Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 641-You're Nothing But A Stranger To Me Now

At the shopping mall.

Nina tried on one outfit after another but did not find one that she liked. novelbin

It was rare that Nina was so excited over shopping, and so she did not disturb her. She sat on the couch, feeling rather bored.

Half an hour later, the sales clerk was still recommending clothes for Nina.

Bianca strolled over to the men’s section nearby.

She saw an elegant black windbreaker on display and reached out to touch it.

An observant sales clerk noticed her. She quickly walked up to Bianca and asked eagerly, "Madam, are you planning to buy it for your husband? This is the latest limited edition design, and it looks very well on tall men. How tall is your husband?" "He is six-foot-four and weighs 160 pounds," Bianca answered without thinking.

The sales clerk opened her mouth wide. "Wow, your husband is probably a model! You're beautiful, Madam, and I believe your husband must be handsome too. The windbreaker must look good on him."

Bianca smiled. The string of zeros on the price tag was a few times her monthly salary.

However, she bought it without hesitation. Luke liked clothes of that style.

The sales clerk processed Bianca's purchase. Looking at the way she swiped her card, the sales clerk could tell that Bianca was wealthy but kept a low profile. She brought Bianca to the women's section and continued to introduce the newest designs.

"Do you want to buy some clothes for yourself, Madam? We have some new designs for maternity clothes, and there's one that suits you..."

Bianca wagged her hand at the sales clerk while touching her stomach with her other. "There's no need, thanks. I have enough clothes at home. I'll also be delivering the baby next month, so there's no point in buying too many maternity clothes." "How about these designs? They're suitable for women who have just delivered a baby..." The sales clerk was persistent. She continued to introduce other designs for Bianca.

"I’m good, thanks." Bianca tactfully declined.

As a woman, Bianca naturally loved beautiful clothes. However, the clothes there were not cheap. She did not hesitate to buy clothes for her man, but she would think twice before buying clothes for herself.

Perhaps that was how it felt to be in love. One would give their everything for the other party.

Nina did not buy anything. The clothes were too expensive, and she was only trying them out for fun.

After they got out of the shopping mall, Nina brought Bianca to a restaurant.

Bianca did not expect to meet Xavier there.

While Xavier walked over, Bianca was looking at the traffic outside thinking of something.

She came to her senses when Nina gently tugged her elbow.

She was slightly surprised.

The Xavier Tanner in front of her looked like a different person. He was just as handsome as before, but there was a difference to his bearing. Instead of being carefree, he seemed to be reserved and taciturn.

Bianca could never forget the harm that Xavier did to her.

She looked at him wordlessly and did not know what he was thinking.

Xavier sat down opposite the two women.

Nina knew what Xavier did to Bianca. She did not hide her displeasure toward him, but Xavier was not bothered.

He stared at Bianca's bulging stomach and said, "You're delivering soon, right?" "Mm, there's about fifty more days to the expected delivery date." Bianca smiled gently whenever her baby was mentioned.

It seemed as though she was enveloped by a warm light that made her holy and dazzling.

"Congratulations that you've found the happiness you want. Do you still hate me?" Xavier said with much difficulty.

Bianca smiled gently. "I used to hate you, but I don't feel anything now. We are but strangers to each other now, and there's no point in hating a stranger."

Indeed, Bianca had hated Xavier to the bone. If not for him, there would not be so many obstacles between her and Luke. However, as time passed and Bianca and Luke became more intimate, the hatred toward Xavier lessened.

She was immersed in the bliss of her husband's love every day, and she did not have the spare time to hate someone whom she had removed from her life.

Bianca's words made Xavier's heart wrench.

He had cared for her so much, but she had treated him as a stranger.

There was nothing more ironic than that.

At the same time, in a VIP private room.

The important figures from the Tanner and Lerche families were gathered there to discuss Xavier and Melissa's arranged marriage.

Exquisite dishes and fine alcohol filled the table.

Halfway through lunch, Xavier said that he wanted to step out for a smoke. Now that lunch was almost over, he had not returned yet.

The people from the Lerche family were not happy, especially Mr. Lerche.

He had too much to drink, and the displeasure was obvious on his face." What's going on? We're here to discuss our children's wedding, so where's

Xavier? Doesn't he know any manners?"

Mrs. Lerche, decked out in luxurious jewelry, was also unhappy. "Xavier is neglecting our daughter even before the marriage. How do you think he'll treat her after they're married? I think we ought to reconsider the marriage...

Daniel and Lacey were shocked by Mr. Lerche's display of anger but dared not say anything.

They dared not offend the much wealthier Lerche family.

Daniel poured a glass of alcohol for Mr. Lerche and tried to flatter him." Don't be angry, Mr. Lerche. I'll scold Xavier later. Here, bottoms up. Let's not ruin the mood because of a minor issue."

Mr. Lerche did not take the glass, which made Daniel rather embarrassed.

Melissa was afraid that her father might call off the engagement in a fit of rage. She said worriedly, "Dad, Xavier is an adult, and he won't go missing. He must be delayed by something. I'll go and look for him."

Then, she rushed out of the private room.

Mrs. Lerche shook her head in disappointment as she looked at how worried her daughter was for Xavier. She could tell that the relationship was one-sided, and it was no wonder that Xavier was so cold toward Melissa.

After Melissa exited the private room, she asked many of the staff there for Xavier's whereabouts. Eventually, she found him sitting next to the window at the common dining area.

When she saw Xavier looking at Bianca "lovingly," she was instantly consumed by jealousy!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 642-Queenie Saved Bianca...

Bianca did not want to talk to Xavier. She felt that the atmosphere was too awkward.

She had tactfully declined Xavier's attempts at striking up a conversation, but Xavier continued to talk as though he did not understand Bianca's words.

Nina was exasperated. She wanted to shoo him away, but she did not want to embarrass Bianca.

Just when the atmosphere could not have gotten any more awkward, they heard a shrill and coy voice." I say, Cousin Xavier, I tried to look for you, but it turns out that you're having an intimate rendezvous with this seductress! How could you? You promised me that you won’t ever look for her, so what's going on now?"

