Ch. 681..690

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 681- Putting Up An Act? Heh.

Leia's words were as shocking as a sudden clap of thunder next to Bianca's ears!

She rushed upto Leia, grabbed her collar, and asked her sternly, "What did you say? Tell me, how did Luke die? Tell me now!"

Leia sobered up a little and realized what she had just said. Trying to compose herself, she smiled mockingly at Bianca. "Why do I have to tell you? I'm not telling you. What are you going to do, kill me?"

Leia had been jealous and resentful toward the Norman family's long-lost birth daughter.

If not for Bianca, Leia would still be the only pampered daughter of the Norman family!

With her status, marrying Luke Crawford was all but a certainty!

That woman had taken away her parent's love for her and the man that she loved.

She did not expect that Luke died in a foreign country, and his remains could not be found. He deserved that!

Leia glared contemptuously at Bianca. She reached out and tried to claw at Bianca's delicate face with her sharp nails. "Let go of me, you jinx. Keep your dirty hands away from me!"

From Leia's abnormal reaction, Bianca could tell that she knew something.

Bianca's expression turned cold as Leia's hand clawed toward her. She grabbed Leia's wrist, twisted it with a crack, and dislocated her elbow.

Bianca had picked up judo and taekwondo to protect herself from Vincent's harassment.

She might be at a disadvantage when fighting against men, but it was more than enough to subdue a defenseless young woman like Leia.

Ahh!" Leia cried out in pain.

Instantly, Bianca covered her mouth. Leia found it hard to even gasp for air.

"Nggh... Mom... help..." The pain on Leia's elbow was agonizing, and she could not cry out loud.

She glared hatefully at Bianca and tried to claw her face again with her other hand.

Bianca tugged Leia's hair with her other hand and kicked the back of her knee, which caused her to fall down kneeling.

"What's wrong, Bianca and Leia? What are you doing?" Queenie rushed into the living room when she heard the commotion.

In her hands were several toddler clothes that she had personally sewn for Tommy.

Bianca's expression turned gentle once she saw Leia. She stood in front of Leia and snapped her elbow back in place.

Then, she crouched down and gently massaged Leia's bruised knee. "Are you alright, Younger Sister? How could you be so careless while walking? I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly."

Leia shoved Bianca away and started cursing, "Stop pretending! You two- faced bit..."

She instantly shut her mouth when she saw that Queenie was looking at them. Instantly, tears started to fall. "Mom! Bianca bullied me. She dislocated my elbow earlier. It hurts! You'll have to stand up for me, Mom. I know that you and Dad are trying to make it up to her, and that's why I've been trying to

accommodate her presence too. Even so, it seems that she doesn't want me to be here. Am I still your daughter, Mom?" 'Putting up an act?

'Heh.

'Does Leia think that she's the only one who knows how to put up an act?'

Bianca laughed up her sleeve. She flashed her most innocent and harmless smile.

She wagged Leia’s arms to show her mother that they were fine. Then, she stared innocently at her mother, "Look, Mom, Leia's arms are perfectly fine. I don't know what she's talking about. I've never argued or fought with Leia, and she'd usually give me the extra things she doesn't want or doesn't like. I think that we can get along well. It's just that I'll have to put up with her impulsive behavior sometimes because I'm her elder sister. Also, Mom, it seems that Leia has a daring boyfriend. Look at her neck..."

When Queenie's eyes fell on that deep red mark on Leia's fair neck, cracks seemed to appear on her gentle face.

Bianca might sound like she had a good relationship with Leia, but every sentence implied that Leia was being unreasonable. Leia wanted to rip her mouth apart.

She wondered when Bianca had been such a good actor.

She was about to retort, but she noticed that Queenie was staring at her elbow and that patch on her neck. She quickly covered her neck with her hands.

At the same time, she was thinking of how to get back at Bianca for slandering her.

''Mom, it's not... I... I..."

Queenie gave Leia a look of disappointment and chided her sternly. "Leia, I've told you that you two girls should be nice to each other. It took your elder sister a lot to return to the family, and I owe her too much. Now that your elder sister is about to leave for a foreign country, you should be nicer to her. Also, I've told you before that a woman should have some self- respect. Did you forget what I told you?"

She thought that her two daughters had been cordial toward each other, but it seemed that it was all a sham. novelbin

Queenie could not understand. Why would the usually sensible and docile Leia become like that?

Leia pouted, glared resentfully at Bianca, and said nothing.

Bianca looked at Leia, who seemed to be still under the influence. She remembered what Leia said when she stepped into the house earlier.

She narrowed her gaze and thought of an idea...

On the Island of Despair in the Pacific Ocean.

Luke sat on a wave-battered reef, looking at the blood-red sunset on the horizon.

His body was bathed in the lingering sunrays, and his hair was slightly messy from the sea breeze.

He sat there, unmoving, like a perfect stone statue.

No one knew what he was thinking.

His body emanated warmth, but his demeanor was ice-cold.

"Mr. Crawford." A thin and young man with a deep scar on his face hesitated before speaking. 1

Luke did not look at him, nor did he respond. He continued to fix his eyes on the sunset.

After the last ray of light vanished beyond the horizon, he opened his mouth. "Speak." 1

The scar-faced man lowered his head and said, "The preparations are done. Should we move tomorrow?"

Luke thought for a second and answered, "No. We move tonight." "Tonight? Isn't that too rushed? We've planned for tomorrow..." "Tonight!" There was no hesitation in Luke's reply.

He had wasted two years in this hellish prison. He did not wish to stay there any longer.

All he wanted was to meet the woman of his dreams once more.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 682-What A Scary Man!

Luke had always loved sunsets.

Before he took over T Corporation, he traveled the world in search of the most breathtaking sunsets.

He had been to the summit of Mount Everest, the vast grasslands of Hulun Buir, and on top of the golden dunes of the Taklamakan Desert.

He loved watching the sunset because the dawn that followed signified a new hope.

The sunset on the island was not as beautiful as those other places.

In fact, by viewing it with a despondent mood, the sunset there was suffused with the solemnity of death.

While Luke was lost in thought while viewing the sunset, Kassy appeared behind him.

She looked into Luke's forlorn gray-brown eyes transfixed at the roiling waves and the setting sun.

