Puzzled, Ms. Lang said, "No. I was at home all day today and no one came. Isn't your room locked all the time? I don't have the key to it. How am I supposed to get into your room?"
Leia's fear heightened.
Suddenly, her phone rang eerily.
Leia shuddered and tapped the answer button exasperatedly when she saw that it was a call from Wayne. "Wayne, what the hell do you want?"
Wayne was like a cruel wolf on the other end of the line. His voice was so cold. "Darling, I got you an engagement present. Do you like it?"
Leia felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. "You lunatic, why don't you go to hell?!" "Leia, am I not good enough? Why did you choose to marry that man Luke Crawford?"
Wayne's voice was joyous, but it sent chills down people's spines for no reason. "I'll overlook the trick you played on me last time for now. If you dare to trick me again, I don't mind letting everyone see what the socialite Leia looks like in bed! I miss you. I miss your body. Let's meet at the same place. I'm in suite A6666 right now. You have half an hour. I'll wait for you!"
Leia threw away the phone. Her face contorted with anger, and her fingers trembled terribly.
She was now the focus of the media, and her engagement to Luke was imminent. The consequences would be terrible if the media filmed anything.
'For God's sake, how the hell am I going to get rid of that jerk Wayne?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 517-Unceremoniously Selling Out His Mother Hotel.
After Wayne's persistent torturing, Leia barely had one last breath left.
When her body was full of bruises and marks, she received a call from the private investigator agency.
They gave her an address.
Though she was exhausted, Leia drove to the mysterious destination.
Today’s sun was not harsh, and it was Luke's rest day. He stayed in the villa to accompany Bianca and the two children.
After lunch, Luke took the two children to the outdoor pool for a swim.
The outdoor swimming pool was oval-shaped. Looking down from above, it was like an emerald embed in the mansion garden.
The pool water was blue and warm.
In the pool, Luke, who was wearing sunglasses and shorts, patiently taught the two adorable kids how to swim.
Bianca lay quietly on a recliner, reading a book as she smiled at the interaction between the father and children.
Although Bianca held a book in her hand, her eyes would still drift to Luke from time to time.
The man was in great shape!
Even though she had shared the same bed with him for so long, Bianca had never observed him so closely. Now that he was basking in the golden sunlight, she could see the perfect proportions of his body.
Luke had strong muscles, but he was by no means a muscular man.
Under the sun, the man's body was well proportioned as if God had carved him with beauty and power. He moved with a natural grace, like a strong cheetah.
Bianca's heartbeat sped up, and erotic scenes could not help emerging in her head.
She could not help blushing a little when she thought of the wonderful feeling of his body being pressed over hers.
She was a little envious that the two unworldly children could touch him so blatantly. 1 Bianca was so absorbed in the view that her book fell on her lap and jolted her awake.
She pinched her face in embarrassment.
'Ah ah ah! Why do I keep thinking about such indecent things recently?
'Is it because I haven't done it with Luke lately so I'm now after his charms?' The more Bianca thought about it, the more incompetent she felt. She forced herself to focus on the book, but the more she controlled herself, the more she could not help glancing at Luke.
According to Reddit, looking at a handsome guy a few times a day could add years to your life. After all, beautiful things made people feel good and prolonged their life.
One of the greatest pleasures in life was to look at handsome men, so she had done nothing wrong.
With this in mind, Bianca finally found a reason for herself to 'fangirl' and ' peep’ at Luke openly.
"Dad, Mom has been looking at you. She has been looking at you for a long time!" Blanche splashed the water and pointed his little finger at Bianca, laughing and unceremoniously selling out his mother.
Luke looked back but only saw Bianca calmly flipping the pages of the book while pretending to read carefully.
It was as if her attention had been on the book and not on him at all.
The man said with a half-smile, "That’s because your father has a great figure and alluring charms. Blanche, you can do the same trick when you have a wife."
Blanche asked in a silly manner, "Which trick, Dad?"
Luke looked at his son's stout figure with distaste. "That's if you have a body like me. Otherwise, no girl will be interested in your sprout-like figure."
Blanche splashed the water hard with his little hands. He said defiantly," Dad, don't look down on me. My figure will be ten times better than yours when I grow up!"
