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

After careful consideration, Susan indignantly put the teapot down.
Life flashed before the butler's eyes, and since Old Master Crawford had already gone upstairs with Luca, he asked, “Madam
Crawford, would you still like some tea?"
“No way. It's disgusting." Susan sat on the couch, slightly grim-faced.
She thought that after Biana and Allison were sent abroad, her days in Crawford Manor would be peaceful. Little did she know
that Luke would bring another woman back to infuriate her!
Mr. Griffin noticed that she was enraged but was not foolish enough to comfort her. Instead, he bent over to place the teapot and
teacups in the tray before leaving.
In the study.
Old Master Crawford pulled a chair out for Luca to sit down.
Luca sat on the chair. She looked at the old master and said, "Old Master Crawford, don't be angry."
"Is it that obvious?" Old Master Crawford touched his face. He was indeed angry at Susan's pettiness.
She had been the daughter-in-law of the Crawford family for decades and even had a grandchild. When she got angry, her
demeanor was nothing like how an elder in the Crawford family should behave.
If she had not given birth to Louis, she would have been kicked out by now.
"Your anger is written all over your face. Think about your health. You need to be less angry and smile more." Luca smiled gently.
"The older you get, the harder it is to smile." Old Master Crawford sat in the chair behind the desk and put his cane aside. "I
managed to live till this age. There's not much left in this world that I've not obtained or seen. Yet some people just love to make
me angry. What else can I do?"
"Look on the bright side. This time in your life is all about enjoying your blessings. Your grandchildren are all so filial, and your
great-grandchildren are so lovely. Aren't these worth being happy about?" Luca brought up his happiness.
Not many people had the things Old Master Crawford had.

Like her grandfather...
There was only Wanda around the old man now. She still kept him company despite being divorced. Wanda had always been a
decent woman. If she met someone she liked one day and got married again, the other family may not be able to accept the old
man.
Of course, if that time came, Luke would certainly make proper arrangements for the old man. However, living life in old age
without your grandchildren by your side would be very lonely.
Old Master Crawford saw the envy in her eyes and said with a sigh, “Everything you said just now is indeed something worth
being happy about. Only if Susan could just behave a little more, then I would be even happier."
"Old Master Crawford, it's not like she's the only one in your life. Find someone to play chess and go to the teahouse with, or
listen to opera music. Won't these be good enough?" said Luca. Susan was not Allison. Susan did not cause as much trouble as
she did.
When she caused trouble, it was mostly because she was upset with Luke and the people associated with him.
Without their presence, Susan would not upset the old master for no reason.
"You're right. Come, Luca. Take my pulse for me." Old Master Crawford rolled up his sleeve.
Luca nodded. She raised her hand and placed it on the old master's pulse.
Two minutes later, she withdrew her hand and gave the old master a brief check-up. Then, she asked, "How is your blood
pressure nowadays?"
"It's been under control. Mr. Griffin would take my blood pressure three times a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon,
and one at night. My blood pressure has been stable because I've been taking medicine regularly." Old Master Crawford replied.
His body had no problem at all, and he had been sleeping well too. He only said such words to make Luca come over.
"Your pulse is quite stable," said Luca. The old master's pulse was more stable than others of his age. After she married Luke,
she observed the old master's life habits.
She had also heard Luke talk about this. After the old master retired, he was very concerned about his own health, so he took
good care of his body.

Thus, it was only natural that he was healthier than others.
"Is that so? In fact, since the last time you found out that the herbs in the stew were problematic, I stopped using them. My body
felt a lot better, but there are still times when it's hard to sleep at night. In the end, I could only take sleeping pills, which the
doctor advised me not to take too much of— especially for the elderly like me with a slow metabolism. If I have too much of it, it
won't be good for my health," said Old Master Crawford who did not have trouble sleeping at all. These were all just excuses.
Luca was silent for a few seconds and asked again, "When you can't sleep, does your mind like to wander at night, or are you
just wide awake and not sleepy?"
"I felt sleepy before lying down, but after lying down, I think about things out of habit and I'm not sleepy anymore," said Old
Master Crawford. A good number of people his age had this insomnia problem, so he used this excuse to deceive Luca, thinking
it would definitely work.
Luca understood. "You're just overthinking. That's why you can't sleep. You don't need to take sleeping pills for this. You just
need to change this habit."
"How do I change it?" Old Master Crawford asked smoothly.
"For young people, I would suggest doing some exercises to tire their body. For older people, I can only tell you not to overthink.
If that doesn't work, you could listen to the sounds of nature. It'll help ease your mind," said Luca. She could not help much with
this as the old master's condition seemed to be caused by anxiety.
"Although the Crawford family looks incomparably well now, I still can't stop worrying—mainly about Luke. Although he already
has children, his life isn't complete yet. His wife is abroad right now and the two exist in name only. I'm worried that he'll end up
having to bring up three kids on his own. He'll be lonely even before he reaches old age. Luca, do you understand my worries?"
Old Master Crawford voiced his concern.
If it were other people, he probably would not be this worried. Besides, if one had just half the traits Luke had, they could easily
find a partner to spend their entire life with.
However, Luke was different.
His requirements for a partner were very strict. Perhaps it was not considered strict anymore...

For more than 30 years of his life, he seemed to have only liked one person—Bianca. Moreover, this crush started in high
school.
Even though he transferred to another school soon after, his feelings for Bianca never faded. Thus, Old Master Crawford once
thought that he would never look at anyone again.
It was rare to see him have the same feelings toward Luca, so Old Master Crawford thought of helping him. Otherwise, he would
not know when would be the next time Luke would find someone he liked.
“I understand.." Luca looked down. When Luke was mentioned, of course, she understood. However, what could be done about
it?
