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

Luca was speechless. It seemed like Jason was not willing to help her.

She would have to face Luke alone sooner or later. She pondered for a moment before walking out of the office.

Rather than facing Luke alone at home, it was better to face him in the office. At least he would assess the situation

and not do anything crazy to her.

Luca thought for a moment and knocked on Luke's office door.

“Come in." Luke's voice came from the other side of the door.

Luca pushed the door open and saw the man busy with his work. She took a deep breath and entered the office.

"Mr. Crawford, I came to get my laptop and folders."

"They're here." Luke pointed at the edge of his office desk without lifting his head.

Luca nodded, picked up her things, and was ready to leave.

"I need to talk to you," said Luke.

Luca paused, then closed her eyes. She could not run away from him, so she had no choice but to listen. "Yes, Mr.

Crawford?"

"I'll be busy for the time being and I'd like to take the apartment back. It'll be more convenient for me to get to

work and back," said Luke.

Luca was stunned. Was he taking back the apartment?

She did not think it mattered to her. She would just have to move back to her previous apartment. The journey to

the office would be longer, but it was not a big deal.

"Alright. I'll go home and pack today. I'll move out tomorrow," said Luca as complex emotions rose in her heart.

Was Luke kicking her out of the apartment?

Why would he do that? Was it because she did not give him a clear answer last night? Was that the reason he did

not plan to persist in pursuing her?

If she moved back to her apartment now, Abel would know about it and he would think that she had failed her

mission. She knew exactly what she would have to face later.

"I can't get used to sleeping on the maid's bed. That's why I want the apartment back. I've prepared another place

for you. It's not far away from the office." Luke continued to look at the screen. He was working and implementing

his plan at the same time.

"Ah? Mr. Crawford, why don't you move there, then?" Luca asked. It was troublesome for her to move here and

there.

Luke stopped working and lifted his head to look at her with his gloomy eyes. "My clothes and daily necessities are

all in the apartment. I'm asking you to move out of the apartment so that I can save my time. As for your

belongings, I'll get a professional moving service to pack your things for you. You need not worry about it. Your

things will be moved to the new place."

Luca listened to him. What he meant was that he refused to let her move back to the previous apartment and she

had to move out of the current apartment too.

She nodded and readily agreed to what he said. "Alright, Mr. Crawford."

No matter what his arrangements were, he would not use 'working overtime' as an excuse to stay with her in the

future anymore.

The distance between them would not grow too close either. Besides, the place she was moving to belonged to

Luke too. She could still lie to Abel so that he would not be in a rush to take any action.

Luke said, "You may leave if there's nothing else. I'll send your new accommodation's address to you later."

"Okay, Mr. Crawford." Luca only nodded her head and agreed to what he said.

When she turned around carrying the laptop and folders in her arms, she heard the man say, "I'm going back to

Crawford Manor tonight. You don't have to prepare my portion for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast."

"Alright..." Luca left the office after that.

She heard Luke coughing again when she closed the door.

She thought of preparing some soup for him tonight to soothe his throat and lungs, but he was not going to the

apartment tonight.

Luca let out a sigh and shook her head. She carried the laptop back to her office and forced herself to concentrate

on her work.

After Luke watched Luca leave, he stopped working and began to make arrangements for the move.

He found a cleaning company and asked them to clean the furniture and the villa. The villa would soon be his, Luca,

the kids' home.

After that, Luke called the cleaning lady who had been cleaning Luca's apartment. Once that was settled, he

continued his work.

In the evening, when everyone got off work.

Luca returned to the apartment. She had mixed feelings when she saw that the cleaning lady had almost finished

packing her stuff.

Luke claimed that he could not get used to sleeping in the maid's room, but he had been sleeping there for a few

nights continuously. How did he suddenly become not used to it?

There was only one explanation. He had decided to give up on her as she did not agree to his request last night.

Asking her to move out of the apartment was the best choice. He would not have to trouble the others to pack his

things. After all, judging from his personality, he had always hated unrelated people touching his personal

belongings.

His personal belongings would remain in the apartment. He would be able to move back to the master bedroom

afterward. He handled the matter well by providing her with another accommodation.

Luca understood what was the purpose of him doing so.

Their conversation last night had brought the two of them who used to be distant even farther away from each

other.

It seemed like she could no longer receive his special treatment. Luke would only treat relationships like fast food

now...

"That's great. I don't have to follow Abel's order to harm you. Even if I have to do something to hurt you in the

future, you won't fall into the trap just because you trust me so much." Luca looked at the luggage that was already

packed. Then, she put the ingredients that she bought earlier in the kitchen.

She took the ingredients out and realized that even though she knew Luke would not be coming over for dinner, she

had accidentally bought the ingredients to make soup.

With all these ingredients, she would be able to make a pot of soup that could cool the body and nourish the lungs.

Luca shook her head helplessly. Since she had bought the ingredients, she would still have to make the soup. She

recalled that Tina and Jason had been helping her during this period. She thought of putting the ingredients in the

fridge first. She would wake up early to make the soup and bring it to the office to give it to them.

Luca ate something simple for dinner after planning it out. Then, she continued her work.

She worked until 11 at night. She yawned, washed herself up, and went to sleep.

She thought not being able to sleep last night would make her sleep well tonight, but when she lay down on the bed,

she tossed and turned. It was yet another restless night.

She kept thinking about how Luke had asked her to move out.

Luca slept on her side and touched the mattress gently. The bedsheets were new, but not the mattress.

Luke must have slept on this mattress before she moved in here.

Luca let out a deep sigh at the thought of moving to another place without any traces of Luke having lived there

before. She sat up on the bed and took some sleeping pills. Then, she reported to Abel and told him that Luke would

arrange for her to move into a more luxurious apartment.

She said that only because she did not want Abel to find out that Luke was distancing himself from her.

She would continue to pretend that she had a chance to get together with Luke to make Abel believe in her.

After she completed everything, she put her phone aside. Soon, she felt sleepy under the influence of the drug. She

fell deeply asleep.