Bianca's expression changed slightly. She turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Melissa, whom she had not met for a long time. Melissa was dressed in a glittering gown, and she wore delicate make-up on her face. She was walking toward the table while twisting her waist.

Xavier's expression changed drastically the moment he saw Melissa.

He bore an inexplicable disgust toward Melissa and did not even want to look at her.

Melissa ignored all of that.

She walked up to the table and brazenly hugged Xavier's elbow.

Then, she spoke to Bianca loudly as though she was bragging, "Xavier, our families are in the middle of discussing our engagement. Let's go back, our parents are waiting for us..."

Xavier shoved Melissa away unhappily and said coldly, "That's enough, Melissa. Who wants to be engaged to you? To be frank, I've never wanted to be engaged to you."

Melissa widened her eyes incredulously and continued to drag Xavier away. "Xavier, you... you must be kidding, right? If you don't want to marry me, then what does my devotion mean to you? Didn't you say that you'll accept me if I can change my capricious personality? I've already changed so much for you, so how can you go back on your promise? I know you like me. Otherwise, you won't allow me to get close to you, would you?"

Xavier glanced at the almost maniacal Melissa, then at the elegant Bianca. His frustrations from being tormented by Melissa suddenly erupted at that instant.

He glared at Melissa and shoved her away. "Look at you now, and you said that you've changed! I don't know where you got the idea that I like you. I can swear to god that I've never liked you one single bit!"

He was speaking very loudly and moving agitatedly, and his voice echoed in the open dining area. Many diners turned their heads to look at them.

A waiter noticed the commotion and jogged away to find the restaurant manager.

Melissa was prideful and conceited. She could not accept the fact that Xavier had told her in public that he did not like her.

Her gaze fell on Bianca's bulging stomach in front of her.

Instantly, she released her fury on Bianca. She pointed her finger at Bianca and started to yell, "Did you become like this because that shameless b* tch seduce you again? She’s already pregnant with another man's b*stard child, and you intend to pursue her? You..."

Awkwardly, Xavier tried to stop her. "Don't be unreasonable. Let's not involve other people in our matters. This has nothing to do with Bianca!"

Suddenly, Bianca splashed a glass of water on Melissa's face. Her delicate make-up was ruined, and she shrieked, "How dare you, you b*tch!"

Bianca glanced at the flustered Melissa and put the glass away. "I splashed water on you because I hope that you can calm down. You should know what you can say and cannot say. There's nothing between Xavier and me, so don't impose your filthy ideas on us. Also, you ought to watch your words. Don't bark around like a mad dog."

Then, Bianca glanced coldly at Xavier. ’ Rein in your woman, Xavier.

"Let's go, Nina.”

Nina glanced contemptuously at Xavier and Nina, then flipped the bird at them.

Melissa was used to being pampered. She had never been humiliated like that before.

Melissa saw that Xavier's eyes were still transfixed on Bianca who was about to leave. When Bianca walked past her, Melissa abruptly stretched out her leg and tripped Bianca.

Bianca did not expect that Melissa would harm her like that in public. She was caught unprepared and her feet slipped.

It had happened too suddenly, and Nina did not manage to catch her in time.

"Bianca!"

Nina shouted in panic. She reached out but did not even touch the hem of Bianca's clothes.

Bianca instantly broke out in cold sweat. Her first response was to protect her stomach with her arms. She was already eight months pregnant, and she could not afford to have any harm come to the baby.

Bianca thought that she would fall on the floor and was mentally prepared for the worst. She did not expect that before she hit the floor, a delicate but warm arm forcefully blocked her from hitting the floor.

Her eyes met a gentle gaze.

It was none other than Queenie.

Queenie was not one to sit still at home. After recuperating for two days, she went to work on the third.

She was on a routine inspection at one of her restaurants. Shortly after she arrived, she heard one of the waiters reporting to the manager that someone was causing a commotion in the open dining area, and one of the women involved was a heavily pregnant woman.

The incident sounded serious, so Queenie went to handle it herself. She saw a heart-stopping scene when she arrived at the open dining area.

Someone tripped the heavily pregnant Bianca, and she was about to fall on the floor. Without giving it a second thought, Queenie rushed up and broke Bianca’s fall with her body, thus averting a tragedy!

"Thank you, Mrs. Norman..." Bianca shielded her stomach with her arms and smiled gratefully at Queenie. She felt that she was extremely lucky.

"Don’t mention it. Are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort? Should I send you to the hospital?" Queenie was extremely worried. Her hands went up and down Bianca's body to make sure that she was unhurt.

The excessive worry made her look like a mother concerned about her daughter.novelbin

Meanwhile, Melissa wanted to sneak away when she saw that the situation was disadvantageous for her.

She had only taken two steps before she felt a violent slap land on her face!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 643- Queenie Is Protecting Her

Melissa covered her cheek that was throbbing in pain, and she looked at Xavier in utter disbelief.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shrieked. "How dare you hit me! This is the second time that you hit me because of that b*tch!"

Xavier's expression was ice-cold. "That's enough. You caused a pregnant woman to fall. Don't you know that your action might result in the loss of two lives?"

Melissa cackled loudly, not feeling any remorse for what she had done.

She grunted coldly and said, "She deserves to die anyway. That's for..."

Bianca took a deep breath to calm herself down so that her emotions would not affect the baby in her womb. However, her eyes brimmed with killing intent when her gaze shot toward Melissa.

Melissa instinctively took a step backward because of fright. However, she was not going to back away. Instead, her hatred toward Bianca became even stronger when she saw Xavier being protective of Bianca.

Melissa raised her hand and prepared to slap Bianca, but a slender and elegant woman stood between them and grabbed her wrist.

"Who are you?" Melissa shrieked.

The woman looked wealthy and pampered, but she was unexpectedly strong. Queenie twisted Melissa's wrist, and Melissa thought that her wrist was going to break.

"Ahh! Let go of me! How dare you... ahh!"

The agonized wails echoed in the restaurant.

Queenie's usually warm gaze was ice-cold. "I don't know who you are, Miss, but how dare you create a disturbance in my restaurant? I will not tolerate anyone bullying my customers, let alone a pregnant woman. Don't you know that a pregnant woman might give birth prematurely if she falls? Don't you know that you've committed a crime? I have the complete security footage of the incident earlier. Call the police, Mr. Wharton. Let the police deal with this troublemaker!"

