Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3319 Meeting You, Knowing You, And Loving You

Luke knew he had a lot of responsibilities weighing on his shoulders. The most important one was that the matter with Luca still had not been resolved. He could not afford to rest just yet.

Only when he was certain that his wife and kids were safe could he take a breather.

Luca looked at him tenderly, her eyes filled with affection. "For me, no one is as special as you."

Luke smiled and gently ruffled her hair.

Luca sat up and gave him a light kiss on the forehead. "Luke, I love you. It's been amazing meeting you, knowing you, and loving you in this life. We're a team, partners for life. So whatever comes our way, don't try to carry the weight by yourself, okay? You've got me and the kids. We'll always be here for you."

She knew how exhausted Luke was from dealing with both work and her situation.

Luca only wanted to help him, to lighten his load.

"Alright, I promise." Luke's voice was hoarse, and a deep desire for her flickered in his eyes.

The room grew warmer as their lips were about to meet when a knock interrupted them.

Luca quickly pulled back as though she was startled.

Luke's face flashed with frustration. "Who is it?"

"Daddy, is Ms. Luca awake yet?" Tommy's voice called from outside the door.

Luke was rendered speechless. His son really had a knack for ruining his moments.

He got out of bed and opened the door, looking down at his youngest son. "With how loudly you knocked, she'd be awake even if she wasn't before."

Tommy happily squeezed through the gap and ran to the bedside. "Ms. Luca, you're awake!"

"Yes, I'm up," replied Luca, looking at her youngest son before glancing over at Luke.

He had a look of frustration and desire written all over his face. The way he looked at his son was filled with helplessness and disappointment.

Luca could not help but laugh. Even so, Luke could not really do anything to his son.

"Come play with us since you're awake! We haven't played games together in so long," suggested Tommy as he tugged Luca out of bed.

Luca had no choice but to get up and follow him.

Luke watched as his wife, whom he had finally managed to claim for himself, was now being dragged away by their child. He let out a sigh of defeat.

"Daddy, get back to work." Tommy suddenly turned around, giving Luke a thumbs-up as though to cheer him on. Luke was even more speechless.

He had to keep reminding himself that this was his own child. He had to endure it.

He had to endure it!

As Luca left the room with Tommy, she heard Luke's quiet groan and could not help but smile. She swore she had not done it on purpose. She did not expect the kids to seek her out at a time like this.

She thought to herself that she would just make it up to him tonight after the kids fell asleep.

Downstairs, Lanie and Rainie were setting up a board game. When they saw her and Tommy come down, they called out together, "Ms. Luca!"

"When did you two wake up?" asked Luca, sitting down next to them with Tommy.

"We've been up for a while," answered Rainie. She gave Luca a hug before adding, "But we didn't tell Tommy to wake you up. He did that all by himself."

Tommy called out, "How could you do this? We agreed to share the good times and tough it out together!" "He just wanted ice cream. That's why he came upstairs to wake you up," Lanie said.

Luca looked at Tommy with a smile on his face. "Is that true?"

"Hey.." Tommy felt helpless. His siblings always sold him out, and now, his image as a good kid was about to crumble.

"Alright, sit tight. I'll check if the ice cream is ready." Luca chuckled at his expression and headed to the kitchen. Aunt Neile was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw Luca come in, she asked, "Ms. Craw, is there something you need?"

"I'm just checking if the ice cream is ready," answered Luca.

"Oh, the ice cream? I checked earlier, and it seems ready, but the little ones insisted on waiting for your go-ahead before eating it." Aunt Neile admired the kids' good behavior.

Most kids would have dived right into the treat, but these little ones actually had self-control.

Luca nodded, scooped two servings of ice cream for each of the three kids, and brought the bowls out of the kitchen.

"Ice cream is ready!" announced Luca.

The kids' eyes lit up as they stood eagerly to look at her.

Luca handed each of them a bowl and said, "They're all the same flavor. Don't eat too fast. You don't want to upset your stomachs."

"Thank you, Ms. Luca," the kids said in unison.

Luca felt so happy watching them enjoy the ice cream. She reminded them, "Eat slowly. There's no rush."

Rainie and Tommy both loved sweets, so they were clearly enjoying themselves.

As for Lanie, like Luke, he was not too fond of sweets, but he seemed to be enjoying the ice cream as well. He was eating at a leisurely pace.

As their mother, Luca could tell from their expressions that they all liked the ice cream she made. "Ms. Luca, this is good!" said Rainie as she licked her lips, her face lighting up with a smile.

Tommy nodded enthusiastically. "Ms. Luca, your ice cream is even better than the ones we buy from the store!" Seeing how much the kids liked it filled Luca with joy. After they finished eating, she played a board game with them.

Of course, the game came with a twist. The loser had to stick a paper strip on their face as a penalty.

After a few rounds, except for Lanie, Luca, Rainie, and Tommy all had several strips of paper stuck to their faces.

Tommy lost again.

He puffed out his cheeks and tried to blow the paper strips off, but it was no use. His face was plastered with them.

Rainie giggled at his antics and said, "Tommy, you can't blow them off. Just leave them on."

With that, she stuck another strip on his face.

Tommy looked at Luca, then at Rainie, and finally at Lanie.

"Playing games with Lanie is no fun. I always lose. It's not fair," grumbled Tommy, feeling defeated by Lanie's superior smarts.

"Tommy, a bet's a bet," replied Lanie, drawing a little turtle on one of the paper strips stuck to Tommy's face. Here's a turtle for you!"

"Lanie is always picking on me!" protested Tommy, shaking his fists. Just as he finished speaking, he let out a

loud hiccup.

The three of them burst into laughter.

Tommy's face turned bright red from embarrassment.

"I ate too much ice cream," explained Tommy. Then, he added defiantly, "Lanie's really smart, but that doesn't mean I'm dumber than him! I was just born later. If we had been born at the same time, maybe I'd even be smarter than him!"

Lanie noticed one of the paper strips starting to fall off Tommy's face, so he reached out and pressed it back on." Yes, you're awesome, Tommy. Keep it up, and you'll be the best in the family one day!"

Tommy nodded enthusiastically. "I will! I'm going to be the best in the family!"

He turned to Luca and said, "Ms. Luca, just wait and see. I'll surpass Lanie!"

Luca smiled and replied, "You're both such smart kids."

Lanie, still cool and composed with his arms crossed, asked, "So, smartest Tommy, are we playing another

round?"
