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

Chapter 3303 We've Gone Our Separate Ways Gordan decided to stay after thinking about it. He felt like he was making a bold choice.

He headed upstairs to join Luke and Gale for their meeting.

Luca stepped out of the storage room, and by then, Gordan had already gone upstairs. She shook her head helplessly, knowing that things would turn tense once Vivian arrived.

She really could not talk to Vivian about Gordan right now, or else it might lead to a misunderstanding. Luca carried the herbs and walked into the kitchen.

Aunt Neile was making soup. When she saw the herbs in Luca's hands, she asked, "Ms. Craw, are you brewing herbal medicine for Mr. Norton?" "Yes." Luca gave the herbs a quick rinse, placed them in the electric herbal pot, then set the timer. She would not need to worry about it for a while now.

"Poor Mr. Norton, going through painful dry needling treatment and now having to drink such bitter medicine." Even though Aunt Neile sounded sympathetic, there was a mischievous smile at the corners of her mouth.

Luca was puzzled as she asked, "How do you know?" "I heard him yelling in pain earlier! If someone like Mr. Norton is making noise from the pain, it must be really bad," Aunt Neile speculated.

Luca nodded. It probably did hurt a lot.

After all, the acupoints used for physical therapy were different from those for general health maintenance. When treating the elderly, the treatment did not hurt much, but physical therapy was a whole different story. Luca had tried it on the Island of Despair before, and it really was painful.

"Physical therapy is for his own good," Luca said calmly. Then, she asked Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, could you helpout? When there's about half an hour left, could you add these herbs too?" She pointed at the herbs she had not put in yet.

"Of course, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile noted down the instructions.

Luca nodded and returned to the living room to check the emails Rhett had sent over the past couple of days. They were all lab data, and she reviewed them one by one. About 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Luca walked to the intercom. It was Vivian.

She pressed the button to unlock the door.

Five minutes later, Vivian and Rhett walked in.

It was Rhett's first tat Luca's place, and he was visibly shocked by how luxurious was.

"Luca, I'm here!" Vivian said cheerfully. She was clearly in a good mood.

Luca stood up with a smile to greet her, "Welcome!" Rhett handed the documents he was holding to Luca. "Dr. Craw, these are the teaching materials and scompany documents." "Thank you." Luca took the papers. "Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?" Rhett quickly declined. "Thank you, Dr. Craw, but I have other plans..." "Alright, I won't force you," replied Luca. She was just being polite anyway. After all, Luke was still here.

If Rhett saw them living together, even though he was not the type to gossip, one could never tell what would happen. What if he accidentally mentioned it at the company? Hence, after Rhett politely declined, Luca did not insist.

"Dr. Craw, I should be..." Before Rhett could finish his sentence, Gordan's voice echoed from the staircase. "Dr. Craw, can I have a glass of juice?" Vivian froze for a moment. That voice...

Her brows furrowed together. Why was Gordan here? Luca noticed the change in Vivian's expression. She was planning to tell Vivian about this after Rhett left.

Who knew Gordan would cdown before that? Could it be a coincidence? Luca strongly suspected Gordan did this on purpose! "Sure," Luca replied in a faint voice.

However, Gordan did not just leave it at that. He walked right over to Luca, stood next to her, and stared intently at both Vivian and Rhett.

Then, he flashed a grin, "A new boyfriend?" Vivian felt a wave of irritation wash over her. His tone was mocking, as though he was ridiculing the idea that she could ever find a new man. His words were filled with disdain and sarcasm.

The way he spoke made her extremely uncomfortable. If she knew Rhett better, she might have even nodded. Everyone had their pride...

Even though she was not beautiful, that was not a crime, and she definitely did not need to feel inferior in front of Gordan.

Luca quickly intervened, "This is my assistant. He's just dropping off sdocuments." "Oh! So he's your assistant," Gordan replied with a long, drawn-out laugh. "I knew it. This gentleman looks too sharp to have such poor taste!" "Mr. Norton!" Luca frowned. Vivian and Gordan's relationship was over, so there was no need for this constant mockery! "The juice is in the kitchen!" Gordan shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Rhett. Then, he shifted his gaze back to Vivian. "Okay. But you know, Dr. Craw, speople are best avoided because getting close to them only brings bad luck." "What do you mean by that, Gordan?" Vivian had initially intended to ignore him, out of respect for Luca and Luke.

However, his words were too much. She could not hold back anymore and confronted him directly.

"When was there ever a day I didn't have bruises all over me?" questioned Gordan. His tone was full of bitterness.

Whenever Vivian was upset, he would get beaten up by Ray's subordinates.

Being bruised and battered was a regular occurrence. As a man, the years he was trapped by Vivian stripped him of any dignity.

Vivian hesitated for a moment, knowing he was holding onto resentment. He had taken quite a few beatings because of her over the years.

However, had they not already gone their separate ways? Why would Gordan not just let her go?! As these thoughts ran through Vivian's mind, her eyes reddened. She hated that she could not stand up to Gordan, especially in front of so many people.

Luca cleared her throat and said, "Rhett, you may head back now." "O-Okay!" Rhett quickly turned and hurried out. The scene he had just witnessed was like a battlefield.

It was absolutely terrifying! After Rhett left, Luca frowned and said, "Mr. Norton, if you want something to drink, go get it from the kitchen. Anything else?" Gordan knew Luca was upset.

Every the encountered Vivian, he could not control the resentment that boiled up inside him, which was why he ended up confronting her like that.

However, he was not usually like this.

If he held a grudge against someone, his usual approach would be to fight it out, and it would be over. Win or lose, he would accept the outcand move on.

However, with Vivian, fighting was not an option. Instead, he would stand in front of her, picking fights and saying the harshest things he could think of.

Luca noticed that he was not moving and frowned deeper. "Is there anything else you need?" Gordan felt irritated Heran a hand through his hair and muttered, "No." Without another word, he turned around and went upstairs, skipping the kitchen entirely. Luca took Vivian's hand and led her to the living room to sit down.

"I'll get you swater." After Vivian sat down, Luca walked into the kitchen. Even though she said she NO was getting a glass of water, she also prepared juice, leaving it up to Vivian to choose what she wanted to drink.

At the stime, she asked Aunt Neile to brew a pot of coffee and send it upstairs. Luca returned to the living room with both water and juice, placing them on the coffee table.

Then, she finally explained, "Mr.

Norton was already here before you called." Vivian moved her lips as though to voice her thoughts, but she remained silent. "You wanted to ask why I didn't tell you, right?" Luca could guess the words Vivian could not bring herself to say.
