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

Jean asked with concern seeing that she refused to share her troubles, "What's the matter?"

Luca shook her head, smiled slightly, and just said, "It's nothing."

Jean noticed that she had frowning eyes, and it was as though they contained endless sadness. Unfortunately, she

refused to talk and instead looked at him without saying anything else.

Two glasses of cocktails arrived at the table. Luca took a sip and said, "This bartender is great at what he does. The

cocktail is delicious."

"If you like it, drink more. When you can't express the sadness in your heart, you can be more free and easy after a

few drinks," Jean said as he ordered Luca an extra drink without asking her.

Luca did not stop him.

Before she set off, she took a drug that would help keep her sober regardless of how much she drank. Seeing that

he had ordered another drink for her, she raised her head and chugged the drink in her hand.

Jean blinked, not expecting Luca to be so bold when it came to drinking.

"Luca, it's easy to get drunk if you drink like this." He pretended to advise her but was secretly hoping that Luca

would get drunk.

Luca put her elbows on the table to support her chin, blinked, and said, "I'm not very good at drinking, so it's easy

for me to get drunk. However, if I don't get drunk, I can't help but think about my problems."

"What's troubling you?" Jean asked.

"It's... No, you can't help me even if I tell you about it." Luca stopped just as she was about to speak.

Jean was ill at ease. He saw the waiter bring the cocktail over and pushed the glass in front of her. "Maybe you can

tell me. I studied abroad and have quite a broad range of knowledge."

Luca looked at him, shook her head, and said, "I'm worried about Nina. Aren't you and her not on the best of

terms? Forget about it. You can't help me."

Jean was wary when Nina was mentioned, but he still wanted to chat with Luca. Hence, he asked, "Did you get into

a fight with Nina?"

"No." Luca shook her head, raised her glass once again, and finished the second drink.

Rain, who was sitting in the corner, saw that and quickly reported to Luke, "Boss, Dr. Craw has already had her third

glass of cocktail. The drinks here are quite strong."

After Luke heard what Rain said, he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to keep a close eye on her. If Jean dares to

cross the line, we'll forget about the plan."

"Understood," Rain replied.

Jean asked, "So... What happened?"

"I don't think that life has been easy for you or Nina, so how did the two of you end up in this situation?" Luca

deliberately avoided his question and asked him another question instead.

Jean took a sip of his cocktail when his relationship with Nina was mentioned. "Will you believe me if I say that it's

not my fault?"

Luca said, "It's not a question of whether I believe you or not. I just met Nina but it feels like we've known each

other for a long time, so I believe in what she says. However, after spending some time with you, you're not too bad

either. At least, you took me away from that messed-up bar and didn't take advantage of me. That's why I thought I

should put away any misunderstanding I had of you before and get to know you once more. However, your

relationship with Nina..."

"I'm her brother. I would never harm her even though she has always ignored my kind will and always stands on the

other side when something happens. As it went on, the crack in our relationship grew," Jean complained.

Luca nodded and acted like she believed what he said.

When she saw Jean finish his glass, she did the same.

Jean ordered more drinks.

The two drank a few more drinks. Luca said, "Sometimes, I also think that Nina is too stubborn. Two days ago, I

turned her down and now I can't contact her. I even paid a visit to her apartment today but it was useless. Jean, can

you help me get in touch with Nina?"

When he heard that she wanted him to contact Nina, Jean felt cornered. He could usually use Anna O'Reilly as an

excuse to make Nina appear but considering that she was in Pierre's hands, she could not escape even if he wanted

to be in contact with her.

Luca looked at him silently and seized the opportunity to ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Nina?"

"Nothing happened. She's in a safe place," Jean said as he shook his head.

"Is that so? That means that she's mad at me! Otherwise, why would she not respond to me when I reach out to

her?" Luca acted sadly and continued talking, "She's my only friend here, but she misunderstood me. I can't believe

that she's not even going to give me a chance to explain myself."

"What happened between the two of you?" Jean continued to ask.

"Remember how I was there last time you went to Nina's apartment?" Luca said.

Jean nodded.

"She asked me over to accompany her to prevent Mr. Percy from coming in. I stayed with her for two days but I had

a banquet to go to one night. I drank a lot that night and felt very uncomfortable, so I went back to my apartment

to rest. Next thing I knew, I couldn't contact her anymore!"

Jean was stupefied.

Luca continued talking, "Maybe she thought that I didn't accompany her on purpose, but she doesn't know that I

was feeling extremely uncomfortable that night. That's why I went back to my apartment to rest. I felt horrible. I

went to knock on her door the next day and she didn't respond. Jean, I regard Nina as my best friend. Why is she so

cruel to me?"

Jean was speechless. He knew that Nina was not angry with Luca for that reason.

However, he did not know how to explain it. All he could do was to comfort her. "Maybe she just has something to

attend to. She'll come to you when she's done with her work."

He thought that Pierre would not keep Nina imprisoned for long. He would surely let her out after he tamed her.

Luca took Jean's hand and pressed him for more information like a drunkard. "Do you know where Nina is? Please

tell me. I want to explain myself to her."

Jean lost all rationality after he was held by her soft hand. He said, "She's with a friend and will be back soon. I

believe she's not the kind of person that would hold on to such petty matters."

When Luca heard that, she understood what was going on.

Jean did know where Nina was.

"I'm worried. You're her brother, so you must know where she is. How about this? If it's inconvenient for you, please

help me send her a message," Luca said.

"Okay." Jean was overwhelmed by her coquettish behavior and nodded quickly in agreement.

Luca knew that her goal had been achieved but it was not enough. She asked, "You mentioned that Nina went to

her friend's place. Is she still in A City, then?"
