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

The room was getting hotter and hotter, and the two were about to sink into one another when they heard a knock

on the door. Luca broke away from Luke's embrace as if she had come to her senses.

“Mr. Crawford, someone's at the door." Luca's face was scarlet red when she turned to look at Luke, who seemed

cross.

He had a look of discontent on his face.

"I heard." Luke could not wait to chase away the person at the door who interrupted them. "Who is it?"

"Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory is here. Would you like to meet him?" Aunt Neile's voice came from outside. Luca

listened carefully and could hear the anxiousness in her voice.

She reckoned that it was because she heard Luke's annoyed tone.

The man was usually calm and steady, but when he could not get what he wanted, he simply could not hide it.

Luca thought that this side of Luke was funny and kind of adorable at the same time.

"What's he here for?" Luke asked. Ultimately, Percy was the one who interrupted his time with Luca, not Aunt Neile.

Now that he was married, was he so overly happy that he thought he could come and disturb others as he pleased?

"I... I don't know, Mr. Mallory said you didn't pick up your phone, so he sent me up to inform you..." Aunt Neile

trembled as she relayed Percy's words.

Percy and Luke were best friends, so when he rang the bell, Aunt Neile let him in without a second thought.

However, Luke sounded upset from the other side of the door.

That was when Aunt Neile knew that she had interrupted something.

"Tell him to wait." Luke's tone was still stiff.

"Okay." After Aunt Neile replied, there was no sound at the door.

Luca looked at Luke's dissatisfied face, and her lips curled up as she found his defeated face to be quite amusing.

"Mr. Crawford, you're scaring Aunt Neile," she said deliberately.

Luke reached out and took her into his long arms. Then, he lowered his head to meet her delicate lips. He kissed

her hard.

Luca's mind went blank. She did not even tease him, yet Luke still made a retaliatory move on her.

She tried to push him away, but Luke's hold was too strong.

Only when Luca's lips went red and numb did Luke let her go. Then, in his low and husky voice, he said while

suppressing himself, “I'll settle you later tonight."

Luca watched dumbfoundedly as he opened the door and staggered out of the room.

After that revenge kiss, Luke left a warning and left...

Luca touched her numb lips and could tell that they were swollen from his firm kiss just now.

The thought of the makeout made Luca's mind go blank again.

So, tonight.

The thought of this made her face go red.

Downstairs.

Luke went downstairs looking grim, and when he saw Percy drinking coffee while leisurely sitting on the sofa, he

snapped, "Why didn't you stay longer in X City?"

"A City is my home. I came back to look for you. Why? Am I not welcome?" Percy crossed his legs and put down his

coffee cup. Then, he noticed the displeased look on his face and pretended to be surprised. "What's with that look?

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Quit the nonsense. Just spit it out." Luke sat on the other chair.

"Be patient and put your emotions aside for now. Otherwise, I might think that you're interested in me." Percy was

being sarcastic.

Luke looked at his coffee cup. He almost picked it up and splashed the coffee on him. "Shut up."

Percy sensed his intention, so he picked up the cup and glanced at the stairway. Luca did not come down, so he

must have interrupted their alone time.

He smiled and asked, "Where's Dr. Craw?"

"What are you looking for her for?" Luke was already unhappy, but hearing him mention Luca made him even more

upset.

If not for him, he would be tangled up with Luca right now.

"Don't be jealous. I only have eyes for Nina. It's just that what I'm about to say has something to do with Dr. Craw."

Percy's smile faded, and his expression became stern.

Luke gazed deeply.

With that look on Percy's face, it seemed like he had something important to say.

"Let's go to the garden," said Luke. If they talked here, Luca might come down anytime, and she might hear them.

"The garden is so cold. Is this the way you treat your guests?" Percy said helplessly as Luke was the one at fault.

"We can only talk in the garden." Luke stood up and walked to the entrance before putting on his coat.

Percy shook his head resignedly and had no choice but to follow him to the garden.

He chose not to say this on the phone for fear of being monitored, which was why he came here himself.

The two came to the gazebo in the garden.

Although it was already spring, it was even colder than winter because of the melting snow and ice around them.

Percy rubbed his hands together and exhaled a breath of warm air.

"It's cold, so I'll make it short." After looking around the garden, he said, “My people have news. They noticed some

ships hovering around the old site of the Island of Despair."

“Ships?" Luke frowned.

“Yes, ships, but there aren't any buildings on the surface of this island and the jungle is thick. It doesn't look like the

stronghold of the Island of Despair. However, if the ships are used to transport people, then the stronghold of the

Island of Despair must be on this island," said Percy while he nodded. His people had been observing for half a

month. They made sure that it was not just anyone's ships that were docked there before reporting to him.

“If there's nothing on the surface, it can only be underground," said Luke. The island had not been maintained for a

long time, so trees and weeds grew everywhere, which was the best barrier for people going in and out.

If not for Percy's people observing day and night, they might not have been able to spot the ships.

“But didn't we search underground from the surface before? We didn't manage to find anything." Percy was

puzzled at first until he thought of another possibility. “When you were captured, were there any buildings under the

Island of Despair?"

“Robert didn't fully trust me at that time, so I don't know, but Gale and Rain did mention that everything was carried

out on the island. They were on the Island for so long, but they've never heard of an underground building," replied

Luke. When they first suspected it, they had asked Gale and Rain.

After Gale and Rain said they had never heard of it, they investigated it using some tools but found nothing.

That was why they gave up on the underground hypothesis.

“I just thought of another possibility. What if they used a new type of material as a barricade? That would explain

why the tools weren't able to detect that there was a building underground." Percy raised his doubts.

There were many new materials nowadays, as well as materials that could completely block out signals. However,

the technology for these materials was not mature yet, so it was not widely used in the market.