"You’re sitting here again." Kassy walked up to him and draped a jacket over Luke's body.

Luke did not look at her. His gaze was clear and gentle with a hint of anger.

Kassy did not care that he was cold toward her.

In the two years they had interacted, Kassy had a rudimentary understanding of the man's character.

"You've just recovered, and you should rest in your room. When I glanced out, I noticed that you're sitting by the sea again. It's not winter now, but the sea breeze is quite cold. You should go back," Kassy spoke to him patiently while reaching out to hold his arm.

A hint of disgust quickly appeared in Luke's eyes.

He hated women touching him, other than Bianca.

"Let go." Luke waved his arm and shoved Kassy aside.

Kassy was not bothered. She puffed up her chest and leaned against Luke." Don't be so heartless, Matthew. I've saved your life, and I'm your fiancee. Arent you the least bit moved in the two years since you met me?" 1

Luke's handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost.

He stood up from the reef and turned away from her. "I'll go back now. I still have some work that Godfather tasked me with."

Kessy felt resentful as she watched Luke leave. He was so unapproachable, but she liked men like that.

So many Russian men tried to court her, but she did not fancy any of them.

Now that she had found a man who won her heart, he avoided her whenever he could, even though she had tried to get close to him with various excuses.

In two years, she never managed to get close to him, whether physically or emotionally.

She had tried to seduce him, even with the use of drugs. The man was never interested in her, and he would rather take cold showers than touch her. That had disappointed Kassy.

His stepfather even scolded her that she was useless. 1

She did not believe that the man did not have any primal instincts. It was only a matter of time before he fell for her!

Late at night, all was quiet.

Luke stepped into his dark and cold room. He was about to remove his clothes to take a shower.

There would be a major operation later in the night, and he was not sure if he would survive it.

He would clean himself in preparation for the battle later.

He was used to the dark, and that was why he did not turn the light on.

About ten minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white towel. He was drying his hair with another towel.

There was a faint fragrance of shower cream in the air.

He could also detect a stronger fragrance. It smelled like rosemary.

He stealthily walked toward his bed, retrieved the silenced pistol from under his pillow, and grabbed the person hiding in the closet.

The barrel of the gun pointed at that person’s head.

"It's me, Matthew! Let me go. You're breaking my arm..." Kassy cried out.

She did not expect that the man was so alert and moved so swiftly.

Luke let go of her without showing any emotion. "Why are you hiding in my closet?"

What a vexing woman!

He looked at Kassy, who was only wrapped in a towel, with disgust, wondering how that woman bypassed all the high-tech security systems to enter his room. He had changed the set of locks to

prevent her from breaking in.

Kassy looked at her bruised arm and her wrist which was almost broken. "I miss you, and I thought I'd give you a surprise, but you..." she complained. novelbin

She wanted to make out with him tonight, but the man had been violent to her.

She thought that Luke had blended into the night, and his existence was like a phantom.

Luke glared at that woman with his eyes that were as dark as the night.

He turned on a table lamp, and the room was filled with a dim yellow light.

Under the light, the man's muscular body only wrapped in a towel seemed extremely seductive. Kassy's heart started to thump harder and faster.

Her soft and nimble body clung onto Luke's body, and her tentacle-like arms wrapped around his waist.

She was quite agile, which was why she was able to cling to him.

Luke was instantly overcome by rage. Was that shameless woman a devil, purposely sent to torment him?" "Get lost!’ Luke roared angrily and tried to fling her away.

"No, I must make out with you tonight." Kassy hugged him even more tightly and sniffed his masculine scent obsessively.

"Don't make me!" Luke shut his eyes tightly.

Everyone on the island knew that Luke hated women touching him, but Kassy had challenged his patience again and again.

He would have offed her if not that she had saved his life.

"Don't be like that, my dear Matthew. Can't you feel my passionate love for you?" Kassy clung even more tightly to him. Her hands tried to undo his towel so that she could appreciate his naked body.

Luke's face was fraught with killing intent.

He could not take it anymore. With a karate chop on the back of Kassy's neck, he knocked her out and tossed her on the bed.

On any other day, he would not have let the woman's scent linger on his bed.

However, he would not be sleeping on that bed anymore. Tonight, he would leave the island!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 683-Everything Went As Planned

Late at night.

Leia was curled up on her bed, unable to fall asleep. The only thing in her mind was the torment that Wayne had inflicted on her.

She would shudder involuntarily every time she thought of what the man did to her.

She stretched herself out and stared wide-eyed at the ceiling above her.

She did not feel like sleeping at all.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance filled her room.

Her eyelids began to droop when she caught a whiff of the fragrance.

When she could not open her eyes anymore, right at the moment she fell asleep, the fragrance suddenly became a horrible stink, and the air was filled with the thick stench of blood.

Thud, thud, thud...

A heavy set of footsteps trudged closer to Leia's room. She could also hear a child wailing faintly in the distance, as well as the chilling laughter of men and women.

Goosebumps rose on Leia's skin. She abruptly opened her eyes.

With shaking hands, she tried to turn on the night light. However, the light did not turn on.

'... Am I haunted?'

Leia remembered starring in a haunted movie. What she was experiencing now was exactly as in the movie.

However, at the movie shoot, the production crew was around her, and she was not afraid.

In real life, she was all alone in the dark, and she did not expect the experience to be so unnerving.

Leia frantically got up from the bed. She wanted to rush out of the door and call for her parents and Ms. Lang.

She failed to control her limbs.

After all that she had done, she thought that karma had finally caught up to her.

She managed to stumble out of bed and toward the door. The most curious thing was that the door would not open no matter how hard she twisted the knob.

Leia tried to turn on the chandelier on the ceiling, but it remained switched off. Perhaps the switch or the light was broken.

Her panic grew by the moment.

Leia banged on the room door. The eerie laughter rang in her ears.

Her vision began to turn blood red. novelbin

Somehow, the room window opened. It was all dark outside, and the living room light that was always switched on was currently flickering erratically, as though something was controlling the light.

"Dad? Mom? Help me! Open the door!" Leia banged at the door with her hands and feet.

