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

Aunt Neile dared not to disturb them as they were discussing matters inside the tea room. She could not make the decision, and
that was why she came to ask Luca.
Luca glanced at the time, then she glanced at the tea room with the door closed. She said, “Just prepare his portion. There's
nothing wrong with preparing more."
Although Percy was Luke's friend, it did not matter if they prepared lunch for him or not.
However, this was basic courtesy. By preparing more, it might lead to more food wastage, but it would be impolite and drive the
guests away if they did not prepare anything for him.
"I think so too, but Mr. Mallory's preferences..." Aunt Neile was afraid that the dishes she prepared would not suit Pierre's taste.
Luca said, "Prepare some home-cooked dishes. I remember that Mr. Mallory loves home-cooked dishes."
"How do you know that?" Aunt Neile asked with curiosity. It was Percy's first time staying here until lunchtime if she remembered
it clearly.
Luca was dumbfounded for a moment. She could not tell her that she had known Percy for a long time.
She smiled and said, "Who wouldn't like having home-cooked meals? Besides, he's Mr. Crawford's friend. So, there's no need to
make a big deal out of it. Come on, let me help you."
"Thank you." Aunt Neile returned to the kitchen with a smile on her face. The meals that Luca prepared tasted good. Even if they
were simple home-cooked food, it was so good that one would not be able to stop themselves from having more.
The two of them were busy cooking in the kitchen while Luke and Percy drank tea in the tea room.
They began to discuss work after talking about the trouble that Pierre had caused, then they talked about what had been
happening in the business industry in A City lately.
"Have you heard about it? The municipal government is preparing to develop the deserted land in the western suburbs," said
Percy.
"Is it confirmed?" Luke asked. "The land in the western suburbs was supposed to be an amusement park, but it's been deserted
for so long. Rumors about its development started when Lanie and Rainie were born."

Percy assured him and said, "It seems real to me this time. Why don't you ask your father-in-law and see if you can ask him
about it? It's not about making things easier for us. If the government is really developing it, we'd better get ready to bid, right?"
Although Luke would not have to worry about his company's operation for the whole year after getting M Group's project, one
could never have too much money when it was about running a business.
Furthermore, if a small company got the development rights of that land, then the small company would be taken to greater
heights.
If Luke's and Percy's companies could get it, then their companies would be more powerful.
Jack would surely know the government's plans for development.
However, it was unlikely that he would tell him.
Luke said, "I'll ask him, but I can't be sure that I'll be able to get any news from him. You should ask around too."
"I know that your father-in-law is famous for his honesty. There's no way others can make him talk or get something from him. I
can't expect you to be able to get anything out of him either. I've already sent someone to find out who's spreading the news."
Percy was trying to figure out if the rumor was true.
Luke nodded. They had to get this sorted out.
The deserted land in the western suburbs was supposed to be a big amusement park, and it covered a wide area of land. If it
was true that the government was developing it, then they had to fight for this project.
Percy glanced at the time and put down his cup, saying, "It's lunchtime."
Luke glanced at the time on his watch. It was lunchtime indeed. They had been talking for more than an hour without even
realizing it.
"You should go." Luke rose to his feet, planning to send Percy off.
Percy stood up too. He widened his eyes and looked at him, "I'm so tired from traveling back and forth. I even brought Pierre,
that bastard, to you. You're not planning to treat me to lunch?"
"You're thinking of having Luca's home-cooked dishes, right?" Luke knew Percy well. Percy had always thought Luca was great
at cooking.

"So what? It's not like I'm hitting on your woman. I just want to have lunch. What's wrong with it?" said Percy, acting like a rascal
as he followed Luke out of the tea room. "I've worked hard, and I didn't even ask you to invite me to a restaurant for lunch. Why
can't you just invite me for a home-cooked meal?"
"Aunt Neile will be preparing lunch today." Luke had just said that when Aunt Neile came out of the kitchen and saw the two of
them. "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory, have you finished discussing? Lunch is ready. Would you like to have lunch now?"
Percy asked, "Aunt Neile, did you prepare my portion?"
"Mr. Mallory, you're the guest. Of course, we did. Besides, Ms. Craw helped to prepare lunch too," Aunt Neile smiled brightly and
said.
"Oh, so Dr. Craw prepared lunch. And she prepared my portion too. Then I should definitely stay for lunch." Percy walked into
the dining room naturally like he was part of the family.
Luca was standing beside the dining table with an apron on her. She was holding a ladle, scooping the soup into the bowl. She
said to Percy when she saw him walking in, "Mr. Mallory, lunch is ready."
There were four plates served on the dining table. Percy smiled and nodded. Luca knew how to please others, which was in
stark contrast compared to Luke's pettiness.
Luke should have Luca by his side often.
This way, Luke would not easily offend the people he met.
Luke walked in and saw Luca still wearing the apron. He frowned. Then, he said, “Leave it to Aunt Neile next time." "Mr.
Crawford is right." Aunt Neile walked toward Luca and took the ladle Luca was holding immediately.
Luca had asked Aunt Neile to inform the two of them that lunch was ready. Aunt Neile did not expect Luca to do such things after
she walked away. She was embarrassed and said, "Ms. Luca, please take a seat."
Luca did nothing when she saw Aunt Neile behaving that way. She had no choice but to sit down on the chair.
Aunt Neile walked into the kitchen and served the dishes she had prepared together with Luca on the table after serving them
the soup.
"Looks good," Percy commented.

"I don't know what you'd like to have for lunch, so I just made these from the ingredients that I could find in the fridge," said Luca.
Percy looked at all the food served on the table. Those were ordinary home-cooked dishes.
These dishes would never appear on the menu of those five-star restaurants.
However, Percy had tried Luca's home-cooked food before and knew that her food tasted much better than the ones served in a
Michelin-starred restaurant.
"I enjoy eating home-cooked meals. And I enjoy eating whatever Nina likes to eat," said Percy. Luca might not know about his
taste or preferences, but she would know about Nina's favorite foods.
Luke sat down and looked at the dishes served on the table. He thought to himself, 'Percy is just lucky today.'
"Get Nina to prepare home-cooked meals for you if you enjoy having them," Luke took a sip of the soup and said in a cold voice.
Percy shook his head and replied, "Nina is a terrible cook. That's why I never ask her to go into the kitchen."
"Is it appropriate to comment on your fiancee like that?" Luke questioned him.
"Fiancee?" Luca could not help but look at Percy with surprise.