With the round pool float around her body, Rainie wrapped her arms around Luke's thighs and giggled. Her melodious voice sounded like a ringing bell. "Dad, can I use the same trick when I grow up?"
Rainie's words immediately set off the alarm in Luke's mind.
Looking at his beautiful and clever daughter, he could not help but picture her as a grown-up in his mind.
He dared not imagine it.
Picking up his baby daughter, he lectured patiently, "No, it's only for men, not for girls. Rainie, even when you get older and there’s a guy who likes you, you should never expose your body to him. All the men in the world are bad boys except your brother and me. They'll lie to you, hurt you, and make you cry. You must never trust any other man, got it?"
Little Rainie tugged at Luke's wet hair and nodded, vaguely understanding his words. "Got it, Dad."
Luke nodded with satisfaction and kissed his little girl's fair and tender cheek. "Good girl!"
Bianca was speechless. novelbin How was their daughter going to date when she grew up if that daughterdoting devil Luke was educating their daughter in such a way, instilling these ideas in her from an early age?
Leia stared at the happy family in a spot not far from the villa that was not covered by the surveillance cameras.
Her eyes were red, and the jealousy in her heart was growing madly like creeping weed.
Sure enough, that b*tch Bianca had not left A City. Luke was still with her even though they were getting engaged tomorrow.
Leia's lips trembled, and she felt sad and bitter, i She frantically tugged at the flower branch. She wanted to rush in and wipe that grin off Bianca's face!
She broke down and wanted to cry!
She saw that Bianca's belly was showing. That woman's brat did not die from the crash!
She saw how gentle and caring Luke was to the woman as he walked toward the villa with her in his arms. She saw the twins in cartoon bathing suits following behind them, skipping along the way! 1 The happy family of three hurt her eyes! 1 She thought Bianca would have run far away from A City after seeing the disc, but unexpectedly, the b*tch was being lovey-dovey with Luke in a corner she could not see!
She was Luke's rightful fiancee, but she could only hide in a dark corner where jealousy devoured her!
'It's not fair!' 2 Leia's eyes were full of hatred.
She loved Luke so much that she gave him all her heart and love. She constantly put up with his indifference to her and even said that she would not interfere in his private life after marriage. However, she did not expect him to treat her so cruelly!
What about all the things that she had compromised and done for him? It all looked so ridiculous now!
Leia suddenly looked up. Her gaze fell on the backs of the happy family of four-including the baby in Bianca's belly-and the indescribably beautiful villa.
Heinous hatred once again burst out of her. She was not going to let this matter drop just like this.
Leia wiped away her tears and walked to where the car was parked.
Getting into the driver's seat, she stepped on the gas and reluctantly left with insane hatred!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 518-I Trust Him In Whatever He Does
In the mansion, Luke and the children were sitting on the couch in the living room playing a fantasy video game while Bianca was in the bedroom chatting with Nina on the phone.
Nina complained to Bianca that she had hit a weirdo a few days ago. Not only did he have a terrible attitude, but he had been tormenting her constantly. He wanted her to pay for his living expenses and treated her like a maid.
Thanks to that man, she was almost losing her mind!
Bianca comforted Nina for a while before the latter felt a little better, though she remained angry.
Bianca could not help but chuckle.
Nina had been lifeless ever since that incident. Bianca had not seen her acting so lively for a long time.
As they chatted, Nina suddenly lowered her voice. Bea, have you... read the news recently?” "I was busy with reading textbooks and studying some of our seniors' designs, and I haven't been paying attention to the news. What's up?" Bianca said.
Nina paused for a long while before stammering, "It's... it's nothing..."
Bianca thought that Nina was hiding something from her. She persisted." What's wrong? There’s something wrong with your tone. We've known each other for so long, and I know you so well. You must be hiding something from me."
Nina remembered the warning from her boss, then she thought about how Bianca had been so kind to her.
Eventually, she gritted her teeth and spilled the beans. ’Bea, don't you know that the boss will be engaged to Leia Norman tomorrow?" "Oh? They’re getting engaged?" Bianca knew that day would eventually come, and she also knew that he was only putting on an act. Even so, her heart wrenched, and for a moment, she seemed lost. "I've heard about it."