Mr. Wharton immediately dialed the phone number of the police station.

After the call went through, he passed the phone to Queenie. "Madam, Superintendent Liszt wants to talk to you..."

Queenie threw Melissa’s wrist away, took the phone, and said coldly," Superintendent Liszt? I'm Queenie Ziegler. There is a murder attempt in my restaurant. Please send someone over as soon as possible."

Melissa stumbled backward on her high heels and fell sitting down.

She sprained her wrist, and she nearly cried out in pain.

She did not know the identity of the woman who suddenly appeared, but that woman's forceful demeanor made her flustered.

The security cameras had caught the exchange earlier, and the police would be on their way. She knew that her parents would be able to bail her out from the police station later, but today was an auspicious day. She was about to be engaged to Xavier, and heaven forbid that the police take her away.

Melissa's pleading gaze landed on Xavier, and she said weakly, "It's our engagement today, Xavier. Can you bear to see the police take me away? I was overcome by a fit of rage. I won't be so impulsive

anymore. Please help me..."

Xavier looked at Bianca, then at the crying Melissa. Feeling annoyed, he spat, "You deserve this!"

The police arrived very quickly because Queenie had personally called them.

When the police escorted Melissa away, Mrs. Lerche rushed out of the private room like a madman and tried to scratch and claw at the police, trying to block their way out. She even started hurling verbal abuse at Queenie and Bianca.

After realizing Queenie's identity, and after Mr. Lerche slapped her and her son glared at her, Mrs. Lerche shut her mouth in panic and could only watch helplessly as her daughter was brought away.

"Are you OK, Bea? I should take you to the hospital for an examination." In the lounge, Queenie was still worried about Bianca's condition. She insisted on bringing her to the hospital.

Bianca's heart softened when she saw the worry on Queenie's face. She took Queenie's hand and comforted her, "Thank you, Aunt Queenie. I know my body very well, and I can say that I'm fine."

Bianca was grateful that Queenie had stood up for her, even though Queenie might stand up for any of the customers in her restaurant.

Queenie's heart wrenched when she saw that Bianca was so thoughtful.

She wished that she could give her birth daughter a tight hug.

However, she did not do so after considering their identities. She reached out and lovingly smoothened Bianca's hair. "You have to tell Aunt Queenie if you need anything. Don't be a stranger to me..."

Then, she imparted a lot of pregnancy advice to Bianca.

Bianca listened to all that with a smile and occasionally nodded. Aside from gratitude, she also felt a hint of joy.

As much as she tried to deny it, she nevertheless craved a mother’s love.

Moscow.

The tip of the sharp dagger was embedded in Luke's wrist. The table was splattered with fresh blood.

Luke did not even wince, as though the dagger had cut a lifeless rock.

The stench of blood and an uncanny silence filled the foyer. The atmosphere was oppressive.

Ray's penetrating gaze stared at Luke without blinking.

There was no emotion in Luke's obsidian eyes, though Ray could tell that it was only the calm before the storm.

Ray stroked his chin and considered the pros and cons of offending Luke Crawford.

That man was cruel.

One could not be considered truly cruel if he were cruel to his enemies, but one was truly cruel if he were cruel to himself. The man was decisive and loyal to his friends. No wonder his nickname was the Cold-Faced Devil.

He wanted to cripple Gordan, but he could not afford to offend Luke.

The cons far outweighed the pros if he did so.

When Ray was about to lift his hand and stop Luke, Gordan suddenly blurted, ' Please stop, Luke! I'll marry Vivian! Stop hurting yourself!"

After saying that, his face turned ashen and he slumped on the floor in despair. However, he did not regret his decision.

Luke would lose a hand to save him, but how could he let someone else suffer for his sins?

Instantly, someone brought over disinfectant and bandages.

Luke removed the dagger from his wrist.

His wrist was a bloody, horrific mess. One could even catch a glimpse of bone.

He was so close to crippling his hand.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 644-To Queenie, This Is Enough

Even though his hand was saved, Luke thought that he had failed. Gordan should not have agreed to the marriage.

If only Gordan could hold on for a few more minutes, Luke believed that they would not have failed in the last step.

Luke could guess what Ray was thinking. Ray, as a man standing on the pinnacle of power, should be smart enough to weigh the pros and cons of offending Luke.

Luke was sure that Ray would not burn bridges with him, no matter how much he loved his sister. After all, T Corporation was under the Russian government's protection.

As the leader of the Russian mafia, Ray would not brazenly challenge the government.

That was why Luke gambled that Ray would not want him to cripple himself. Gordan had been too impulsive.

Luke shook his head and looked accusingly at Gordan.

Gordan did not show any regret. "I won't change my decision."

If marrying an ugly woman was all it took to save his good friend's hand, he would not hesitate to do so.

Ray was very satisfied with the outcome. He saw how cruel but loyal Luke could be at crucial moments.

Criminal overlords appreciated people like that. Very soon, Ray and Luke became sworn brothers.

Both parties were satisfied at the end of the negotiations.

Soon, the doctor came to treat Luke's wound.

His wrist was a bloody mess, and he had lost a lot of blood.

Fortunately, the skilled doctor soon stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound.

After that, Ray invited them to the most luxurious hotel in town and hosted a banquet forthem.

That was the first time Luke met Vivian, Ray's sister.

Luke nearly spat out the wine in his mouth. He expected a woman with a beautiful name like "Vivian" and a handsome younger brother like Ray should have decent looks. novelbin

When he saw her, he finally understood why Gordan would rather die than marry her.

Vivian was Eastern European, but she did not look like one. Instead of being tall, healthy, and beautiful, she was short and skinny like an underdeveloped beansprout.

Her skin was not as fair as the typical Caucasian, but rather dark and splotchy like a moldy piece of bread. Furthermore, her fashion sense was terrible.

The only good point about Vivian's appearance was probably her sea-blue eyes. They were not very big, but they were lively and animated. Other than that, she did not seem like a match for the tall and handsome Gordan.

