Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 2023

“Just tell me if you need anything,” said Luke. He thought that the reason why Vivian chose the Capital was mostly because of Gordan.

Although she had made up her mind to leave Gordan, she still missed him in her heart.

“Alright. I’ll not hesitate to ask for help if I need it.” Ray nodded. Vivian was the one who could decide where she would be going. He could not interfere.

Ray had friends all around the world, after all. Even if Vivian wanted to travel to some state in Africa, he would still be able to make arrangements for her.

However, he did not encourage Vivian to head to countries that were lagging behind other countries as she would suffer there. That was why Ray agreed right away when Vivian chose to head to Luke's country, and he had already begun to make arrangements.

Ray glanced at the time. It was late. Luke was his guest, so he should not be taking up his time to chat with him. Hence, Ray said, “It’s late. Let me ask the maid to bring you back to your room.”

“Sure.” Luke did not reject him. He knew Vivian had arranged different rooms for each of them. He would like to return to his room as soon as possible to see what Luca was doing.

The maid pushed Luke’s wheelchair and sent him back to his room.

Luke asked the maid to leave as he did not need her to serve him.

The maid turned around and left.

Luke had asked where Jason’s and Luca’s rooms were. Jason’s room was opposite his room, and his room was right beside Luca’s.

Luke maneuvered the wheelchair closer to the wall.

There was no sound from the other side.

Perhaps the soundproofing was too good, or Luca was already in bed. Luke could not hear a thing.

Luke picked up his phone and sent a voice message to Gale, “They don’t have to keep an eye on her tonight. Let them rest earlier.”

Gale had arranged for his men to keep an eye on Luca to prevent her from disappearing all of a sudden. Thus, there were still people following them even when Luca was just beside Luke.

However, they were currently in Ray’s villa. The security here was good, and Luca was unfamiliar with the environment here. Even if she wanted to leave in the middle of the night, it was unlikely that she could leave without alerting the security guards.

Luke looked at the pajamas Vivian left on the sofa. It was a brand new set of pajamas. He quietly changed into pajamas without showering this time.

He had showered at the hotel before he came here. That was why he did not feel uncomfortable even if he did not shower here.

Luke held onto the armrest of the wheelchair and stood up slowly. He landed steadily on the floor with just one leg. Then, he slowly turned around and sat at the bedside.

He had become familiar with doing this while experiencing the inconveniences of his injury after the car accident.

Luke lay down on the bed and tucked himself in.

His ears were still listening to the movements in the next room. However, he did not hear anything until he fell asleep.

…

Luca did not sleep well.

She felt something was wrong in the middle of the night.

Luca opened her eyes and looked around her in the dark. She sat up on the bed with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Due to the restless sleep, not only was her forehead full of sweat but her body was sweating too.

There were footsteps and noises. Those people were gabbling away in Russian as though they were after someone.

The noises were far away, and Luca could barely catch any information.

The moment Luca knew someone broke into the villa, she worried about Luke's safety the most. Now that she knew that Luke was safe, she set her worries aside.

“Okay. Ray’s men are looking for the intruder. Stay in your bedroom, close the door, and lock it. Don’t open the door if it’s not me asking you to open it,” said Luke. Luke was assured knowing that Luca was alright. He planned to look for Ray and find out what was going on.

Luca listened to his words and frowned. “Mr. Crawford, are you going over there?”

"I'd like to see if there's anything I can help with," replied Luke. Ray's villa had always been peaceful. It was only after they spent the night here that someone broke into his villa. He was afraid that this had something to do with them or Luca.

Luca was about to say something, but she hesitated and looked at Luke.

Luke was good at fighting, but he was injured now. What could he do?

Luca selfishly thought of asking him to stay in the room together with her and stop him from risking his life.

Before Luca managed to say anything, she saw Vivian walking toward them hurriedly with two bodyguards behind her.

“Brother Luke, are you alright?” Vivian saw the three of them standing outside the door. The expression on her face was serious. It was obvious that it was her first time encountering such a thing.

Previously, even though many were against Ray, those people were not dumb enough to send people to break into his villa and assassinate him. After all, it was not a guaranteed success.

That was why the villa had always been safe.

“We’re alright,” said Luke.

“That’s great. Ray told us to stay in a room together until he finds the intruder,” said Vivian. Then, she glanced at Luca’s bedroom and said, “Let’s just stay here.”

Vivian knew nothing about this. The only thing she could do was not to cause trouble for Ray. Taking his word for it would be the right choice.

“All of you stay here. I’m going to look for Ray and see if there’s anything I can help.” Luke looked at the two mighty-looking bodyguards. He was assured that having them guard the door would be enough to stall things for a while even if someone came for Luca.
