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

Chapter 989 He Could Not Be Back On Time

After they were done with groceries, Bianca drove Nina home. She planned to cook, so she parked the car in the

villa.

Nina got out of the car and stared at the Maserati in a daze.

"Nina, what's the matter?" Bianca also noticed the Maserati, which she knew was not Nina's car.

Nina had a complicated look on her face. "He's here." "Who?" Bianca was puzzled and glanced at the numbers on

the license plate. The license plate ended with three eights. The person who owned the car was well to do. Bianca

immediately knew who the car belonged to.

Percy Mallory.

"Master Percy of the Mallory family." Nina retracted her gaze. Percy had not called her for a while. She thought that

he had gotten bored with her and did not expect him to appear out of the blue.

Percy treated her place like a hotel. He came and left as he pleased.

Bianca frowned, grabbed the groceries, and held Nina's hand. "Don't be afraid, I’ll go in with you."

Nina smiled gratefully at Bianca. She was not afraid, but considering her recent encounter with Pierre, she did not

want to deal with Percy.

The brothers looked similar, and she would think of Pierre when she saw him.

The two went into the living room and saw Percy sitting on the sofa. He had opened a bottle of red wine and was

tasting it alone.

"Where did you go?" Percy raised her eyebrows when he saw Bianca next to Nina.

'When did she get hurt?' He noticed at first glance that her forehead was bandaged. He felt inexplicably unhappy.

"I just came back from the hospital." Nina was expressionless as she turned to Bianca and said, ' Bea, please put

the groceries in the refrigerator. I'll cook for myself later."

Bianca was stunned. She wanted to say something so she could stay with Nina a little longer.

Before she could, Percy said, "Mrs. Crawford, I have something to discuss with Nina. Please allow us some privacy."

Bianca took a look at Percy. Even though he knew that Nina was injured, histone and expression were neutral.

There was no doubt that he had no love for her. He was nothing but a philanderer!

Nina knew that Percy would not have visited if he had no motive. She let go of Bianca's hand and said, "Bea, let me

know when you're home."

Bianca knew it was not her place to insist on staying. She placed the groceries in the refrigerator, took out Nina's

medicine from her bag, and put it in her hand. "Make sure you take this on time." "Thanks, Bea." Nina smiled

gratefully.

Bianca was still feeling uneasy, so she said, "If you need anything, please call me immediately." "I will. Let me know

when you're home." Nina escorted Bianca out of the living room. After she walked Bianca out, she turned around

and looked at Percy, who was enjoying his wine on the sofa. She felt a sense of despair.

She knew exactly when Pierre was in a bad mood.

When Percy was in a bad mood, his expression would remain calm and cold. No one would be able to guess what

he was thinking about at that moment.

However, he was swaying his glass now. She thought that perhaps he was in a good mood.

Nina walked over and glanced at the red wine on the coffee table. Percy had brought over the bottle.

He would occasionally bring some personal belongings, but she was not allowed to touch or use the things he

brought. That had always been the case.

Take, for example, the bottle of red wine that he brought. It would be finished by him alone. He would never share it

with her. Similarly, he would not touch the bottles of wine she bought.

Nina tried to manage the disappointment she felt. She was unwilling to show vulnerability in front of this man. Nina

asked Percy, "When did you come back?" "Today." Percy took a sip of his wine, the corners of his mouth stained with

a coquettish red, making him look like Satan.

"Mm." Nina sat on the single sofa.

"How did you get hurt?" Percy asked. He felt inexplicably unhappy looking at the injury on her forehead. He felt the

sensation of being pricked by pins and needles. He could not ignore it despite trying his best.

"I accidentally hit the wall." Nina did not tell him that Anna was hospitalized. She knew that even if she told him, it

would not arouse any sympathy nor would he feel inclined to help out. He might even ridicule her for being useless.

Percy listened to her flat tone. She was calm as though nothing significant had happened.

'If nothing is going on, why were you in the hospital for several days?’

He was on a business trip abroad for the last couple of days, and he deliberately did not reach out to Nina. He did

not expect not to hear from her throughout the time he was gone. 'Am I dispensable to her?'

Percy got irritated the more he thought about it. He did not show it on his face. He raised his chin, finished his wine,

and took off his jacket.

Nina felt more sorrowful when she saw his actions. She thought that he was not at all considerate of her even when

she was in a state like this. All that he cared about was getting her in bed.

"Come here." Percy was irritable and wanted nothing but to possess her.

Nina stood up and walked over numbly. At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was not his lover. He owed

her nothing and did not have to be sympathetic.

She reminded herself to be mindful of who she was to him.

Nina walked up to him and took off her coat with a numb expression.

When Bianca left Nina's house, she was worried sick. She parked the car on the side of the road and stayed there.

She thought that if Nina needed her, she could be there for her immediately.

Her phone rang.

Bianca immediately picked it up thinking that it was Nina but it turned out to be Luke calling from overseas.

She answered the call. "Luke, are you done with work?"

It was nine o'clock in the evening on Luke's side. It had been the same for the past few days. They would talk on the

phone after he was done with work. It was their way of easing their lovesickness.

"My love, turn on the camera and let me take a good look at you." Luke's voice came from the other side of the

phone.

Bianca immediately turned on the camera.

Luke glanced at her background and noticed that she was not in the office but in the car. He asked, "You're not in

the office?" "Nina was discharged from the hospital today. I just dropped her home." Bianca did not want to mention

too much about what had happened in the hospital. She laid on the steering wheel and looked at Luke, asking, "Why

did you finish work so early today?" "There wasn't much to do today." Luke noticed her swollen eyes and asked,

"Were you crying?" "No." Bianca noticed that her eyes were red. It must have been when she was comforting Nina

in the hospital. She could not help crying the entire time.

"I stayed up all night yesterday to review some projects, I didn't get enough rest." She gave an excuse.

Luke knew that she was tired of taking care of their three children while working. He said sincerely, "My love, thank

you for your hard work." "I'm fine. When will you be done with your work?" Bianca asked. Half a week had passed

and he was still occupied with work.

"It may be another three or four days," Luke explained, "Things here are more complicated than I initially

expected."

Bianca was upset when she found out that he could not be back on time, but she was considerate and said, "No

matter how busy you are at work, you should eat on time and take a good rest. Promise?"
