Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 2449

Luke walked out of the bathroom to see Luca hiding under the blanket like an ostrich.

He could not even see her head.

Luke chuckled and asked, "Isn't it hard to breathe under the blanket?"

It was suffocating.

Luca could hear her heart pounding fast under the blanket. She was nervous, like a child who wasabout to do something bad. She could not get used to it.

Luke noticed that she was pretending to sleep, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to youtonight."

They had work to do tomorrow, and Luca had to help him. If he indulged himself tonight, she would betired tomorrow.

Luke could not bear to see her tired.

Luca slowly stuck out her head and looked at him, "Is that true?"

"I've never lied to you," said Luke. He picked up the hair dryer and dried his hair.

Luca listened to the whirring sound of the hairdryer. It reminded her of the past.

Luke would not let her go that easily.

However, it seemed like Luke would still succeed in conquering her heart when she tried to push himaway every time.

Luca found a comfortable sleeping position and lay down on the bed. She listened to the sound of thehairdryer and recalled the intimacy they shared back then. Her face turned slightly red.

Luke's hair was short, and it only took him a while to dry his hair.

He put the hairdryer back and lay down on the bed.

Luca could feel the warmth of his body leaning close to her. She could not help but tense up. Then, shefelt his palm crossing her waist before she was pulled into his arms.

"You're tensing up." She could hear Luke's breath in her ears. "Why are you so nervous?"

"No, I'm not. Good night," replied Luca. She thought of reaching out to turn off the lights.

Luke held Luca's hand that was reaching out of the blanket and said, "Let me do it."

Then, he reached out and turned off the lights.

Darkness fell upon the room.

Luke's hand was on her waist, and with her leaning against him, it made her feel secure.

Luca slept through the night without dreaming. Luke told her that he would not do anything to her, andhe kept his word.

The man beside her was already awake when Luca woke up the next day.

Luca habitually listened to the noises around her to check if anyone was in the bathroom. After makingsure no one was in the bathroom, she picked up her phone lazily and glanced at the time. It was stillearly.

She headed downstairs after freshening herself up.

Percy, Nina, and the kids were still asleep. Luke sat at the dining table, reading the local magazine.

Luca walked toward him. She noticed the magazine in Luke's hands was on the traditional customsand practices in X City.

“Mr. Crawford, are you trying to understand the culture of X City?" asked Luca.

"Yes." Luke had asked the butler to get him two local magazines that were on the customs andcultures.

Although Luke's ancestors had settled in X City, he was born in A City.

Hence, he did not know much about the customs here.

The ancestral hall was related to the local cultures and religions. That was why he wanted to knowmore about the customs here before he started designing.

Otto walked toward them and said respectfully, "Good morning, Young Master Luke. Good morning,Madam. The kitchen has finished preparing breakfast. Would you like to have your breakfast now?"

"Yes, please. Thank you." Luca nodded. She dispelled the thought of asking Otto to stop calling her'Madam'.

Luke would interrupt her if he heard that.

"Should I wake the kids up?" Otto asked.

"It's okay. Let the kids sleep for a while more." Luke closed the magazine, rose to his feet, and said,"We're going out to work today. They'll be staying in the villa."

"Okay. I got it." Otto smiled and nodded.

After Luke and Luca had their breakfast, they set off to the ancestral hall.

It was a 20-minute drive from the villa to the ancestral hall. After Luke drove out of the CrawfordAncestral Home, Luca glanced at the people who were standing outside. She could not help but shakeher head.

"What's the matter?" Luke asked.

"It's still the New Year holidays, right? They don't look like they're celebrating New Year when they keepcoming here," said Luca. She was talking about the people wandering outside the wall.

When Otto told her that there was a display board out there, it aroused Luca's curiosity and she wantedto take a look at it.

However, she gave up the thought of looking at it when she saw the crowd.

"Holidays are the best time for architects to visit and look at various kinds of architectural designs. Plus,Influencers never get to enjoy their holidays." Luke was being honest.

“But there are so many people..." Luca looked at those people. Some of them even picked up a selfiestick and did a live stream under the snow.

She could not understand them.

"It's normal to have so many people out here as they're not allowed to go in. Besides.." Luke pausedfor a moment.

Luca turned to look at him with curiosity and asked, "Besides?"

"The Crawford Ancestral Home won some awards. Be it the architectural design or the courtyard andinterior design, the place has won all sorts of awards," said Luke.

Luca was surprised. Luke had never mentioned it to her.

An ancestral home that won so many awards. That explained why so many people came here.

Sure enough, holidays were the best time for the designers who strived to gain higher achievements togain inspiration.

It was difficult for a building to win three such awards.

"Are they international awards?" Luca carefully asked. Although it was difficult to gain such anachievement, it seemed not too hard if it was Luke's work.

Even though Luke was an architect, he knew a lot about other stuff.

"Yes." Luke nodded.

Luca smiled. Since Luke had brought up those awards to her, they must be internationally recognizedawards. After all, he had already won many local awards.

Luca made a wild guess and asked, "Is it the Pritzker Architecture Prize.."

"Bingo. You're smart. Let me reward you with something. What would you like to have for lunch?" Lukeasked.

He was planning to have lunch with Luca outside so that they did not have to come back and forth.

Luca did not know whether she should laugh or cry when she heard him telling her that he was going toreward her like he was rewarding a kid. She said, "Mr. Crawford, are you sure we have time to enjoysome good food? We can just order takeouts."

"We might have some time," said Luke.

"The two of us will be measuring everything and recording the data ourselves. We don't have so muchtime." said Luca. If they took a day to finish the foundation work, they might have to work until midnight.

Judging from Luke's workaholic personality, he would not be distracted when he was at work. He wouldnot waste his time on other things either.

Luke raised his brows and said, "Trust me."

"Okay. I believe you. Let's have some seafood, then. I heard that there's a seafood restaurant nearbywhere we can get takeouts from. Mr. Muller told me that their business is doing well too. We can ordertakeouts," said Luca. She had already asked Otto yesterday.

She knew Luke was a picky eater.

They would not have time to hunt for good restaurants too. That was why Luca asked Otto about therestaurants that were open during this period that served good food while providing takeouts too.

Luke could not help but exclaim when he heard her last sentence. “It seems like you've done somehomework."

"As your assistant, I thought I should figure out these things in advance. Am I right?" Luca saidplayfully.novelbin

"I think I'll have to fire Mr. Doyle, then," Luke replied with a calm voice when he heard Luca tease himplayfully