She began to imagine the gruesome fate ahead of her. As her body trembled, her face was contorted out of fright, looking especially vicious in the dark night.

Curiously, her parents were light sleepers, and the commotion should have woken them by now.

She screamed herself hoarse, but they did not seem to come. That made Leia even more afraid than ever.

"Help!"

The door suddenly creaked open. A tall but well-built figure hovered in the air. The grinding sounds it made were like the sound of chewing bones.

As Leia looked toward the figure in the flickering light, she realized that the face of that figure belonged to Luke Crawford.

His face was stained in blood. With his ice-cold hands, he choked Leia's neck and spoke with a bloodcurdling voice, "You! I died because of you! I'm here to claim your life!" "Ahh! No! It's not me... it's not me... you should go and haunt the person who killed you. I didn't cause your death..." Leia's eyes nearly glazed over as she tried to struggle to breathe.

"Who! Who was the one who killed me?" The eerie voice chilled Leia to the bone.

"It's... it's not me, Luke. I was heartbroken when... I found out that you died... it's... it's Wayne Blatt, that freak... he was the one who killed you! You should look for him! Don't... don't kill me..." Leia's cries for mercy echoed in the otherwise silent room.

Leia's face was covered in snot and tears. It was a pitiful sight.

Suddenly, the lights in the room turned on.

Bianca's fair face appeared in front of Leia.

She was dressed in a man's suit and leather shoes. Her long hair was replaced by a wig of short hair.

She was staring mockingly at Leia.

The horrifying "blood" that covered half of her face was ketchup.

Bianca had planned all that to get the truth from her.

First, she unscrewed the lightbulbs in Leia's room and played scary music to create the atmosphere.

Then, she obtained two doses of sleeping pills from Johann. They were harmless to the human body, but they could induce deep sleep. She secretly put it in their food during dinner so that they could not hear Leia's cries for help. 1

She even gave Ms. Lang a day off so that no one would interrupt her.

Finally, she dressed up in Luke's clothes to scare Leia.

The results were just as expected. She found out Luke's killer.

Leia was furious after finding out that it was a ploy by Bianca.

Without hesitation, she lifted her hand and prepared to slap Bianca. "It's you, you despicable b*tch! I was wondering why my house would be haunted!"

Bianca grabbed onto her wrist firmly. Her beautiful face was especially cold under the lamplight. "What is your relationship with Wayne Blatt? Why did he kill Luke? Is it because of you?"

She knew that Leia would never forget a grudge.

After Luke set her up for failure in that ambiguous relationship, she would have tried to take revenge on him. It was expected for Bianca to suspect Leia had a hand in Luke's disappearance.

Leia thought that her wrist was about to break.

She could not understand how the seemingly frail Bianca was so strong.

Seeing that Leia was glaring at her with a murderous gaze without saying a word, Bianca said icily, "You'd better spit out the truth. Otherwise, I don't mind dislocating your elbow again! Don't even think of hoping that Dad and Mom will come and save you. They're fast asleep now, and they won't be able to hear you. Ms. Lang will only come back the day after tomorrow."

Leia felt a chill up her spine when Bianca threatened to dislocate her elbow again.

She knew that the woman was perfectly able to carry out her threat.

She chuckled jealously and said, ‘I've told you that the person who killed Luke is Wayne Blatt. He was the one who delivered a bullet into Luke's skull. Luke's head exploded on the spot, and his brain matter splattered everywhere! How miserable! Go and take revenge on Wayne if you can!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 684- Luke Suddenly Grabbed Her by the Throat

Leia had always felt hatred and disgust for Wayne.

The man had ravaged her for two years. It was like a nightmare. Leia was more than willing to tell Bianca the truth if she would help her get rid of that man.

Even though Luke was killed a long time ago, Bianca could not maintain her composure when she heard It from Leia's mouth.

She grabbed Leia's collar tightly and asked viciously, "Why did Wayne Blatt kill Luke? Is it because of you?"

Leia was gloating when she saw the crazed glint in Bianca's eyes. "How would I know why? I'm not that freak. All I know is that I'm so happy seeing how helpless and agonized you are. Karma sure hits you hard..."

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a flash of light. It was the light reflected from the dressing mirror. She turned to look at the reflection of the two women.

Leia and Bianca both had delicate facial features. Their looks were similar.

However, Bianca's features were more pronounced. Her face was the textbook definition of "beauty."

Even though she had disguised herself as a man, she looked quite attractive. That made Leia jealous.

"So what if you're Mom's birth daughter or Luke's wife? Mom is much closer to me than you, and Luke has died. It must be such a bother to raise those three kids yourself, right? Heh, that's for trying to snatch my man and my parents away from me!"

Bianca stopped herself from slapping Leia. "I don't want to hear any of your nonsense, Leia. If I find out that Luke's disappearance is related to you, you'll regret the day you were born! Also, if you tell Dad and Mom anything about what happened tonight, you can say goodbye to this house!"

She flung Leia away, turned around, and trudged back to her room.

She believed in what Leia told her, but she refused to believe that Luke was dead.

No matter what, she had to go to Moscow.

Meanwhile, on the Island of Despair.

The waning moon hung in the sky alone, casting a cold light onto the eerie island.

The night was much darker than usual.

A brisk wind blew past the island, and big waves crashed uneasily on the coastline.

Luke stood on the reef. His tall body blended with the night.

He looked up at the dark, starless sky. It was the calm before the storm.

He had planned for a very long time to escape from the Island of Despair.

The desire to leave grew in his mind like weeds, threatening to swallow him up.

Everything went according to plan, for now.

If the plan succeeded, he would be able to leave this nightmare behind him and return to his normal life.

Somehow, he had an ominous feeling.

He furrowed his brows. No matter what, he had to escape tonight.

He glanced at his watch. It was almost two o'clock. That was the time when the guards changed shifts.

'It's time!'

It was an intense battle.

Luke and a dozen of his followers broke through the lines of defense. All of them were imprisoned long- term on the island and treated worse than animals. They had wanted to escape for a long time!

Luke had managed to convince them that they would regain their freedom once they escaped, even though the chances of success were remote.

They were also impressed by Luke's character and swore to fight with him.

Blood was splattered everywhere.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions rocked the island, and the fire turned the night into day.

