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

Old Master Crawford usually rested at 10:00 pm.

When Old Master Crawford heard Mr. Griffin's reminder, he picked up his phone, glanced at it, and

exclaimed, "How time flies!" "Old Master Crawford, you should rest early." Luca smiled. She had played

several rounds of chess with Old Master Crawford, but she still could not defeat him.

"No, you haven't beaten me yet." Old Master Crawford shook his head, eager to set up the chessboard

again.

Luca felt helpless. "Old Master Crawford, you're a skilled chess player. There's no way I can win the

game."

She was not much of a chess player to begin with, so for someone like Old Master Crawford, who

played regularly, winning against him was simply out of the question for her.

Mr. Griffin chuckled and reminded, "Old Master Crawford, you have a chess appointment tomorrow.

You must rest well tonight to have the energy to play tomorrow."

His words jogged Old Master Crawford's memory.

He had scheduled to play chess with an elderly friend at the park the next day, dedicating the entire

Sunday to the game.

Old Master Crawford pondered for a moment and decided to let Luca off. He said, "Alright, let's call it a

night. Luca, you should play more chess and get Luke to teach you in the future."

"Sure." Luca smiled helplessly.



Playing chess with the old man was enjoyable, but winning against him was challenging. It was a fact

she was well aware of.

Old Master Crawford turned to look at Nina and said, "Nina, you too. Whenever you have time, learn

how to play chess with Percy. Now that you're my god-granddaughter, you should visit Crawford Manor

often and keep me company for a game of chess."

Nina was pleasantly surprised. After all, Old Master Crawford only acknowledged her as his

godgranddaughter due to Luke's suggestion so that the Mallory family would not dare to lay a finger on

her.

She thought it was just a casual remark and to do Percy a favor. Now, it seemed Old Master Crawford

meant it more seriously. At the very least, he acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter.

"Yes Grandpa You should rest early." replied Nina while helping to tidy up the chessboard.

After the chessboard was kept properly, Luca pointed in the direction of the maid's room on the first

floor. She said, "Mr. Griffin, you’ll have to stay in the maid's room tonight. I hope it's not too

inconvenient for you."

"Not at all. I appreciate your help in preparing everything. I'll assist Old Master Crawford in going to bed

first and then head downstairs," replied Mr. Griffin as he helped Old Master Crawford upstairs.

Luca and Nina immediately followed behind them.

After they reached the second floor, Luca pointed at the bedroom where Old Master Crawford would

rest for the night.



Mr. Griffin helped Old Master Crawford into the room.

Nina stood at the side. After watching Old Master Crawford enter the bedroom, she returned to the

guest room.

Luca gently pushed open the doors to the children's rooms to ensure they were all in bed before

returning to her bedroom.

Luke was sitting by the bed, reviewing some documents.

Luca was surprised. "Weren't you working in the study?"

"Yes, I've finished the computer work. I brought the remaining documents over here to review,”

answered Luke as he lifted the folder in his hand.

Luca nodded without saying much. She opened the wardrobe to find her pajamas.

"Has Grandpa gone to bed?" asked Luke.

"Yes. He has a chess game scheduled for tomorrow. That’s why he agreed to rest at this hour," Luca

replied helplessly. She glanced back at Luke and added, "If you had played chess with Old Master

Crawford, he wouldn't have asked me to play with him for half the evening."

Luke chuckled. He knew that in any other situation, Old Master Crawford would not choose to play

chess with Mr. Griffin.

It was usually Mr. Griffin who accompanied the old master to play chess, so the old man would

definitely make anyone else play with him if given the chance.

"I'll go freshen up." Luca noticed that Luke had already changed into pajamas and assumed that he

had already taken a shower. She took her clothes and headed into the bathroom.



After washing up, she walked out of the bathroom and sat in front of the dressing table, where her

skincare products were neatly arranged.

Luke watched her from behind, and a burning desire surged in his heart.

Luca was applying the skincare products on her face in front of the mirror.

Time had been kind to her.

While most people would leave traces of time on their faces after getting married and having children,

Luca's complexion remained remarkably youthful.

Perhaps it was the credit of that doctor from the Island of Despair, but she appeared immune to the

typical signs of aging.

After applying the skincare products, Luca turned to look at Luke. She noticed his gaze fixed on her—

intense and passionate.

They had been together for years. How could she not understand the meaning behind that look? Luca

shook her head and pointed at the bedroom door, reminding him of the person in the adjacent room.

She said, "Old Master Crawford is sleeping in the room opposite us."

"I know." After Luke finished his sentence, he swallowed his saliva, and his alluring Adam's apple rolled

seductively.

Suddenly, Luca felt her cheeks inexplicably heating up.

It was hot. The warmth seemed to have spread to her earlobes.

It was just a simple movement of his Adam's apple, something she would not usually find noteworthy.

However, it became unexpectedly seductive under Luke's gaze.



"Luca..." Luke's voice also became husky with desire burning within him. He reminded her, "The

soundproofing here is good enough. Grandpa won’t hear anything."

Luca was stunned for a moment. Her breathing quickened involuntarily.

Yes, the soundproofing here was indeed well done. However, she quickly came back to her senses.

Good soundproofing was one thing, but Old Master Crawford staying in the room opposite was another.

What if he needed something or could not sleep later?

In a quiet environment, even the slightest sound could be magnified countless times by one's

heightened sense of hearing.

Luca was enchanted by Luke's actions, but she still insisted and shook her head. "No, not tonight. Old

Master Crawford is right across from us. I don’t think it’s a good idea."

However, Luke seemed to pay no attention to her objections and got out of bed.

As Luca stared at him, he walked toward her and slightly bent down. He lifted her up in his arms.

Luca instinctively wanted to scream but suddenly remembered that Old Master Crawford was right

across from them. Hence, she covered her mouth, turning the scream into a muffled sound.

Luke let out a soft chuckle and said, "It's fine. Grandpa can't hear us."

Even if Old Master Crawford did hear something, he would pretend not to.

Old Master Crawford knew how to create opportunities for young people. He could easily turn a blind

eye in a situation where there was a possibility of gaining another great-grandchild.

Luca’s face reddened as she gently tapped on Luke’s chest.



He gently laid her on the bed and leaned in.

Luca helplessly covered her own mouth again.

He gently moved her hand aside, sealing the moment with a deep, passionate kiss that fell like a

whisper.

When Luca woke up the following day, Luke was already up.

After freshening up, she hurried downstairs. Old Master Crawford was already sitting on the sofa,

reading the morning paper.

Luca recalled what happened last night. She was worried that Old Master Crawford might have heard

something. Hence, she felt a bit guilty when she saw him.

It reminded her of those high school days when meeting a teacher unexpectedly sent shivers down the

spine of teenagers engaged in their secret romances. It was the fear of getting caught red-handed.

"Luca, you're up." Old Master Crawford heard the footsteps and glanced at the staircase. When he

realized it was Luca, he cheerfully greeted her, "Did you sleep well last night?"