Nina was disappointed in Bianca's reaction. "Bea, your man is about to be engaged to another woman. How could you be so indifferent about it? Shouldn't you grill him about it? How can you sound so nonchalant? I thought the boss is devoted to you, so why would he be engaged to Leia Norman? He's so fickle!"
Nina continued to ramble and complain about Luke, but she was also suspicious about how calm Bianca seemed.
Bianca replied softly, "There are some things that I can't explain to you now, and I'll tell you all about it some other time. I trust Luke, and no matter what he does, I know that it's because he's working hard for our shared future. I trust him."
After the call ended, Bianca felt momentarily lost. novelbin
She opened the bedroom window and saw the twins and their father having fun in the living room.
Rainie lost the game. She whined to her Daddy and asked him to win the game for him. A while later, she made funny faces in front of her brother to distract him from the game.
Luke and Lanie doted upon the little girl. They pretended to fall for Rainie's antics and made her laugh.
Bianca was satisfied looking at the happy faces of her family.
If she had heard of Luke's engagement to another woman on another occasion, her heart might ache. Now, she thought that nothing else was important.
She trusted in Luke's capabilities of dealing with the matter, and she believed that her family would remain happy forever.
At the Norman residence. 1
Leia clutched the newspaper with the full spread about the union of the Crawford and Norman families. She thought that the article was nothing but a farce.
Furiously, she tore the newspaper into shreds and smashed her belongings in her room.
She screamed and wailed as though she had fallen from heaven and into the depths of hell.
Her hair was disheveled, and the exquisite makeup on her face had been ruined by tears. Sharp fragments of a broken vase cut long gashes on her arms from which fresh blood flowed freely.
She was emotionally unstable from the abject humiliation and fear she felt in her heart.
Ms. Lanf was worried that Leia might do something stupid. She called Queenie and informed her about Leia's tantrum.
Twenty minutes later, Queenie rushed back from her office. She also called Jack to come home immediately, even though he was busy with official business.
Queenie saw that Leia's room was in shambles and her arms were bleeding. "What's gotten into you, my child? Tell me what happened? What made you do all this?" She asked Leia while hugging her dearly.
Queenie frantically dressed Leia's wounds. She felt extremely sorry for her daughter. 1
Leia was her only daughter and pride and joy. Queenie had never seen her lose herself like that.
Leia pulled her bloodstained hand away and grabbed Queenie's arm. Her pale face carried a vicious and maniacal smile, which looked very unnerving.
Queenie was shocked. She wiped away her daughter's tears. "Don't frighten your mother like that, my daughter. What's wrong? Please get a hold of yourself..."
Jack also felt sorry for his daughter. "Did someone bully you, Leia? Tell me. I'll stand up for you!"
Tears fell from Leia's eyes. Her lips were shaking, and there was no life in her gaze. "Dad, Mom, Luke Crawford had agreed to marry me and break all ties with Bianca Rayne, but I didn't expect that he would lie to me. I saw with my own eyes today that he is harboring Bianca Rayne in a remote mansion, and they're living there happily as a family. Don't you know how my heart ached when I saw that scene?" "Is that true, Leia?" Jack was livid. He continued to ask in disbelief, "Is he still together with that Bianca Rayne?”
Leia laughed sarcastically and said bitterly, "I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be false. It turns out that Luke Crawford is only putting on an act with me. His promise to marry me is nothing but a sham! How absurd!”
Jack became angrier. "This is ridiculous! The Crawfords have gone overboard this time. How can they bully my beloved daughter? Don't cry, Leia. I'll make sure that you get the justice you deserve. We'll cancel the marriage and demand the Crawfords to apologize!"
Leia stopped crying when she heard that her father wanted to cancel the marriage. She shook her head frantically and said, "No, no, Dad, I love Luke. I will marry him even if it costs me my life! He might not have any affection for me for now, but after we are married, he will eventually fall in love with me. Can't you give us a chance? What we should do now is to drive that Bianca Rayne out of A City. If she's gone, Luke's affection will come to me..." "You're blinded by your obsession, my child. What should I do about you?" Queenie could not help but sigh.
She did not know why her daughter was so obsessed with Luke.
