Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 36 Are You Leaving

After a long time, until her legs were numb from crouching on the floor for so long, she finally heard Luke's voice coming from the washroom. There was a post-release hoarseness in his voice.

He said, "You can come in now.”

Bianca bit her lip and swallowed her awkwardness, standing up to open the washroom door again.

Luke looked at her, his expression complicated.

Bianca met his gaze for a short second, but she could not stand his deep, dark eyes, so she had to turn and look away.

Right here and now, Luke definitely looked impeccably dressed. He was his usual perfectly gentlemanly self; even his collar and sleeves were ridiculously neat.

It was almost as though he had not been involved in any of the hanky- panky earlier, as though all of it was just her one-sided imagination.

Bianca was about to go in, but then he blocked her way.

The man's tall and slender body was still emanating the smell of testosterone and masculine pheromones. It made her panic.

"Please let me pass," Bianca said, her head lowered.

Luke's strong brow darkened, and he walked past her, brushing past her shoulder as he left.

Bianca took a deep breath and went into the washroom.

Before she closed the washroom door, she saw Luke walk up to Blanche from behind. The boy saw his father approaching, but he did not say anything. He just continued doing his homework seriously.

Both the adult and the child seemed to be lacking some serious love.

First, they overran her house as though they stayed there, eating and staying as they pleased. Now they had set up camp in her hospital room too, the younger one doing his homework while the older one... pleasured... himself...

Bianca shook her head, too afraid to imagine it.

She was on the verge of breaking down.

Once she put her underwear away, Bianca leaned against the washroom wall, absolutely furious with herself. She almost wanted to die.

She kept embarrassing herself.

In the daytime, he was the president of the company, way up at the top of the pyramid. Everyone looked up to him. Meanwhile, she was a new female employee without any special background or support. She was not even his direct subordinate.

Secretly, however, the two of them were so close to each other and had moments like this despite the huge difference in their statuses. No matter how Bianca thought about it, she just could not make any sense of it. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Everything Luke did was practically declaring that he "wanted her".

Bianca raised her hand and massaged her brow, letting out a long breath.

At the same time, she heard the child's feet pattering against the floor as he ran toward her.

"Miss Bea, your phone rang. It's your dad..." The boy ran to the washroom entrance, his adorable voice mumbling, "l-l accidentally picked up the call. He said he's your dad." 1

Bianca had already opened the washroom food and accepted the phone Blanche was offering her. 3

Luke had one hand in his pocket, standing in front of the cabinet in his suit and leather shoes. His shoulders were broad and his waist narrow, looking handsome as a painting as he stared at the empty glass pot. After that, he opened the fridge door and found that it was empty too. 1

"Dad?" Bianca closed the washroom door and took the call inside.

Blanche pursed his little lips and gave it some thought before he obediently went to the table and returned to his homework.

Kevin cut straight to the chase. "Bianca, I'm begging you just this time!

Could you drop the charges against Marie?"

"Is that the only reason you called me?" Bianca’s hand around the phone shook, disappointment radiating from the depths of her heart. Her eyes stung with tears. "It's not that I have anything against her, but I told you, the law is the law. I'm nobody, so how could I change the law just like that?"

Kevin's attitude took a turn for the worse too. "If you weren't holding it against her, why is Marie stuck in detention? I heard that a girl called Shaw went into lock-up with her, but this girl has some influence supporting her. They wanted to pull Marie out of prison too, but the cops said that they could not let her go until the victim dropped the charges!"

Bianca really wanted to tell him that she did not call the cops even if she was the victim, and she did not know who called the cops either. Until now, she had not seen any policemen, and they never came to ask her anything either.

She was not the one who made the report.

Now, though, she was very grateful to the person who did call the police. They did well, they did splendidly.

Her father's cold attitude made Bianca fall silent for a long time before she said hoarsely, "If I remember correctly, I'm your biological daughter, aren’t I? Marie drugged me, and if I had not made it out in time, can you imagine what would happen to me, Dad? Also, she had tried something this despicable on me when we were overseas as well! After she learned her lesson that time, she was too scared to try anything fishy while we were abroad, but she has the guts to try again now that we’re back in the country. She's the one who needs to be taught a lesson, not me. What did I do wrong?"

Kevin went silent.

"I can barely remember the last time we had a heart-to-heart talk as father and daughter. In the five years I was overseas, our relationship slowly changed. How did we come to this? I don’t get it...”

Bianca’s throat was dry and hoarse as she said, "I'm even more surprised that after an incident like that, my father cares more about Marie, who was arrested, than me, the victim."

"Marie had barely been arrested for a few hours when you immediately came to my hospital room with Jennifer in tow. But you were here to convince me to spare Marie. I was so happy to see my father, ecstatic even, but then my heart soon turned cold...

"It's because I realized that you were always in A City. You never went outstation for work at all. But the idea that my dad was here, right here in this city, yet he refused to meet his daughter for more than a year and even hid his contact number... Who would possibly believe something so absurd?" Bianca said with a sob. 1

In the room, Blanche's father put earphones over his ears.

The boy could finish his homework really quickly with some music, but his dad used to say that it was bad for little kids to wear earphones all the time. In that case, why was Dad giving him earphones now? 1

Luke frowned, looking toward the washroom.

Bianca forced her voice into a whisper. "Before this, I always assumed that Jennifer was the villain here. She used her position as his wife to trap my father, forcing him to break off all contact with me. But now I understand...

"I have always wished for the happiness of your marriage, as long as Jennifer truly loved you..."

With that, Bianca hung up.

Leaning against the wall, she let her body slide slowly to the floor. She covered her mouth with one hand and buried her face into her knees so that she would not cry out loud.

Outside the door, Luke reached out his hand to open the bathroom door. He wanted to pull her into his arms and comfort her, but when he remembered how their relationship was still suspended there, he pulled his hand back again.

She probably did not want his consolation.

When he realized that, Luke walked up behind his son and pulled off one of the boy’s earphones, saying solemnly, "Finish up your work. Once you're done, we'll take your Miss Bea out shopping."

The boy was instantly over the moon! He nodded.

More than ten minutes later, Bianca emerged from the washroom.

As soon as she walked out, she saw that the man and boy in the room were properly dressed. They looked like they were ready to head out. 1

Bianca felt a wave of relief, but she still said politely, "Are you two leaving? I’ll walk you to the door."

Her heart was a mess now, and she just wanted to spend some quiet time alone.
