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

Louis returned to his study. He began packing up his computer. In his mind, he was thinking that he should start backing up
important files to his private cloud storage.
If something like this happened again, it wouldn't hurt for him to lay low outside for a few days.
Louis had always felt this way, especially since Susan had been forced to move here by Old Master Crawford. Her temper had
worsened significantly. He could not afford to provoke her, but at least he could escape if needed.
After packing up his computer and company documents, Louis put his personal documents in his briefcase. He planned to go to
his bedroom to change his clothes before leaving. However, he ran into Susan.
The moment Susan saw him, her face darkened and she asked, "What are you back for?"
Louis wanted to tell her that this was his house. Why could he not come back?
However, if he said that, Susan would surely lose her temper again. He had no choice but to smooth things over with her. "Mom,
you're still upset."
"How can I not be upset when I have a son as worthless as you?" Susan was furious. When she was reminded of what Louis
said to her yesterday, it only made her angrier.
"Since you like that lousy company so much, you can just stay there from now on. Don't come back. Get lost.”
A blaze of anger surged within Louis instantly. He was not just sitting around doing nothing. His company was doing well, and his
income managed to cover Susan's expenses. Why did she think it was wrong for him not to work at T Corporation?
In Susan's eyes, even though he was running a company with nearly a hundred employees, he was nothing but garbage.
Louis was puzzled. He was simply pursuing his dream. Why could he not earn her approval?
Old Master Crawford, who had always been strict with his grandsons, praised his current endeavors.
Yet, Susan was different...
Louis felt unappreciated for his efforts. He was even treated as if he were useless. He was unhappy about it.
Even though he was an adult, gaining his mother's approval was still important to him.

Louis' eyes reddened as he anticipated a major showdown between him and his mother.
Just then, Yuri's voice broke the tension. "Mother, please calm down. Louis is following his dream. Let him persist for a while.
The company is doing well, and who knows? One day, it might surpass T Corporation."
Yuri tried to appeal to Susan's emotions.
However, Susan clearly was not buying it. She sneered, "Surpass? With this crummy small company? T Corporation is the result
of three generations of hard work.
"How can his small and lousy company ever surpass it? He doesn't know how to leverage such vast resources and even handed
the company over to that vixen's son. How can I have such a foolish son?"
If it were not for Louis and Zachary's resemblance, she would have suspected that Allison had bribed the hospital to switch the
babies.
Louis' face turned as red as a beet. Was she really his mother? How could she say such harsh words?
It was as though she had been possessed by some evil spirit and had become a completely different person.
Previously, Susan used to speak sharply to others, but her harshness was mainly directed at Allison and Luke.
Now, Susan's unkindness was coming at Louis at full throttle. No matter how patient Louis was, there was no way he could
endure this kind of taunting.
"Mother!" Yuri felt uncomfortable as well when she heard such things. After all, Louis was her husband.
She could not stand by and let her husband be insulted.
However, the one criticizing Louis happened to be Susan. There was nothing much she could say. She had the highest seniority
here.
Yuri had no choice but to say, "T Corporation isn't going anywhere. Since Louis still wants to continue managing his company,
just let him do it. When the company reaches a higher level, he can let go of it and go back to work at T Corporation."
She was not necessarily suggesting that Louis should do that, but she had to calm Susan down.
Otherwise, Susan might continue to say harsh things, leading to another family feud.

Having been Louis' confidant for so many years, Yuri knew the signs of his anger. If she did not intervene here, a major family
battle would erupt.
"Wait for him? How long should we wait? By then, all the resources will probably be taken by Luke Crawford. Louis will just be a
lackey if he goes back!" Susan growled.
"I'm not going back! I want to run my own company. You can either take it or leave it!" Louis declared. He no longer wanted to
change his clothes and went straight downstairs.
Instead of enduring Susan's anger here, it was better to return to his company.
He could stay at the Dunn's family place with Yuri. Otherwise, he could just stay in a hotel. That would still be better than being at
home.
Susan watched as Louis left, standing there with her hands on her hips. She yelled at him from behind, "Fine! Go and run your
company. Leave here. When you're gone, I'll pretend I never had a son like you! Get lost!"
"Oh, Mother, why are you saying such nonsense? Louis is still your son.” Yuri became anxious. She could not pull Louis back
now. If the mother and son continued their conversation, it would only make things worse.
She was in a tight spot.
People said that daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law could not get along well, but now it was clear that even sons and their
mothers could not get along. As a daughter-in-law, Yuri had no solution to this problem.
If Susan had been arguing with Louis because of her, it might have been easier to resolve.
In this case, it was a dispute between mother and son about Louis' company. Neither of them was willing to back down. This
made the situation more complicated.
"That useless thing! If he's not willing to work at T Corporation, I'll pretend I never had him as a son!" Susan's face turned bright
red with anger as her chest heaved. It seemed like she could not catch her breath.
"Ah, Mother, please calm down. I'll talk to Louis. Mothers and sons shouldn't bear grudges," replied Yuri. She did not want to stay
and be the target of Susan's rant. She quickly went downstairs.
When she saw the maid who stood downstairs, she said, "Take good care of Madam Crawford."

"Yes." Even though the housemaid was standing downstairs, she had overheard their entire conversation.
After Yuri left, she shook her head helplessly and thought that Master Louis was in a tough spot. Even though Old Master
Crawford supported his career, Susan refused to accept it.
She often believed that the old master's support was to prevent Louis from competing with Luke. That way, the brothers could
get along peacefully, and Luke's position would be safe at the same time.
Susan thought the old master was showing a bias in Luke's favor.
However, the maid believed that Old Master Crawford genuinely doted on Louis and supported him in pursuing the career he
desired.
She had worked in the Crawford family for many years. She knew how aimless Louis was before he got married, even back
when he was employed at T Corporation.
If he had been at any other company, he would have been fired long ago.
After he got married and started his favorite career, his aimlessness slowly faded. He became dedicated to his chosen field,
unlike before.
The maid believed that Susan should be happy because Louis was improving, after all.
However, Susan was in strong disagreement and not even pleased...
The maid could not get it.
