Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3318 Spend More Time With The Kids

The blender roared to life as it whirred away.

In no time, Vivian had turned all the fruits into juice, and Luca mixed it with cream before putting it in the fridge to chill.

"Why don't we sit in the living room for a bit?" invited Luca.

Vivian shook her head. "Something came up, and I need to get back to finish some assignments. I should head out now. Sorry for bothering you today."

Luca gently linked arms with her. "Let me walk you out."

"It's okay. It's too hot outside, and I already called a ride online. You should stay here and spend time with the kids," replied Vivian. She had spent the day with Lanie and Rainie, and they had talked a lot about Luca.

She could not help but marvel at how much the kids really adored Luca.

She did not want to trouble Luca and preferred to let her spend more time with the kids.

"Okay, just be careful on your way back, and call me when you get to the campus," said Luca as she walked Vivian to the door.

"Will do. Bye!" Vivian waved as she left.

Luca waved back and headed into the living room.

Tommy toddled over on his little legs, then wrapped his arms around Luca and asked, "Ms. Luca, is the ice cream ready yet?"

"Already craving it?" Luca smiled, ruffling his short hair.

"Yes, I really want some!" Tommy blinked his big round eyes, which sparkled like grapes, sending a clear message of how eager he was.

Luca chuckled. "It's ready, but you can't eat it yet."

"Huh? Why not?" Tommy was confused.

"It's because ice cream has to freeze first, silly Tommy!" Rainie chimed in, having overheard their conversation. She explained it to him.

Tommy suddenly understood. "Oh, I get it now!

"I'm really craving it," added Tommy.

"How about some juice instead? Freshly made." Luca realized the child had not had any water since he came back from his competition. She gently touched his damp hair.

"Yes, please!" Tommy's eyes lit up. Even though the juice Luca made did not have any of the additives one would find in store-bought ones, he loved it.

It tasted like a mom's special touch!

Luca turned to Lanie and Rainie. "Do you guys want some juice too? It's been chilling for a bit."

She never let the kids drink anything too cold, knowing it could upset their stomachs. The juice was just the right temperature. It was cool but not too cold, making it comfortable to drink.

"Yes!" Lanie and Rainie both replied.

Luca let go of Tommy and went into the kitchen to pour three glasses of juice for the kids.

They each picked their favorite and sat on the couch, sipping while reading their books.

Aunt Neile came downstairs after finishing her cleaning and asked, "Ms. Craw, I heard that Mr. Crawford's mother is coming back to the country, and she'll be staying here, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Luca nodded. "But I'm not sure exactly when she's arriving. I imagine it won't be long till we learn the date."

"When she comes, will she stay in the guest room, or will she take over Mr. Crawford's current bedroom?" asked Aunt Neile. She had not asked Luke about it, assuming Luca had the authority to decide.

Luca was about to suggest that Luke's study, which was technically a second bedroom, could be used for Allison's bedroom.

However, she remembered that the second bedroom was directly across from the master bedroom. If both doors were open, they could easily see into each other's rooms. That thought made her uncomfortable.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After considering it for a moment, Luca made up her mind. "The guest room would be better. Madam Allison prefers peace and quiet, and that area is quieter."

"But isn't the guest room a bit too small?" Aunt Neile expressed her concern.

Luca shook her head. Even though the guest room was smaller, it was well-equipped. She replied, "The guest room will be fine. Aunt Neile, please get it ready when the time comes. I'll have all the furniture replaced. I'll contact a furniture store to deliver new pieces."

Even though she did not particularly enjoy spending time with Allison, Luca knew from the years she was married to Luke that Allison had very high standards when it came to living conditions.

The current furniture in the guest room was not from a brand Allison liked, and if she found out the furniture had been used by others, she would definitely be unhappy.

Rather than dealing with Allison's complaints later, Luca figured it was best to handle everything now-even if it meant going through a bit more trouble.

"Alright, so you don't want the old furniture anymore?" asked Aunt Neile, knowing the furniture in the guest room was still in great condition.

"No, we won't keep it," answered Luca. She noticed Aunt Neile's disappointed look and added, "If you don't mind, I can arrange for a moving company to deliver the furniture to your place."

Aunt Neile's face lit up. "Really?"

"The fumiture is still in good shape, and it'd be a shame to throw it away," replied Luca. The bed and mattress, in particular, were rarely used. Only Nina and Vivian had slept there, and everything was still very clean.

"Thank you, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile thanked her gratefully, not at all bothered by the idea of secondhand furniture. "I'll take care of it now," said Luca as she made her way upstairs to discuss the matter with Luke.

"Do whatever you think is best," said Luke, having no objections to her plan. He thought Luca's arrangement was reasonable.

Even though Allison was his biological mother, her disfigurement made him uncomfortable, and he preferred not to see her every time he came and went from his bedroom.

Luca nodded and closed the door behind her. She then visited the website of Allison's favorite furniture brand, carefully selecting an entire bedroom set that matched her taste. After placing the order, she contacted a local store to arrange delivery and installation.

Once everything was settled, Luca let out a sigh of relief. By handling it all in advance, Allison would have no reason to criticize her when she returned.

Luca went downstairs, where Aunt Neile had already prepared lunch.

Ms. Craw, you're just in time. Lunch is ready," said Aunt Neile.

"Great. Luke's in the middle of an international meeting, so just keep some food warm for him. He'll come down

when he's done." After picking out the furniture earlier, Luca stopped by Luke's office.

He was on a call with Marcos discussing a project they were working on together. She decided not to disturb him and went downstairs for lunch instead.

"Understood, Ms. Craw," replied Aunt Neile, setting aside a portion of food for Luke.

After Luca and the kids finished lunch, Luke was still in his meeting. She took the kids upstairs for their afternoon пар.

After making sure the kids were asleep, Luca returned to the master bedroom to take a nap herself.

When she woke up, she was slightly startled to see Luke sitting beside her. "What are you doing here?"

"Watching you makes me feel at ease," replied Luke.

Luca smiled and turned to face him, gazing at the man who was leaning against the headboard, still working." Finished with your meeting?"

"Yes." Luke gently brushed a strand of her hair aside and lightly touched her face with his fingertips. "After the meeting, I had lunch and came here to watch you. Seeing you sleep somehow gives me more motivation to work."

"Most people would get sleepy watching someone else rest, but you're the opposite. Watching me nap makes you more energized for work. Isn't that a little odd?" Luca closed her eyes, enjoying the comforting feel of his touch.

"I've never been like everyone else." Luke let out a soft chuckle. Watching Luca sleep made him want to rest as well.

However, he could not allow himself that luxury.