No wonder Vivian remained single at thirty years old even though she had a wealthy and influential younger brother. Luke began to pity Gordan and wondered if Ray took all the good points from their parents while leaving the bad points for Vivian.

He could not help but compare Vivian to Bianca at home. Bianca was so much more beautiful.

Bianca's beauty was not the flashy type but rather modest and long-lasting. She would not take anyone's breath away, but she was a sight for sore eyes. After living with her for some time, Luke felt that the joy of seeing her had permeated his bones and touched his soul.

To him, she was the most beautiful woman.

He would grow tired of looking at other women, but not her. She was the softest spot in his heart.

He wondered what Bianca was doing at that moment.

At the Norman residence.

Queenie was in a good mood today. She had managed to convince Bianca to come over to her house to talk about a design collaboration.

Bianca could not decline the invitation. After all, Queenie was the one who saved her at the restaurant. Moreover, she knew that Queenie was her birth mother, and she wanted to know more about her mother's daily life.

The Norman residence was a three-story mansion surrounded by gardens.

Queenie brought Bianca to the third floor.

One of the rooms on the third floor was a feminine bedroom that was furnished like the scene of a dream. There was also a rooftop garden.

The two women sat down next to the coffee table in the rooftop garden and started chatting over tea.

The rooftop garden had many plants. Vines spread out over the entire trellis, while the winding path covered in cobblestones was flanked with pots of rare chrysanthemums. It was the season in which

chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and each plant was adorned with flowers of different colors. It was a breath-taking sight.

Queenie saw that Bianca loved the garden. She explained it to her gently, "I designed the layout of this garden, Bea. What do you think?"

Bianca took in the refreshing fragrance of the chrysanthemums and said truthfully, "It's beautiful, Aunt Queenie. I can feel my stress melt away, and I'm relaxed and energized."

Queenie could tell from Bianca's eyes that she loved the environment.

She could see the faint smile on Bianca's face when Bianca looked at the chrysanthemums.

To Queenie, she would not trade that smile for anything else.

Queenie smiled and said, "Actually, I designed this garden for my daughter."

Bianca did not quite understand. She looked at Queenie, confused. "Leia must be so lucky to have you as her mother, Aunt Queenie. You love her and pamper her so much..."

Her heart wrenched because she thought that Queenie's "daughter" referred to Leia.

Queenie shook her head. The usually noble and elegant woman seemed to be moved when she looked straight into Bianca's eyes. "This isn't for Leia. It's for my birth daughter." '... Birth daughter?’

Bianca's eyes opened wide, and her entire body tensed up. Her hand that was passing Queenie the teacup also froze in mid-air.

'Has she found out that I'm her birth daughter?'

Bianca's heart thumped hard. The next moment, she saw Queenie close her eyes dejectedly, seemingly immersed in the painful memories of the past.

"I thought that my birth daughter left me forever... When I gave birth to her, I passed out because of birth complications. After I woke up, I saw a lifeless female baby lying next to me... I lost my mind then, and I called out my daughter's name again and again, but her eyes remained closed and did not respond to me. Do you understand the despair in my heart back then?"

A teardrop fell from Queenie's eye and landed on the back of Bianca's hand with a splash.

A scalding pain spread from Bianca's hand to each of her organs. At that moment, she felt the same pain as Queenie...

A long time later, Bianca pulled her hand back and said, "Aunt Queenie, I..."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 645-Bianca Talked While Queenie Listened

A long time later, Queenie coughed gently and composed herself.

Bianca handed her a paper towel while gently wiped away her tears with her other hand. "Don't be sad, Aunt Queenie. I believe that things will be better."

Queenie was reluctant to turn her gaze away from Bianca's face. Suddenly, she grabbed Bianca's hand as though afraid that Bianca might disappear suddenly. "I've never met my birth daughter before, but she's the same age as you. I believe that she'll be as pretty, sensible, and talented as you..."

Bianca felt bad that Queenie was crying.

However, she was embarrassed by Queenie's praise. She lowered her head and tucked her hair before saying, "I'm not as good as you think, Aunt Queenie. I have many bad points."

Queenie massaged her temples and said caringly, "I like you, no matter how many bad points you might have."

Bianca stared at Queenie. She was at a loss.

She could not understand Queenie's sudden change in attitude. 1

Other than feeling surprised, she was also clueless.

Of course, Queenie noticed Bianca's embarrassment. She blamed herself for being too reckless.

There was still time.

Now that she knew that Bianca was her birth daughter, they would eventually be reunited someday.

To alleviate Bianca's anxiety, Queenie made up an excuse to comfort her, “ You saved my life that day, and I'm really grateful for that. If not for you, I might not have the chance to talk to you privately today. You can say that I owe you my life. If you have any difficulties, you must come and tell me. I'll help you out if I can." novelbin

Bianca smiled. "Don't mention it, Aunt Queenie. Anyone else would have attempted to save you in that situation. You've just recovered, and you should rest at home instead of overworking yourself."

Queenie was caught in a daze when she saw Bianca's smile.

'She looks exactly like a younger version of me.'

Leia returned home with Charmaine following behind.

Leia walked in front like an arrogant princess, while Charmaine followed her like a sidekick and helped her carry her handbag.

The caretaker was watering the flowers downstairs. When she heard the two young women come in, she put the watering can down and greeted them, "You're back, Ms. Norman. Are you here to visit, Ms. Weish?" "Is Mom at home, Ms. Lang?" Leia asked as she walked toward the house.

The caretaker pointed at the third floor and said, "Madam is at home. We also have a guest in the house. She's a beautiful pregnant woman."

Leia's heart skipped a beat when she heard that a pregnant woman was visiting.

Her intuition told her that the person was most likely Bianca Rayne.

She could not help but turn her head toward the third floor.

The third floor was usually locked. Leia knew that her mother had always kept that place tidy, and her mother would go up there whenever she was in a bad mood.

She could not help but feel jealous about the woman whom her mother brought to the third-floor secret garden.

From where Leia stood, she could not see if there was anyone currently up there.

Leia stopped walking. She turned around and asked the caretaker anxiously, "How does that woman look like, Ms. Lang?"

The caretaker thought for a while. "She has big eyes and an oval face, and her skin is very fair. Right, I heard Madam call her Bea..."

