Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3282 Old Master Crawford Acknowledges Her

After the photos were taken, Old Master Crawford hobbled over with his cane and chuckled. "How about the old man joins in for a picture too?"

"Of course!" Nina quickly let go of Percy's arm and helped the old man to the center.

*Luke, go stand next to Luca," instructed Old Master Crawford,

Luke obediently moved to stand beside Luca while the kids remained in front. The photographer snapped several more shots.

Then, they had Old Master Crawford sit down on a chair, with the kids standing by his side and the rest of them standing behind. The photographer clicked a few more times.

After giving a thumbs-up, signaling they were done, Nina grabbed Luca's arm and said, "Could you help us take a few more photos?"

The photographer nodded and took a few shots of just them as well.

Nina then asked, "My assistant went to look for you earlier, right?"

Luca was surprised. "How did you know?"

"I noticed it. She's..." Nina heaved a sigh. "I've always had this feeling she's got a thing for Mr. Crawford, but I didn't want to make a fuss. After all, she hadn't done anything too outrageous until now. What did she say to you?"

*She said some pretty inappropriate things," Luca answered plainly,

"Wow, guess I'll be hiring a new assistant after my honeymoon," muttered Nina. She did not expect her assistant's crush on Luke to be so intense that she would go so far as to say something to Luca and the kids.

What a mess!

Luca replied, "I wasn't planning on bringing this up at your wedding."

"You didn't have to. I already had my suspicions. She's fresh out of college, and it's easy to tell what's on her mind. I thought she was just trying to get close to you, but it turns out she really has no boundaries.

"Honestly, it's for the best. She's not that great at her job anyway. The last time, rumors about my swollen face spread all throughout the company, and my investigation pointed back to her. But without solid proof, I couldn't just fire her for it," explained Nina.

Luca replied in a helpless tone, "Mr. Crawford's just too popular. It's hard to avoid such things from happening."

"I get it. A lot of women in the company have a crush on him too, but they're more subtle about it. They either keep it to themselves or see him as a distant idol. Not like her. She's got her head full of ideas about getting close to him," said Nina.

Luca was about to say more, but someone else came up to Nina for a photo, so she let it go.

She glanced at Luke, who was once again surrounded by people. She decided to take the kids back to their table. Their glasses had been cleared away, so Luca asked, "Kids, do you want something to drink? I'll go grab it."

"Ms. Luca, we're full! No need," replied Tommy, shaking his head.

Lanie and Rainie also shook their heads.

They were not the kind of kids who overindulged. They would eat just enough.

*Alright. Let's just sit and chat until the banquet starts," suggested Luca.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

While the kids were talking to Luca, Old Master Crawford walked over and sat in an empty chair, grinning. "Why is everyone hanging out here?"

"Great-Grandpa!" the three kids greeted the old man cheerfully.

Luca also greeted him, "Grandpa."

"Hmm, why are you all sitting here?" Old Master Crawford asked with curiosity. He was surrounded by quite a few people earlier, and if it were not for Luke stepping in to help, he would have still been stuck chatting with them.

It was tiring being the center of attention for so long.

"We're just chatting!" Tommy replied with a smile.

"Why aren't you playing?" Old Master Crawford asked the three kids.

Many guests had brought their kids along, so there were plenty of opportunities to make friends.

Tommy replied, "There's nothing fun to do, and we don't really know the other kids."

"But you know Kari and Teri!" Old Master Crawford wanted to understand why his great-grandchildren were not interested in playing with the other kids.

Lanie quickly chimed in, "Great-Grandpa, we're staying here to keep Ms. Luca company."

Luca was not officially part of the Crawford family, and some people still saw her as an outsider.

The kids were worried she might be mistreated, so they stayed by her side.

Plus, they were not the kind of kids who were overly playful.

Old Master Crawford turned to look at Luca and immediately understood why the kids had not gone to play with the others.

He nodded approvingly. "It's good to see you taking care of others at such a young age. Very impressive."

*Of course! We'll protect Ms. Luca, Great-Grandpa, and Daddy too!" Tommy declared proudly.

The child's words made the old man burst into laughter.

Luca smiled and said to Lanie, "Lanie, can you get a glass of water for your Great-Grandpa?"

"Sure!" Lanie stood up, fetched a glass of water, and respectfully placed it in front of Old Master Crawford. "Here you go, Great-Grandpa."

"Good boy!" Old Master Crawford was very pleased with how Luca had raised the kids.

"Grandpa, would you like some snacks?" asked Luca. He had been busy talking to people, so she figured he might be hungry.

Old Master Crawford shook his head. "No, I'm not hungry."

"Alright." Luca nodded.

They sat together until it was nearly time for the banquet to start. Luca helped Old Master Crawford up, and the three kids followed closely behind as they headed to the banquet hall.

Many people noticed Luca assisting Old Master Crawford.

Some of the guests could not help but whisper to each other, "Looks like he approves of Luke's choice of partner." "Of course. If he didn't, do you think she'd be here at the wedding?" replied another person.

"I told you to strike up a conversation with her earlier, but you refused because you didn't think she had the right status. Now, look. If Old Master Crawford himself acknowledges her, are you still going to say she's not good enough?" a man teased his wife.

"How was I supposed to know?" retorted the woman. "She was just sitting there with the kids, looking all isolated. No one was talking to her, so why should I?"

*Use your brain! Her status might not be official, but she's a pharmaceutical professor, for heaven's sake. Haven't you seen the reports? That medicine she developed has saved so many lives. Hospitals are using it for treatments, and it's much more effective than regular drugs!*

Another person overheard their conversation and could not help but chime in with a little information.

He had not spoken to Luca either.

It was simply because his company had nothing to do with pharmaceuticals.

If he were in that industry, he would have jumped at the chance to network with her. These people were so focused on the fact that Luca was Luke's girlfriend that they completely overlooked her impressive capabilities! The man scoffed at their narrow-mindedness.

"Is she really that impressive?" The woman who had been looking down on Luca just moments ago could not help but gasp in surprise.

"She is. The project she's working on now is being watched closely by the whole industry. Everyone's waiting for her to finish developing the new drug.

"Even if it doesn't turn out as groundbreaking as her last one, she has already made a name for herself. As long as nothing major goes wrong, her career is only going to keep soaring," explained the man.
