Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2993

"You kept staring at her just now." Yuri's tone was a bit sour. When they sat on the sofa, she went along with Louis, but she believed her observations were sharp.

Louis sensed Yuri's jealousy and replied helplessly, "I don't have any intentions like that. Making eye contact while speaking is simply a polite gesture. Besides, Ms. Craw is my brother's woman. What kind of thoughts are in your head?"

Yuri gave a little scoff under her breath. "Yes, Bianca went abroad, and this woman took her place right away. She's got spretty cunning moves."

Yuri knew that Louis used to be a playboy before he got married, but he toned it down after marriage.

However, she was always worried and observant because of his past. Whenever she noticed that he was looking at other women for too long, she could not help but feel sour.

Even in a situation like just now, with Luca being Luke’s mistress, she still could not help but feel jealous.

Louis furrowed his brows when he heard what Yuri said. It sounded dangerous.

If she insisted on being hostile to Luca out of jealousy, their relationship might be ruined after Luca’s situation was resolved.

"Let’s stop talking about Brother's matters." Louis could not tell her that Luca’s true identity was Bianca. He could only advise her.

However, Yuri could not help but feel a twinge of bitterness as she listened to what he said. She felt like he was speaking up for Luca.

"I told you before. If she's able to seduce Brother, she's no ordinary woman. Even the typical rich kids don't meet her standards. Be careful and don't get ahead of yourself,” warned Yuri.

She knew that even if Louis was a playboy, he would never mess with Luke's woman.

Still, she could not help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Louis slammed on the brakes.

Yuri, who was not paying attention, lurched forward, and then fell back onto the seat. "Are you crazy?

Why did you slam on the brakes for no reason?"

"You've been going on about this the entire way. Why's the green-eyed monster so strong in women? You're saying I have intentions? What exactly do you think I'm up to? Tell me." Louis' face turned dark. He was not usually short-tempered. He usually let things go after explaining once or twice.

However, Yuri stubbornly kept the topic on Luca.

He could not understand why Yuri was so jealous or what benefit there was for their family if she turned against Luca.

After all, they already had their own families. Even though Luke and he were brothers, after starting their own lives, they were not as close as they were before. Therefore, he was afraid that Yuri would pick a fight for no reason.

The streetlights shone on the car's windshield, letting in a bit of light. Even though it was unclear, Yuri could feel his face darkening. She wanted to say something more, but judging from her past experiences, they would likely argue all the way back hif she continued.

Her parents were generally satisfied with Louis as their son-in-law. Even when the couple argued, they sided with Louis. If they really argued and went hlike this, she would probably be lectured by her parents.

Yuri suppressed the urge to cause trouble unreasonably. She looked out of the car window. When it was tto concede, she still knew how to give in. Thus, she said, "I'm not trying to cause trouble. It's just because I care about you too much."

Louis let out a sigh helplessly. What she said about caring too much made it difficult for him to say anything.

He started the car engine and replied, “Cut out those messy thoughts."

"Do you think I want this? It's all because of Mother. Look, she keeps bringing up Brother and Luca's matter these days. It's makingso sensitive. Otherwise, I wouldn't have started thinking in that direction." Yuri brought up Susan, a move that always worked.

Susan had been constantly talking about Luke and Luca's affair recently. Louis was well aware of it.

He had talked to her a couple of times, but Susan never listened. Therefore, he gave up.

Louis continued driving toward the Dunn family's place. At the thought of the conversation with Luke just now, he said, "When Brother offered us a thousand dollars to rent the place, you didn't hesitate to snatch it up. Isn't that crossing the line a little?”

"I knew you were embarrassed. That's why I answered him. Do you think Brother needs to collect rental fees? He's got so many properties, and I've never seen him rent one out to anyone. Those places are just sitting empty.

"He just wants to help us. If it wasn't because of your pride, he might have just handed us the house directly."

Yuri was not shallow-minded either. She did not care much about an apartment unit. Otherwise, when Louis sold the houses to gather startup capital, she would definitely have had something to say.

However, she did not care about these things back then, and she cared even less now.

It was a goodwill gesture from Luke. He was worried about hurting Louis' pride. That was why he brought up the rent.

A thousand dollars was not much. Yuri did not want to see the brothers pushing each other away. Therefore, she agreed to it. "Both of you are siblings, after all. You're not at a negotiation table. Brother set a condition, so just agree to it."

Louis was rendered speechless by her words. Of course, he knew Luke was not concerned about that thousand dollars in rent.

Louis sighed at the thought of Luke helping him. He replied "Alright. I won't go to the office tomorrow.

We'll move in right away. Don't bring the clothes from the villa. Take the ones from Crawford Manor.

Wait a couple of days until Mom's cooled off a bit, then go back and bring the clothes over."

"Why should I go?" Yuri did not want to run into Susan's line of fire.

"Won't it make her even angrier if I go back?" Louis did not want to go either. If Yuri went back, she could say a few kind words to calm her down. If he went back, Susan's anger that had finally settled would blow up again

"Fine. She's your mother, but you don't even dare to face her and you wantto face her. Let's wait until next week. Luckily, I've already sent Thea's school supplies to my parents' place yesterday, so there's no need to go back and get them." Yuri's words were filled with reluctance.

After all, Susan could be terrifying when angry. As her daughter-in-law, Yuri dared not to approach her when she was in a bad mood to avoid being scolded.

Susan was dissatisfied with her because she had not given birth to a second child these years. Every tshe got angry with Louis, Yuri might end up being scolded as well if she said a few words.

Yuri felt helpless. It was not that she did not want a second child. Louis felt it was not the right time.

Thea's situation was not that good either. It was not the right tfor them to get a second child.

After all, if they really had a second child, they would undoubtedly focus all their energy on the newborn, and the elder one would naturally be neglected.

That would not be good for Thea's mental health.

Yuri knew her daughter's situation. That was why she agreed with Louis and put the plan for a second child on hold.

However, Susan could not be bothered about it. She insisted on them having a second child. She claimed that if they did, she was willing to wholeheartedly take care of the younger one, and Thea could still stay with them.

Whenever she was in a bad mood or when she argued with Louis, she would bring up the topic of having a second child about 80% of the time.

That was why Yuri did not want to touch Susan's nerves.
