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

Louis did not stop Yuri. It had been a long time since he gave Yuri any jewelry.

Yuri looked at Louis after she closed the safe and said, “Our family needs the shares no matter what. If you sell all

your shares, we can't depend on my family when we're facing any difficulty in the future. Are you going to take out

a loan when the time comes?"

"Mom said that she's not going to host the birthday party if she doesn't have the jewelry set." Louis pulled his hair

fretfully.

"Why is this old woman so stubborn?" Yuri frowned. She had expected Louis to get scolded by Susan, but she did

not expect that the old woman would threaten her son by not hosting the birthday party if he could not get the

jewelry set for her.

No way!

The hotel had been booked and the invitation cards had been sent to the guests. People would think that there was

something wrong with the Crawford family if they canceled the birthday party out of the blue.

Besides, Yuri had always relied on the parties held by the Crawford family to maintain her status in the Dunn family.

If there was no birthday party this time, would she not be laughed at by those people?

"If Mom won't attend the birthday party, we can hold the party like nothing happened." Yuri proposed. After all,

there was hardly anyone who truly wanted to please Susan.

People preferred to butter up Old Master Crawford and please Luke. As for Louis, they would only ask for the

chance to cooperate or form a partnership at most.

"What? What will the others think of her if she doesn't show up at her own birthday party?" Even though those

people would not be attending the party to celebrate her birthday, she had to be there. Moreover, Louis was afraid

that Susan would annoy Old Master Crawford by refusing to attend the party out of spite.

Susan would still be the unlucky one by then.

"Tell me, what should we do if nothing's going to work?" Yuri's good mood was spoiled by Susan's matter in a split

second.

Yuri sat on the dressing table chair with her arms crossed. "She's your mother. You'll have to handle this by yourself.

It gives me the hump."

"I'll find a way." Louis was annoyed and upset. He thought of lighting up a cigarette to calm himself down. When

Louis picked up the lighter and he was about to light the cigarette, he heard Yuri saying, "Get outside if you're going

to smoke. It stinks."

"I'm still your husband no matter how stinky it is!" Louis yelled at her and stomped out of the bedroom with the

cigarette and lighter.

The door slammed behind Yuri. She frowned, feeling aggrieved. It was not her who wanted that jewelry set. Why did

Louis vent his emotions on her?

"Everyone in this family is weird," Yuri mumbled to herself depressingly. She recalled how Susan had complained to

her that the old master took her herbs and made tea for Luca before the dinner. Yuri felt even more uncomfortable

at the thought of that.

If Yuri were not Louis' wife, she would have exposed the fact of the old master taking the liberty of doing anything

he wanted and treating Luca kindly. She would also let the reporters know what kind of person Luke was.

Luke's public persona as a faithful husband was contradictory to his true personality—a Casanova.

It was a pity that Louis did not intend to go back to T Corporation. If Luke's reputation was destroyed, it would not

do their family any good either.

Her family could still gain benefits when the company was giving out bonuses.

Louis got out of the bedroom, planning to head to the balcony to smoke. However, he saw Luke standing on the

balcony.

Luke did not have any cigarettes in his hands. It seemed like he did not come here to smoke.

Louis knew Luke was not here to look at the scenery. Hence, there was a high possibility that he was standing here

waiting for him.

They had been brothers for more than 20 years. Luke knew him well.

Yuri did not like Louis smoking. Hence, every time Louis wanted to smoke, he would have to come to the balcony

here to smoke. Louis would want to smoke whenever he had something in his mind.

"Brother, why are you standing here?" Louis walked toward him and forced a smile on his face.

"One for me please." Luke looked at the cigarettes in Louis' hands and reached his hand out. Luke seldom smoked

after he found out that Luca's true identity was Bianca. Other than the times when Luca made him mad, he would

not smoke.

Louis handed Luke one and lit the lighter for him at the same time.

Luke took a puff and blew a smoke ring. He frowned, "The taste of this cigarette is slightly different."

"Yes. The peppermint tastes stronger," replied Louis as he lit another cigarette for himself. "I guess you're no longer

used to it. I notice that you hardly smoke anymore."

"Nothing's bothering me. I don't need it." Luke looked at him. Although they were born to the same father but

different mothers, their brotherhood was not influenced by the grudges that their mothers held for each other.

"Yuri mentioned Mom's matter. Is she dissatisfied with the jewelry you bought her?" Luke had been standing on the

balcony for some time, so he heard what Susan said to Louis.

"Yeah. She's not happy with it. And she told me she's not going to attend the birthday party if I don't get her that

jewelry set. Come on, she's almost 60 yet she's behaving like a child. Is that what she's supposed to do?" Louis was

troubled.

Luke watched Louis' brows furrowing as his forehead wrinkled. Susan was always causing trouble for him, but she

was much better than Allison.

Louis took another puff of smoke. "Grandpa will be pissed if anything happens at the birthday party."

“What jewelry set is it?" Luke asked. He was planning to lend a hand when he saw Louis was deeply troubled.

"Brother, it's alright. This is my mother's request. She'll never accept it if she knows it was you who helped to buy

that jewelry set," replied Louis as he shook his head. He did not want to trouble Luke.

Luke and Bianca had helped him a lot when he had just started building his workshop.

A few years had passed, and Louis had his own career, but he still needed his brother's help. When was he going to

grow up and become a man?

"It's alright. I can help you to get that jewelry set first, then you can pay me in installments." Luke suggested. He

knew Louis was too ashamed to ask for his help. That was why Luke took the initiative to help.

However, it was not considered doing him a favor.

"Brother..." Louis did not expect Luke to help him.

Luke was not helping Louis by giving him money. He was helping him in another way.

It was a good idea. At least Louis would not feel like he owed Luke a favor.

"I heard Mom yelling at you in the bedroom just now. You found the connection, right? I'll pay for it. Then you can

pay in installments after you get that jewelry set. Take it as my appreciation for holding T Corporation's shares,"

said Luke.

The shares of T Corporation that Louis was holding could be put to use in the future.

"Okay." Louis nodded and stubbed out the cigarette. Then, he took his phone out of his pocket and contacted the

noblewoman who was willing to sell the jewelry set.

With Luke backing him up, he was finally able to purchase that jewelry set.

"I'm waiting for her reply. The price will be confirmed later." Louis let out a sigh. The jewelry set was something he

could not buy even if he had the connections.

Now that Louis could solve the problem with money, he was finally feeling relieved.

Besides, Louis was the one responsible for dealing with the person who had the jewelry set and some other

procedures. Susan would not know that Luke had helped him.

"Just tell me how much you need. Don't put your wife and child in a difficult position," Luke reminded him.
