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

“Is this the jewelry set that I asked for? Louis, you probably think that I'm old and my eyes are getting bad. Is that

why you're trying to fool me?"

Yuri stood at the stairs, holding Thea's hands. Susan must be in a bad mood now, not to mention that she was

lectured by Old Master Crawford not long ago. Yuri grabbed Thea's hand and decided not to return to their

bedroom to prevent her from getting into trouble. Hence, Yuri lowered her head and said, "Thea, have you finished

your homework?"

Thea pouted, and there was clearly a disapproving look in her eyes. “Mommy, I don't want to do my homework."

"No way. Come on. Let's go to your bedroom and finish your homework." Yuri did not want to deal with Susan's

anger. She dragged her daughter and headed to Thea's bedroom without a second thought.

The jewelry set was Louis' idea. Yuri had thought it was a bad idea from the very beginning. After all, jewelry meant

a lot to a woman.

However, Louis refused to listen to her. He thought getting something similar would cheer Susan up, so he insisted

on buying this jewelry set.

Louis had gotten himself into deep trouble now.

Thea was dragged back into her room. She looked at her mother and said, "Mommy, Grandma seems angry."

"Yes. That's why you must listen to Mommy's advice and do your homework." Yuri was a little worried that Susan

would come looking for her. After all, her mother-in-law was a censorious person. She was mean to the others, but

she would pick on her more.

"I'm scared..." Thea sulked when she looked at her homework. She did not want to do her homework. She took the

chance to use the excuse of Susan being angry to act cute and avoid doing her homework.

"Come on. It's alright. Everything will be fine after you finish your homework." Yuri was having a hard time

convincing Thea. Her daughter was not as studious as Luke's kids. Thea would always act cute whenever she was

asked to do her homework.

Quoting what Old Master Crawford had said, Thea's personality resembled her father.

Louis was almost the same back then.

Susan's bedroom.

Louis listened to his mother's sharp question as a dull pain ached in his temples. "Mom, this isn't the jewelry set that

you wanted. But the price of this jewelry set isn't cheap either, and it looks similar to the one you want."

“How can this be the same? There's nothing similar to it other than the color. It's not even the same brand!" The

design was important to Susan, but the price and brand mattered more.

Susan was planning to wear the set to her birthday party. If the wives of those rich men saw her wearing one of the

three limited edition jewelry sets, they would be green with envy. Then, Susan would be popular in the social circle.

She wanted to prove that she was the favored daughter-in-law in the Crawford family with that jewelry set. Even

though Allison had gotten out of prison, there was no way she could compare to her.

What was the point of having a son who had all the benefits? Her son could give her a comfortable life too.

However, she did not expect Louis to buy another jewelry set to deceive her.

"Mom, the jewelry set you want is a valuable collectible. Others are reluctant to let it go..." Louis was helpless. He

was hoping that Susan would understand him.

Louis had gone to great lengths to look for the jewelry set, but he was still unable to get it.

He now owed others tons of favors just so he could look for the jewelry set. It was not easy for Louis to approach a

noblewoman who was willing to let it go, but he could not afford to pay the price.

Louis would have to sell his shares in T Corporation.

However, he could not sell the shares that he held in T Corporation to satisfy Susan's vanity.

Luke told him that someone was secretly purchasing T Corporation's shares before. If Louis sold the shares, that

person would probably buy them to threaten Luke's status.

They were a family, and Louis would never do something like that.

"This has nothing to do with the others letting it go or not. It's because you refuse to get it for me. I know you have

the connections. Fine, you've grown up now. And you told me that you'd honor your mother. It's all bullsh*t. Louis, I

didn't raise you to get me a counterfeit jewelry set and make me look like a fool!" Susan stormed off and threw the

jewelry box on the bed.

Fortunately, the mattress was soft. Otherwise, the jewelry in the box would have broken if it was thrown on the

floor.

Louis felt helpless. Even though this jewelry set was similar to the one Susan asked for, it was not a counterfeit

item.

After all, this jewelry set was released earlier than the one she wanted.

"Mom, why don't you pick something else? I'll try my best to get it for you." Louis knew Susan was a picky person.

Hence, it was unlikely that he would be able to get another gift for her.

Still, it was better than arguing over this jewelry set.

Susan shot him a cold glance and scoffed. "You're my good son indeed. I only want a jewelry set and you're giving

me so many excuses. Fine. You're not buying it, right? I'm not going to host the birthday party if you don't get me

that jewelry set before my birthday. I'm going to show everyone how my good son honors me!"

After that, Susan picked up the jewelry box and stuffed it into Louis' hands. Then, she pushed him out of the room

and slammed the door.

Louis looked at the jewelry box in his hands.

Susan told him that she would not accept this jewelry set. Louis leaned against the wall, feeling exhausted while

massaging his temples.

What Yuri said was right. A slight difference was poles apart in a woman's eyes.

This jewelry set was beautiful too, and it cost a fortune. The only difference was that this jewelry set was not a

limited edition...

Now, if Louis could not find that jewelry set, Susan's birthday party would be canceled.

The Crawford family would become one of the topics of conversation then.

Louis let out a sigh. What a pain in the neck.

He strolled back to his bedroom lifelessly. Yuri pushed the door open and walked into the room. She saw Louis still

holding the jewelry box and knew what had happened.

“Mom refuses to compromise, huh?"

“It was just like what you said. Tell me, do I really have to buy that jewelry set for her?" Louis asked helplessly.

"Are you insane? Are you really going to sell your shares for that jewelry set? Let's not talk about the workshop for

now. Although the workshop's business is growing, no one knows if it'll run steadily in the future. The income is

enough for us to raise our child now, but what about the future? How do you know what's going to happen in the

future? You won't have a guarantee without the shares. Luke knows how to please Grandpa well. Even if you're not

running your workshop anymore, you still have the chance to work in T Corporation. But if the old master passes

away in the future, no one will be there to seek justice for you, and your shares will be all gone. What will we do

then?" Yuri took the jewelry box from Louis and checked the jewelry in the box. Fortunately, the jewelry was not

broken.

Yuri liked this jewelry set, but Susan was the one who needed it. That was why she did not say anything about it.

Now, Susan did not need it anymore.

Yuri opened the closet and placed the jewelry box in the safe.

"Luke isn't that kind of person. What are you doing?" Louis frowned when he saw what Yuri was doing.

"I'll take this since Mom doesn't want it. It's an expensive jewelry set. I can put it on when I'm attending parties next

time." Yuri was not planning to let Louis return the jewelry.
