Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 2600

Luca knew what he meant.

Lanie was academically talented, and he had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

That meant he could understand everything the teacher taught in class. Other than that, Lanie felt bored and unchallenged by his current curriculum at school.

Luca looked at Lanie's bookshelf.

One of the shelves was specially left to place Lanie's trophies and certificates. It was already full of rows of trophies and certificates.

He participated in both international competitions and national competitions.

Luca's child definitely got his high IQ from Luke. It would be a pity for Lanie to not skip grades.

Luca had discussed this with Luke before she got kidnapped by the Island of Despair back then.

They were talking about whether or not they should let Lanie skip grades if he excelled in his studies in the future and if his teacher suggested they do so too.

At that time, Luca thought it was important to keep her kids happy. Hence, she preferred not to let Lanie accelerate his education and let the child learn what he should be learning at his age.

That way, the kids would not feel pressured when they studied. They would have more time to join extra-curriculums and discover their hobbies too.

Luca did not expect that her decision would make Lanie feel so distressed now.

Lanie already understood everything he was learning, and he could not learn something more advanced. He felt depressed because of that.

Luca turned around and stroked Lanie's hair. His fine hair touched her palm, and she said in a gentle voice, “So, Lanie, would you like to skip grades?"

"I'd love to, but I have to take care of Rainie. If I skip a grade, what should Rainie do when those boys bully her?" replied Lanie.

Even though Rainie was smart, her eagerness for knowledge was not as strong as Lanie's. Thus, it was better for Rainie to follow the school's arrangement to learn at an appropriate level.

Luca knew that very well.

Rainie could not skip her grades like Lanie. She had to practice ballet too. Besides, the Crawford family seemed to be planning to give Rainie piano lessons starting this semester. If she skipped grades, she would not be able to keep up with her studies.

Luca said, “Lanie, you've grown up well. You know that you have to protect your sister. But Rainie is growing up too. No one will dare bully her. Besides, you're still at the same school even if you skip grades. You can still protect her, right?"

“Simon Holston always bullies Rainie." Lanie frowned. He could not help but complain.

Simon Holston?

Jim Holston's son?

Luca replied, “Don't worry. He's Uncle Jim's son. He won't hurt Rainie."

Lanie fell silent for a moment and spoke, “But Daddy..."

“I'll talk to him when he's available. Rest early. You have school tomorrow," replied Luca. She lifted the blanket and signaled Lanie to tuck himself in.

Lanie looked at her.

He knew she was their mother. Even though her appearance had changed, she still loved them like how she used to. Lanie hugged Luca and lay on the bed. Then, he said, "Goodnight, Ms. Luca."

“Goodnight. Rest early and stop reading," replied Luca. After she helped him to cover the blanket, she placed a bookmark inside his book and put the book on the bedside table.

Lanie closed his eyes.

Luca stared at her eldest son gently.

She was still in university when she gave birth to Lanie back then.

Lanie had grown up well in a blink of an eye. Would all parents think the same when they watched their kids grow up so fast?

Luca stared at Lanie for quite a while. Only then did she stand up and turn off the reading lamp on the bedside table. Then, she walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

She headed to the master bedroom and glanced at the bedroom opposite her.

Luca pondered for a moment. She made her way down the stairs and headed to the kitchen. She poured Luke a glass of milk.

Luca knew Luke did not like drinking milk, but it was unhealthy for him to drink coffee at night. Hence, she poured another glass of warm water for him.

That way, he could drink the warm water if he did not feel like drinking the milk.

Luca placed the glasses on a small tray and carried them upstairs carefully.

She came to the bedroom door and gently knocked on the door with her elbow.

“Come in." Luke's voice came from inside the room.

Luca carefully supported the tray with her wrist and pushed the door open with her left hand. Then, she walked into the bedroom.

Luke muted the sound, lifted his head, and looked at Luca. He noticed that she was carrying a tray and asked, "Why didn't you listen to me?"

"I just wanted to pour you a glass of water." Luca knew he was upset that she was doing such things when she was still injured.

However, these were not difficult tasks for her.

Luca knew Luke was in the middle of a video conference. She walked toward Luke and carefully placed the tray on the table. “I poured you a glass of milk. If you don't feel like having it, there's a glass of warm water here too."

Luke let out a sigh. He usually appreciated Luca's gentleness and her concern. However, her hand was still injured. Instead of getting some rest, she did such things for him. If the wound opened up again, things could get serious.

Luke noticed that the way Luca wrapped the bandage was different, so he asked anxiously, "Did you wet your bandage when you were taking a shower?"

"No. I changed the dressing." Luca shook her head, telling him that she was fine. "I wrapped my hand with plastic wrap, so the bandage was still dry even after I was done showering."

"Okay." Luke set his worries aside and took the glass filled with milk. Then, he took a sip of it.

Luca's hand was injured, yet she still cared about him. Even though Luke did not like drinking milk, he chose to drink the glass filled with milk.

"This will take a while. Go and rest first," said Luke.

"Okay... Goodnight." Luca turned around and left.

Luke fixed his gaze on her. The voice of his subordinates reporting to him was coming through the earphones, but all he had was Luca in his mind.

This was the best time to carefully hold Luca in his arms and sleep together.

The subordinates in the video conference noticed that Luke was speaking, but no voice was coming from the earphones. That was why they knew he was talking to someone else.

Moreover, the expression on Luke's face was different from the one he had whenever he had a meeting with them.

Even though Luke was frowning, they could figure out that it was different.

Luke would frown at them because he was dissatisfied with their report and work progress, but he was expressing his worries and showing his concern for whoever he was talking to now.

They could feel Luke's gentleness and concern even if they were on the other side of the computer screen.

All the employees were secretly surprised. They could not help but wonder who that person was to make their boss express so many emotions on his face when he was famous for maintaining his poker face.

After Luke watched Luca leave, he withdrew his gaze and unmuted his microphone.

Luke cleared his throat when his subordinates were still reporting absent-mindedly. He reminded them that he was listening to their report.

Everyone immediately pulled themselves together and stopped making guesses about the person who managed to change their boss' facial expression. Instead, they focused on the meeting.

After Luca left Luke's bedroom, she returned to her bedroom and glanced at the time. It was almost midnight.

Luca yawned lazily and could not help but feel sorry for Luke at the thought of him still being stuck in a meeting.

Luca lay down on the bed and covered herself under the blanket. She turned around in bed to face Luke's side of the bed. The air was thick with Luke's scent.

Drowsiness hit Luca as she breathed in the scent, and she unconsciously fell asleep.
