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

“Do you know why he chose X City?" Amur shot her a glance and continued to clean the vegetables.
When he first learned that Abel had chosen X City as the final destination, he was surprised.
After all, their base was usually in A City.
Luca picked up a slice of beef and placed it in the mixer. After she pressed the blending mode, she answered Amur's question,
"Well, if it's just the Mallory family that bothers Abel, he wouldn't have much reason to choose X City. But what if it's a joint
investigation by the Crawford family, the Mallory family, and the Holston family into Pierre's kidnapping? If Pierre is still in A City,
he can be easily found."
"Three families? How do you know that the Crawford family and Holston family are helping the Mallory family?" Amur frowned.
He knew that Percy, Luke, and Jim were close friends.
However, Percy and the Mallory family had fallen out, so how could the Crawford family and the Holston family help the Mallory
family?
Nowadays, the younger generation of these three families ruled the roost in the family. The older generation basically did not
care about these things.
"Percy can't ignore the Mallory family. Even if he wants to, Nina will convince him not to do so. So, once Percy gets involved in
this, the Crawford family and the Holston family will help too," assured Luca.
If Nina knew about this and Percy did not do anything about it, she would definitely talk to him.
She would persuade him to investigate Pierre's kidnapping.
It was not that Nina had forgiven Pierre for what he had done in the past, but she did not want to see Percy drift apart from his
family.
"Are you sure about that?" Amur looked at Luca in surprise as she took out the minced beef and started seasoning it.
"Perhaps they're already drinking together tonight," replied Luca. She picked up the seasoning and seasoned the beef.
When she told Luke that she would be having dinner with Amur tonight, Luke said that he would be drinking with Percy tonight.
This was a signal that Luke would be helping Percy.

The three of them were like brothers. They usually had a drinking session whenever one of them needed the help of the other
two.
After the drinking session ended, they would reach a collaboration.
Amur nodded, but he felt bitter inside.
Luca had been away from Luke for three years, but she still knew him so well.
It made him inexplicably jealous knowing that Luca knew him inside out.
Did Luca know him that well too? Amur secretly asked himself.
Suddenly, there was an answer in his heart. Luca knew him well, but it was far from the way she knew Luke.
Luca would never have feelings for him that were similar to love.
"Amur." Luca blended the meat again and began to prepare tonight's dishes.
"Yes?" Amur placed the vegetables in the basket.
"I'll tell you some good news if you help me make some pot pies and croissants tonight," said Luca.
"I'm all thumbs when it comes to this..." Amur hesitated. He could help with washing dishes and vegetables, but he was not good
at fiddly jobs like these.
It was not that he had never tried before. He learned to make pot pies and croissants from Luca when they were on the Island of
Despair, but they came out really bad. Eler was so amused that she laughed at him for a long time.
The shape of the croissants and pot pies he made looked strange. Even Nyla refused to eat them when she saw them. Even
though she was told that the fillings and the crust were prepared by Luca, the child was reluctant to have them. She even said
that they tasted unpleasant just by looking at them.
Amur never made pot pies and croissants again after that.
"I can teach you. Don't you want to find out what the good news is?" Luca knew what he had in mind.
One or two failures did not matter.

Amur stopped working on these things ever since he failed last time. Still, she needed Amur's help tonight.
"I'd like to..." Amur looked at her side profile. He could not help but wonder what the good news was about.
Was it something about Luke and her?
If that were the case, it would be good news for her. However, it would be bad news for him.
"Will you help me?" Luca glanced at him.
"Okay..." Amur agreed reluctantly.
Luca was preparing dinner at the apartment. On the other hand, Luke, Percy, and Jim entered a private room.
"What wine do you have here?" Jim asked Percy once he sat down on the couch.
He had arranged for tonight's meeting, so he should be serving them some good wine.
"Bring me the bottles of wine I'm keeping here," Percy said to the manager.
"Alright, Mr. Mallory. Do you need some company? We have girls who're good at singing and dancing to entertain our guests,"
the manager asked boldly as he looked at the three men.
Even though they did not seem to be the type of men who would get involved in scandals and they appeared as though no other
women could approach them except for their wives, appearances could be deceiving. Many of them were only trying to keep a
good image and reputation.
Still, they took every opportunity to cheat on their wives.
Before the two of them could say anything, Percy replied in a displeased tone, “When have you seen me messing with other
women?"
The manager realized he had made a mistake and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mallory. I'll get your wine right away."
"What a jinx," commented Percy.
"Tsk, do you always look for a beauty to accompany you every time you come here?" Jim teased.

"I don't come here that often." Percy rolled his eyes. Percy's friend owned the place, and he had only stored his wine here
because his friend told him that it would be a good idea to do so. Hence, he simply bought the wine and put it here.
"Why did the manager still make such arrangements, then? Don't worry, you can tell me that you come here often. I won't tell
Nina." Jim smiled playfully, insisting on teasing him.
"Shut up. You're not allowed to go home without getting drunk tonight!" Percy knew Jim was notorious for being a henpecked
husband. If Scarlett did not allow him to drink, he would not drink.
He would not even walk in a direction other than the one she told him to.
Now, Jim had become one of the most difficult guests to invite to drinking parties in high society. Luke and Percy were the only
ones who could persuade him.
Scarlett would not say anything if she knew Jim was going out to drink with Luke and Percy.
"Come on." Jim shot a glance at Luke, who sat quietly beside him. Then, he asked, "Luke, what's on your mind? Aren't you going
to say something when Percy is already behaving this way?"
"What can I say?" Luke looked lethargic. He turned down the music in the private room. "How's your mother doing?"
He was asking Percy.
"She's been locked up in her room. The side effects of the medication have passed, so she's calmer now. But she's still worried
about Pierre," replied Percy. He had learned this from Mr. Bennet.
"Tsk. Who the hell did Pierre offend?" Jim could not help but ask.
Who would dare to kidnap one of the family members of the Mallory family in A City?
Jim spent the whole afternoon thinking about this. He could not help but reckon that the man behind this must be something
else.
Someone who did not come from a privileged family background would not dare to do something like this.
