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

Chapter 216 Getting Mommy to Come Home
Jason was suddenly silent.
While Bianca took out the plates and cutlery from the cupboard, she asked, "Is everything OK, Mr. Doyle? Can you hear me?"
One minute passed, then two minutes...
Jason did not make a sound...
The other colleagues had all woken up. Several people were doing chores in the courtyard. Joe was watering the plants and was
rambling on, "I saw from the weather report that it'll be turning cold from Wednesday on. These pots need to be brought indoors.
Is anyone willing to take two? Otherwise, I'll be bringing them all into my room."
It was noisy outside. Bianca could not hear any sound from the other end of the phone.
On the third minute, Bianca decided that she would end the call. Perhaps the reception was bad, or perhaps Jason was busy
with work.
Suddenly, Jason spoke. He sounded especially clear.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Rayne. The reception was bad earlier," Jason explained.
"It's fine. I thought that was the case. I was about to hang up." Bianca handed the plates and cutlery to another colleague.
The female colleague brought the plates and cutlery away to the communal table.
"What did you say earlier, Ms. Rayne? I didn't hear it." Jason had heard it clearly, but he deliberately asked another time.
Bianca was very worried that the children's father was passively abusing them. She repeated, "I said... I'm afraid that he has a
bad temper and might throw a tantrum on the children."
Jason wondered why Bianca was so concerned about the boss's children.
Of course, that was a private matter between his boss and his woman. He was only an assistant, and he was only doing what his
boss told him. "Let me be honest, Ms. Rayne. I really don't know whether Mr. Crawford threw a tantrum on the children after we
got back to A City, but I've heard..."

Jason suddenly paused.
"What did you hear?" Bianca’s heart jumped to her throat.
Jason continued, "Boss received a dinner invitation after he got back yesterday. He left the two children in the apartment, and no
one was around to take care of them. At dinner time, Lanie brought his sister down with some money to buy something to eat.
The security guard outside the neighborhood saw them but did not stop them. Ever since they left the apartment, we didn't hear
any news of them..." "What?" Bianca's voice wavered. How could they have no news of the children?
Jason continued to explain, "I've only heard about it this morning. Boss drank a little too much last night, and we haven't
managed to contact him at the hotel."
Suddenly, Jason heard the busy tone over the phone.
Bianca rushed back to A City as soon as he could. She did not explain much except for telling the team leader Joe, "Sorry,
there's a family emergency. I have to go back."
Joe nodded hastily.
He could not possibly ask someone with a family emergency to stay behind.
She kept on dialing Luke's number as she took the high-speed train back to A City.
The phone was turned off.
On the other side of the city.
The leaves in front of the mansion had turned golden yellow and red. It was a spectacular sight. The three cars that drove in from
afar were of the same model. The car in the middle was slightly different. The person sitting within it was Jack Norman, who was
returning from the Capital.
When Queenie received the phone call, she went downstairs with her daughter.
Leia stepped forward and took the briefcase from her father's hands. "The weather is getting colder, Dad. Is it cold in the Capital?
You ought to take care of your health when you're away."
Jack nodded. "Have you two had breakfast?" "We're waiting for you since we know that you're coming home," Queenie spoke
while handing her husband’s jacket to the caretaker.

The caretaker went away and hung the jacket on the rack.
Another caretaker had prepared steaming hot porridge for everyone.
When Jack was home, a newspaper was prepared alongside breakfast. Every male in the Norman family had the habit of
reading the paper while having breakfast.
Leia noticed that her father was tired. She stood up from the table. "I'm full.
You can continue without me." "You're not eating enough. Don't starve yourself. Take care of your health." Queenie was worried
that her daughter did not want to gain weight.
"I was too hungry before Dad came back, so I ate a bun in the kitchen," Leia pouted and said sheepishly.
"Naughty girl," Queenie said.
"Shall I read the paper for you, Dad?" Leia took the newspaper. "You should be done with breakfast by the time I'm done reading.
You can rest early."
Queenie appreciated her daughter's kind act of concern.
Leia started reading from the paper. After being adopted by the Norman family for many years, she knew the type of news that
Jack liked.
Jack's expression would visibly lighten when he heard news headlines that interested him. Eventually, Leia reached the finance
section.
Leia knew that there was financial news about Luke in the papers today. She had read the papers when they were delivered
earlier.
That was why she decided to read the papers to Jack that day.
"With the small town's development near at hand, property prices in the eastern suburbs of A City have been at an all-time high.
This development strategy indirectly benefits the economy of A City."
Leia left that paragraph to the last so that she could hear her parents discuss it.

There was also a black-and-white photo appended to the news. It was a serious scene of the opening ceremony.
Luke was dressed in a business suit and leather shoes. He stood in the middle of a group of town administrators and politicians.
With his mature and dependable temperament, he was the most outstanding in the group.
Leia was engrossed looking at the photo. Her slender fingers ran over the man's well-built body.
"What's wrong, Leia?" Queenie noticed that her daughter stayed on the finance section a little too long while running her fingers
over the page.
Queenie was once a young woman. She understood what her daughter was thinking.
"It's nothing... I'm done with the papers. I'll be upstairs revising my script." Leia guessed that her mother knew what she was
thinking. She put the newspaper away and ran away blushing.
Jack was a typical chauvinist who did not know what women were thinking. He looked at his wife confusedly when he saw his
daughter run away suddenly.
Queenie sighed. "Our daughter has feelings for Allison Tanner's son."
Jack understood immediately. He took the newspaper and glanced at it. ’ That'll be easy. I'll go and pull some strings. Looks like
our daughter has good taste," he said satisfactorily.
Back at A City, Bianca first got the apartment key from Jason.
On the way back to the apartment, she remembered what Jason told her."
Frankly speaking, I don't have anything negative to say about how Mr. Crawford handles his business or everything else, but I
don't think that he's suitable to raise children."
She inserted the key into the apartment door, thinking if she should look for any hints that the children left behind, perhaps a
written note.
Once she opened the door and stepped into the house, she saw the man who was supposed to be drunkenly asleep in the hotel
lying on the sofa with a deep frown on his face. He seemed to be asleep.
He was hugging Rainie in his arms tightly, and she was drooling.

Meanwhile, Lanie was sprawled like an octopus on the other half of the couch...