Leia's fingernails dug into her palm as she glared viciously at the third floor.

"Leia, did your mom really bring that seductress home?" Charmaine noticed that sudden change in Leia's mood, and she knew about Leia's grudge against Bianca. She could instantly guess the reason.

"Hmph!" Leia grunted coldly and walked straight into the house.

Charmaine hurriedly followed behind.

Leia went back into her room and slammed the door.

"You don't look like you're worried at all, Leia!" Charmaine was confused.

How could Leia remain composed when her rival was in the house?

Leia's expression was gloomy. "What's the point of worrying? Should I cry and complain to my mom? Or should I chase that woman away? Heh, that'll only make my mom hate me."

Charmaine said carefully, "Does your mom know that that woman is her birth daughter? She's such a schemer. Otherwise, your mom wouldn't bring her home. By the way, Leia, is that woman really your mom's birth daughter? Can't she be an impostor like Julie?"

Leia frowned gloomily. "That woman is indeed my mom's birth daughter."

She had secretly taken their hair samples for a DNA test. They were indeed biological mother and daughter.

"So what if they're biologically related? Aunt Queenie has raised you for so many years. No outsider could step between you and your mom. No matter what they say, you're still the true Ms. Norman. That seductress won't change anything even if she reunites with your mom," Charmaine comforted her.

Leia narrowed her gaze. "Let's go and meet that b*tch!"

On the third-floor garden.

Bianca and Queenie talked a lot, though Bianca did most of the talking while Queenie listened attentively.

Queenie asked a lot of questions about Bianca's life. She wanted to know how her daughter had been over the past two decades.

Bianca told her many stories of her childhood, which made Queenie cover her mouth and smile.

She briefly mentioned the tragic parts.

However, Queenie was a sensitive woman. She could guess from those brief words that Bianca did not have a happy childhood.

Allison took Bianca away but dumped her in the Rayne family. She was irresponsible as a mother.

Kevin Rayne remarried after that. From the fact that Jennifer was currently serving a prison sentence, Queenie could guess that Bianca's stepmother had a bad character. She could not imagine how much Bianca suffered in the Rayne family.

She felt more guilty than ever.

She took Bianca's hand, and her gaze was filled with guilt and apology." Poor child. I'll make it up..." "Aunt Queenie, I..."

Bianca was feeling embarrassed when Queenie stared at her like that.

She wanted to pull away, but she heard a pair of high heels walking up the stairs.

She turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw Leia walking in. Leia was smiling, but Bianca felt a chill course down her spine when their eyes met.

A young woman followed behind Leia. She was smiling mockingly at Bianca. The hostility on her face was palpable...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 646-A Mother's Love

Leia hid away her animosity, then walked up and leaned against Queenie.

"I'm back, Mom. Do we have a guest?" "Aunt Queenie..." Charmaine called out weakly behind Leia.

Even the usually wanton Charmaine had to behave in front of the noble Queenie.

Queenie frowned when she saw Leia and the other young woman in heavy makeup.

She was not fond of Leia making friends with women like Charmaine. She felt that Charmaine had passed on many bad habits to Leia.

However, considering that Leia and Charmaine were good friends, Queenie nodded at Charmaine and said gently to Leia, "My company needs to hire a new batch of architects, and I love Bea's designs. That's why I invited her over to talk about work."

Leia's gaze fell on Queenie's hand that was holding Bianca's hand. She was unhappy when she saw that.

Bianca happened to notice Leia's gaze that was filled with hatred and resentment.

Seeing that, Bianca smiled gently at Leia, though there was a hint of provocation in that smile.

Usually, she would not have done that, but she was quite willing to see the conceited Leia being angered.

As expected, Leia pretended to be unbothered, but the jealousy and frigidity in her gaze were obvious.

Bianca could only find it incredibly ironic. Queenie was Bianca's birth mother, and for so many years, Leia had taken what should have belonged to Bianca. What gave Leia the right to glare at Bianca that

way? Why should Bianca allow Leia to occupy her position in the Norman family?

If Leia had a better personality, Bianca did not mind staying away from the

Normans. However, Leia was a scheming and sinister woman, and she was afraid that her birth parents might be spending their time and effort raising an ingrate. Worse yet, Leia might actively harm them.

Queenie did not notice the tense undercurrents that flowed between the two young women.

She pulled Leia in front of Bianca and said lovingly, "Leia, Bea is a really talented woman. She's older than you, and you should greet her as your elder sister. Once the collaboration is confirmed, Ms. Rayne will come to our house often, and the two of you will meet each other more often. You need to be on good terms with Elder Sister, alright? I know that you're prejudiced against Bea because of Luke, but you can't force Luke to love you, and it's already in the past. One day you'll understand what I mean."

To Queenie, her adoptive daughter might have made a mistake, but that was maybe because she was impulsive. Queenie believed that Leia was still the kind and innocent girl that she knew.

However, her sentiments for Bianca were different. She felt joy, pity, excitement, and guilt, and she hoped that she could make up for lost time.

She genuinely loved both the girls, and she hoped that she could give her everything to the two.

Bianca would eventually return to the Norman household.

Currently, she hoped that she could bridge the relationship between her birth and adoptive daughters. She knew that Leia must be bearing a grudge against Bianca because of Luke, but she believed that Leia would eventually understand.

She hoped to see her two daughters live together harmoniously.

Leia was unhappy about that.

She did not show her true feelings on her face. Instead, she nodded. "Mm, I understand, Mom."

Queenie was happy that Leia showed some sense. She smiled at Bianca," I've pampered Leia too much, Bea. She might be capricious at times, and she might be candid in her words, but she's not a bad girl." "We'll see about that, Aunt Queenie," Bianca smiled ambiguously and said profoundly.

It seemed that Queenie, as intelligent and discerning as she was, had not seen through Leia's guise yet. It would be up to Bianca to tear away Leia's pretentious fagade.

Queenie glanced at her watch. "It's getting late, and I should prepare lunch for all of you. Let's go downstairs, Bea. Leia, bring Elder Sister for a stroll around the garden later."

She took Bianca's hand as though it was the most natural thing and went downstairs.

