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

‘Four people? Me and the children?’

Luca looked at Luke, wondering if he would sleep on the couch or the floor.

She glanced at the couch. The room was spacious enough to accommodate a bigger couch, but the bed was big, so the couch had to be smaller.

It was not going to fit Luke.

That meant that he would have to sleep on the floor.

Luca asked, “Where will you be sleeping then, Mr. Crawford?”

There was an ambiguous grin on Luke’s face. Through the dim light, Luca could not tell if he was smiling.

Before Luke answered the question, Tommy rubbed his eyes and said, “Daddy can sleep on the floor. Ms. Luca, can you read me a bedtime story?”

Luca could not bear to see the child so sleepy. She went over to the bed and patted the spot next to her. “Let’s sleep.”

Tommy lay down on the bed. Lanie and Rainie soon followed suit.

Luca glanced at Luke again. He was looking in the direction of the bed.

She was dressed in the silk gown, which accentuated the curves of her body.

As the nightlight shone on her scattered long hair, her figure seemed to have captivated his soul.

Luke swallowed, trying to keep the lump in his throat down. He watched Luca lie on the bed and, with her gentle voice, tell the children a bedtime story.

Rainie was a girl who enjoyed fairy tale stories about princes and princesses. Lanie did not have the habit of listening to bedtime stories, but he preferred to read science fiction stories. Tommy was about the same because of Lanie’s influence.

The three children on the bed had different preferences, but Luca somehow managed to tell a story that all three of them enjoyed.

They were listening to her story with great interest, and they did not make a sound.