Eventually, only Luke and three of his followers remained: Gale, Rain, and Thunder. They all bore serious injuries.

Luke's left arm had been hit by a bullet, but he did not have the time to tend to it.

After hastily bandaging it, he continued to rush toward the destination.

When the four people arrived at the secret underground hangar, they were shocked to see countless mercenaries in military fatigues aiming their heavy machine guns at them.

Then, they noticed Lightning, one of their own, sprawled on the floor and cowering under Madame Rose's foot, and they realized that they were betrayed!

The other three men glared at Lightning, wishing to kill him with their gaze.

A woman dressed in luxurious clothing with a rose tattoo on her forehead sat lazily on a chaise longue and looked contemptuously at Luke and his followers. Her name was Madame Rose.

She looked to be younger than forty years old.

Everyone addressed her as Madame Rose because she loved roses.

She had absolute control of the island, including whether its prisoners lived or died. She was beautiful and charming, but she had a depraved character.

She was the one who devised all the inhuman punishments and tortures on the island.

Everyone hated her, but they were also afraid of her.

Next to her was Kassy, whom Luke had knocked out earlier.

She glared at Luke with agony and resentment in her eyes, as though she was hurt by his betrayal!

"Tonight has been interesting. I enjoyed the entertainment." Madame Rose was smiling, but her gaze was cold and sinister. "Is this the man you love, Kassy?"

Kassy bit her lip and answered weakly, "Yes..." "Useless! You can't subdue him after two years!"

Madame Rose grunted unhappily, slowly rose from the chaise longue, and gave her command. "Capture these people. I want to chop their heads off myself and hang them on the flagpole for a month! I want everyone on the island to know the consequences of opposing Madame Rose!"

Suddenly, Luke took off his windbreaker. There was a bundle of explosives tied around his waist.

"Get your men to stand down!” He ordered Madame Rose coldly.

That was the latest innovation of Country M. That amount was enough to destroy half of the island.

Madame Rose's mercenaries frantically took several steps back when they saw that.

However, Madame Rose was not intimidated. She brazenly walked up to Luke and chided, "Oh? Do you plan to die with me? You're way too young, boy..."

Just when she finished the sentence, Luke suddenly grabbed her by the throat, took out a pistol, and aimed it at her temple...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 685-That Must Be True Love

Madame Rose was not intimidated by Luke because she thought that she had the advantage in numbers.

She did not expect that Luke would be brazen enough to take her as a hostage.

"Let go of him, Matthew! Otherwise, none of you will survive!" Kassy pointed her gun at Luke's head.

Her hand was shaking. Evidently, she was conflicted.

She knew of Madame Rose's cruelty better than anyone else. Luke and his followers might be formidable, but they were already seriously injured, and they were not going to be able to successfully escape the heavily-defended island.

"If I'm not going to survive this, I don't mind taking all of you down with me! " Luke said coldly.

"Heh, you ignorant brat, you won't leave here alive even if you kill me," Madame Rose said brazenly.

"If that's the case, all of you can die!" Luke smirked coldly and tightened his vice-like grip on Madame Rose's neck. Her eyes were beginning to glaze over.

Madame Rose coughed, and her face turned red.

Even so, she yelled at Kassy, "Kassy, kill... kill that b*stard... quick..."

Luke bashed Madame Rose's face in with the butt of his pistol.

Several teeth fell out of Madame Rose's mouth. Blood flowed freely, and she gasped in pain.

That angered her even more. "Quick, Kassy, kill... kill him..."

Luke placed Madame Rose in front of his body. He was using her as his meat shield.

If the mercenaries opened fire, Madame Rose would be riddled with bullet holes.

Kassy aimed her gun at Luke and hesitated.

She hated Luke for his betrayal, but at the same time, she did not want to hurt him.

The mercenaries dared not act rashly and waited for Kassy's command.

Luke aimed his pistol firmly on Madame Rose's temple and commanded her, "Tell your people to back off, Madame Rose!"

He knew Madame Rose's personality very well. She might have caused the deaths of so many people on the island, but she was afraid of dying.

Madame Rose gritted her teeth, waved at her mercenaries, and wheezed through her missing front teeth, "Efferyone, shtand back... and let them go..."

The mercenaries who surrounded them took several steps back and opened up a path for them.

Luke brought Madame Rose to the middle of the hangar.

A helicopter was parked there.

"Get on," Luke signaled to Gale and the others.

The three people got into the helicopter in a single file.

Gale went into the cockpit while Rain and Thunder guarded the entrance with assault rifles, aiming them at the mercenaries.

"Get on the helicopter, Boss!" Thunder shouted at Luke.

Every second they stayed on the island decreased their chances of success. No one knew what would happen in the next moment.

Moreover, they had a traitor among them. novelbin

Luke tugged Madame Rose and took step by step up the helicopter.

Just as they were about to succeed, Madame Rose suddenly struggled violently and fired a razor-thin silver thread from the sapphire ring on her finger toward Luke's eye.

Luke was caught by surprise. He dodged the thread in the nick of time, aimed his pistol at Madame Rose's ear, and fired a shot.

Madame Rose yelped in agony. Her ear was sliced off, and blood flowed freely. She was about to pass out from the pain.

She roared at her mercenaries, "Kill this ingrate! Kill them all..."

Luke's gaze turned cold. He quickly got into the helicopter, blew Madame Rose's brains out with a bullet, and kicked her out of the helicopter before her eyes were closed.

"Let's go!" Luke had gotten into the cabin when he saw a grenade flying toward him.

"Leave without me, Boss!" Thunder pounced toward the grenade and absorbed the impact with his body. Instantly, he was blown into pieces.

"Thunder!" Luke's mind instantly went blank. However, it was not the time to mourn. He quickly closed the door and ordered, "Let's go!"

The helicopter rose into the air.

Countless bullets fired toward the helicopter, but it was already too late.

Kassy's gaze turned cold as she watched the helicopter disappear into the night sky.

'Heh, do you think you can run away, Matthew?'

The Norman residence.

Bianca was about to leave for Moscow.

That morning, Queenie prepared all of Bianca's favorite dishes for breakfast.