Queenie wanted to persuade her to give up her unrequited love. However, she could not bear to bring herself to do that when she saw her daughter's hollow and desperate gaze.
Queenie's usually gentle expression became stern for the first time. "We should go to Crawford Manor tonight, Jack. I want an explanation from the Crawfords. Tomorrow will be Luke and Leia's engagement ceremony, and I don't want any mishaps!"
Ever since Leia was young, Queenie had always given her daughter anything that she wanted. This time was no exception.
'There's no reason for Bianca Rayne to remain in A City!' 3
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 519-He Was the Reason She Persevered
Luke was surprised when Old Master Crawford and Allison arrived at the mansion at the height of their anger, but it was not totally out of his expectations.
He frowned. ' Mother, Grandfather, why are you here?"
Old Master Crawford's expression was sullen!
He walked in front with the help of his walking stick. Behind him was Allison and several bodyguards dressed in black.
When he saw Bianca standing in front of the couch, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
He knocked his walking stick on the floor heavily and asked his grandson with an unpleasant tone. "Why isn't that woman gone? Why are you still together with her?"
His angry gaze wavered when he noticed the slight bulge in Bianca's stomach.
The atmosphere in the living room was tense and stifling. No one made a sound.
Bianca lowered her head, averting Old Master Crawford and Allison's disdainful gazes. She did not dare to greet the guests.
Luke did not answer his grandfather's questions. He walked up to help Old Master Crawford to the couch. novelbin
Unexpectedly, the old man shoved his grandson away. Allison helped him sit down.
After he sat down, Old Master Crawford pointed one end of his walking stick at the grandson he had always been proud of. "If Jack and his wife hadn't paid a visit earlier today, I wouldn't have expected
that you do something as shameful as this, you b*stard! You've promised that you would cut all ties with that woman and marry Ms. Norman, so how do you explain her presence here?" He said furiously.
Luke stared into Old Master Crawford's eyes confidently. "Grandfather, Bianca is still bearing my child, and she had suffered a serious car accident not long ago. It's my responsibility and duty to take care of her. I don't think you want anything bad to happen to your unborn greatgrandchild, right? Who told you about this place?"
There were two reasons why he bought this mansion. The first was that the environment was ideal for a pregnant woman to relax, and the second was that the security measures were top-notch.
He completed the purchase alone. Not even Jason, his assistant, knew about the place.
He was surprised that his grandfather managed to find the place.
Who gave away the secret, or was someone snooping on them?
Luke's eyes narrowed unpleasantly when he realized that his privacy had been exposed.
No matter who they might be, he would not forgive them!
"It doesn't matter who told me about it. Why would you have anything to hide if you hadn't done anything wrong? I say, you've been utterly bewitched by that woman. You don't know what's important for you!" Old Master Crawford glared at Bianca as he said that.
He became angrier when he saw her head lowered.
At first, he had a positive impression of that pure-looking girl. He did not expect that the girl would cause them so much trouble!
Eventually, Bianca had exhausted all the goodwill Old Master Crawford had for her.
Originally, Bianca was with Luke, but somehow, she got a marriage certificate with Xavier, and Old Master Crawford's grandson had somehow become the third wheel in somebody else's marriage.
It was eventually proven that she was forced to marry Xavier under coercion, and she had eventually divorced Xavier, but from a legal standpoint, she was already considered a divorcee.
Marrying a divorcee was not good for their reputation, but Luke insisted on marrying Bianca, and Old Master Crawford had no other choice but to comply with his grandson's wishes, i
Everything was going swimmingly until the woman rejected Luke's proposal at the engagement ceremony. She had humiliated the Crawford family in front of the media.
Old Master Crawford had enough of that woman. He would not let Luke marry her no matter what!
Allison also tried to persuade Luke. "Listen to your grandfather and mother, Luke. Quickly break off all ties with that woman and don't ever contact her again. The Norman family said that they don't want any trouble at the engagement ceremony tomorrow. They want you to break up with her now, and she has to leave A City!"
Bianca looked at Luke, trying to keep as calm as possible. She was afraid that he might listen to his family and send her away to a foreign city.
She was not afraid of anything other than not being able to see him. 1
Luke was her ray of hope, and she had stubbornly clung to it.
