Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1677

Luca blinked. She thought that it would take a lot of work to get Luke to share his worries with her. She did not expect to achieve her goal so easily.

Her few words made him admit that he was facing stroubles.

"What happened?" Luca continued to ask cautiously.

She was worried that Luke would be unhappy and stop sharing.

It was not that she wanted to spy on the secrets in his heart but she could not bear seeing Luke drinking to ease his worries.

Luke stared at Luca for a while.

Luca felt awkward. She almost thought that there was something on her face, or that he was confused from drinking and the alcohol got to his head, so he stopped talking.

Before she could speak, Luke said, "My mother... You've met her."

"Yes." When Allison was mentioned, Luca had a rough idea of what happened. She had heard that Allison was going to be released from prison but she did not ask in detail about when.

She knew that Allison should be getting out of prison soon seeing Luke's current state.

"The damage on her face is permanent and can't be fixed. If she were to spend a lifetin prison, she may be able to accept the fact. But she's going to be released next Monday. The lawyer calledto arrange for her release from prison." Luke sighed helplessly.

Luca nodded. She was not in the place to comment on this matter.

It was the first tshe had seen Luke so depressed since she returned to A City.

Luke could not ignore Allison because he still saw her as his mother. However, it was also because of this affection that it made his life difficult.

Someone like Allison, who cared about her image, would never accept that the wrinkles on her face could not be fixed.

"She'll move back to Crawford Manor. Once she moves back, Crawford Manor will have no peace. On my side..." Luke was helpless. On the one hand, was his affection for his mother, and on the other, were Allison's unreasonable demands.

It would be great if spending money could revert her appearance to before.

Luca listened to Luke's helpless tone and wanted to hug him...

However, she could not. At that moment, she was no one to him...

"Is it certain that your mother will move back to Crawford Manor?" Luca asked. If she moved back, it would result in a big fight between Allison and Susan that even Old Master Crawford could not quell.

She did not want to see that happen.

The fight between the two people would affect the living environment of their children.

What she hoped was that their three children could grow up in an environment full of family affection and kindness instead of cheating and lying. That would not set the best example.

"Yes." Luke confirmed.

The reason Allison moved out before was that she had taken his money.

Later, she relied on the company's shares and the pocket money he gave her to maintain her good life.

However, after she went to jail, everything changed.

The shares in her hands were still there and the dividends went into her bank account every year. However, considering her lavish lifestyle, it would not take long for her to squander the money.

Therefore, she would opt to go back to Crawford Manor so that she would not have to pay for the villa's expensive water and electricity bills while also being able to get everything she wanted when she asked for it. Although Susan was around, it was better than living a poor life outside.

With the current condition of her face, she would not dare to go out. Thus, she would naturally be more comfortable in Crawford Manor.

However, her comfort would bring the war to Crawford Manor.

Luke sighed again.

As he sat in front of the woman he loved the most, he did not want to pretend to be strong. That side of him was only for outsiders to see.

Luca could see the fragility he occasionally showed.

Hearing his sigh, Luca shook her head helplessly and said, "South Korea's plastic surgery technology is better than A City's. If you can't find a doctor here, you can ask Ms. Tanner to try seeking treatment in South Korea."

She knew that this was just a way to temporarily disengage Allison. After all, her face had to undergo a lot of surgeries. If she went proceeded with that suggestion, it would take a lot of time.

It could also bring stemporary peace to Crawford Manor.

"I'll think about it. I'm not going back tonight. I'll sleep here," Luke said. He missed her more than ever after a night of drinking.

Luca opened her mouth and wanted to say something when she heard him say, "I've had too much to drink. I'm surprised that I was able to drive here."

She was startled. 'Luke drove over by himself?'

She thought someone else had sent him here. She did not expect...

She broke into a cold sweat when she thought of him driving the car on the road alone after drinking. People who drank were slow to respond, and at the stime, they would pursue a sense of thrill.

Luca did not want to let him leave after she knew about that.

She glanced at the tand said, "You can sleep in the master bedroom tonight..."

Luke looked at her with blurry eyes. "What about you? Do you want to sleep beside me?"

There was steasing in his deep voice. Luca's face turned red. She did not know why Luke said such a thing, but he had been drinking, so she could not tell the truth from the fake.

"Mr. Crawford, don't joke around. It's more comfortable for you to sleep in the master bedroom after drinking. I'll just sleep in the maid's room," she said.

Luke took advantage of being drunk to make fun of her. Even though he was initially depressed, his bad mood was slowly dissipating upon seeing her.

"I'm not joking. How could the guest sleep in the master bedroom and shoo the tenant to the maid's room to sleep? The bed in the master bedroom is big enough.' Although he knew that Luca would not agree, he continued to tease her.

Luca stood up immediately. After being teased by him, she felt like she had a fever. Her face and ears were red.

"This apartment belongs to you, so the master bedroom is yours. It's getting late. I'll get you a fresh set of clothes. You can wash up and go to bed,” she said. She was about to go to the maid's room.

"Luca, since I drank, it's not convenient forto take a bath like this. Can you—"

Before Luke could continue, Luca turned her back to him and interrupted him, "If it's not convenient for you to take a shower, you can just lie on the bed in the clothes you're wearing now."

"I'll dirty your sheets." Luke's eyes flashed with amusement.

"It's alright. The hourly worker will cto clean up tomorrow. It won't be any trouble. Mr. Crawford, good night." Luca walked directly to the maid's room and closed the door.

He stared at the closed door of the room and put away his teasing expression. He was a little disappointed.

He longed for Luca and wanted more intimacy but she pushed him away.

‘Isn't her mission to get close to me?'

He had given her a chance just now. If she agreed, she would have gotten closer to him.
