Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3260 Mr. Crawford, You're Way Too Full Of Yourself!

Luca had no idea that so many trivial things had happened after she left the base.

After she left the base, she finally managed to get a cab.

After getting in the car, she sent a message to Luke, letting him know she was on her way back.

As soon as she sent the message, Luke called her.

Luca answered.

"Everything okay?" Even though it was just two simple words, Luca could hear the concern in Luke's voice.

Luca replied, "I'm okay. Really, I'm fine. Everything's good. I'll give you the details when I get back."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you." Luke knew she had just left the base and did not offer to pick her up.

If there were people tailing her, picking her up would risk exposing that.

Therefore, after reminding Luca to stay safe, he ended the call.

Even though she was exhausted, Luca stuck to her original plan, changing to another car and continuing her journey back.

She wanted to cover her tracks. If she went straight back and there were any of Abel's men following her, they might report her whereabouts.

That could end up causing trouble for her.

It typically took about an hour to get from the suburbs to the city center.

However, since it was rush hour, it took nearly two hours for Luca to get back to the villa.

When she arrived at the villa, Luke cout to greet her, his hands resting on her shoulders as he checked her over.

After knowing that Luca was fine, Luke asked, "Are you really not hurt?"

Luca shook her head. "He just wantedto help with sresearch. There's no way he would've harmed me." "Research on those drugs?" asked Luke.

Luca nodded. "Yes, the drug research. Even though we bought up all the remaining herbs from the farmer, Shanks found more herbs in the mountains around X City. So now, he has a complete supply of herbs."

Luke furrowed his brows. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

Luca continued, "He's doing research in A City now. Since he's short on manpower, he askedto help. But I was just doing the basic tasks like preparing drug solutions; I'm not involved in the actual research. So, I still don't know what exactly he's researching."

She sounded a bit disheartened.

She spent the whole afternoon without gaining any new insights.

Luke kissed her forehead and comforted her, "You've worked hard."

Luca shook her head and voiced her concern. "But there's something I find particularly strange. The experimental equipment at the base is not as advanced as what's on the Island of Despair.

"Why would Shanks choose to do research in A City? Wouldn't it be better to do it back on the island? Even though there aren't many pharmaceutical experts on the Island of Despair, there are still more than in A City. It's really odd!"

Luke frowned, realizing that Luca had a point.

Better equipment usually meant faster and smoother research.

"Perhaps the experiment is specifically targeted at A City," suggested Luke.

Luca frowned. "I don't think so."

Luke waited for her to elaborate.

Luca explained, "Abel values this experiment highly, so the research must be important to him. If it were useful to Shanks, why didn't he head back to the Island of Despair to study it? He spends most of his tthere, after all." Luke nodded.

Luca added, "So there's something we don't know. If we can understand what Abel is planning, we might be able to figure out the nature of this research and whether it could endanger the city,"

This city was her home, so she needed to take it seriously.

Her partner, family, and kids are all here!

As soon as Luca finished speaking, her stomach growled.

Embarrassed, she patted her stomach and explained, "I haven't had dinner."

"They kept you busy for so long and didn't even feed you?" Luke frowned and took her hand, leading her to the dining area.

Luca explained, "Shanks didn't eat either, so I didn't want to bring it up. I didn't want to make things worse with Abel."

Luke felt sorry for her. "Luckily, I had Aunt Neile save you sfood. Sit down, and I'll heat it up for you."

She shook her head. "I'll handle it. You don't know how to use the kitchen appliances."

"Luca, are you underestimating me? I can use them. Just wait here," he replied, setting her down at the table before heading into the kitchen.

Even though he had not used the kitchen appliances before, he figured he could manage with the instructions. He cout with the food ten minutes later.

Luca gave him a thumbs-up when she saw the steaming dishes. "I didn't expect you, as someone who never cooks, to be so skilled with these appliances! Impressive!"

Luke placed the food in front of her. "Eat first. I'll check on the soup."

Luca nodded and picked up her cutlery.

She was really hungry and ate with little regard for manners.

When Luke cback with the soup, he saw her eating like this and frowned. "Did you skip lunch too?"

Luca thought for a moment and nodded. "Looks like I did. No wonder I'm so hungry!"

He shook his head. "You..."

She smiled cheerfully. "It's okay. My stomach's fine. I'm just making up for it now."

Luke was speechless. What could she do to make up for it?

His stomach was not great, and it was mostly due to working so much that he forgot to eat. He did not want Luca to end up like him.

Luke sat across from her, watching her eat and drink. He reminded her, "From now on, you need to have all threeNôvelDramacontent.

meals a day. Got it?"

"Got it. Today was just an abnormality. I usually eat regularly," replied Luca, feeling better after finishing her meal. Luke reached for the dishes, but she chimed in, "I'll clean up. You should go check on the kids and see if they're asleep."

Remembering that Tommy had been sneaking books and staying up recently, Luke nodded. "Just put everything in the sink. Aunt Neile will clean them up tomorrow."

"Okay," Luca agreed.

Luca tidied up the table and put the dishes in the kitchen sink before heading upstairs.

She ran into Luke, who had just finished checking on the kids. Then, she asked quietly, "Are the kids asleep?"

"Yes, they're asleep. Don't worry, it's not like they're always undisciplined," replied Luke as he opened the door to their bedroom.

Luca nodded in agreement. "I'm just worried that if we don't catch their occasional lapses in discipline, it might beca habit."

"That won't happen. Have sfaith in your kids. If you don't trust them, trust our genes. With genes like ours, how could they not be disciplined?" Luke was quite confident in his genetic heritage.

Luca gave him a skeptical look. "Mr. Crawford, you're way too full of yourself."

"Alright, enough teasing. Go wash up and get ssleep. You've had a long day," replied Luke, guiding her into the bedroom. "I've already laid out your pajamas. Just take a shower."

"Okay." Luca appreciated Luke's care and concern. She entered the bathroom, feeling exhausted and in need of

rest.

Working under Abel had been stressful, and she had maintained intense focus.

Once she let her guard down, she felt the full weight of her fatigue.
