Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Abel fell silent. Using Kassy for experiments? Absolutely not!

The thought that Luca might be doing things behind his back sparked a fierce determination in Abel's eyes. No matter what, he had to know if Luca was doing anything behind his back right now!

With this in mind, Abel put out his cigar and walked outside.

The venue's people were already ushering the crowd out at this moment. If he stayed here any longer, he would be kicked out soon.

When Shanks saw Abel leaving, he followed him and left too.

Indeed, Luca was doing things behind Abel's back.

When Luke's men discovered the fourth medicinal ingredient, she made a ruthless decision to have Warren inform them to purchase all of it from the herbalist.

However, they could not buy the herb under Luke's name. They had to set up a random company and purchase all of it on the spot and take it away.

Luke's men did exactly as she instructed.

Fortunately, the herbalist did not have much stock either—just a few pounds. Now, the fourth herb was in the trunk of Luke's car.

Since there were important herbs in the car, Warren sat in the car waiting for the rest to finish their meal when they went to have dinner.

After dinner, Luke asked Warren to send Evan back to the hotel first.

After Warren took Evan to the hotel, Luke gave him smoney to have a good meal himself. Then, he personally drove back to the Crawfords' ancestral hin X City.

Considering that Otto was around, Luca dared not to check the herbs that were in the trunk of the car in the garden. She could only pretend that there was nothing in the trunk.

She suppressed the slight excitement in her heart, greeted Otto, and made her way upstairs with Luke.

After they cupstairs, Luca closed the bedroom door.

Luke cover to check the bruise on her abdomen, but he heard her ask, "Is this really okay?"

"There won't be any problem," Luke replied affirmatively.

"But I'm still afraid..." Luca felt her heart beating rapidly, worried that something bad might happen.

Even though Abel did not have anyone watch over her today, he would surely be suspicious since the collection of herbs did not go smoothly today.

What if Abel suspected that she purchased the herbs and cto investigate? What should she do?

She had no idea if Abel would do such a thing.

The key was that all those medicinal herbs were in the trunk...

If Abel found out about it, Luke and Luca would be at risk of exposure.

"Don't be afraid." Luke let out a helpless sigh when he saw how significant was the psychological impact Abel had left on Luca. "I have a plan."

Luca's eyes flickered, and she asked eagerly. "What plan?"

"You'll know soon enough. Rest assured, I'll protect you and our child. Even if Abel sends someone here to investigate later, they won't find anything," Luke said confidently. He was even more concerned that Abel's men would not show up...

If Abel's men showed up, he would not mind getting rid of Abel's subordinates in X City.

Eliminating even one would significantly reduce their obstacles in the future.

Luke was patient in his actions. Even if the enemy still had his child, he could not afford to be anxious.

Anxiety led to mistakes, and he could not let his carefully laid plans be ruined by impatience.

"You're secretly arranging things again and not telling me." When Luca heard Luke say this, she knew he had arranged something. However, from the looks of it, he did not intend to tell her.

Even if she asked, Luke might not even tell her.

"Do you suspect Otto?" asked Luca. Abel could silently arrange for his subordinates to be around them.

Without careful observation, it would be difficult to detect any issues.

Otto was not someone who stayed with them constantly. If he was also Abel's subordinate, then they would be at a disadvantage...

"It's hard to say, but we'll know after tonight," replied Luke, brushing her long hair aside. "Go freshen up. It's still early, so why not take advantage of the tand get a little extra rest?"

"Okay." Luca sensed the implications in his words. Something might really happen tonight...

After Luca freshened up, Luke also went into the bathroom to freshen up.

Luca sat in front of the dressing table, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She was in a daze. She had not even considered the possibility of something going wrong tonight until she woke up this morning.

Whatever was going to happen later might be a minor clash between Luke and the Island of Despair.

She could feel her palms grow cold at the thought of this.

If something happened, she would be at risk of exposure.

Suddenly, Luca felt the urge to pray. She hoped that nothing would happen tonight...

However, things did not go as she wished...

After she dried her hair, Luke was done freshening up. It was just past nine at night, but both of them unconsciously prepared to lie down and rest.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Luke sat at the edge of the bed, showing no intention of getting up to open the door. He asked, "What is it?"

"Sir, it's me. I wanted to ask if you and Ms. Craw would like ssupper?" Otto's voice cfrom outside the door.

Luke and Luca exchanged a glance with each other. Then, Luke replied, "No need. We're tired today, and we’re planning to rest now. You should rest early too."

After two seconds, Otto, who was outside the door, responded, "Alright. Goodnight, Mr. Crawford."

After that, Luca heard the sound of footsteps fading away as someone left.

She turned to look at Luke and mouthed, "Something's wrong."

Luke nodded.

Otto was a butler trained in a professional butler course.

A professional butler like him would not cupstairs to disturb the master if there were no orders from the master, especially at night.

Not only did Otto cupstairs, but he also knocked on their bedroom door. At the thought of it, it did feel odd.

Something was definitely not right...

Luca felt she had reached a conclusion. Otto might be one of Abel’s subordinates.

Even if he was not one of them, his identity was highly suspicious.

The thought that he was working for Abel made Luca break out in a cold sweat. All the conversations she and Luke had had in the bedroom, as well as Luke's endearing nicknfor her, Bea...

What if Otto had installed slistening devices here...?

"Luke, could we have already been..." Luca could not continue.

Now that she was suspecting Otto to be Abel's subordinate, she was worried about how Abel would treat their daughter after learning she had already confessed her identity.

She could not help but tremble at the thought of this.

"There are no listening devices here." Luke knew what she was worried about.

Abel was a sensitive and suspicious person, but Luke was also a meticulous man.

He had already confirmed that there were no listening devices here, which was why he was confident enough to call her 'Bea'.

"Hmm?" Luca was surprised. No listening devices? Still, how could Luke be so sure?

After all, she was basically always with Luke. She had not seen him use any devices for detection...

Luke had not installed any signal jammers in this bedroom either because her phone signal was very good here, with full bars. At the stime, she could also send messages using data. It did not seem like there was any interference device.
