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

Mr. Griffin nodded as he listened. Then, he packed away the herbs together with the maid.

Old Master Crawford had just finished the fourth game of chess with Luke. He looked at

the chessboard and grumbled, "I give up, I give up. I can't beat you at all."

Luke, placing his chess pieces down, replied, "Grandpa, you've been playing chess in the

park all this time. Your skills should've improved."

"I play with those old guys, but none of them can beat me. They're slow. How can my skills

improve? You should come back and play with me whenever you have time. Otherwise,

how will my chess skills improve?" complained Old Master Crawford, feeling helpless.

Having played chess for decades, he found himself unable to beat his grandson, who had

little time for the game. It was quite embarrassing.

"Alright, you've had your fun, Grandpa. I have something to discuss with you," said Luke

as he placed the tidied chessboard aside.

Old Master Crawford's custom-made chess board was a cherished possession. The old

master saw Luke placing it aside casually. He picked it up and said, "Let's go to my study. I

have something to tell you."

The grandfather and grandson stood up. Old Master Crawford handed the chessboard to

Luke and warned him, "Hold onto it properly. Don't drop it. It's custom-made. It's precious."

Luke had no choice but to carry the chessboard as they both walked into the study.

Tommy looked up at his great-grandfather and Luke, then something came across his

mind. He asked, "Ms. Luca, can we watch cartoons?"

"Yes, sure," replied Luca, realizing it was time for their cartoon show.

She had been busy telling the cook and Mr. Griffin about the herbs, while Luke and Old

Master Crawford were playing chess earlier. They had all overlooked the fact that it was

time for the kids to watch cartoons.

Understanding that the adults had things to attend to, the kids stayed silent.

Luca turned on the TV, tuned it to the cartoon channel, and said, "Just catch up on the

show for now.

We’ll catch the previous episode tomorrow during the day."

"Okay!" Tommy nodded. He rose to his feet and sat beside Luca.

Rainie saw what he did and also stood up. She sat on the other side of Luca.

Mr. Griffin walked out of the storage room, saw the scene in the living room, and quietly

left.

Old Master Crawford said, "I've heard about Louis' situation. I was the one who arranged

for the person who initiated the acquisition."

Luke never knew about anyone planning to acquire Louis's company, so he had no clue

about the old master pulling strings behind the scenes. He sighed in frustration.

"Grandpa..."

"Louis' company is really stepping up its game. It's getting better and better. But I'm still

worried. What if he wants to return to T Corporation but feels awkward about it? That's

why I staged this situation.

"If Louis didn't want to come back, that'd be fine. But I didn't expect his mother to find out

about this. I never thought things would escalate to this extent." Old Master Crawford

pursed his lips.

As the one who made the arrangements, he felt responsible for the strained relationship

between the mother and son.

However, he also valued his pride. Since he had not told Louis and Susan about it, he

planned to discuss it with Luke.

After all, Susan was Louis' mother, and their relationship could not be allowed to

deteriorate too much. He needed Luke's help to come up with a solution and mend their

relationship.

"Grandpa..." Luke let out another helpless sigh. The old master had not been involved in

the company's affairs or even family matters since his retirement.

Why was he suddenly concerned about Louis' situation?

Moreover, this move caused a major conflict between mother and son.

"I know I made a mistake, but there's no turning back now, right? Luke, as the elder

brother, please help me to sort out Louis' situation. But please don't mention that I

arranged for this to happen," said Old Master Crawford.

The reason why he did not want anyone to know about it was simple. If Susan found out

about it, she might come back and cause a scene.

"Looks like you've had some free time lately. Why don't you return to T Corporation and

take up a role? The chairman? CEO? Consultant?" Luke found Old Master Crawford's recent

actions quite puzzling.

Luke and Louis were brothers. Even though they were half brothers, they shared the same

father but different mothers.

When Louis decided to leave T Corporation to start his own business, Luke had assured

him that if he ever wanted to return to the company, everything would be arranged for

him.

Therefore, the concerns Old Master Crawford harbored did not exist in Luke's mind.

The fact that the old master was aware of these considerations but still went ahead with

such a plan left Luke feeling helpless.

"No, no, no. I know it wasn't right to make this arrangement, but it's already done. Didn't I

just tell you? You'll deal with it." Old Master Crawford shook his head. Going back to the

company was not in his plans.

Luke's expression turned serious as he stared at the old master.

Old Master Crawford heaved another sigh and said, "Yes, I made a mistake, but there's no

going back now. So, you handle it and make sure Susan doesn't come back here and

cause a ruckus."

"Louis is upset now. It seems he has no intention of going back to the villa," added Luke.

"So, the best solution now is to let Susan know that the acquisition was fake, that you

arranged it. But you had good intentions.

"At the same time, make sure they discuss this openly. If Louis doesn't want to return to T

Corporation for now, she'll need to understand that." This was Luke's suggestion.

Communication was the best way to resolve the situation. He also emphasized that he

should not be involved directly as he might be misunderstood by Susan.

"Ah, do we really have to tell her?" Old Master Crawford regretted his decision. It was not

the right move.

"Yes, and now only you can handle Mom. So, you must be part of the conversation

between them," replied Luke with a stern look on his face. Since Old Master Crawford was

the one who caused this mess, he needed to be the one to resolve it.

"Alright, I'll do it in a couple of days. Louis' mother is still not calm enough," Old Master

Crawford agreed. If his eldest grandson would not help, then he had to take care of it

himself.

The peaceful days that had just settled in would be disrupted if this matter was not

resolved.

Luke had no objections. If it meant giving Susan some more time to calm down, it was for

the better. However, he could not help but think about the fact that Louis' villa was right

next to his own house.

Susan might show up at any moment...

He could not be at home 24 hours a day either.

If Susan showed up, there was a high probability that it would be Luca handling it.

He did not want to put Luca in that position and let her deal with Susan's temper. It looked

like he would have to find an opportunity to talk to her properly.

There was no need for her to endure Susan's attitude when she did not have to deal with

it.

Old Master Crawford did not dwell on Louis' situation anymore. Instead, he lowered his

voice and showed a hint of excitement. He asked, "I heard Luca has blessed our family

with a new little girl. Is that true?"