The twins heard the commotion in the living room. They got out of bed and ran down the stairs, dressed in cute cartoon print pajamas.
They were about to greet their great-grandfather and grandmother happily when Allison started to scold them. "I say, I was wondering why the two kids aren't at home. You told me that you found a renowned
professor to help with their studies. I said that you should bring the professor back home, but you said that the professor is eccentric and doesn't want to be a private tutor. Turns out that they're here! You've done a fine job of lying to your own mother, Luke!"
The twins were confused.
When they saw how scary their grandmother had become, they stopped walking and clung to the banister carved with floral patterns.
They knew that their grandmother was in a bad mood whenever she wore that expression. If they went close to her at this time, they would definitely be spanked.
Old Master Crawford glanced at Allison unhappily, warning her not to go overboard.
After all, his treasured great-grandchildren were there. He did not want to traumatize them.
Old Master Crawford tried to keep his temper down. "Tell that woman to leave. We'll talk," he commanded.
Bianca did not want to remain in the living room. The atmosphere was too tense.
She pushed herself up with her crutches. Before she could walk away, Luke carried her in a bridal carry and walked toward the bedroom.
Allison was livid when she saw the scene. She gritted her teeth until her gums hurt.
The woman was almost a cripple, but her son still loved her so much. Was he doing that on purpose?
Luke brought her into the bedroom and kissed her forehead. "Be a good girl and rest here. I'll come back soon. Don't worry, leave everything to me."
After that, he turned around to speak to the twins who followed him in." Stay with Mommy. Let me know if you need anything."
The children promised to be good, and Luke went downstairs.
In the living room, Luke sat opposite Old Master Crawford with a tired expression on his face. "Is there anything else, Grandfather? Let's settle everything at once."
Old Master Crawford sized up his grandson with a sullen gaze. "You'd better proceed with the engagement ceremony with Ms. Norman tomorrow. That Bianca woman can't remain in A City. She will have to leave tonight. If you can't bear to do it yourself, then let me do it. I'd rather not force it on you, but if I have to do it, the results won't be as nice."
Luke's icy gaze became sharp all of a sudden. "If you put it that way, then I'm sorry to say that I'll have to cancel the engagement ceremony with Ms. Norman tomorrow!" i
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 520- Luke's Handsome Face Blushed Suspiciously
Old Master Crawford nearly choked when he heard what Luke said!
Why did that ingrate not think of how to mend the broken relationship between the Crawford and Norman families, but instead wanted to call off the marriage? That was totally different from what Old Master Crawford had in mind, and that had made him angry.
"Luke, since you were young, I've taught you that you should be a man of your word, and you should be responsible for the promises you make. What do you have to say about your actions? Do you want to be known as an unfaithful man? Do you wish for the Crawford name to be the subject of ridicule? You'll have to marry Leia Norman no matter what!" Veins bulged on Old Master Crawford's face because of his anger. His tone of voice was menacing.
To be frank, Old Master Crawford did not care whether his grandson was unfaithful.
What was more important to him was the financial benefits of the union with the Norman family!
"Grandfather, I will only marry Bianca Rayne and no one else. The engagement with Leia Norman is nothing but an expedient move, and there is no need for that now." Luke lit up a cigarette in front of his grandfather. His nonchalance was infuriating.
"It's your business if you don't care about your reputation, but the Crawford family cannot afford to lose this reputation! All the major newspapers have published the news about your marriage, and countless reporters will come to witness your engagement ceremony tomorrow. If you don't proceed with the engagement, both the Crawford and Norman families will be the laughing stock of the city! Not only will you ruin an innocent girl's life, but you'll also destabilize the stock prices of our family business. Don't you even care about that?" Old Master Crawford tried to talk some sense into his grandson.
However, Luke had already made up his mind, and he was not going to change his decision.
Instead, he said something that made his grandfather's blood boil. "You're already in your golden years, Grandfather. You should enjoy your days instead of meddling in trivial affairs. You shouldn't be emotionally agitated. That will affect your health." "You... you ingrate!' Old Master Crawford was trembling with anger.
He waved his walking stick and was about to strike Luke when Allison quickly stopped him.
