Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3412 Nothing Felt As Comforting As Being In Your Arms

Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. "I think I'll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It's been a while since we've seen each other." Gordan's face fell. "Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?"

Luca pretended not to know anything. "Doing what on purpose?"

Gordan quickly shook his head. "Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke's been waiting for you."

Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn't refuse."

"Sure, no problem. What do you need?" Gale agreed immediately.

After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.

Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan's arm. "Let's go. We should leave and give the boss and Ms. Craw some privacy."

"Man, my life is rough. Not only am I single, but now, I have to endure their lovey-dovey moments. As if that's not bad enough, I even have to clear out to give them space," exclaimed Gordan as he stood up reluctantly.

Gale left with him. When he heard what Gordan said, he mocked, "Didn't you used to say you dreamed of being single? And come on, the boss and Ms. Craw haven't seen each other in forever. Can't you just let them have a little time together?"

Gordan clicked his tongue. "I'm just saying. Don't take it so seriously."

"If you're feeling lonely, finish up your work and find someone already. Stop making excuses about being traumatized by your time with Vivian. You say you're not looking for anyone, but then you turn around and get jealous of other couples. At this rate, I'm starting to think you're not over Vivian." Gale's sharp tongue struck again.

He called it like he saw it and was not afraid to say it.

"That's enough!" Gordan's expression darkened. When he was about to defend himself, Gale cut him off.

"Alright, aright, I get it. You're not into Vivian. But the more you deny it, the harder it is to believe you."

Gordan snorted haughtily. "Hmph. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Ugh. Why are you acting so much like a woman? All arrogant and pouty. It's disgusting." This time, it was Gale's turn to shudder. He rubbed his arms as he muttered how utterly gross Gordan was acting.

"Come on, buddy. Don't you like me like this?" Gordan leaned into the joke, trying to gross Gale out even more.

"Knock it off, Gordan. Act normal, or people might think you've been knocked on the head or something!" Gale quipped, laughing as they playfully bickered on their way out of the villa.

Luca arrived on the second floor and pushed open the door to the master bedroom. Luke was seated at the vanity table, focused on work.

Luke looked up when the door was opened. His gaze was soft and warm. "You're here."

"Yes." Luca walked over to him and asked him in a soft voice, "Still busy with work?"

"It's nothing important." Luke saved his documents, shut down the computer, and pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly, as though he was trying to ease the ache of the past four years. Only after a long moment did he ask, "Was everything alright when you left?"

"It went smoothly enough. I got rid of her by heading toward the ancestral hall," replied

Luca.

Luke nodded, leaned in, and gently kissed her on her cheek.

"You've been through a lot during this time." His kisses rained down on her, gentle and unhurried, each one laced with the unspoken ache in his words.

A warmth spread through Luca's chest. "It hasn't been that hard. As long as we can reunite as a family in the end, everything I've endured will be worth it."

"Luca, everything is almost ready. As soon as he makes his move, we'll act too. The day our family can be together again is not far off," said Luke as he gently caressed her cheek.

Even though Luca did not voice it, he could see the exhaustion in her eyes.

The time apart had clearly been hard on her. Nights without him likely were not as peaceful as the ones when they were together.

The gentle rhythm of his touch brought a wave of sleepiness over Luca. She buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes.

"Sleepy?" Luke asked in a low voice.

"Yes, a little," admitted Luca, "Honestly, I haven't been sleeping well while you were gone. Even after locking the door and dealing with everyone who needed to be taught a lesson, I still couldn't fully relax. I kept worrying something might happen."

What she feared most was Abel causing trouble in the middle of the night.

She was Luke's wife, and Abel often targeted her out of spite.

Over time, Luca had become accustomed to staying vigilant.

"If you're tired, get some rest." Luke's heart was aching for her. He lifted her in his arms and gently placed her on the bed.

Luca hesitated for a moment, wanting to mention that she was not exactly clean. However, knowing he would not care, she settled in. Tugging on his sleeve, she asked, "Luke, will you stay with me for a while?"

"Of course." Luke gazed at her, nodding as he removed his jacket and lay down beside her. He wrapped her tightly in his arms.noveldrama

Luca let out a contented sigh.

As expected, nothing felt as comforting as being in his arms.

The small bed back in the small villa was barely big enough for one person. It was

uncomfortable and cramped with the two of them. Yet those nights had been the most restful for Luca.

Even if it was a bit tight, Luke's presence gave her a sense of security, making her sleep more peaceful.

"Nothing feels as comforting as being in your arms," said Luca. A faint smile tugged at her lips. "I hope the day we can all be together comes soon. I want our family, and everyone who has helped us, to be safe and happy."

She was not someone who wished good fortune on everyone, only for those who had supported and cared for them. She hoped they could live lives free of worry and remain

healthy.

"We'll all be safe," Luke reassured her, understanding her concerns.

Taking down the Island of Despair would not be easy. However, those who followed him

were determined to bring down the organization.

It was not just because they were friends but because the very existence of the Island of

Despair had already angered too many.

Luke knew the fight against the Island of Despair was inevitable.

Even if he did not lead the charge, others would rise to the occasion. No country or organization in the world would tolerate such a dangerous and uncontrollable group. After the storm of their confrontation, the Island of Despair was destined for destruction. Luke glanced down at the woman in his arms. She had already drifted off to sleep. Luke's lips curved into a soft, tender smile as he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. Carefully tucking the blanket around her, he quietly picked up his phone from the side and snapped a few photos of Luca as she slept. Then, he sent the photos to their three kids, reassuring them that their mother was safe and sound.

He also reminded them to be on their best behavior and listen to their great-grandfather so

that they would not cause any worry.

Soon, they would all be reunited. Luca slept deeply for two full hours.