Other than Luke, no one had held her hand like that ever since she was a grown-up. Queenie was protecting her with her arm as though leading the way for a small child. Bianca felt warmth in her heart.

'Is this how a mother's love should feel?'

Bianca could feel tears welling up in her eyes.

Leia was extremely unhappy when she saw her mother holding Bianca's hand and ignoring herself.

Ever since she grew up, Queenie had rarely held her hand.

Overcome by jealousy, Leia deliberately twisted her ankle and fell down in front of Queenie. "Ow!" "What happened to you, Leia?" Queenie instantly let go of Bianca and rushed ahead to help Leia up.

Charmaine could not help but grin. 'Leia is such a schemer,' she thought.

Leia looked at Queenie with puppy eyes. "I was thinking of something earlier, and I didn't notice where I was going. I'm so silly."

Queenie propped Leia up and shook her head dearly when she saw that Leia had scraped her knee. "You're as clumsy as you were when you're a child. You always make me worry."

She crouched down and gently massaged Leia's bruise.

Leia shot a demonstrative gaze at Bianca, as though saying, "See, Mom still loves me. Don’t ever think of taking her away from me."

Bianca had the urge to laugh out loud when she saw how childish Leia was. She could not bear to hurt herself in an effort to one-up someone else.

Leia's fall was genuine. Her knee was swollen and red.

Moscow.

After dealing with Gordan's incident, Luke rejected Ray's offer to tour the city, reprimanded Gordan once more, and prepared to catch the return flight.

The drive to the airport from Ray's residence was more than three hours.

They had to pass through a steep and winding mountain range.

The off-road vehicle sped on the narrow asphalt road, passing by ancient trees that grew out of cracks on the mountain wall.

The branches were dense, and the canopy was like clouds that blocked the sky.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

"It's dangerous here, Mr. Crawford. We should speed up!" Mallory One, sitting next to Luke, could feel his body tense up.

Mallory One was one of Percy's elite bodyguards. Percy had loaned him to Luke on his trip to Russia.

His incisive intuition and experience told him that their surroundings were full of danger.

Luke nodded, and his expression became stern. "Yes, we should move faster and reach the airport as soon as possible."

He took out his phone and planned to give Bianca a call.

In the past two days, he was so busy that he barely had the time to sleep, let alone call or message her. If he did not call her, he would expect that she would be angry at him.

He dialed Bianca's number, but the call was rejected. novelbin

Luke smiled helplessly. She was angry.

He continued to call her number, but the call was declined every time. Eventually, the other party turned off her phone.

While Luke was dialing Jason’s number, a bullet pierced the car windshield and headed straight at his skull!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 648-What Should I Tell Bianca, Who Is About To Give Birth?

Queenie could see how anxious Bianca was. She glared at Leia accusingly, then handed her phone to Bianca. "You can use my phone for now, Bea." "Thank you, Aunt Queenie." Bianca took the phone and dialed Luke's number.

Luke's phone was turned off.

Bianca was incredibly anxious. Her breathing was shallow and labored.

She did not give up and kept on dialing Luke's number. However, the result disappointed her.

She tried dialing Sean's number but could not get through either. That made Bianca even more anxious.

Following that, she dialed Jason's number.

Jason picked up after a few seconds. "Yes, Ms. Rayne?"

Bianca spoke frantically, "Mr. Doyle, do you have any other way of contacting Luke? I can't reach him on his phone, and I don't know what's going on." "Don't worry, Ms. Rayne. I'll contact the staff in the Russian branch, and I'll give you a reply soon," Jason comforted her.

"Mm, please hurry! I broke my phone, and you can call me back on this number." "Yes, Madam."

Bianca remained uneasy after the call ended.

Queenie helped her sit on the couch and said to her gently, "Don't be too agitated, Bea. Luke will be fine. You have to take care of the baby in your womb."

Bianca sat down on the couch. She dug her fingers into her scalp and tried to calm herself down, but it was all of no use.

Meanwhile, Leia was still whispering to Charmaine, but she seemed visibly nervous, and she ate the chips at a slower pace.

She occasionally stole glances at Bianca, and her ears were pricked to eavesdrop on what Bianca said.

Even though Luke had been merciless to her, she felt uneasy whenever his name was mentioned.

About ten minutes later, Queenie's phone started ringing. It was only ten minutes, but Bianca thought that it had been a very long time.

She grabbed the phone and asked, "Do you have any news about Luke, Mr. Doyle?"

Jason was silent for a few seconds, and there was a gravity in his voice." Ms. Rayne, the staff there could not contact Mr. Crawford. There might be an accident. I'll have to fly to Moscow."

Bianca covered her mouth when she heard that Luke might be caught in an accident. She tried hard not to cry. "No, how can that happen to Luke? He promised me that he'd return safely!" "That's only a tentative guess, Ms. Rayne," Jason said sternly, "Don't worry, I'll book a flight to Moscow now. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news. Mr. Crawford told me that if he could not be contacted, I should calm you down and tell you that he will return to you no matter what."

Bianca's shoulders trembled after the phone call ended. She was enveloped in sadness. novelbin

Queenie gently hugged her. "Bea..."

Bianca could not hold it in anymore. She started sobbing. "Aunt Queenie..."

Tears welled up in Queenie's eyes when she saw how sad Bianca was.

She took a napkin and gently wiped Bianca's tears away. "Silly girl, don't be too sad before you find out the truth. You should control your emotions and wait for Luke's news. What if Luke comes back and you've fallen sick? That's not worth the trouble."

Bianca took a deep breath and came to her senses. Her eyes remained bloodshot, though she felt embarrassed because she had shown her ugly side to Queenie. She wiped her tears sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Aunt Queenie. I've made a fool of myself." "It's fine. Everyone has their moment of weakness. When I was your age, I didn't know how to control my emotions and cried a lot too," Queenie said with a smile.

Bianca felt better after Queenie continued to comfort her.

Aunt Queenie was right. Luke was temporarily out of reach, but that did not mean that something bad happened to him.

All she could do now was to wait patiently.

Queenie looked at Bianca's frail body and gently patted her shoulder while feeling sorry for her. She thought that she would invite Bianca over more often to make it up to her.

