Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 1069 He Never Gave Up Searching

Maxine did not want to humiliate herself, so she gave up on the idea of talking to Luke.

If she said something and Luke ignored her, the two people sitting opposite her would naturally look down upon her.

Maxine could only browse on her phone while drinking her wine.

Occasionally, she would turn her head and look around. Meanwhile, Luke sat there with a cold expression. He was

also alone, but he did not seem awkward.

As Maxine continued to sit there, she felt as though the people around her were mocking her.

Nina, sitting next to Percy, was quite reluctant to attend the banquet. She was discreetly observing Maxine.

Eventually, she was sure that Maxine had performed cosmetic surgery on her face. The signs were not obvious, but

she could tell that her pure looks were not natural.

Remembering that Maxine had a crush on Luke, Nina's contempt toward Maxine grew.

"Does she think that she can win Luke's heart just by making herself look like Bianca? How stupid of her.'

The more she thought about it, the more contemptuous she became. As Bianca's best friend, Nina would help her

protect the people and things that were most important to her.

Luke took another sip of the wine, unbothered by his noisy surroundings. His mind was only occupied by Bianca.

Bianca was the love of his life and the mother of his children...

Luke drank glass after glass of red wine.

Maxine smiled when she saw that Luke was trying to drown himself in alcohol. Previously, she would have tried to

stop him, but now, she hoped that Luke would be drunk.

Luke would not be able to clearly discern reality once he was drunk. That way, Maxine had more chances to get

close to him.

By the end of the banquet, Luke had drunk a lot of wine. After most of the guests left, he stood up with the help of

the table, and he began to stumble.

"Luke!" Maxine wanted to support him when she saw that.

However, Percy was faster than her. He dragged Luke and looked at him contemptuously. "How embarrassing. Do

you think that you're at a nightclub?"

Luke narrowed his gaze. "I'm not drunk." "You're not drunk, but you drank a lot. Let's go. I'll bring you home." Percy

knew very well that a drunk person would not admit that he was drunk. He carried Luke behind his back and walked

away.

Nina stopped walking, turned around to look at Maxine, and smiled.

"What's wrong with you?" Maxine was angry that Percy had snatched her chance of getting close to Luke, but she

could not do anything about it.

Nine pointed upward. "Were you planning to bring Luke upstairs?"

She meant the suites.

"What nonsense is that? I only want to bring Luke home." Maxine felt embarrassed that Nina had seen through her

plan.

"Is that so?" Nina stopped smiling. She looked at the backs of the two men and said, "Did you perform your

cosmetic surgery in A City? It looks quite natural."

Maxine was stunned. No one else noticed that she had performed cosmetic surgery, so how did Nina do it?

Nina turned around and left while Maxine remained frozen on the spot. No matter how Maxine would try to change

her face, Luke would never look at her.

His heart belonged to Bianca and no other woman.

The extended Rolls-Royce drove toward Crawford Manor.

Luke sat in the backseat. He was quite intoxicated, but his sitting posture remained elegant.

"Look at him again, and I'll throw him out of the car." Percy had been dissatisfied with the attention that Nina had

been giving Luke.

Nina turned around and looked outside the window. "If you really want to throw him out of the car, you wouldn't

have picked him up in the first place."

Percy grunted coldly and looked at his drunk friend.

He would not have helped Luke if Maxine was not there to take advantage of him.

"Hasn't he given up on searching?" Nina asked.

"No. He's still at it," Percy said. After two months with no developments, everyone should have known what it

meant.

Bianca was most likely dead, and her body had been disposed of in the sea. The sea was so vast, and there were so

many creatures.

A body would have been eaten before it could float to the surface.

"He won't give up that easily." Percy knew his friend very well.

Nina nodded. She would not want Luke to give up too.

Nina sighed as she looked out of the window. In the next second, Percy gripped her chin and forced her to look at

him. "You can look at me."

She did not resist. Her eyes fell on the man's face.

Percy had been more and more domineering recently. Not only had he moved into the same mansion as Nina, but

he also did not allow her to look elsewhere.

The Rolls-Royce arrived at Crawford Manor.

Percy got the butler to help him carry Luke into the house.

Rainie was not in bed yet. After seeing the two men carry his father into his bedroom, she walked toward Nina

worriedly.

Nina patted her head and asked her softly, "Why aren't you sleeping yet, Rainie?"

Rainie's eyes were filled with worry. She reached out and held Nina's slightly cool hands. ' Why did Daddy drink so

much, Ms. Nina? Is he worried about Mommy?"

Nina smiled and crouched to Rainie's eye level. "It's normal for your Daddy to worry about your Mommy, isn't it? It's

not what you think. Your Daddy drank so much because he was at a business dinner."

Nina told a white lie because she did not want the children to worry about their father. After all, they would be extra

sensitive after losing their mother at such a young age.

Rainie did not seem so tense after hearing what Nina said. She nodded and smiled. "I understand. Thank you, Ms.

Nina." "Good girl. It's already very late, and you should go to bed." Nina squeezed Rainie's hand and felt sorry for

her.

"Alright. Daddy is already back, and I can go to bed now." Rainie smiled and turned away.

Percy had already stepped out of Luke's bedroom. His gaze became profound after seeing Nina talking to Rainie.

He had a thought in his head.

He leaned against the wall and did not walk over.

Rainie noticed Percy standing there and thanked him. "Thank you, Mr.

Percy, for sending Daddy home." "You're welcome. Go to bed." A smile appeared on Percy's usually impassive face.

Nina was surprised when she saw that. Percy rarely smiled, but he was smiling at a little girl now.

After Rainie went into her bedroom, Percy took Nina's hand and left the mansion. They were silent even after they

got into the car.

Percy broke the silence while he was driving. "Do you like children?"

Nina's eyelashes fluttered. She lifted her head and said, "I can't say that I hate them."
