Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3273 Be So Accepting Of Luke Cheating

After freshening up, Luca closed her eyes and murmured to herself, "If I sleep early, I'll make it through today, and tomorrow, I can go home."

Luke could not help but chuckle. Then, he tucked her in. "Yes, get some rest."

"But I'm worried I won't be able to sleep," added Luca.

*Are you feeling sleepy now?" asked Luke.

Luca blinked her eyes, realizing she had started feeling drowsy while getting ready.

*Johann prescribed a sleeping pill for you to take tonight, but since you didn't rest much this afternoon, I gave it to you earlier. Just sleep if you're feeling tired." After that, Luke planted a kiss on her forehead.

Luca mumbled a response and soon drifted off to sleep, helped by the medication.

She slept for a long time.

This time, her sleep was more restful than the previous night, with no dreams.

When Luca woke up, it was already the next morning.

Johann had come by early to check on her.

Since her test results showed no issues, Luke asked the nurse to help with the discharge paperwork while he packed up a few things, preparing to take Luca home.

An hour later, Luke drove her back to the villa.

Luca, feeling much better than the day before, could walk on her own, though Luke still supported her as they entered the villa.

Aunt Neile came forward to greet them, taking the bag from Luke's hand. She then asked Luca, "Ms. Craw, you didn't have breakfast at the hospital, did you? Would you like something to eat now?"

"Maybe later. I'd like to take a shower first," replied Luca. At that moment, hunger was not her priority. She wanted to wash away the lingering hospital smell.

"Of course," replied Aunt Neile. Then, she turned to look at Luke.

*Aunt Neile, you can go about your business. I'll take care of Luca," said Luke.

Luca shook her head. "I'm fine now. You should go handle your work too. I can take care of myself."

"Go take a shower first." Luke ignored her suggestion. He held her hand upstairs as they made their way up the stairs.

Luca went up and took a long shower. Luke, who was working in the room across the hall, eventually noticed that she had not come out and got worried. He knocked on the bathroom door. "Luca?"

"I'm still here," replied Luca. "There's still that smoky smell in my hair, and the smell of disinfectant too, so I'm taking my time."

Luke felt helpless, understanding she was just trying to feel clean again. "Alright, but don't stay in there too long. You still haven't had breakfast."

"Okay, I know," responded Luca, speeding up her shower.

Once she was done, they went downstairs together for breakfast.

Aunt Neile brought over their food with a smile. "It's good to have you back, Ms. Craw. The little ones haven't had much of an appetite these past couple of days. They didn't even feel like watching their cartoons!"

Luca knew the kids had been worried about her. She smiled and continued eating.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Luca looked up, and Aunt Neile said, "I'll get the door."

When Aunt Neile saw who was standing outside the gate, her expression changed. She turned to Luke and said, " Sir, it's Mrs. Norman."

"Let her in," replied Luke.

"But..." Aunt Neile hesitated, glancing at Luca. If Queenie came in, would the truth not be revealed?

When Luke noticed that Aunt Neile had not moved, he repeated, "It's fine, just open the door."

Aunt Neile nodded and went to let Queenie in.

A moment later, the doorbell rang again. This time, it was Queenie standing at the front door.

Without asking for Luke's permission, Aunt Neile opened the door and announced, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw, Mrs. Norman is here."

"It's alright. Just go about things as usual," Luke reassured Aunt Neile.

Aunt Neile was still shocked. How could things be usual in this situation?

Letting Queenie in like this was practically admitting that Luke and Luca were together.

After all, the original Mrs. Crawford was Queenie's daughter! Could Queenie really be so accepting of Luke cheating?

Aunt Neile's face was a mix of confusion and disbelief.

Luca noticed Aunt Neile's expression and felt helpless. There were so many things that could not be explained now. They were forced to keep up this charade.

They were not deceiving Queenie anymore, but Aunt Neile still had to be kept in the dark.

Sometimes, keeping these secrets was truly inconvenient.

There were times like now, when Queenie insisted on coming to check on her. However, Luca could not explain to Aunt Neile why it was okay to let Queenie in.

Luca turned to look at Luke. He gave her a calm, reassuring glance.

Knowing he had a plan, Luca did not say anything else.

A short while later, Queenie walked into the living room.

"Is Luca out of the hospital?" asked Queenie.

*Yes, she's already been discharged," Luke, who had been waiting in the living room, replied.

"Where is she? I can't wait to see how she's doing."

*She's in the dining room having breakfast. Why don't you have a seat, and we can talk once she's finished?" suggested Luke, inviting Queenie to sit down.

"Alright, alright," Queenie agreed, taking a seat on the couch.

Aunt Neile was wide-eyed in disbelief. The confrontation she expected between the mother-in-law and son-in-law

did not happen.

She found it all too strange. Could there be some hidden story behind Luca's accident that made Queenie overlook everything?

*Tea, please, Aunt Neile," Luke reminded her, making Aunt Neile come back to her senses.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Aunt Neile nodded quickly and said to Queenie, "Mrs. Norman, I'll get you some tea."

Queenie smiled and nodded. Once Aunt Neile was in the kitchen, she stood up and waved Luke over. "Luke, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you."

Luke knew what she wanted to ask and walked over. She lowered her voice and asked, "Does the housekeeper not know Luca's real identity?"

*To avoid any slip-ups, only those closest to us have been told," replied Luke.

Queenie realized she had unintentionally caused them some trouble.

Frowning, she asked, "So what should we do? If I had known, I would've brought Luca to stay with me instead."

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll handle it," Luke reassured her. Besides, if Luca were to stay with Queenie, the three kids would not be happy about it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

As Aunt Neile came back out, he continued, "Mom, Luca isn't in the best of health, and since she doesn't have family here, she's staying with us for the time being. It's wonderful that you could come to visit her."

"Yes, it is. The person who hit her is truly despicable. Still, that's very kind of you, Luke. Luca has done so much for our family, so it's only right to take good care of her," Queenie quickly responded, understanding the cue.

Aunt Neile's expression lit up in realization.

So, that was why things were the way they were. No wonder Queenie was okay with it.

*Mrs. Norman, please enjoy your tea," said Aunt Neile as she placed the cup on the table.

Queenie replied, "Thank you."

Aunt Neile then asked, "Would you like some fruit?"

*Oh, no need. You can go about your tasks," replied Queenie, noticing Luca walking over from the dining room.

Her expression softened as she asked, "Luca, finished with your breakfast?"

"Yes, I'm done," answered Luca. She glanced at Aunt Neile. It was not easy to have a private conversation with Queenie while Aunt Neile was around.

Hence, she thought of something and asked, "Aunt Neile, do we have any grapes at home?"