In the outskirts of Moscow.

It was five hours later when Gordan found out that Luke was shot.

When he arrived at the mountains, he could only find several charred bodies and blood everywhere.

Gordan saw Luke's off-road vehicle. Only a blackened husk remained.

Next to it was a smoking corpse of Luke's build. It was burned beyond recognition.

Gordan pounced onto the corpse in despair. "Luke!" He roared hoarsely.

He flipped the corpse over, and blisters instantly formed on his hands and arms because of the extreme heat. However, he stubbornly hugged the corpse in his arms. When he glanced at the corpse's face, he realized that it was someone he did not know!

He placed the charred corpse down, clenched his fists, and punched a tree trunk. "Who? Who the hell did this?"

The tree shook, and leaves fell while blood seeped out from his knuckles.

Vivian watched uneasily at Gordan's angry face. She did not want him to hurt himself, and so she walked up to him timidly, "Your... your hand is bleeding...” "Get lost! If not because of you, ugly woman, would my good friend come all the way to Moscow for negotiations? Would he have suffered such a mishap if not for you? You're a jinx and a walking disaster. You should have died instead!" Gordan's hands gripped Vivian's neck, lifted her up, and pinned her against the tree trunk, fully intending on killing her.

"Ugh..." Vivian struggled desperately, kicking aimlessly but futilely in the air.

Her plain and sickly face was turning red.

A burly bodyguard saw that Gordan was bullying Vivian. He grabbed Gordan's wrist, twisted it, then sent him flying with a roundhouse kick.

Gordan landed stomach-first on a pile of rocks nearby and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bodyguard walked toward Vivian and asked, "Mwcc, bbi b nopnflKe? ( Miss, are you okay?)"

However, Vivian slapped the bodyguard's face. "Kto 3acTaBnn Te6a 3acTp«Tb Ero, MepT no6epn!! (Who allowed you to hit him, d*mn it!)"

After Vivian scolded the bodyguard, she ran up to Gordan and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, Gordan. That wretch hit you too hard. I'll punish him when we get back. Shall we get going?"

Gordan shoved her away, stood up defiantly, and glanced at her coldly, then continued to search the area.

Luke was missing.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 649- I Don’t Believe That He’s Dead Until I See His Body

Bianca was knitting a sweater in the mansion. She had to keep busy to distract herself from worrying.

After waiting on tenterhooks for two days, she did not receive good news about Luke. Instead, Jason came to visit her at the house.

Behind him was an overly handsome man.

The two men dragged themselves into the living room with solemn expressions on their faces.

Bianca's already haggard eyes from not sleeping well became bloodshot when she saw Jason.

She put the knitting needles down and rushed up to Jason. She looked behind the men but did not see Luke.

Bianca grabbed Jason's elbow and asked him, "Where's Luke, Mr. Doyle?

Why isn't Luke with you?"

Jason's eyes were moist. He turned away and averted Bianca's gaze.

Behind him, Gordan fell on his knees with a plop.

"What are you doing?" Bianca was surprised by that man's sudden actions.

Gordan explained to Bianca, "I'm Gordan Norton, Sis. Luke ordered me to change my face not long ago." "So it's you,11 Bianca said.

Luke had told Bianca that Gordan went under plastic surgery again, changing his appearance back to the time before he was disfigured. Bianca had not seen that face before.

Her first impression was that Gordan was bewitchingly handsome.

However, she did not have the time to appreciate the face. "Luke went to Russia to save you. You came back, but where is he? What happened to him?" She asked anxiously.

Gordan covered his face in agony. ' I'm sorry, Sis..." He sounded very guilty.

"I don't want your apology. I want to know where Luke is!" Bianca yelled, unable to control her emotions.

Gordan's body was shaking. "Luke, he's... he's missing... his car was bombed, and most of the people who went along with him died. I didn't... find any survivors..."

Bianca was shocked when she heard the news. She instinctively took a step back.

Her frail body was almost going to pass out, but she continued asking, "Did you find Luke's body?" "No.” Jason's tone was also suffused with sorrow. "It was a big explosion that resulted in a fire. Every corpse was disfigured. We couldn't identify his corpse.”

He also could not believe that his boss would leave him like that.

His boss was a natural-born winner who had extraordinary intelligence and capabilities. He should be able to get out of any perilous situation, but how was he gone just like that?

He had to admit what he saw was true. His boss was gone.

"No! I don't believe that he's dead until I see his body!" Bianca sounded determined.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." She mumbled over and over again as though hypnotizing herself.

Looking at the extremely sad Bianca, Gordan covered his face. His shoulders were shaking, and his heart was wracked with guilt and regret.

Jason tried to compose himself and placed a charred ring in Bianca's hand. "Madam, we found this at the scene of the accident. You can verify if it belongs to him."

Bianca's face turned pale when she saw the ring.

She snatched the ring from Jason's hand.

The ring was already charred, and part of the exterior was already molten. She could vaguely see the diamond-encrusted pattern on it.

When she picked the ring for Luke, he complained that it looked too feminine.

Bianca loved the design. She explained to him that the floral patterns signified an eternal promise.

Her lips shuddered when she stared at the incomplete ring in her hand.

She touched the ring she wore on her right hand. Those two rings were supposed to be a pair.

Suddenly, Bianca's vision blurred.

She did not want to cry, but tears fell from her eyes anyway.

Luke was not here to wipe her tears. No one would take pity on her sorrow.

She lowered her head. Teardrops fell like a string of pearls from her eyes to her feet. novelbin

The temperature of her tears made her come to her senses.

It was then she realized that her slippers fell off when she rushed over earlier.

She felt the icy floor chill her to the bone.

If Luke saw it, he would have playfully scolded her, then carried her to the couch, massage her feet until warmth returned, and put on soft and comfy slippers for her.

Now, he was gone...

Bianca felt that her head was going to explode. She did not hear what Jason and Gordan were telling her.

She slowly shuffled to her bedroom without saying a word.

She felt so tired.

Suddenly, her vision went black, and her body went limp.

Her legs gave out, and her frail figure fell toward the floor.

Bianca passed out for a day and a night.