Bianca had not rested well for the past few days because she was gathering information on Wayne Blatt. The results were disappointing. The man was too mysterious, and she could not find anything on him. That made her very frustrated.

Bianca got up very early and saw her mother working busily in the kitchen while her father washed the vegetables at the sink. They were a loving couple.

She envied her parents. They had been through so much over the years, but they were loving toward each other like newlyweds.

The stern and influential politician in public was so pliant and docile in front of his wife, willing to listen to whatever she said.

They had been married for more than twenty years, but Queenie looked young. When Bianca and Queenie stood together, they were often mistaken for sisters.

Bianca knew that her mother enjoyed a blissful marriage. Jack Norman pampered her and never let her down.

She envied that marriage, and she wished that her marriage would be like that too.

Unfortunately for her, she did not even know the whereabouts of her husband.

In the kitchen.

Jack tasted the soup and frowned. "I think it's a little too light. I wonder if our daughter would like it."

Queenie tasted the soup too. Then, she smiled at her husband. "It's your first time making soup for our daughter. No matter the taste, Bianca would appreciate what you've done for her. She's a sensible and empathic girl."

Jack grinned sheepishly. "Mm. I never knew that it's so difficult to cook. You should teach me how to cook sometime so that I can cook for you after I retire."

Queenie rolled her eyes at Jack. "Don't worry about it. I’d rather not get poisoned!"

Bianca felt envious when she saw that exchange. Perhaps that was what true love looked like.

She was about to step into the kitchen when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest that made her double over...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 686-He’s A Tenacious One

Bianca clutched her chest, feeling as though it had been sliced apart by a poisoned knife. She was about to pass out from the pain.

She felt a slight relief from the pain in her chest after a few minutes.

'What's going on?'

She was confused, but soon she remembered that she felt a similar pain on the day she found out that Luke went missing.

She could not linger on that moment for long. When Jack and Queenie noticed that Bianca was there, they beckoned lovingly at her and got her to taste the dishes.

"I made some soup for you, Bea. Your mom said that you like light foods, so I didn't put much salt in the soup. Have a taste. What do you think?" Jack said kindly and ladled a small bowl of soup for Bianca.

Bianca took a sip.

"How is it?" Jack looked at her daughter expectantly.

Bianca finished the bowl of soup and said gratefully, "The soup tastes good, Dad. I love it."

Being able to eat Mom's cooking and Dad's soup made her feel blissful.

She began to feel guilty about how she was always busy with work and never got the chance to spend time with them.

Looking at her parents' graying hair, she promised herself that she would spend more time with her parents once she returned with Luke.

A helicopter flew above the Pacific Ocean.

It flew in a straight line for about half an hour. When it was about to leave the range of influence of the Island of Despair, the people suddenly heard a beep, signifying the start of an announcement.

Soon, the passengers heard a sweet female voice. "Anomaly detected. The flight will now turn around."

Once the announcement ended, the helicopter suddenly turned 180 degrees and retraced its path back to the island.

"Boss, all the controls have stopped working. Damn it! Someone must have overridden the controls." Gale, the pilot, was shocked. He pressed on all the buttons, but none of them worked.

He punched the control panel angrily, and his face was ashen with anger.

They were so close to escaping. He did not want to return to that living hell.

Gale turned his head toward Luke, but at the moment he saw the man, he instantly shut up!

The man was standing straight in the cockpit. Despite his bloodied body, his presence remained domineering and composed, as though he had everything under control.

He remained calm in the face of unknown dangers.

His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and he gave off the bearing of a natural-born leader.

Gale somehow felt a little calmer when he saw Luke. "What should we do now, Boss?" "Let me take over!" Luke shoved Gale aside and sat on the pilot's seat.

Gale did not know what the man did. He only saw Luke's slender fingers dancing on the different buttons on the control panel and pushed a few levers before he wrested control of the helicopter again.

"You're too cool, Boss!" Gale and Rain were in complete admiration of their leader.

However, Luke raised his hand and furrowed his brows. "Our plan has been exposed. Knowing Robert, he wouldn't spare any survivors. If my guess is correct, he'd blow up this helicopter if he doesn't see it return. Find the parachutes and prepare to jump!"

Indeed, after he finished speaking, they heard a soft ticking in the cabin.

Knowing what the ticking sound meant, everyone was shocked. It was the sound of explosives ticking down.

Gale and Rain shuddered when they thought of Robert's cruelty.

They tried to search for the explosives, but they found that every corner of the helicopter was packed with them.

It would take at least half an hour to disarm everything, but the explosives were due to explode in five minutes!

Following that, Gale and Rain searched everywhere for parachutes but could not find any!

"Boss, we searched the entire cabin, but we didn't find any parachutes. We won't have enough time to disarm all the explosives either..." Gale and Rain were drenched in a cold sweat. Their composure was nowhere to be seen.

Luke remained calm, and he said sternly, "We are at an altitude of thirteen thousand feet, and the helicopter is three minutes and forty-two seconds away from exploding. If I can lower the altitude to between eight hundred and one thousand feet, we should be able to jump from the helicopter without dying. When I give the signal later, we'll jump out of the helicopter at the same time. Understood?" "Understood!" Gale and Rain answered in unison.

They trusted in Luke's piloting skills. novelbin

Luke pushed the speed of the helicopter to its limit, and it charged toward the ocean like a diving falcon.

Just when it was about to hit the surface of the ocean, he roared, "Jump!"

The three people hugged each other tightly, kicked open the door, and jumped together!

At that moment, the helicopter suddenly exploded with a deafening boom.

The ball of fire expanded rapidly and sent shrapnel flying in all directions!

On the Island of Despair, Kassy clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she watched the drone feed of the helicopter exploding.

Her beautiful eyes glinted with viciousness.

That man would rather jump into the sea than return to her!

She started a video call with Robert. "You promised that you'd let Matthew go, Godfather. Why did you go back on your word?"

Robert's expression was ice-cold. Kassy could even feel the drop in temperature even though she was only looking at him on her phone screen. "You idiot! If you can't handle one man after so long, what use do I have for you? Matthew has destroyed my secret base and incited a rebellion. I would have killed him a long time ago if not for that he is useful to me.

