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

"Can you sleep?" Luke leaned against the door and stared at her.
Luca rubbed her eyes, pretended to be sleepy, and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm very tired now and want to go to bed."
Luke did not expose her. Since she did not want to talk to him, he decided to be forceful. He walked into the bedroom and sat on
the sofa.
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca was shocked by his actions. ‘Is he going to stay here tonight?'
Luke's slender legs were crossed, and he found a comfortable position. Luca drank a lot of alcohol, so even after she washed
up, he could still smell the faint alcohol smell in the air.
It did not smell bad since it was blended with her body's special scent...
On the contrary, he was even a little tempted.
"There's something I want to talk to you about," Luke said. After he debated internally for half an hour, he decided that he could
not let Luca escape from the truth any longer.
The fact that she flirted with Jean had stimulated his nerves. He could not stand it even though he knew she was acting.
"Mr. Crawford, it's late. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow? I'm sleepy and want to go to bed." Luca looked at the seriousness
on his face and had a bad premonition. She used sleeping as an excuse and thought that he would not insist.
However, she was wrong.
Luke insisted and said, "If you want to sleep, I can sit here and we'll talk when you wake up."
'Sit here...?'
Luca was speechless. She could not sleep, and it would be even worse if Luke was here...
"Mr. Crawford, what do you want to talk about?" She had no choice but to compromise.
Luke asked, "Do you like anyone else right now? I mean, someone other than me."
Luca panicked and responded, "Mr. Crawford, what do you mean? I don't understand..."

"You look flustered." Luke's expression remained flat. He noticed all of her subtle expressions.
"No..." Luca pulled her hair back, which was something she did whenever she was uncomfortable.
Luke noticed and did not mention anything. "Do you mean no, you don't have your eyes on anyone else or, no, you're not
flustered?"
Luca did not know how to answer such an aggressive question. If her response was in reference to his first question, it meant
that she admitted to liking him and no one else.
However, she had been keeping her distance on purpose. She did not expect Luke to notice her feelings toward him.
Luca was about to explain herself but Luke did not continue to embarrass her. He said directly, "Luca, I like you, so starting from
tomorrow morning, I'll pursue you."
Since she could not admit that she was Bianca, he was willing to pursue her again.
He believed that one day, he would find out who was controlling Luca. Then, their family would be reunited.
"Mr. Crawford, you can't do this!" Luca turned him down immediately. 'Luke wants to pursue me? He likes me?' Her heart
clenched as she looked at the man who seemed to shine under the dim light.
"Why not? Give me a reason." Luke knew what she wanted to say but he guided her to say it.
"You have a wife. I don't want to be hated by thousands of people. Not to mention, we're very different people. We're not suitable
for each other." Luca lowered her gaze and listed out the reasons for her rejection. She felt that the situation was ironic.
She was Bianca but she could not admit it. Even so, Luke told her that he liked her.
'Does he like Bianca or Luca?'
Although no matter which one he liked, she was both Bianca and Luca. She had two identities. If she got together with Luke,
would she not be cheating on herself? If others found out, they would never believe it.
How ironic.
Luke listened to her explanation, his eyes dimming. 'Life is hard for her. She has to pretend in this situation...'

"My wife has already passed away," he said.
Luca was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him. She could not believe it as she uttered, "How is that possible..."
"She suddenly fell ill in the villa a few months ago. We didn't have time to rescue her, so she passed away. I haven't announced
it to the public." Luke looked at her and said slowly, "I've kept it hidden considering the poor health of my mother-in-law. Old
Master Rayne from her adoptive family is not in the best of health as well. Our children are still young, so..."
Luca thought that it was a good excuse. He did not confess to her that Bianca was fake. He just said that she passed away, so in
a sense, he was single...
As such, he was able to pursue her.
Luca had to admire Luke's thoughtful thinking and was even a little worried that he had found out something.
However, there was nothing unusual about the man...
"Mr. Crawford, aren't you sad that your wife passed away?" Luca asked.
"Since she was kidnapped three years ago and reappeared, her temperament has undergone tremendous changes. Gradually,
the relationship between us has turned into nothing. When she was still around, I always felt that she wasn't the Bianca I loved.
Later, when she passed, I didn't feel too sad."
Luca kept silent. Even though she knew that some of Luke's words were false, she could not help but get emotional.
Seeing her silence, Luke said, "I've put it all on the table so you know how I feel about you. Luca, you should think about it. My
feelings for you aren't fake, and this isn't a decision I made rashly. Have a good night's sleep."
Luca watched as he walked out of the bedroom, then stopped out of the blue.
He said, "The weather is getting cold. Make sure you cover yourself up and don't catch a cold." After that, he helped close the
door on his way out.
Luca looked at the tightly closed door and did not lie down for a long time.
'How can I sleep now?'

She could not sleep before, and now, her mind was occupied by what Luke had said. She felt that her emotions were out of
control.
Luca grabbed some sleeping pills, sighed, and put them back down.
She drank alcohol and could not take medicine now. Otherwise, she would suffer from terrible side effects...
Luca, in desperation, turned off the bedside lamp and laid down.
Luke's words seemed to be still ringing in her ears. She grabbed the blanket and could not fall asleep for a long time.
The next day.
Luca got up early with dark eye circles under her eyes. She subconsciously walked more gently when she passed the maid's
room.
It was still early, so she did not want to disturb Luke. On top of that, she could not face Luke after he told her that he was keen to
woo her.
Luca took out some ingredients from the refrigerator and made two simple breakfasts, one of which was packed in the bento
box. She then went back to the bedroom to wash up, quickly put on light makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes, and
changed into a fresh set of clothes. She left with the bento box in her hands.
She quietly closed the apartment door and left quickly.
She was not sure how to react or deal with what Luke said the night before, so she opted to escape. She left the apartment early
to avoid the embarrassment of the two meeting.