She had no appetite after she woke up. An intravenous drip sustained her.

Queenie rushed to the hospital after she received the news. Her words failed to comfort Bianca. Feeling sad for Bianca, Queenie could only wipe her own tears when no one was looking.

Sue and Nina took turns to visit Bianca at the hospital.

Everyone worried about Bianca, but she seemed to have lost the will to live.

Jason was worried that Bianca could not take it. He went to bring the twins to cheer Bianca up. Perhaps her children might reinvigorate her.

It was already sunset when Bianca woke up again.

She was woken up by a string of insults and children crying.

The room was dim. The light was not turned on.

When Bianca opened her eyes, she saw Allison angrily flip her blanket away.

Then, Allison pointed at her face and started yelling, "You seductress, you jinx! I should've known that you only bring bad luck to my son. Would my son meet with a mishap if not for you? Stop pretending and get up now!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 650- Bianca Was Hesitant To Say That Name

Seeing that Bianca was awake, Allison choked her neck with both of her hands and shook her. Her venomous gaze was like a knife that threatened to stab her.

Bianca was already weak. She instantly became dizzy after being shaken about.

Before she could see clearly what was in front of her eyes, she fell into unconsciousness once more.

She felt very tired. She wished that she could close her eyes forever.

In her dreams, she saw Luke once more.

The man's back was tall and straight like a pine tree. Her heart thumped faster at that sight.

She ran toward Luke and called out his name.

Luke turned around.

The man's tightly pressed lips smiled gently at the moment he saw her.

Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes. She dared not touch him, lest he disappeared like a reflection in the water.

Luke's gaze was loving and indulgent.

He slowly walked toward her, held her hands, and kissed them gently with his lips. "Can't you take care of yourself when I'm gone, silly girl?"

Bianca's eyes were blurry with tears.

She wanted to reach out and touch him, but before she could touch his fingers, he suddenly disappeared.

"Luke!"

Bianca woke up from her dreams and found that she was still in the hospital.

The dim light cast a shadow on Queenie that was slumped on the bed.

She did not bother wondering why Queenie was taking care of her in the hospital. Her mind was occupied by the thoughts of Luke.

It was all her dream. It was only a fantasy...

Bianca covered her mouth as she looked at the night sky and sobbed quietly.

'I hope that I can go back to the time before you left. If I had known that this was going to happen, I'd hug you with all my might and never let you leave.'

Large teardrops fell. Bianca was losing control of her emotions.

She tried to keep as quiet as possible, but Queenie, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up.

Queenie turned on the room lights. Everything in the room was basked in a warm yellow glow.

She saw Bianca's eyes that were filled with tears and hugged her. Her bloodshot eyes also began to moisten. "Trust me, Bianca. This will soon pass."

The warm light and Queenie's gentle voice brought Bianca to her senses.

"Why are you here, Aunt Queenie?" Bianca said hoarsely.

Queenie straightened Bianca's sweat-drenched hair and looked at her concernedly, "I happen to be free, and I heard that you're in the hospital, so I came to visit. Should I make something for you to eat?"

The VIP hospital ward had an attached kitchen.

There were all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and seasonings in the fridge. They were suitable for a recuperating patient.

Bianca shook her head and said weakly, "I'm not hungry, and I don't feel like eating anything. There are nurses to take care of me in the hospital, Aunt Queenie. You should go home in case Mr. Norman worries about you. I'm fine, but you should take care of yourself; you just got discharged not too long ago." "Good girl. Your Aunt Queenie is well and healthy. I’ll go and make some egg drop soup for you, at least eat something. I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow," Queenie patted Bianca's head and gave her some more advice before heading to the kitchen.

Bianca watched as Queenie made herself busy in the kitchen. She felt a twinge in her nose when Queenie patted her head.

Her gaze fell on the bed next to hers. The twins were sleeping soundly there.

The brother hugged the sister, and their faces were almost touching. Occasionally, they would blow a bubble from their pink and tender lips.

It was a warm and touching scene, but Bianca clutched her chest in agony.

The man had abandoned his wife and children. What should she do?

Fifteen minutes later, Queenie returned from the kitchen with a steaming hot bowl of egg drop soup in her hands.

She sat down on the bed, ladled a spoonful of soup, and gently blew on it.

She brought the spoon close to Bianca's lips when the soup cooled. "Have some soup, Bea."

Bianca had no appetite. She gently pushed Queenie's hand away. "I really can't eat, Aunt Queenie..."

Queenie looked at Bianca's vacant expression. She put the bowl and spoon down and said softly, "Bea, Luke is no more. Are you planning to go after him? Look at you now. You're not strong at all. Is that how a mother should behave? Have you spared a thought for the twins and the baby in your womb? Wouldn't you want to ensure that Luke's legacy lives on?"

Bianca glanced dejectedly at Lanie and Rainie. She placed her hand on her stomach and said nothing. novelbin

'No, that's not the case.'

If not for the twins and the baby, she might have considered ending her life.

Queenie sighed and tried to persuade her, "Remember, you're living not only for yourself. You have responsibilities too. You have to take care of your elderly grandfather and your aunt, who is sick. You have two young children, and there's the baby still in your womb. Have you thought of what would happen to them if you decide to end your life? Don't you know how agonizing it is to bury your child? Can you imagine your twins being bullied because they're orphans?" 1 "Aunt Queenie..." Bianca interjected. She was sobbing. "Please, don't say any more."

She knew that her grandfather and aunt would be extremely sad if she decided to end her life. She also knew the experience of being bullied and mocked as a helpless orphan.

How could she bear to see her children suffer the same fate?

The children had lost their father. She would not allow them to lose their mother too.

Seeing that Bianca was convinced, Queenie once again picked up the bowl of soup and brought a spoonful next to her mouth. "Then you should eat. Your health should be your topmost priority so that you can deliver the baby safely."

Bianca opened her mouth like a puppet and forced the spoonful of soup down her throat. Suddenly, she remembered vaguely hearing Allison's insults before she passed out. She asked softly, "Aunt Queenie, did my... my mother-in-law come to visit me?"

Bianca was hesitant to say the words "mother-in-law." Queenie could tell that Allison did not have a good relationship with Bianca.