Now that the man has betrayed me, he'll have to die. Also, Kassy, you're an adult now, and I don't need any useless people by my side. You will attend to Cole, the arms dealer from Country M tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll cripple you!"

Kassy's face turned pale instantly. Her godfather wanted her to attend to that sadistic pervert!

The video call ended before she could say anything.

Angrily, Kassy threw her phone on the ground, which broke in half.

She gave her orders to two men in black suits. "Go and search for the helicopter wreckage. I don't believe that Matthew is dead. He's a tenacious one, and he won't die that easily. Report immediately if you find anything!" "Yes, Ms. Kassy," the men in black replied in the affirmative and went off to carry out their task.

After the men left, Kassy's gaze turned cold again, and she laughed brazenly.

'He can't hide from me. I'll find him as long as he lives!'

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 687- This Brat Is Indeed Luke Crawford's Child

The Mallory residence.

Percy sat by the dining table. He was young and handsome, and his beauty was breathtaking.

He watched Bianca as she quietly fed Tommy.

Bianca was dressed in a black suit, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. Her face was clean and pure.

Percy thought that the woman had become more feminine, perhaps because she had an extra motherly charm on her.

He could not resist staring at her.

Percy was the one to break the silence. "Ms. Rayne, there are two reasons for inviting you to my house. The first is to send you off, and the second is to give you several pointers about Russia. I'm sorry about what happened to Luke. I didn't expect that to happen. 1 "I found out that Luke's accident was related to the Russian mafia, but the exact reason remains unknown. This will be a risky trip. I'll assign some more bodyguards to protect you."

While Bianca fed Tommy a bottle of milk, she said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Mallory. You don’t have to apologize to me about Luke. Instead, I should be the one to apologize because you lost two of your best men in that accident. Also, I won't forget the help you've extended to T Corporation, and HI repay this debt of gratitude when I have the chance." "Mommy, I don't want milk..." Tommy suddenly pouted and said adorably.

"Be a good boy and drink more milk so that you can grow big and strong," Bianca tried to coax him patiently.

"No... no! I want chicken nuggets!" Tommy pouted. His face was full of reluctance.

The little boy had stumpy fingers and did not know how to use a fork. Bianca had always been feeding him.

He shook his head like a rattle when he saw his mother pick up food that he disliked.

Percy shot an icy glance at Tommy and spoke to Bianca, "You should eat some yourself too. You need to catch a flight in the afternoon." "I'm not hungry." As soon as Bianca finished speaking, her stomach began to growl loudly.

Bianca blushed instantly. "HI feed Tommy first before eating."

She was frustrated that Tommy was a picky eater. His elder siblings did not have that problem, and she wondered if he inherited it from someone.

"Let me feed him!" Percy stood up from his seat and reached out to take Tommy in his arms.

However, the little boy hugged his mother's arms tightly and stared unhappily at Percy. "No, you're a baddie! Only Mommy can feed me. No one else can."

The little boy was only a little more than two years old, and he was usually reserved. However, he could speak fluently whenever he decided to, as though he was way older than two years old. His big and spirited eyes showed that he was extremely intelligent. novelbin

"Tommy, you shouldn't be rude to Uncle Percy." Bianca pinched her son's face and reprimanded him.

Percy chuckled. "It's an honor to be fed by me. I wouldn't have bothered if your Daddy wasn't Luke Crawford."

He could tell that Tommy was Luke's son. Not only did Tommy look like Luke, but he also shared his character.

Tommy was at a loss for a reply.

Luke Crawford was Tommy's hero. The little boy had never seen his father before, but his mother had often told him about Luke's exploits.

That was why Luke Crawford was such a hero to little Tommy.

"Fine..." Tommy reluctantly allowed Percy to pick him up and carry him in his arms.

Just like his Mommy, Uncle Percy picked all the food that he did not like.

He did not want to eat, but Uncle Percy seemed too intimidating. He could only comply.

Bianca wanted to laugh when she saw how aggrieved her son was in Percy's arms, but she also felt sorry for him.

She had pampered her children because she was supposed to be a loving mother in contrast to a stern father. That was why Tommy could be spoiled at times.

If Luke were still around. Tommy's personality would have been different.

Percy deboned a small piece of fish and stuffed it in Tommy's mouth, hesitated for a while, but said it anyway. "There's actually another reason for inviting you over, Ms. Rayne." "What is it?“ Bianca was puzzled.

"I want to know more about Nina Langdon. As far as I know, she has a small social circle. When she's not working in the office, she'll stay at home, and as far as I know, she doesn't have any particular

hobbies. I wonder why she always rejects my invitations. You're best friends with Nina, and you should know what he likes. Can you tell me more about her?"

Percy had been trying to court Nina for the past two years, but that woman seemed to be very defensive against men. 2

She would shriek in fear whenever Percy got close to her, and sometimes she would hurl insults or even punch and kick him. He could not understand why.

He tried to investigate Nina, but certain records were intentionally erased.

Bianca's expression sank when Nina's name was mentioned. "Mr. Mallory, don't you know what happened to Nina? Maybe you should ask that good- for-nothing younger brother of yours!"

She gritted her teeth when she said that last sentence.

She stood up, grabbed her son from Percy's arms, and said coldly, "Thank you for your invitation today, Mr. Mallory. I'm afraid I'll have to leave now. I still have a flight to catch!"

She left with Tommy, who was happily gnawing on a chicken nugget.

Percy remained rooted on the spot, utterly confused.

He decided to investigate Nina again.

Jason brought the twins to the airport to send off Bianca and Tommy.

Rainie's pretty little face was streaked with tears. She kept on rubbing her eyes.

The little girl buried her face in Bianca's waist, reluctant to see her mother leave. ’ When will you be coming back, Mommy? Will you abandon us like what Daddy did?"

She was afraid that her Mommy would not return, like Daddy.

Lanie did not cry, though his eyes were bloodshot and he was trying his very best to hold back the tears in his eyes.

Bianca caressed her daughter's head and gently spoke to her, "I won't do that. I'm going to Moscow to look for your Daddy, and we'll come back together. Trust me, alright?"

Lanie stared at his mother with an expectant gaze and pressed his lips together. "Mommy, you and Tommy must bring Daddy home. Rainie and I will wait for you." "I promise HI bring Daddy home."

