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

“Is that so? Mrs. Tuffey doesn't look like that kind of person." Luca smiled. It would be inappropriate for her to show a cold
expression to the parent who was talking to her.
The parent shook her head and said, "Even though you don't think so, your child is still going to be the unlucky one."
After that, she turned around and raised her hand. She told the teacher that she would be responsible for the drinks needed for
the school outing.
"Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Blair." Mrs. Tuffey immediately recorded it down.
Another parent came walking in right after that. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Tuffey. I'm late."
"Hello, Mrs. Glisson. It's okay. Take a seat, please." Mrs. Tuffey smiled. Mrs. Glisson was always late for the parent-teacher
conference. Mrs. Tuffey had already gotten used to it.
She heard that Mrs. Glisson was engaged in international trade, and she was usually busy. It was not easy for her to make time
for her daughter's matters.
"Mommy, take a seat." Ashley let her mother sit on the chair. After her mother sat down, Ashley sat on the small bench.
"Nice to meet you." Mrs. Glisson noticed that it was no longer an old man who came to attend the parent-teacher conference
with Tommy this time. Hence, she nodded and greeted Luca.
"Nice to meet you," Luca nodded and greeted her too.
Ashley said to her mother in a soft voice, "Mommy, Mrs. Tuffey is talking about the school outing."
Mrs. Blair, who was sitting in front of them, heard her and turned around again. "Mrs. Glisson, Mrs.
Tuffey is writing down the names of parents sponsoring the kids' school outing."
"Really? Do they need anything else?" Mrs. Glisson immediately asked.
"Fruits, the expenses for the school bus, tent, and some other supplies."
"Thanks." Mrs. Glisson raised her hand and said, "Mrs. Tuffey, let me prepare some fruits for the kids."
"Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Glisson." Mrs. Tuffey heard her and recorded it down.

Mrs. Blair turned around and looked at Luca. "Are you really not sponsoring anything?"
Luca looked down, pretending not to hear what she said.
"You're putting the child in trouble." The parent could not help but feel anxious. She could not understand why it did not matter to
Luca.
Luca wanted to tell her that it was okay.
However, she would never understand what she meant. She could not be bothered to explain it to her either.
Mrs. Glisson could not help but size Luca up. Did she just mention that Luca was not sponsoring anything?
“Um, are you Tommy's mother?" asked Mrs. Glisson.
Before Luca could say anything, Ashley answered the question on her behalf. "She's Tommy's aunt."
"Oh, I see. It's your first time attending the parent-teacher conference, right? Listen, Mrs. Blair is right. You have to contribute
something. Otherwise, the teacher might have a problem with the child." Mrs. Glisson was kind enough to tell Luca about it.
Tommy and Ashley were good friends, after all. Ashley had told her what happened yesterday. That was why she was trying to
help Tommy.
"Tommy's father knows what to do." Luca shook her head. There was no need for her to intervene.
Although Mrs. Glisson was confused when she heard what Luca said, she did not say anything more about it.
Sponsorships were like donations. People did it voluntarily. There was nothing she could do about it if someone was reluctant to
do so.
Even though Mrs. Glisson had a great job, there was an income gap between her and the other parents in the classroom. Buying
fruits for every student in the class was already a big expense to her.
The children were used to having good food since they were young. The fruits she bought had to be the freshest and imported
ones. Hence, there was no way she could help Tommy.
Mrs. Glisson glanced at Tommy and saw him smiling brightly as though it was nothing to him. She could not help but shake her
head.

The kids should also know about this by now, but the child was still like that, and he did not tell the adult what to do. If things
went on like this, the child would not gain the teacher's favor, and he might be neglected.
After the parent-teacher conference ended, the children were allowed to leave school with their parents.
Luca informed Zander that she would send Tommy home herself, and he only had to pick Lanie and Rainie up. Then, she was
about to leave the classroom with Tommy.
Mrs. Tuffey came forward and stood in front of her. "Ms. Luca, do you have a moment?"
Mrs. Glisson held her daughter's hand and said, "Ashley, Tommy has something to do. Let's go." "Mommy..." Ashley refused to
leave. Her mother promised her that she would thank Tommy in person.
"Mrs. Tuffey is looking for Tommy. Be good. I'll prepare something for Tommy during the school outing to thank him." Mrs.
Glisson convinced her as they walked out of the classroom.
She thought Mrs. Tuffey came looking for Luca because she did not sponsor anything. Also, she was worried it would affect the
teacher's impression of her child if she was too close to Tommy. That was why she insisted on leaving in a hurry.
Luca understood why Mrs. Tuffey was looking for her.
She glanced at Charlie's parents, Myra and Brigham, who stood beside Mrs. Tuffey. Did they ask Mrs. Tuffey to convince her?
“Mrs. Tuffey, I'm sorry, but I've got work to do." Luca was not planning to give Myra and Brigham a chance.
Myra thought Luca was just an ordinary white-collared worker, which was why she displayed an arrogant and pushy attitude
previously.
Now that Myra knew who the child's father was, did she want to apologize and please Luca now?
Luca did not want to give them the chance to talk nonsense.
Everyone should learn to respect each other. No matter how poor or lacking in status one was, nobody should use that as an
excuse to discriminate.
After all, all human beings were born free and equal in dignity and rights.

Luca thought Myra should learn about this.
"Ms. Luca, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson only want to apologize to you sincerely. Both children are in the same class. They'll see each
other often in the future. Also, they'll be playing together. There's no need to make things worse," persuaded Mrs. Tuffey.
Although Mrs. Tuffey thought Myra had crossed the line yesterday, she had to speak up for them at the thought of them
sponsoring the lighting of the new academic building.
Otherwise, the principal would blame her if he found out about it.
Luca raised her brows and replied, "In the same class? Mrs. Tuffey, Mrs. Hudson told me that she'll tell the principal to kick
Tommy out of this school when we were outside the school yesterday."
The expression on Myra's face changed as Luca said that. Her face seemed to change colors, going from pale to red.
Brigham looked at his wife with an unbelievable look on his face. "Did you say something like that?"
"I didn't know who Tommy's father was..." Myra regretted it deeply. If she had known that Tommy's father was Luke Crawford,
she would not have dared to say something like that.
How embarrassing!
Who would the principal choose? Luke's child or Brigham's child?
"Well." Mrs. Tuffey was rendered speechless. She did not expect Myra to be that arrogant. "It was probably a joke.."
"Mrs. Tuffey, is this a joke to you?" Luca looked down and stroked the child's head. "Tommy is his parents' precious child. When
did he ever have to be wronged like this? Mrs. Tuffey, you're Tommy's homeroom teacher. You should be defending the child
who's been hurt, right?"
