Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3279 He Was In The Same Boat

As soon as Luca finished speaking, the wedding march started to play.

The guests, who had been chatting just moments before, fell silent and turned to look behind them.

The sunlight was perfect. The gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh grass, champagne, and desserts.

A little boy and girl scattered the flower petals on the ground as they walked in. Nina walked slowly while holding onto Old Master Crawford's arm, entering the wedding venue.

Some guests recognized Old Master Crawford and could not hide their surprise.

They were expecting Nina's biological father to walk her down the aisle, but instead, it was Old Master Crawford.

Seeing him brought to mind the time he had publicly acknowledged Nina as his god- granddaughter.

They realized then it was not just a rumor. It was real.

Many could not help but feel a pang of envy.

Everyone here came from wealth or status.

Yet, having Old Master Crawford as a god-grandfather was something to aspire to.

After all, the Crawford and Mallory families were not connections just anyone could reach.

Here was Nina, not only marrying the heir to the Mallory family but also with Old Master Crawford backing her up.

Envy flickered in many of their eyes as they watched her.

Nina felt the weight of their stares and grew a little nervous as she clung tighter to Old Master Crawford's arm.

Old Master Crawford sensed her unease and patted her hand gently. He whispered, "Stay calm. Don't be nervous. This is your moment."

Nina gave a soft response.

With Old Master Crawford leading her, she slowly walked toward Percy.

The old master placed her hand in Percy's with a cheerful grin, saying, "Percy, I'm entrusting my god-granddaughter to you."

"Thank you," Percy replied gratefully.

With his part done, Old Master Crawford stepped off the stage and sat beside Luke.

As he watched the happy couple, the old master whispered, "Seeing this reminds me of the day you got married."

"Grandpa." Luke glanced at him.

Old Master Crawford exclaimed, "Time really flies. Feels like it was just a blink of an eye."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

As the ceremony continued, the priest asked the couple if they agreed to marry, then prompted them to exchange rings.

Percy slipped a huge diamond ring onto Nina's finger.

Luca smiled and commented, "That's quite a ring."

"I've been looking for one," Luke suddenly said.

"Huh?" Luca turned to him, confused.

"That woman took our wedding rings. I've been meaning to find a new pair for us," explained Luke.

He knew Luca was not particularly fond of diamonds. She preferred gemstones.

She had a feeling that when Luke claimed he was looking for new rings, he meant it. He was not just going to pick up any random diamond ring to appease her.

Luca reminded him in a soft voice, "Don't go overboard. Something simple that I can wear every day would be best."

"Don't worry, everything I choose for you will always be the best," replied Luke.

Old Master Crawford overheard their quiet conversation and chuckled. He turned to Lanie and said, "Lanie."

"Yes, Great-Grandpa?" Tommy asked curiously.

"Take some notes from your dad on how to treat your future wife," Old Master Crawford said with a grin.

He used to worry that Luke's cold demeanor would make it hard for him to balance family life, leaving whoever married him unhappy.

However, as it turned out, while Luke might be distant from others, he was anything but cold to the person he loved.

He was, in fact, the perfect example of a good husband.

"Great-Grandpa, you don't need to worry. We've got Daddy's genes," Lanie whispered mischievously.

"Oh?" Old Master Crawford raised an eyebrow.

Rainie chimed in, "Both my brothers will love their wives just like Daddy does!*

Old Master Crawford laughed heartily. Even though his great-grandchildren were still young,

they already understood how important it was to cherish their future partners.

With attitudes like that, they would likely follow in Luke's footsteps, and he would not have to worry about them inheriting traits from Zachary,

Even though Zachary's womanizing ways brought the Crawford family excellent heirs, he also caused a lot of trouble for over 30 years.

Allison suddenly crossed the old master's mind, and his expression darkened a bit.

After the couple exchanged rings on the stage, they kissed to the applause and cheers of the crowd.

The ceremony was followed by a small party.

It was basically for the guests, who were mostly business people, to talk to each other.

Before long, several guests surrounded Luke.

Luca stepped aside, bringing the kids over to a nearby table. She got them some juice and desserts and sat back to watch the lively atmosphere unfold.

Just then, a woman approached.

Luca glanced up and recognized her. It was the bridesmaid who had tried to get into Luke's car during the earlier wedding procession.

She was not an old employee of Brilliant.

Luca left the company three years ago, and Brilliant would have hired new employees. She figured this woman was either a new employee or another one of Nina's friends.

"Mind if I sit here?" asked the bridesmaid.

"Go ahead," Luca responded indifferently.

The bridesmaid sat down across from her. Luca glanced at Tommy, whose mouth was full of cookie crumbs, and shook her head helplessly. She pulled out a wet wipe from her bag and

wiped his mouth.

'Try to keep it neat," said Luca in a soft voice.

"Hehe, the desserts are so good!" Tommy, unlike Luke, had a sweet tooth.

Luca could not help but laugh at the sight of the little ring bearer with his face covered in crumbs. If anyone did not know better, they would think he had not eaten in days.

The bridesmaid eyed the three children, then let her gaze settle on Luca. There was a flicker of jealousy in her eyes.

"You're with Mr. Crawford, right?" The bridesmaid had initially wanted to ask if she was Luke's mistress, but it did not seem appropriate to bring up such things at Nina's wedding.

"What do you mean, I'm 'with him?" questioned Luca.

The bridesmaid frowned, realizing Luca's attitude was not what she expected. She was not overly humble, nor did she act as though she were beneath her.

"I know who you are," said the bridesmaid.

Luca remained expressionless.

"You were in a tabloid scandal with Mr. Crawford," added the bridesmaid.

Luca stayed silent, but the three kids heard what she said and turned their eyes on her at once.

Feeling their gazes, the bridesmaid straightened up, puffing out her chest as if to assert

herself, "I work for Mr. Crawford."

"No, you don't," replied Luca.

"You're talking nonsense!" the bridesmaid snapped, clearly annoyed.

Luca calmly said, "You work for Brilliant, but you don't work for Mr. Crawford."

The bridesmaid was about to respond when Luca continued, "You joined Brilliant later, didn't you? Maybe you should do some research on who your company's actual chairperson is." The bridesmaid looked confused. From what she had seen, Nina and Sue had always dealt directly with Luke.

He had to be the chairperson, right?

Luca went on, "You don't even know who the chairperson of your company is? It's Mr. Crawford's wife. To be clear, this company was founded by Mrs. Crawford. She's the chairperson.

"It's just that she's currently busy, so Mr. Crawford is handling the day-to-day operations. But technically, your real boss is Mrs. Crawford, not him.

"I'd advise you not to think that getting a little closer to Mr. Crawford will somehow let you take Mrs. Crawford's place. You might think you have a chance, but Mr. Crawford certainly won't give you one."

As she spoke, she made sure to subtly protect her own position.

Luke mentioned that after she returned, she had been attracting a lot of attention from men.

The irony was, he was in the same boat.