Bianca nodded while holding back the tears in her eyes. Then, she spoke to Jason, "I'll leave them to your care, Mr. Doyle. Please take good care of them. Give me a call if you need anything.” "Don't worry, Ms. Rayne. HI take good care of them."

Bianca gave the twins a final kiss, then boarded the plane without turning back. She was afraid that she would not want to leave if she looked back.

She believed that she would be able to reunite with her children's father!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 688- I Have News

Marbella Village.

The chilly ocean breeze drifted through the window into a run-down fishing boat and woke the man who was in a deep sleep.

Luke abruptly sat up, the sound of waves washing onto the shore echoing in his ears.

He was startled, his eyes quickly scanned through the room. He realized that he was in a fishing boat.

The room was old but it was neat and clean. He was lying on a queen-sized wooden bed with a thin quilt covering his body.

Luke thought of getting out of bed but when he tried, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and left arm.

Luke frowned and found that there were layers of bandages wrapped around his chest and arm. The bandages smelled like blood and medicine.

He remembered that he was badly injured. The moment the plane exploded, he, Gale, and Rain had jumped out of the cabin and into the sea. novelbin

'Where did the two of them go? Who on earth saved me and bandaged my wounds?’

Just as he was about to get out of bed and check his surroundings, he heard two sets of footsteps walking toward him.

Luke hurriedly closed his eyes and lay down on the bed. He opened his eyes just a little to observe his surroundings.

A pair of soft, tiny hands touched his forehead.

Then, a kiddish voice said in English, "Strange, why is he still not awake?

Dad said that he should be awake now..." "Maybe he's too tired and wants to sleep a little longer. Maybe he likes to laze in bed like Bobby, hehe..." The other voice sounded gender-neutral and kiddish as well. The kid sounded like he or she was four to five years old.

Luke opened his eyes and then sat up on the bed.

He saw a little girl about four or five years old standing in front of his bed. She was dressed in colorful native attire. She had rosy cheeks and exotic eye color. The girl had a tanned but delicate face.

She stared at him in amazement.

The other kid was a five-year-old boy. Luke thought that he was not much older than Lanie and Rainie. His round face was highlighted by his blue pupils. He had a head full of blonde curly hair and wore a red vest as well as blue shorts. He looked adorable.

"Who are you?” When Luke saw the two innocent children in front of him, his attitude turned from hostile to gentle.

The girl smiled sweetly at Luke and said in a loud, clear voice, "Hello, you're awake! My name is Nova. This is my brother, Bobby. You were rescued from the ocean by my dad and grandma. When they saw you, you were badly injured. Fortunately, my dad is a travel doctor. After he brought you back, he treated you. He and grandma are fishing now, so they're not at home. They’ll come back at night but they told me and Bobby to take good care of you before they left. Sir, are you hungry? I can cook you something." "Sir, you’re handsome. Are you a fairy who fell from the sky?" Little Bobby snuggled over to Luke's bed and stared at Luke with his big, clear blue eyes. He looked fond of Luke.

"Thank you. I'm not a fairy. I was in an accident and ended up here." Luke touched Bobby's head and looked at the cute child in front of him who reminded him of his twins at home.

"Oh, so that's how it is... Where's your house? I like you, you're so goodlooking. You’re the most handsome man in our village..." Bobby bit his finger with his tiny mouth as he looked at Luke with a silly smile on his face.

Luke smiled and rubbed his head while thinking to himself, 'What a cute kid.

He thought of his companions and asked Nova, "Nova, where are we? How long have I been asleep? Did your parents see anyone else when they rescued me?"

Nova shook her head and raised two slender fingers at Luke. "This is Marbella Village. Our village is isolated from the rest of the world. For generations, we’ve been fishermen. My dad came back with you and there was no one else. At that time, you were covered in blood. Bobby and I were terrified. Sir, after my dad treated you, you slept for two days..."

Two days?!

Luke froze. He knew how wide Robert's influence was. Although his minions had not found this place, it was just a matter of time considering their terrifying tracking skills.

He could not bear to put this kind and innocent family in harm's way. He had to figure out how to get out of here as soon as possible.

Moscow, airport.

Gordan was there to pick Bianca up.

He was handsome as ever and accompanied by a short and chubby girl. Her hair was tied into a bun, making her look like a teddy bear from a distance.

She followed behind Gordan cautiously. Her head was lowered and she looked meek.

"Bianca, Selena, welcome to Moscow," Gordan greeted Bianca and Selena. He knew that Selena was fluent in multiple languages, so he was not surprised that she came along.

When Gordan saw Tommy, he was so excited that he ran over to hug him." Tommy is here too! Can Uncle Gordan hug you?"

Every time Gordan visited Bianca and Tommy, he always gave Tommy all kinds of fun toys. He had his way with kids, so Tommy did not treat Gordan as a stranger and even loved spending time with him.

Tommy stretched out his chubby little arms happily and reached out to Gordan. "Uncle Gordan, Tommy misses you..." '...and the toys you bring me.’

Tommy was cheeky and kept the second half of the sentence to himself.

Gordan took Tommy from Bianca and kissed his tender cheek. "You're a cheeky little one. I miss you too...” "Gordan, this is?" Bianca's curious gaze fell on the shy girl behind him.

Gordan's face sank as he introduced the girl behind him, ’’Her name is Vivian and her nickname is Faceless. She’s my wife in Moscow. Faceless, this is my sister-in-law, Bianca. This is her cousin, Selena." "Faceless?" Selena processed the nickname. She was curious about Vivian.

"I'm ugly, so this is the nickname he gave me. I love it."

Vivian finally raised her head and smiled shyly at Bianca and Selena." Bianca, Selena, hello! Is this your first time in Moscow? Where... Wherever you want to go, I... I can be your guide..."

Bianca and Selena's eyes widened when they saw Vivian's face.

There was a quote that went, 'Taking a second look is cruel to those who are ugly.'

Fortunately, Gordan broke the silence and said, Bianca, I have news about Luke. Let's head back and discuss it in detail."

Bianca nodded and kept quiet. She wanted to learn more about the situation as soon as possible, so she went back with Gordan and the others.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 690-Ran To The Deck At The Speed Of Lightning

Lunch.

