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

“She’s not ‘that woman,’ she’s Luca. If you’re not comfortable calling her Luca, you can call her Dr. Craw,” Queenie said, frowning because of Leia’s lack of manners.

Leia did not notice the change in Queenie’s expression. She continued, “Didn’t she come over during the day? Why is she here for dinner? Did she come over to steal the things from our house?”

Queenie was becoming irritated by what Leia said.

Steal their things? Luca was not like that.

That was what she thought in her mind, but she did not say that.

Seeing her mother not saying anything, Leia hugged Queenie’s hand and said eagerly, “Don’t blame me for being concerned, Mom. Sometimes, you have to assume the worst when dealing with outsiders like her. Dad’s a very successful politician, and our home has many precious items. Also, you only have two daughters…”

Queenie pulled her hand away and said, “Alright. The macaroni’s almost done. Go and wash your hands. You should go to bed after you eat.”

Leia could tell that Queenie was not interested in that topic. She continued, “Mom, you haven’t told me why she’s here.”

Queenie explained, “Luke brought her here. He said he wanted her to take my pulse and check on my condition.”

“Take your pulse? When she came over earlier, she didn’t take your pulse. Now that Luke invited her again and she’s here, can’t you tell that she must have an ulterior motive?” Leia said while washing her hands.

Queenie poured the macaroni into a bowl. “Supper’s ready.”

“You have to listen to me, Mom. Luke’s a charming man, and so many women wish that they could take over Bianca’s position. I’m sure that woman is either eyeing Luke’s riches or the things in our home… Didn’t you notice? She’s a hit with Luke’s children. They call her ‘Ms. Luca.’ Who knows if she tells them to call her ‘Mommy’ when no one’s around?” Leia said, not perturbed by the hot macaroni in her mouth.

When she was in her room earlier, she had heard the children call Luca “Ms. Luca” in such a friendly manner. She guessed that Luca was about the same age as her, but she had to be “Aunt Leia” instead.
