Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 3396

When Gerald heard this, his face fell. “Huh? Ms. Craw, you're not cooking anymore?”

Luca said nothing. Luke had already left with the others. She turned her gaze back before walking inside.

Gerald realized that Luca had only been cooking breakfast because of Lucius. The thought puzzled him. Had they taken a liking to each other from the very start?

That did not seem right.

In this fast-paced modern world, even if they had, using something as old-fashioned as cooking to win someone over did not add up.

Still, the timing was too coincidental to ignore. Luca started cooking for everyone when Lucius arrived, and she stopped as soon as he left. That realization gave Gerald an eerie feeling.

Thinking they might have known each other back on the island, it all suddenly made sense.

Of course! They must have met before. How else could this all line up so perfectly?

With that thought, Gerald quickly caught up with Luca. “Ms. Craw, my cooking is terrible. Why don’t you keep doing it?”

“I don’t have time.” Luca rolled her eyes. “I’m busy.”

“But you cooked even when you were busy before,” muttered Gerald.

Luca acted as though she had not heard him and headed downstairs.

Gerald trailed after her. “Ms. Craw, should I at least make a portion for you?”

“No.” Even though Luca was not picky about food, she definitely disliked Gerald's cooking.

“So, are you going to cook for yourself?” Gerald pressed.

Luca gave a soft hum in response.

Gerald let out a dramatic wail. “Ms. Craw, can you also make my portion while you're at it? Please?”

Luca did not respond. She neither agreed nor refused.

Taking this as a glimmer of hope, Gerald quickly added, “Ms. Craw, if you help me by making my portion too, I swear I'll repay your kindness tenfold!”

Luca stopped at the second-floor landing and glanced at him. “Why would I make your portion as well?”

“Then I won’t have to cook,” answered Gerald.

Even though Gerald was the lowest-ranked person in the villa, cooking was not exactly his assigned duty. It was something he started doing out of necessity because he needed to eat.

Over time, others saw him cooking and asked him to prepare extra portions for them. Before he knew it, he had become the villa’s unofficial chef.

No matter how many groups rotated through the house, Gerald always ended up cooking for everyone.

Gerald dared not to refuse, and that was why he took up the responsibility. However, he figured Luca would not tolerate such treatment, and those people probably would not dare ask her to cook for them. He saw an opportunity for a fresh start and hoped Luca could help him out.

Luca glanced at him again.

Gerald clasped his hands together, pleading.

After a moment’s thought, Luca said, “I might not eat every meal.”

“That’s fine! As long as you think of me when you do cook,” Gerald said eagerly, already formulating his plan.

Gerald decided to order some instant noodles through a food delivery app. That way, if Luca did not cook, he would still have something to eat.

“Fine,” Luca agreed. She stepped into the lab and shut the door behind her.

“Awesome!” exclaimed Gerald. He felt like a bright future was ahead of him.

He no longer had to cook for those big guys and could even enjoy better food. This was definitely a win.

Once Luke and the others left, the new rotation of people arrived to take their place.

He shook his head and muttered, “Good luck to you all.”

The group erupted in laughter again.

“Are all of you from A City this cowardly?”

“Exactly. If it weren’t for the other woman being the boss’ companion, we wouldn’t hold back either.”

“Go ahead, mess around. If you disrupt the experiment—even if you don’t touch the boss’ companion—you’ll still end up in trouble,” Gerald said before heading upstairs.

While Gerald was on his way up, he ran into Luca, who was coming down to prepare lunch. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to warn her, “Ms. Craw, the new rotation has arrived,” reminded Gerald.

“Okay,” Luca responded with little enthusiasm, knowing that Luke was not among them. She was not particularly interested or excited.

“Uh, some of them didn’t take my warnings seriously. So... if anyone tries to cause trouble or make a move on you, just be careful,” Gerald said cautiously.

Luca stopped in her tracks and frowned, a flash of impatience crossing her eyes. “Men are such a hassle.”

Gerald nodded in agreement, but realizing he was also a man, he quickly shook his head. Before he could say more, Luca added coldly, “How troublesome. I might as well just ruin them completely.”

When Gerald saw the icy glint in her eyes, he could not help but shiver, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Cautiously, he reminded her, “Ms. Craw, Lucius is also a man.”

“Can he even be compared to those lowlifes?” Luca shot him a sharp glare.

Gerald immediately shook his head.

Of course not.

Those guys would go after any woman they saw.