"Please don't be angry, Father. You should watch your health. How can you speak like that to your grandfather, Luke? What if your grandfather falls ill? Why would you go against your grandfather's wishes because of that outsider Bianca Rayne? Do you intend to make enemies with the rest of your family?" Allison raised her voice as she reprimanded Luke, trying to make herself sound as sad as possible.
"I am not going to marry Leia Norman. I remember saying that more than once!" Luke said impatiently.
Old Master Crawford took a deep breath.
"What will you do so that you can follow through with the marriage with that Leia girl?" Knowing his grandson's stubbornness, he compromised a little.
Luke frowned.
Knowing that threats would not work, was his grandfather negotiating with him?
However, he did not have the patience to negotiate. "You cannot trade my marriage with any number of terms and conditions. You should give up."
Old Master Crawford continued to persuade him. "You're a smart boy, Luke. You should know better than me about the significance of Leia's background. Her father is gaining political clout, and her
mother's business can put up a fight with T Corporation. There will be nothing but benefits if you marry her. Are you not satisfied?" i
Norman Corporation might not be as big as T Corporation, but under Queenie's leadership, it wielded a significant amount of influence on the local economy. Naturally, the heir to the business would be Leia.
Old Master Crawford could tell that Leia might be bright, but she did not have any business sense. With only superficial talents, how was she able to inherit Queenie's legacy?
If the Crawford and Norman families were united by marriage, Luke would eventually take over Norman Corporation.
When the two corporations merged, T Corporation would be elevated to another level.
Old Master Crawford was a veteran businessman, and to him, profits always came first!
Jack was very well-connected and influential in the political scene. With his protection, there was no limit to T Corporation's future.
Old Master Crawford did not care for the character of Norman daughter.
All he wanted was the benefits of uniting with the Norman family!
If Bianca Rayne were the daughter of Jack Norman, he would not object to Luke marrying her, even though she had brought the Crawford family on several occasions.
Unfortunately, Bianca Rayne came from an unremarkable household with no significant background.
Luke exhaled a smoke ring. "Grandfather, do you think that I lack the ability to grow T Corporation? Am I that useless that I have to rely on arranged marriages to sustain my business? Moreover, I think that T
Corporation's growth is right on track. There is no reason to seek short-term benefits. You are the one who wants to grow the business, and not me."
Old Master Crawford's gaze was frigid. "So, are you set on calling off the marriage?"
Luke stubbed out his cigarette. "I don't wish to repeat myself, Grandfather." "Listen to me for once, Luke. We're doing this for your own good, you..."
Allison wanted to continue to persuade her son, but Old Master Crawford stopped her. "That's enough. Let's go! I hope you won't regret your decision, you ingrate!"
After that, the bodyguards helped Old Master Crawford up, and they left the mansion.
With a stern expression on his face, Luke made a phone call in the living room and listened to the report.
He seemed visibly relieved after he hung up.
Tomorrow would be the culmination of his plans.
'It's your time to shine, Gordan!
'There will be a fierce battle tomorrow!'
He went upstairs. In the bedroom, he saw Bianca and the children laughing while reading the top page of a thick stack of documents.
Bianca was not looking at him with her usual admiration and love. Luke was quite confused.
When his gaze fell on the stack of "documents," a blush appeared on his usually impassive face.
It was not a "document." Instead, it was a six-hundred-word essay that he wrote when he was in the sixth grade. Its title was "My Happy Family."
Luke remembered that he came from a broken family, and his mother had dumped him at the orphanage. His family was not happy at all, which was why he handed in this: I do not have a happy family.
Naturally, he received a failing grade for the essay.
The stack of paper also included homework from the other subjects. His grades were horrible.
His mother Allison had greatly affected his childhood behavior. Since young, he knew that his mother had intruded upon another marriage, and the other kids had called him the b*stard child of a mistress. That was a traumatizing experience.
He hated his studies, and he hated school. He had never gotten a passing grade in his exams. That was evidence of his unmentionable past, but somehow, his woman and children had gotten hold of it.
Luke's handsome face was in an uncanny shade of red.
He wished that he could toss the stack of paper into a bonfire. Now that his children had found out about that, how would he remain dignified in front of them?
