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

“Thank you, Mom." Luke did not reject her. This was the elderly's blessing. He accepted the gifts on behalf of

Bianca.

"Mom, there's a box of vitamins in the bag. It's for Old Master Norman. Please give it to him when you head there,"

said Luke. He did wish to visit Old Master Norman, but he had to prepare something for him. That was why he

reminded Luca to get something for them.

That way, Queenie could bring the gifts along with her when she visited him.

Luke did not have to socialize that much either.

Queenie nodded. She smiled and said, "Thank you for being thoughtful."

"It was Bianca who reminded me," said Luke. Luca was reminded of her grandparents who were related to her.

That was why she mentioned it to Luke.

Luke was allowed to use being busy as an excuse to escape from socializing, but one had to prepare gifts and send

regards to them.

"Bianca reminded you?" Queenie was surprised. She said excitedly, "Is Bianca starting to remember things now?"

Queenie had been texting with Bianca lately. Bianca was still as busy as usual. She would have to wait until the next

day to receive a reply from Bianca if she sent a message today.

It was already considered fast. Sometimes, she would have to wait until the third day.

"No. She mentioned it when I told her about preparing New Year gifts." Luke lied to her. He knew Queenie would get

excited when she heard Bianca's name. Hence, before he mentioned it to her, he had already found an excuse.

Queenie was slightly disappointed and muttered, "She hasn't gotten her memories back..."

"After everything that she's gone through, I guess it's better for her not to remember those things," said Luke.

He did not have many feelings when he said that as Bianca was just right beside him, and she did not lose her

memory.

She still loved him and the kids. That was why there was not much emotion on his face.

Queenie nodded, agreeing with what Luke said. It was almost time for lunch. She did not continue to ask Luke about

Bianca. Instead, she stood up and said, "Okay. Wait here. I'm going to prepare lunch."

Tommy looked at Jack and asked, “Grandpa, can we play with toys?"

“Of course. Your grandma bought some new toys for you. Off you go," Jack replied happily. His grandchildren were

different from the other children.

The other children at their age could not be bothered to play with toys. Most of them played mobile games.

However, Luke's kids preferred reading and playing puzzle games.

He did not have to worry about them.

“Grandpa and Grandma are the best!" Tommy clapped his hands excitedly. He grabbed Lanie's and Rainie's hands

and headed upstairs.

They came to visit their grandparents, but they were not interested in the conversation between the adults. That

was why Tommy suggested going upstairs to play games. Luke did not stop them either.

Luke shifted his gaze after watching the kids head upstairs and disappear from his sight.

"Luke, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to my study," Jack stood up and said.

“Sure." Luke rose to his feet and headed to Jack's study upstairs.

After Jack closed the door behind him, he sat on the sofa. He knew Luke would be taking the kids here to visit them.

Thus, he placed a pot of tea on the coffee table in front of the sofa earlier.

“Would you like to have some tea?" Jack asked.

“Okay. Let me do it." Luke waited for Jack to start talking while he poured two cups of tea.

Luke handed one of the cups to Jack and said, “Dad, here's your tea."

“Thank you." Jack admired Luke's sophistication. Then, he said, “I asked you to come up here to discuss a few

things with you."

“Go ahead." Luke waited for him to go straight to the point.

“Why didn't Luca come along with you?" Luca's situation was what Jack was most concerned about.

Jack had two daughters. He had already given up on Leia and no longer cared about her. He only had Luca left.

Even though Luca had been kidnapped and went missing for three years, she still cared for them. That was the

reason Jack cared so much about Luca.

Luca cared about her parents. As a father, Jack would also be concerned about his daughter.

“She thinks that she's in no position to come, and she was worried that she'd cause misunderstandings if she

came," said Luke.

“How could she..." Jack wanted to blame her, but he realized that he could not continue with the rest of the

sentence.

There was a reason that Luca was worried.

Queenie had no idea about Luca's true identity by far. It was to protect her. If Luca came here together with Luke,

Queenie would have suspected them.

Luca chose not to come together with him as it could avoid many troubles indeed.

“She rejected our invitation when we asked her to come here to countdown to the new year together." ack sounded

a little depressed.

Even though he was a senior official, that did not change anything.

Jack could only protect the citizens, but he failed to protect his daughter.

Regarding this matter, he had no choice but to wait for Luke to investigate the matter because of his status and

identity.

"Luca doesn't want to cause any trouble now," Luke explained on behalf of Luca.

He knew why she would make such a decision too.

The more memories she created with them, the harder it was for her to leave them.

If Luca had something holding her back, she would have more weaknesses that could be used against her.

Luke understood it well.

If it were not for him who offended the Island of Despair back then, the woman he loved would not have suffered

for so many years.

Hence, it all boiled down to one thing. He was the one who caused Luca to end up like this today.

Even so, he would not let go of her easily.

He had to be the one who protected the woman he loved the most.

“I hope that your men can find out something as soon as possible and help her to escape from those sufferings.”

Jack heaved a sigh.

Luke nodded. There were many things he had yet to tell Jack, like how others could not help him on this matter.

"One more thing. The decision to develop the suburban areas was made before the holidays started. The

government had decided to develop the land. They didn't appoint any companies to do their project. The

companies will have to join the tender and win the bid. And they'll probably release the notice after the new year.

Plus, the conference should be held around the end of March or April," said Jack.

Luke was not surprised to hear that. He had already found out about the development of the suburban areas.

He just did not expect the decision to be made so quickly.

Previously, the Environmental Protection Agency had been opposing it, claiming that the development would ruin

the ecosystem.

It was on the news, so he did not expect the government to convince them so quickly.

"There must be some special conditions for the development this time," said Luke.

Jack picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. Then, he looked at Luke in admiration and said, "Yes. There are special

conditions, indeed. They proposed high requirements for a green environment to convince those environmentalists

to accept the land development in that area. You have to be prepared for it. Given the conditions, you're not

allowed to ruin the ecosystem there. You also have to make sure the greening rate there is higher than before."

"As expected..." Luke took a sip of the tea.

“Why? Do you think it's difficult?" Jack asked. He thought such a small issue would not be difficult for Luke to handle.
