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

"Alright," Aunt Neile replied as she carried two suitcases and headed upstairs.

Luca glanced at Luke and asked, "Are you going back to the office now?"

So much had happened these past few days, and Luke had not had much time to deal with T Corporation's documents. Although he had not mentioned it, she could guess that he must have accumulated a lot of paperwork by now.

"No, I'll stay upstairs to deal with some documents," replied Luke. He stroked Luca's head and added, "You've been riding in the car for so long. You must be tired. Get some rest. The kids will surely be all over you when they come back later."

"Alright." Luca smiled. After such a long journey by car, she was indeed tired. For some reason, unlike before when she would inevitably doze off during long bus rides, she did not feel sleepy at all on the way back today.

Perhaps it was because she knew that Abel would be coming to A City, which made her nervous...

That was the only reason Luca could think of. She could not think of any other reasons.

Luke held her hand as they made their way up the stairs.

When they reached the second floor, they encountered Aunt Neile.

Aunt Neile looked at the tightly clasped hands of the two of them. A smile appeared on her face. She secretly marveled at the strong bond between them.

Luca felt a bit embarrassed while Aunt Neile stared at them. She lightly loosened her grip on Luke's hand and earnestly reminded Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, please inform me when the kids come back from school, okay?"

"Of course. You can count on me," replied Aunt Neile.

Luca smiled and walked into the bedroom, intending to rest for a while.

Luke instructed Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, please make me a cup of coffee and bring it up here."

"Of course, sir," replied Aunt Neile. When she heard Luke ask for a cup of coffee, she knew he was going to work again. She could not help but sigh at Luke's hard work.

He just came back from a business trip and was already diving back into work. Luca did not immediately go to sleep when she returned to the bedroom.

Instead, she picked out all of Luke's and her clothes that needed to be washed. Although their undergarments had already been washed when they changed earlier that day, she could not help but feel uncomfortable knowing that Stan had been watching them.

Hence, she washed them again and then put them in the dedicated dryer for disinfection.

After sorting out the clothes to be washed, she finally felt drowsy and sat on the bed.

At the thought of Abel coming to A City, Luca immediately called Amur.

Amur was working out at home at the moment. When he heard his phone ring, he answered it.

"Hello?" His breath was a little unsteady due to the intense exercise.

"Amur, are you okay?" Luca immediately sensed something was off from his breath.

Amur also sensed her concern and explained, "I'm fine, just exercising."

"Oh, good..." Luca let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you received any missions recently?"

"No, I haven't. Why?" Amur thought Luca encountered some problems and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to let you know that I received some news. Abel will be coming to A City tomorrow. I'm not sure what he's up to. Just be prepared mentally," said Luca.

Apart from Nyla, Eler and Amur were the ones she was worried about the most on the entire Island of Despair.

Eler and Nyla were on the Island of Despair. She was somewhat relieved because even though she was worried, they were still relatively safe there. Therefore, Amur was her biggest concern.

"How did you find out?" Amur suddenly asked.

Luca was never clear about Abel's itinerary. Sometimes, Abel would give her updates when he was in A City.

He had not received any news yet, so how did she know?

Luca was taken aback. She was just worried that Abel might play tricks that would put Amur at a disadvantage, so she could not wait to tell him the news. However, she had not thought about how to explain how she knew about Abel's plans.

As a long-term assassin stationed in this area of A City, Amur did not know Abel was coming. How did she know?

Luca knew that Amur did not agree with her being open with Luke.

Even if he did not agree, she had already confessed everything. She had no way out, so all she could do was keep this matter hidden.

Luca explained, "I went to X City on a business trip a few days ago and met

Abel."

"Okay," Amur responded without saying much. He did not ask about what happened in X City or change the subject. He was waiting for her explanation.

Luca had no choice but to continue, "I heard it through the grapevine. Amur, I overheard him arranging a flight. That's how I knew."

Once she started lying, she had to fabricate more.

However, when Luca told this lie, she felt no psychological burden. She did not know if it was because she was accustomed to lying or if it was for another

reason.

Lying to Amur now did not carry the same psychological pressure as before.

Is that how you found out?" Amur sounded incredulous.

"Yeah, that's how I found out. I attended an industry networking event previously, and I happened to see him there. He asked me to find some herbs for him...

"Forget it. Anyway, I overheard it. And I think Abel is planning something shady, but I don't know what it is. He asked for my help in finding some herbs, and I only found three of them.

"There's one more that Mr. Shanks found, and we haven't found the remaining

one.

"

"Since we couldn't find all the herbs, I can't confirm what Abel is up to," explained Luca as she rubbed her chest, feeling no increase in her heart rate.

Sure enough, the more lies she told, the more she got used to it. Neither her

heart rate nor her breath quickened when lying.

Her psychological resilience when lying now was far superior to when she used

to lie to Luke.

As Amur listened to Luca's words on the other end of the phone, he asked again, "How did you end up attending this networking event?"

"I..." Luca paused for a moment. "It was company-assigned. I had no choice."

She felt helpless after saying that.

Look, another lie.

She could not tell Amur that she knew Abel would attend the industry networking

event, which was why she went with Luke.

"Did you get hurt?" asked Amur. When he thought about Luca facing it alone and how nervous she might have been, he could not help but feel

a pang of heartache. The content is

He wished he could bear these burdens for Luca, but he could not.

Luca had to follow Abel's arrangements. She had to purposefully approach Luke

and stay by his side.

Yet, that man could not protect her at all!

"I'm not hurt," replied Luca as she

touched her abdomen. The place

where she had been punched was no

langer hurting, but she had been injured. The bruise had not completely faded yet. The content is

Amur let out a deep sigh. His breathing had calmed down by now. He could not

shake the feeling that Luca was hiding something from him.
