Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2938

Luke saw the tears in her eyes. He knew she was worried about Queenie.

He secretly let out a sigh. She was so worried about Queenie, but she still refused to reveal the truth. What did the Island of Despair have on her to make her guard this secret?

"I'll do my best to minimize the harm from the outside world," Luke reassured her. He wanted to shout to the world that Luca was his beloved wife, but the threat of the Island of Despair loomed, preventing him from doing so.

"I believe you, but the most important thing is to comfort Mrs. Norman's emotions. I don't want her to have any problems because of this," replied Luca, continuing showing her concern for Queenie in front of him.

"Okay." Luke leaned forward and looked into her teary eyes. He wanted to pull her into his arms.

Before he could do so, a tender voice suddenly interrupted their moment.

"Daddy, Ms. Luca, I want swater," Tommy's voice cfrom the kitchen door.

Luke's hand froze in the air as he turned to look at his younger son, who was walking toward them with short little legs.

Luca glanced at the child and nodded. She poured a glass of warm water for him.

Tommy was thirsty. He gulped down the water and asked, "Has Grandma Susan left?"

"Yes, she's gone," answered Luca as she patted the child's head. "Do you want smore?"

"No. Thank you, Ms. Luca." Tommy handed her the empty cup.

"Did you finish watching your cartoons?" asked Luke in a slightly displeased tone as he looked at his son, who was smiling and taking pleasure in Luca's gentle touch.

Judging from the child's personality, if he had not finished watching his cartoons, he would not have moved from his spot even if he was thirsty. He could endure until the end of the show. He was a true animation enthusiast.

"Yes, I've finished watching!" Tommy nodded and held Luca's hand, asking with concern, "Ms. Luca, Grandma Susan didn't bully you, did she?"

"No. Thanks for your concern, Tommy." Luca pinched her younger son's cheek and added, "Besides, I can protect you guys. Most people can't mess with me."

"Even if someone bullies her, she has me. No one can bully her," Luke chimed in grumpily.

He should not have brought Tommy back. He had just returned, and he was already causing trouble...

If Luke had been able to embrace Luca just now and comfort her in a gentle tone, perhaps he could have lifted her spirits a bit. Then, he could have applied a stronger remedy...

However, all of his plans had been ruined by Tommy.

Tommy, who had unwittingly disrupted Luke's plans, nodded in agreement. "Yes, if anyone bullies Ms. Luca, Daddy and Lanie will protect her!"

Luca smiled gently. Realizing that it was getting late, she urged him, "Alright, it's getting late. Go upstairs, wash up, and rest early. I'll cto check on you later. If any of you haven't got in bed, you'll lose ten minutes of cartoon ttomorrow!"

Tommy's chubby face turned serious. The cartoon he was watching had reached an exciting part. He could not afford to miss ten minutes. Otherwise, he would miss a lot of the exciting plot!

"I'm going to wash up now, and I'll also make sure Lanie and Rainie do the same," said Tommy. Then, he made his way up the stairs.

"You always know how to deal with mischievous kids," remarked Luke as he watched the child leave from behind. He could not help but let out a sigh.

Earlier today, when he went back to Crawford Manor, Mr. Griffin mentioned that the kids were reluctant to go to bed every night.

It was only when Old Master Crawford urged them to sleep that they listened to him and went to bed.

Especially Tommy, who insisted on reading a bit more before sleeping.

Luke had been wondering why the kids behaved like this at Crawford Manor when they did not exhibit such behavior at home.

It seemed that with him and Luca taking care of them at home, the kids were much more obedient— even the mischievous Tommy.

The role of a mother was crucial in a child's upbringing.

“Kids are pretty easy to deal with,” said Luca. Tommy was her child. She could figure out what the kids needed and where they were most sensitive when she spent twith them.

Plus, their kids were not exactly the mischievous types. If she had a good chat with them and laid out the reasons, they would listen to her just fine.

Luke nodded in agreement, acknowledging that their kids were indeed outstanding.

"It's getting late. Let's go upstairs," suggested Luca, remembering that she had documents to handle.

"Sure." Luke nodded and held her hand as they made their way up the stairs.

As Luca watched their hands intertwine tightly over this brief distance and how tightly Luke was holding her, she found herself not wanting to let go.

When they reached the second floor's living room, they found that the cartoon had already ended. The kids were no longer sitting on the sofa watching TV. Instead, they had returned to their respective bedrooms to wash up and prepare to go to bed.

Luke was pleased to see that the kids were behaving as he had hoped, going to their rooms to sleep after washing up. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Luca, "I'll go handle work first."

"Alright." Luca nodded and returned to the master bedroom. She intended to wash up first and check on the children to ensure they had gone to bed.

Luke entered the bedroom and resumed the work that was interrupted earlier by Susan.

Meanwhile, Luca, after washing up, went out of the bedroom and opened the doors to the kid's rooms one by one to see if they were in bed.

Lanie and Tommy were already in bed. When Luca opened Rainie's bedroom door, she expected to find the most obedient one already asleep. However, to her surprise, Rainie was sitting at her desk with a table lamp on, holding a tablet in her hands.

"Rainie, why aren't you asleep yet?" Luca asked with concern when she saw the child was still sitting in front of the desk.

Rainie looked up. Her eyes were filled with worry. “Ms. Luca.”

"Yes?" Luca approached her and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Rainie handed her the tablet.

Luca glanced at the content on the tablet, which happened to show the rumors about her and Luke...

Luca slightly furrowed her brows. She had not been hiding the fact that she shared a bedroom with Luke in front of the children these days.

The kids had not said anything about it. They did not show any signs of rejection either.

Luca thought they had accepted it.

However, she was worried that Rainie might be feeling uncomfortable when she saw her expression.

Luca gently stroked Rainie's head and said, "I'm sorry..."

"Ms. Luca, you haven't done anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?" Rainie looked up at her. Her eyes were welled up with tears.

"Huh?" Luca was a bit puzzled by her words.

"Ms. Luca, you haven't done anything wrong at all. You and Daddy are doing just fine, so why did those reporters dig into your privacy? I hate those reporters!" said Rainie. Her tears trickled down like gentle raindrops.

Her delicate brows furrowed just like Luca's, indicating her disgust toward the reporters.
