Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3428 She's Not In A City

"As long as what Lanie wants to do isn't illegal, I'll support him." Old Master Crawford rose to his feet with the help of his cane after saying that.

He had known all along Allison would not have come here for anything important.

This conversation was so dull.

If it were not for her pestering Lanie with questions, Old Master Crawford would have pretended he did not know she was here and let her do whatever she wanted.

The three kids had overheard the whole conversation between their great grandfather and grandmother around the corner of the stairs.

Once they sensed that the discussion was wrapping up, Lanie made a hand gesture to his younger siblings.

Rainie and Tommy understood the gesture and nodded, following their brother upstairs.

Lanie waited until he was sure no one downstairs could hear them before asking, "Why were you two eavesdropping?"

"You were listening in, so why couldn't we?" Tommy grinned. He understood most of what they had talked about. What interested him more was what was coming next. "Lanie, do you want to study medicine?"

"No," Lanie quickly denied it. "I just wanted to learn some basic medical knowledge, that's all. Plus, those children's books are boring."

"Lanie has never liked children's books. He's usually either reading business books or medical books. That's totally normal," added Rainie. She knew exactly what Lanie meant since they were twins and often thought alike.

"Oh, I thought from what Grandma said that you really wanted to study medicine!" muttered Tommy. "Adults are so complicated. They never express themselves, so it's easy to get confused. And that Ms. Thomas, she actually wants to be Daddy's woman? How shameless!"

Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Tommy was still so young, yet he could see through the adults' issues so clearly.

"How do you know all this?" asked Lanie.

"Is it that hard to figure out? She's someone who has nothing to do with our family, yet she said stuff like that. Plus, didn't she try to climb into Dad's bed during New Year's? But Dad doesn't like her at all," mumbled Tommy.

"I'm not dumb. I know what's going on with the adults, but since Dad didn't show any interest in her, I didn't say anything. Otherwise, I would've gone and told you."

Rainie let out a chuckle. "I didn't know our little Tommy was such a clever one. With you watching, that woman won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"Of course! I'm awesome!" Tommy puffed out his chest proudly, waiting for his brother's and sister's praise. "Yeah, you're really something!" Rainie ruffled Tommy's hair.

"Hey, let's get on a video call with Dad so that he knows what's going on here," suggested Tommy.

"Okay," Lanie agreed.

Even though Old Master Crawford would definitely tell Luke about this after Allison left, they missed him and wanted to use this as an excuse to call him.

The call was quickly answered, and Luke's face appeared in the center of the screen.

The three kids excitedly chattered and recounted everything that had happened today.

Luke raised an eyebrow as he listened to the kids.

He knew Allison would be looking for trouble, and he had already been informed by Jason that she had been actively searching for reasons to confront him. Hence, what the kids said did not come as much of a surprise.

However, his gaze darkened when he heard about Allison attempting to get Old Master Crawford to force him to break up with Luca and have Sophian replace her. It seemed Allison was getting a little too comfortable since she even dared to try something like this.

"Oh, by the way, Daddy, how's everything over there?" Tommy asked again.

From the hallway, Allison and Sophian exchanged a glance when they heard the children's words.

Daddy?

Without a second thought, Allison walked straight into the bedroom.

"Tommy, are you talking to your dad?" asked Allison. She noticed Lanie holding a phone.

Without missing a beat, she walked over and snatched it away from him.

Tommy's face turned pale.

Luke had not been paying much attention to Allison's matters, but now, they had taken it upon themselves to contact him, only for Allison to catch them.

Luke frowned when he saw Allison's face appear on the screen.

"What's with that expression? I'm your mother. Why do you look at me like I'm your enemy?" Allison snapped, clearly irritated.

"Is there something you need?" Luke's tone was cold and indifferent.

Allison was infuriated by his tone and felt like smashing something just to feel better.

"What kind of tone is that?" questioned Allison.

A trace of impatience flashed in Luke's eyes, and it was clear he had reached his limit.

Allison realized that if she did not speak now, she would never get the chance, so she quickly added, "Where did you go on business? Why haven't you come home for so long?"

Luke responded flatly with one word, "I'm busy."

The words sounded so indifferent he might as well have said nothing.

Allison got even more furious. After enduring the old master's criticism and now Luke's coldness, she was ready to lose it!

On the other hand, Sophian was utterly smitten.

Just hearing Luke's voice was the best thing that could happen to her. She had been missing him for days. Now that she could hear his voice, she was over the moon. She would be having a sweet dream tonight.noveldrama

"Where's Luca, then?" Allison knew if she kept arguing with Luke, he would probably hang up. Then, no matter what number she used to call him, he would not answer.

"What do you need her for?" Luke only spoke a bit more when it came to Luca.

Allison's tone turned cold. "What else would I want? My skincare products are running low. Of course, I'm asking her for more."

Recently, she discovered that Luca's personal set of skincare products worked better than any high-end brands. Naturally, she had been using them often, which led to faster consumption.

Seeing that her bottles were almost empty and Luca had not returned yet, Allison was getting anxious.

"She's not in A City." Luke recalled that Luca had mentioned there were backups in the small fridge in the study, but he did not tell Allison about it.

Before leaving A City, Luke locked all the rooms except for the guest bedroom and the maid's room. He left the keys at the office.

He did this to prevent Allison from rummaging through things and causing a mess. Moreover, Allison had a history of theft, so Luke could not trust her at all.

"Not in A City? What about my face?" Allison was agitated when she heard this and immediately pulled off her

mask.

Her face, which was full of wrinkles, was exposed to the air.

Rainie had been watching Allison, and she gasped in shock when she suddenly saw Allison's bare face.

Lanie immediately realized what had happened and quickly covered Rainie's eyes, pulling her hand to lead her out of the room.

Allison, seeing this, felt even more embarrassed. Not only did her son reject her, but even her grandchildren were disgusted by her. However, she could not care less about that now.

"Tell her to hurry and send me two more bottles to store, or my face will be ruined," added Allison. What she did not know was that the reason her skincare products were running out so quickly was that Sophian had also realized how effective they were, and she would secretly use them whenever Allison was not around.
