Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

After Shanks finished his words, he turned around and went upstairs.

The man beside Abel observed Shanks' attitude toward Abel and could not help but feel a bit indignant on Abel's behalf. Thus, he said, "Boss, why does Mr. Shanks always seem to overlook you?"

Abel glanced at the man beside him and rolled his eyes at him. "If you were as capable as Shanks, you could talk to me like that too."

The man immediately lowered his head and expressed his loyalty, "I may not be as capable as Mr. Shanks is, but I'll always be loyal to you."

"Oh? Then you'd better practice what you preach. Book a flight to A City for tomorrow morning," ordered Abel. Even though the distance between X City and A City was not far, flying was the safest option for Abel.

He did not intend to let anyone drive him there.

The journey by road was too long, and it would be too easy for someone to ambush him along the way.

There were probably many people who wanted to kill him, but most of them did not know his true identity.

However, Abel was not going to joke around with his life. What if there was someone who knew his real identity and wanted to take his life?

Abel trusted the security measures of A City's flights. The staff were very diligent in checking for prohibited items. Naturally, he did not have to worry about anyone trying anything on the plane.

"Yes, sir." The man took out his phone to book the ticket. After checking the flights to A City for tomorrow, he asked, "Boss, is the 3:00 pm flight okay?"

"That's fine, but it has to be first class," replied Abel as he took a puff of his cigar.

"I've booked the ticket for you and sent the details to your phone." The man was very responsible in his work. He sent the ticket information to Abel and asked, "Do you need someone from A City to pick you up?"

"No, I don't want to alert those people there when I go back," answered Abel.

Alerting those people in A City meant alerting Amur, which meant letting Luca know.

He did not intend to let Luca know about this matter.

At the ancestral mansion, Gale was seeing the police off.

Luca glanced at the time. It was almost noon. They did not spend much time taking statements, but the police took quite a while to search for evidence.

Luke looked at the luxury car that had been severely damaged by Jacob and Harold. He did not even furrow his brows. He said to Gale, "Contact someone from the 4S dealership."

"I've already contacted them. Someone will come to tow the car away soon," replied Gale as he handed his car keys to Luke. "Boss, you take my car back first. I still have some matters to deal with before I can return to A City."

"Okay." Luke took Gale's keys and turned around to look at Luca. "Let's go back first."

"Okay." Luca nodded. It had been three days since she had seen her children, and she missed them. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She wondered if they had been obedient and listening to Nina's words during these three days.

"Wait for me here. I'll go get the suitcase," said Luke as he walked back into the house.

Luca waited patiently by the side.

Gale grinned as he watched the two of them. Even though he had to watch them being all lovey-dovey again, he felt quite delighted. Although it was a jab at single men like him, it made him feel good.

Luke took out their luggage and placed it in the trunk of the car Gale had driven over.

"I’ll leave things to you here. Let me know when you're ready to head back to A City and I'll send someone to pick you up," said Luke. He knew Gale preferred driving himself.

As long as it was not too far, he would opt to drive instead of considering other modes of transportation.

"Okay, Boss.” Gale nodded.

Luke drove away.

Luca suddenly remembered Evan and Warren, who were on the business trip with them.

"Do we need to pick up Warren and Evan?" asked Luca.

"Evan has already flown back, but Warren is still waiting for us at the hotel. Let's go there now," replied Luke. He had not asked Warren to come to the ancestral mansion.

After all, Warren could not help with the matters here, so it was better for him to wait at the hotel than to wait at the mansion.

"Okay." Luca nodded.

At this moment, Luke remembered Evan's request for Luca's help and asked, "Are you going to agree to Evan's request?"

"What?" Luca did not catch on.

"He wants you to give lectures at Capital University. Are you planning to agree?" questioned Luke.

Luca smiled wryly. There was a hint of helplessness in her expression. "With his persuasion skills, can I really refuse?”

She could refuse if she wanted to, but Evan would continue to insist every time.

Hence, Luca knew she could not refuse—unless she mentioned Luke’s name. However, she had not revealed her true identity to the public yet. Rejecting him at this point seemed unlikely.

"Should I tell him there are plenty of professors at Capital University?" suggested Luke. He was puzzled as to why Evan thought Luca was suitable since it did not matter who the lecturer was.

"Yeah, there are plenty of professors at Capital University, but I'm the youngest of them all. Young people have to take on more responsibility. That's Mr. Turner's intention." Luca laughed.

"Don't tell him anything. I'll just agree. It's not a big deal to go and teach a couple of classes, especially with Mr. Link helping me prepare the course materials.

"And besides, Vivian is also at Capital University. She's been inviting me for meals lately, but I've been too busy. Going there to teach might give me a chance to have dinner with her every week."

"Okay. Ray mentioned that she’s getting better." Luke nodded. He had been in touch with Ray all along.

"How does Mr. Lacroix know?" Luca was surprised. Was Ray not in Russia? She had not heard that anyone had come to A City.

"His people are in A City, observing her," Luke explained to her.

"I see." Luca nodded, suddenly enlightened. "But it makes sense. Vivian is Mr. Lacroix's only family member, so it's normal for him to pay more attention to her. But has Mr. Norton been pestering Vivian

lately?"

"He's very busy." Luke did not answer Luca's question. In fact, he knew Gordan had been watching Vivian all along. He even moved to the same neighborhood just to keep an eye on her.

However, Vivian often stayed in the university dormitory, and Gordan's tracking skills were extremely advanced. Therefore, Vivian had yet to realize that they actually lived in the same neighborhood.

As for this matter, Luke did not want to intervene.

Both Gordan and Vivian were adults. What they did was really none of anyone else's business.

Moreover, if Gordan truly regretted it, he should have pursued her long ago.

However, he did not do so. Luke could not understand him. Gordan neither regretted nor pursued Vivian.

Luke drove to the hotel entrance.

Warren had already checked out and was waiting in the lobby. When he saw Luke's car arrive, he walked out with his luggage. "Boss, Ms. Craw, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon," Luca greeted Warren with a smile while Luke maintained his usual cold demeanor.

He nodded toward Warren in response.
