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

Luke stepped on the accelerator when he heard what she blurted out. "Are you taking pity on me?"

"No, your identity and status are envied by others. You don't need any pity." Luca turned her head to the side and

was annoyed at herself for babbling.

"Those are just what others see on the surface. Luca, you see more of me than others do. Do you still envy the real

me?" Luke asked.

"No," Luca answered without a second thought.

Luke chuckled and said, "You can take pity on me. I do hope that you sympathize with me more and stay by my

side."

Luca's heart ached when she heard what he said.

She wanted to stay by his side, but it was impossible. Abel would never allow it. She was living in agony but she

could not tell him anything.

The only thing that she could do was express her firm denial. "Mr. Crawford, nothing is ever going to happen

between us."

"Someone said this to me once and I made the impossible possible. Luca, how long do you think it'll take me to get

you to accept me?" Luke stood his ground.

Luca was heartbroken. She wanted nothing more than to hug the man who seemed to be glorious on the surface

but bore a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.

He was human. No matter how tough he was, he would get tired as well.

However, he did not let anyone know about his difficulties. He just endured them silently.

"Mr. Crawford, as I said, nothing will ever happen between us."

"You'll know that you're wrong sooner or later." Luke parked his car at the entrance of the supermarket and said,

"Don't you want to make chicken soup for Nina? Do you need to get the ingredients?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Crawford. You can head back now. We're not too far from the villa. I can just walk back after

I'm done getting groceries," Luca said.

Luke unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door. "The kids didn't bring any snacks when they moved in. I'm

going to buy them some."

Luca was surprised that he knew what snacks the kids liked.

She thought about it. It was not odd seeing that he had been taking care of the children all these years. No matter

how careless he was, after a while, he would learn about the kids' likes and dislikes too.

"Why don't I buy them on your behalf?" Luca said. She was not into the idea of the two doing groceries together.

There were a lot of popular movie stars living in the area, so many reporters were lurking around to get first-hand

gossip.

As such, if those reporters saw her shopping in the supermarket with Luke, news of it would be sure to occupy the

headlines the very next day.

"Do you know what snacks they like?" Luke asked.

Luca wanted to say that she knew seeing that they were her kids, however...

"There are only so many snacks that kids like. I'll just buy a little of everything," she replied.

"You haven't been a mother, have you? A lot of companies include additives in the snacks to improve the taste.

Those aren't nutritious for kids. On top of that, the kids are picky. They won't eat just any snacks," Luke said as he

walked into the supermarket.

Luca glanced around and found that there were no reporters around, so she followed behind him and walked into

the supermarket.

She thought that she would just buy what she needed while Luke went to get the children's snacks. They would go

their own ways and the reporters would have nothing to write about.

After they walked into the supermarket, she grabbed a shopping trolley while Luke kept his hands empty.

"Mr. Crawford, aren't you going to buy snacks for the kids? Why didn't you get a trolley?" Luca asked.

"Your cart is more than enough. Why bother?" Luke put his hands in his pockets to make it clear that he did not

intend to grab a trolley.

Luca knew that Luke had made up his mind to shop with her.

She no longer had to guess what Luke was trying to do...

After all, he had announced that he was interested in her prior. It would be meaningless to speculate.

Luca pushed the trolley and walked toward the fruits and vegetables area.

Luke followed behind her.

Luca subconsciously looked around. When he saw her, he could not help but tease her. "You look like a character in

a TV series."

It was rare for Luke to tease her like that. She would not have acted as such if he was not standing beside her.

"Mr. Crawford, I didn't expect that a busy man like you would spend your time watching TV shows." She was too lazy

to continue the conversation when she heard his teasing remark.

"I generally don't, but I'll watch some on and off. Rainie doesn't like watching cartoons anymore. She likes watching

TV shows. She'll usually watch TV on the second floor while Tommy watches cartoons on the TV on the first floor,"

Luke said.

Luca nodded. It was normal for kids to think that cartoons were childish and move on to watch TV shows as they

grew older.

"Why don't you ask me what you look like at the moment?" Luke was slightly bothered that she did not seem to

care about what he said, so he continued to tease her.

Luca picked up the vegetables and asked in a casual tone, "What do I look like?"

"You look like a thief." Luke took a jab. "You're looking around like you're about to do something bad."

"I just don't want to get myself into trouble." Luca picked up a handful of vegetables and put them in the shopping

cart. While she was picking the vegetables, she was also thinking about what she would be preparing for dinner

later that night.

Luke raised an eyebrow.

'She thinks of me as trouble? We don't have to be like this if she just admits that she's Bianca.'

After Luca picked the vegetables, she bought some meat. She bought more groceries because she would be

cooking for three children, two of them, and the cleaning lady.

While she was picking and choosing, she was also paying attention to whether anyone was sneakily taking a photo

of them.

Luke said, "Don't worry, normal reporters can't come into this supermarket."

"Why?" Luca looked at him, puzzled.

"This neighborhood is loved by popular celebrities, so the supermarket deliberately set up a rule to ensure the

privacy of those celebrities. Anyone with video equipment is not allowed in. Do you see the supermarket staff? Don't

you think that there are more of them compared to ordinary supermarkets? This is all to protect the privacy of

celebrities. If they see someone holding a phone to take a photo, the staff will stop them and shoo them out of the

supermarket." Luke could not bear to see her so nervous, so he told her the truth.

After all, he wanted to be by her side to get groceries hereafter.

Luca nodded. There was indeed more staff there than in other supermarkets. She thought it was because the

supermarket had a good turnover.

"Fans are not allowed to follow movie stars here. If they're found, they'll be shooed out and blacklisted. The facilities

here are well-rounded, so the stars love this community," Luke said. He did not want her to worry.

"Is that so? No wonder the prices here are so expensive. They do it to maintain the profit margins." Luca sighed.
