Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3281 Game-Changing Move

Rainie said, "Daddy definitely won't scold you. He'll probably praise you instead!"

Lanie shook his head and replied, "I don't want Dad to know. It's fine if you guys know."

Tommy chimed in, "Lanie just wants to act all cool in front of Daddy. No, wait, he actually wants to be as cool as Daddy! But being that cool isn't a good thing. Now, none of the girls are brave enough to give him love letters."

Rainie nodded in agreement with her younger brother, "Yeah! They think he's too cool, so they don't give him the letters. Instead, they give them to me and ask me to pass on the letters to him! Lanie, it's really stressing me out!"

Luca could not help but laugh when she heard this. "Really?"

"Yeah, they stuff all the letters meant for him into my hands!"

Lanie added, "Not all of them are for me. Half of them are for you. Don't worry, this won't last long."

"That's right. Once you skip grade, no one will know I'm your sister anymore, and they won't give me any more love letters. You won't have to deal with them either because those older girls don't like boys like you!"

Rainie was excited at the thought that after this summer, she would not be in the same grade as Lanie anymore. There was not even a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Luca laughed even more as she listened to the kids' conversation.

She had been worried that Rainie might not adjust to school without Lanie by her side, but it seemed like she was happy about it.

It made sense. Having a genius brother had to put some pressure on her.

All she wanted was to enjoy school and learn what she needed, without any extra stress.

*People as outstanding as me are always popular, no matter where we go," Lanie suddenly announced.

Luca could not help but laugh again. It seemed her eldest son had a side she was not aware of.

This little bit of vanity was definitely something he got from his father.

As Luca smiled, she noticed a waiter passing by and grabbed some juice for the kids.

"Drink up and stay hydrated. Do you want any more desserts?" asked Luca.

"No thanks, Ms. Luca. I'm stuffed!" Tommy replied with a chuckle, patting his round belly. "Okay, have some water," replied Luca as she handed Tommy a glass of water from the waiter. Tommy took a small sip, and his eyes lit up when he spotted Luke approaching. "Daddy's here!"

Luca looked in the direction he was pointing. Luke had made his way through the crowd. He sat down next to them.

Since there were no reporters around and they were surrounded by upper-class people who would not say anything, Luke did not hold back. He picked up the juice in front of Luca, took a sip, and frowned. "It's too sweet."

"It's grape juice. It's supposed to be sweet," replied Luca. She handed Luke the glass of water Lanie had been drinking. "Here, have this. It's spring water."

"Thanks." Luke drank the entire glass.

Lanie noticed and asked, "Daddy, were you really thirsty?"

Luke nodded. "Yeah, I was."

Earlier, he was surrounded by a crowd, with each person holding a glass of wine. They were all trying to make conversation with him.

He was holding a glass of wine too, but he did not really drink much. Day drinking did not seem appropriate, and all that talking had made him thirsty. He did not believe alcohol could actually quench thirst.

*Let me go grab you another glass of water," suggested Lanie as he walked over to the water station.

Rainie scooted up next to Luke and smiled brightly. "Daddy, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Luke looked at his daughter, his curiosity piqued.

Luca had intended to stop Rainie from speaking but could not manage it in time. "Someone was giving Ms. Luca a hard time earlier."

Luke frowned. "Who?"

He did not expect anyone to mess with Luca at Percy's wedding.

Everyone here knew she was his date. Who had the nerve to cross that line?

"It was Ms. Nina's assistant. She said Ms. Luca doesn't deserve to be with you and that only she does. She was trying to warn Ms. Luca to stay away from you," explained Rainie.

Even though Lanie had already taught that bridesmaid a lesson on behalf of their mother, Rainie felt upset.

Their mother was not some homewrecker!

She was amazing and had done so much to protect them, enduring a lot of hardship along the way. These people had no right to talk about her like that!

Luke turned to Luca.

"Our kids already took care of it," added Luca. She recalled how smug that bridesmaid had looked earlier, clearly believing her youth gave her the upper hand. Then, she added with a playful smile on her face, "It seems like you're still in high demand, Mr. Crawford!"

*Knock it off. Was it one of the bridesmaids?" asked Luke.

*Daddy, how did you know that?" Rainie jumped in. "Do you remember what the bridesmaid looks like?"

Luke shook his head. "No, I don't. I just guessed. After all, there's no one else here bold enough to talk trash about your mom, except for one of the bridesmaids."

Nina had no choice but to ask some of Brilliant's employees to fill in as bridesmaids. Her social circle was not that big, and Luca and Sue could not stand in for her.

Otherwise, she would not have had to rely on the single women from the company to be her bridesmaids.

"Daddy, you're so smart! It was the same bridesmaid who wanted to ride in our car. She even made fun of Ms. Luca!" added Tommy.

Luke's frown deepened. "Really?"

Luca shook her head and said, "It's Nina's wedding. Let's not make things awkward."

Luke let out a cold chuckle. "Looks like that assistant is out of a job."

"Yes, fire her!" Tommy agreed, nodding enthusiastically.

Luca felt helpless, feeling a bit exasperated with their reactions. "Whether she stays or not isn't something to decide right now. Look at how happy Mr. Mallory and Nina are. Let's not ruin their day over something so trivial."

She glanced over at Percy and Nina.

The couple were surrounded by guests who were taking photos with them.

*Should we go over and take a photo?" Luke realized they had not taken one with Nina yet since Luca had been busy looking after the kids.

*Shall we?" Luca glanced at him and then the kids.

Just then, Lanie returned with a glass of water and handed it to Luke. "Here, Daddy. Drink up."

*Thanks," replied Luke as he downed the water in one go. Then, he grabbed Tommy's and Lanie's hands, while Luca took Rainie's hand. They all walked over to Nina.

When Nina saw the five of them approaching, her face lit up. "You finally made it!"

"If you hadn't come soon, I was about to grab the photographer and drag you over here myself!" Nina said with a laugh, looking much more relaxed now that the ceremony was over.

The earlier awkwardness had completely disappeared, and she seemed to be enjoying the moment.

"I saw that you were surrounded by so many people earlier, so I figured we'd wait until things calmed down a bit. Now that there's no one around, we can take some photos," replied Luca as she guided the three kids to stand in front. She stood next to Nina.

Luke took his place beside Percy.

The photographer quickly clicked the shutter several times in a row.