Bianca, Selena, Tommy, and Vivian all ordered yogurt. novelbin

Bianca was a considerate person who was great at taking care of others. It shocked Vivian.

No one had ever treated her so kindly except for her brother.

Vivian kept smiling shyly at Bianca as she was overwhelmed by her kindness.

Vivian thought that Bianca was nice, beautiful, gentle, and considerate.

Although she was several years older than Bianca, she felt like a younger sister who was being taken care of.

Halfway through the meal, Vivian brought out two brocade boxes from her bag and handed them to Bianca and Selena. "Bianca, Selena, when we first met, I didn't know what you would like, but I bought something for both of you. I hope you like them."

The brocade boxes contained beautiful and rare gem accessories. One was a bracelet and the other was a necklace.

Bianca was unfamiliar with rare gems, but Selena could tell at a glance that the jewelry was worth at least one million each.

She whispered in Bianca's ear.

Bianca froze and handed the gift back to Vivian. "This is too expensive. We can accept your kind thoughts, but we cannot accept these gifts." "Bianca, you don’t like them? I'm so sorry, I... I didn't know

what you'd like... " Vivian played with her fingers nervously, looking dejected.

Bianca stole a glance at Ray and wondered if she should keep the gift.

Ray sat there and waved his hand to them. "Please accept Vivian's gifts.

She started preparing these gifts from the moment she knew you were coming to Moscow. The gifts are not worth much, but we hope you like

them."

Selena thought to herself, 'So this is how the rich live? He said that this jewelry worth millions is not worth much. Wow, my heart is shaking.'

Bianca accepted Vivian's gift, thinking that Vivian was polite and caring. If Vivian visited A City in the future, she would buy her two gifts as a thank you.

Lunch continued.

The food was mostly spicy. Gordan was choking and sweating from the chilies.

Vivian tried to wipe his sweat with a wet tissue, but he pushed her hand away. He wanted the beautiful waitress with long legs and pale skin to do it.

However, Gordan still kept it low-key as Ray was present. He merely thought about getting the waitress to wipe his sweat, but his eyes were still scanning all of the waitresses up and down.

Bianca thought that Gordan was being rude and inappropriate, but it was not the place nor time for her to say something.

She handed a glass of wine to Ray and gave him a toast. "Mr. Ray, I want to ask you about my husband. There was no news about him after Luke met you here two years ago. I know that he’s still

alive and well. Do you know anything about how I can find him?"

Ray took the wine that Bianca handed him and downed the contents of the glass.

He said slowly, "I'm sorry about what had happened to Luke. I didn't expect something like this to happen on my turf. I didn't even know that he had enemies in Moscow. According to what I found, what happened to Luke was related to an assassin organization named 'League of Shadows'. This organization is notorious in Eastern Europe and has no principles. As long as you can afford to pay them, they’ll do whatever you want, including killing the old and the weak.

"However, Robert, the leader of the League of Shadows, is extremely cunning. Not only is his whereabouts a mystery, but the league’s training base is also kept secret. The Russian Central Intelligence Agency has been investigating him for more than ten years and has not been able to find the organization's base... Ms. Crawford, you’re the closest to Luke and know his interpersonal relationships best. Do you know who wanted to put him in harm’s way?" "Wayne Blatt!" Bianca spat out these two words with hatred and elaborated, "Although I don't know why he wanted to kill my husband, I've been investigating him for a while. But he's too mysterious. I can't find out anything about him, nor did I manage to find any concrete evidence that he tried to murder my husband. My instinct tells me that this matter is related to him."

Ray rubbed his chin with his hand and thought about it for a while. His brilliant blue eyes shone brightly as he said, "No matter who the perpetrator is, since you’re in Moscow now, I'll do my best to protect the safety of you and your child. Luke is a ballsy man, I admire a man like him. It's a pity that he had to leave shortly after we met. Don’t worry, since we know that his disappearance is related to the League of Shadows, it’s a matter of time until we find him." "Thank you, Mr. Ray. Thank you for going to all the trouble for us,n Bianca said sincerely.

She was not much of a drinker, but she finished the cocktail in the tall glass.

Ray looked at Bianca with admiration and said, "During this period, it's best that you don’t run around on your own and blindly search for Luke's whereabouts. The League of Shadows is home to some of the best assassins in the world. They have large numbers and are experts in disguise. I’m worried that if they find out you're in Moscow, they’ll attack you and Tommy. If you want to go shopping, let me know in advance so that Vivian can take you to the mall with some of my people. They can ensure your safety."

Bianca nodded gratefully and thanked Ray again, but after this conversation, she became more worried about Luke's situation.

For a brutal and inhuman organization like the League of Shadows, if Luke had fallen into their hands, would he be in an extremely miserable and difficult situation now?

The Pacific Ocean.

On the azure ocean, a luxurious boat was traveling slowly.

A young but wicked man who had a stunning face was swimming in the ocean.

He wore only a pair of beach shorts while revealing his eight-pack abs. His body glistened alluringly in the sun.

Percy climbed onto the boat. Shortly after, a maid brought a bath towel and placed it over him. "Master Percy."

The maid looked at the handsome man with a blushing face.

His messy hair fell on his wet cheek, and with his beautiful face, it made him fatally charming. His body was comparable to top male models. It made her want to lose control and scream her heart out.

Percy Mallory wiped his hair as he walked toward the bedroom. "She’s still sleeping?" 1

The maid followed behind him closely, saying softly, "Ms. Langdon just woke up and said she wants to go to the deck for some fresh air..." "Has she eaten?" "No, Ms. Langdon doesn’t seem to have the appetite. I sent breakfast to her room this morning and she lost her temper at me. She threw all the food to the ground and screamed at me to leave!" The maid felt wronged! She complained to Percy, wondering why a man like Master Percy would be like an ordinary-looking and grumpy woman like Nina.

Percy raised an eyebrow, looking displeased.

He hated women who gossiped. The maid was going to be fired.

The maid was not aware that she had offended Percy and continued ranting about Nina.

At that moment, a horrified female scream came from the deck!

’Nina?!’

Percy ran to the deck at the speed of lightning...
