Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3341 My Blood Runs In Your Veins

Luke was driving back home with Luca. It was already 9:00 pm when they arrived at the villa.

Just as they reached the foyer and had not taken more than a few steps, Allison's voice rang out.

"Oh, so you're finally willing to come back from Crawford Manor?" Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Luca did not know how to respond to Allison and looked over at Luke.

Luke let go of Luca's waist and whispered, "Go upstairs first."

"Okay." Luca nodded, changed her shoes, and was about to head upstairs when Allison said again, "Stop. Who told you to go upstairs?"

"Madam Allison, is there something you need?" Luca's tone was cold, carefully masking the helplessness inside her.

Since she learned that Allison would be returning to the country and moving here, Luca had mentally prepared herself to be put in a difficult position. She loved Luke, so she was willing to tolerate whatever troubles came with it.

Luca believed that as long as she and Luke faced things together, there was nothing they could not resolve.

"You'll help me with my skincare from now on." Allison was clearly asking Luca for a favor, but her tone was so self-assured as though she thought Luca was obliged to help her.

Luca exchanged a glance with Luke. When she was about to decline, Luke spoke up for her, "Luca is busy and doesn't have time."

"I'm talking to Luca. Why are you butting in?" Allison was irritated.

Why was Luke always defending Luca?

It was as though he had forgotten his mother after he found a woman.

Allison was frustrated that Luke's attention seemed to be on Luca and Luca only.

Luke casually wrapped his arm around Luca's waist, making it clear to Allison where his loyalty lay. He exposed Allison's nonsense in an indifferent tone, "Do you think the skincare products Luca used yesterday are that effective?"

Even though Allison did not want to admit it, the truth was that Luca's skincare products worked really well.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Allison hesitated for a moment but still refused to admit it. "Isn't she skilled in medicine? Doesn't she know how to provide treatment? My skin needs treatment and good care. What's wrong with her taking care of me?"

"You need to change your attitude first if you want someone to help you. Otherwise, you can forget about it," Luke firmly rejected her request again on Luca's behalf.

Then, he looked down at Luca, who wore a helpless expression on her face, and said, "Go upstairs first."

"I need to massage Aunt Neile," Luca finally remembered the task at hand and replied calmly.

"Go ahead," replied Luke. With him there, Allison would not be able to stir up any trouble.

"Okay." Luca gave a knowing look to Aunt Neile, who was standing aside. She quickly grabbed the medicinal cream from the drawer and walked into the maid's room.

After Aunt Neile entered, Luca closed the door behind her.

"Ms. Craw, is this okay?" Aunt Neile furrowed her brows with concern.

"Mr. Crawford will take care of it." Luca signaled for Aunt Neile to lie down. She scooped out some cream and began massaging Aunt Neile's back.

In the living room, the confrontation between mother and son continued.

Allison pointed at the maid's room and said, "She can treat a maid, but she can't treat me?"

"At least Aunt Neile knows how to behave," Luke's dark eyes were cold and indifferent, his tone laced with a hint of impatience.

Allison felt as though she was no longer speaking to her son but to a complete stranger.

The way Luke was always defending another woman made her feel alienated, and she felt the need to reclaim control.

Frowning, she said, "Luke, I'm your mother, and she's your woman. Why should I have to lower myself to ask her for help? Maybe if Bianca weren't here, she'd be your wife. Anyway, she should be serving me properly."

Luke could not help but feel like laughing at her words. He had no desire to say another word to her.

However, since Luca was still in the maid's room massaging Aunt Neile, if he turned to go upstairs now, Allison would surely try to barge into the room and cause trouble for Luca.

He could only continue dealing with her in frustration. "Luca is an independent person, not someone who belongs to anyone. She's not here to serve you specifically,"

"Fine, Luke. After all the effort I put into raising you, you turn out to be someone who bites the hand that feeds you!" Allison was furious at his response. She even wanted to slap him, but in the end, she held back.

She had a feeling that if she slapped him, he would throw her out of the house and send her to a hotel, so she suppressed the urge to do so. "I'm just asking your woman to treat me, and you're running your mouth. My blood runs in your veins!"

Luke's expression grew even darker, and he gave one last warning. "I've told you-if you want her to help, you need to approach her with the right attitude instead of bossing her around.

"And just because you ask doesn't mean she'll agree. The decision is hers to make. With the way you're acting right now, why would she agree?"

Allison was seething with anger and was on the verge of losing it when Luca and Aunt Neile came out of the maid's room.

"Aunt Neile, you can leave work now," said Luca.

It was better not to let anyone else witness what was going on, especially since it was such an embarrassing situation. It was one that could easily become the subject of ridicule.

"Okay, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile could feel the tension in the air. She quickly left the villa.

Now, there were only three people left in the living room.

Allison's eyes were red, filled with a sense of grievance. She felt like she was being bullied by the two of them, and tears started to well up in her eyes.

Luca parted her lips but said nothing. She just silently watched the situation unfold.

The maid's room had decent soundproofing, and since the door was closed, she did not overhear their conversation.

Allison clenched her fists tightly, afraid that if she loosened them, she would end up slapping Luke across the face.

"Fine, since you won't let this woman treat my skin, you can find me a naturopathist to do it. I need to get some treatment, and I need someone to do my daily skincare routine. How about this?

"Since Aunt Neile doesn't seem to know much, we should fire her and hire Sophian to be the maid. That way, she can take care of your daily needs and also help with my skincare," suggested Allison.

Luca noticed the subtle choice of words.

Sophian would take care of Luke's daily needs...

She would take care of Luke and Luke alone? Was that not something only a wife should do?

Luca knew that Allison had been considering this for a while, but now she had said it out loud, a slight smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she looked at Luke. It was like she was watching a show, eager to hear what he

would say.

"We don't need a useless person who can't do anything," replied Luke, completely devaluing the person Allison had mentioned under the gaze of his beloved.

Allison wanted Sophian to come into their home? Not a chance!

"What do you mean 'a useless person'? Luke, Sophian can do plenty of things!" Allison shot back. Sophian was young, energetic, and attractive. There were many things she could do. Why would Luke look down on her?ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I don't need her. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and find her standing by my bed in a sexy nightgown, looking at me and Luca." Luke coldly snorted. "Aunt Neile is diligent and capable. She cooks well too. I'm not firing her, so don't even think about it."

Then, he took Luca's hand and led her upstairs.
