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

Chapter 3356 How Could My Real Feelings Be Anything Less Than Genuine?

Luca tried to keep talking, but she could not hold it in any longer and broke down crying.

Just thinking about her child still being in Abel's hands made her heart ache, and she cried even harder. The

thought of all the things Luke had done for her in secret pained her even more.

Luke had not done anything wrong, but it hurt that he had done so much and never told her. Luca knew he

meant well. He wanted to shield her from worry.

However, when it cto something like this, she was involved too and could have helped. Yet Luke did

everything on his own, keeping her in the dark for her own good, and that hurt her deeply.

Luca felt helpless. It seemed he still saw her as someone fragile.

It pained her that she could not do anything to help and that Luke had to shoulder everything alone.

When he saw her tears, Luke knew he had made a mistake by hiding the truth. She wanted to stand by his side

through it all, but he had only thought of protecting her.

When it cto the issue of the Island of Despair, they were not on the spage.

The things he did to protect her did not always feel that way to her.

Luke took the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry. | just wanted you to feel more at ease, which is why | didn't tell

you."

Luca began crying even harder.

Luke, now panicked, grabbed tissues from the coffee table and gently wiped away her tears. Each tear that fell

from her eyes landed heavily on his heart, tearing it into pieces.

"Luca, please don't cry. Watching you cry breaks my heart," Luke soothed her in a gentle voice. Her cries swept

through him, turning his once unbreakable resolve into something achingly tender and soft.

Watching her eyes swell and redden, he wished he could cry in her place.

"You did it for my sake." Luca choked out between sobs. "But | care about our child too."

"I know. | was wrong." Luke surrendered, apologizing again. "I thought this would make things a little easier for

you."

"Only knowing that our child is safe would makefeel at ease." Luca continued sobbing.

If he had told her about all this sooner, she would not have been so frightened and caught off guard by Abel.

Even her dignity had been stripped away. Her child was her weakness, and Abel knew it all too well. He was

using it to crush her.

"Alright, alright, | get it. From now on, | won't keep anything from you," promised Luke. His heart was breaking as

he listened to her cries. "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. This is tearingapart."

Luca sniffled, listening to his promise. After a while, she pushed him away and took a tissue to wipe her own

eyes.

"It's all your fault," said Luca. "If you'd toldsooner, | wouldn't have been so terrified." "It's all my fault," Luke

admitted in a low voice. "lI was wrong."

"Yes, you were. | tell you everything, yet you don't tellanything about what you're doing. Do you think I'm

useless? That | can't save our child?" Luca's eyes were still red.

She thought about the three years she had spent on the Island of Despair and how she had grown stronger. At

least now, she was no longer a burden to him. "Luke, I'm capable now. | won't hold you back. How could you..."

Then, she felt wronged all over again and was about to cry.

Luke's heart ached as he listened to her accusations. Everything he had done had a simple goal, and it was to

protect her.

"That's not what | meant," replied Luke, worried that she would misunderstand. He fumbled to wipe the tears

from her face again. "Alright, | promise you, from now on, I'll reach out to you first whenever anything happens."

"From now on, whatever happens, we face it together." Luca still was not satisfied and pressed him for more

assurance.

"Alright, | promise. I'll face it with you no matter what. | won't handle things on my own." Knowing what she truly

wanted, Luke had no choice but to agree.

Otherwise, she would cry even more.

Luke could not bear to see her tears. They broke his heart every time.

When he saw her still crying, he cupped her face and said in a helpless tone, "Luca, do | need to put it in writing

to stop the tears?"

A soft laugh slipped from Luca's lips,

Luke let out a sigh of relief when she stopped crying and gently kissed her forehead.

"You..." She had Luke completely at a loss. "Since you cback, | haven't seen you cry once. | thought you had

toughened up, but | guess you're still my little crybaby."

He playfully tapped her nose.

"I don't cry as much anymore," replied Luca. "But | was really scared today. And when you toldeverything, |

just felt... so helpless."

"Alright, let's not talk about it. Look, your eyes are all red." Luke felt helpless. He let her go

and pressed the intercom. "Jason, bring two ice packs in here."

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, Jason walked in with the ice packs. He paused at the sight of Luca's red, puffy eyes, quickly

handed the ice packs to Luke, and immediately left. He dared not to

linger and risk his boss" displeasure.

When the office door closed, Luca could not help but giggle.

"Am | that scary?" asked Luca in a soft voice.

"Of course not." Luke went to the lounge, took out a towel, and wrapped it around the ice pack to protect her

skin.

Luca followed him, watching as he wrapped the pack before gently placing it over her eyes.

She closed her eyes obediently and chuckled. "Jason looked atlike | was something out of a horror movie. He

practically ran out of here!"

"He was just afraid of me." Luke held the towel against her skin carefully, treating her like the rarest treasure.

The coolness soothed the puffiness and redness from all her crying, making her feel much better. "I've never

thought you were scary," murmured Luca.

"Then what do you think of me?" Luke glanced at her, eyeing her rosy lips and feeling a sudden urge to kiss her

on the lips.

However, with a major meeting coming up in half an hour, he could not delay it just to steal

a moment with her.

He sighed with frustration. He was the boss, yet his schedule was so jam-packed that he could not make time.

Luca pondered for a moment, a soft smile curving her lips. "You... You're the man | love

most in the world."

"That answer feels a little half-hearted," Luke's smile mirrored hers. His usually serious face softened. It was

warm like a spring breeze.

"I mean every word. How could my real feelings be anything less than genuine?" Luca protested. Just then, she

felt the ice pack lift from her eyelids, and when she opened her

eyes, Luke's lips were already pressing down onto hers.

"Mhm..."

The kiss cunexpectedly, sweeping over her like a powerful wave.

Their lips lingered together as they poured out their love for each other. His passion nearly overwhelmed her.

Luke's embrace tightened, as though it was driven by an intense desire to fuse Luca into his

very soul.
