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

Chapter 3405 I'm The Only One Holding On

As Luca thought about it, she heard the volunteer exclaim, "With a wife like you, your husband must be so lucky and blessed."

Luca shook her head. To her, being cherished by Luke was a real blessing.

"You've got it wrong. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Luca had often wondered what her life would have been like without Luke.

Perhaps she would have married Jean, only to watch his true nature slowly reveal itself. She would have struggled, eventually unable to endure it, and maybe even ended up divorced.

It could be something worse. She might have been taken advantage of, lost all hope, and spiraled downward... Anything was possible.

However, Luca knew that no matter what happened, life would not be as good as it was now without Luke. Though she remained under someone else's control, and life on the Island of Despair was fraught with hardship, with Luke by her side, she felt an unshakable courage.

A light laugh from the volunteer interrupted her thoughts.

Luca then heard the volunteer say, "That's not entirely true. You see him as the best thing that's ever happened to you, but you might not realize that you're his blessing too. Marriage is about mutual support, and the fact that you two met each other is a great fortune."

Luca could not help but feel curious when she heard his heartfelt words. "You seem pretty moved by this. Did something happen to you back in the day?"

"Ms. Craw, how are you so smart?" The volunteer could not help but let out a sigh.

"I once had a very deep relationship."

Luca did not press further.

I was in school, I had a crush on a girl in my class. She wasn't what you'd call conventionally pretty, but when she smiled, she had the most adorable dimples. I remember wondering how someone could be so cute. I couldn't help but be drawn to her. Back then,

came back and told me she liked me too. So, we started dating. Back in those days, if you started a relationship early, it would last a long time. I made up my mind to marry her.
