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

Chapter 3453 Gouge Out Her Eyes

Abel's hand paused for a moment before he continued stroking her eyelids.

"What's wrong?" His voice was eerily low, carrying a chilling edge.

Hera could not see his expression, but just the sound of his voice was enough to send shivers down her spine.

"Thank you." Hera forced herself to smile, summoning what little courage she had.

"No need for thanks. Just be good from now on." Abel's fingers continued their slow, deliberate caress. It was like he was handling a priceless treasure.

Hera remained still, letting him touch her without protest. More than anything, she did not dare to speak.

She was terrified that if she broke the moment and interrupted whatever was going through his mind, he would be displeased.

At that moment, Luca brought the food to the table and asked, "Mr. Abel, Ms. Sanchez, lunch is ready. Would you prefer to eat here or in your room?"

"I'll go with whatever my baby wants." Hera smiled sweetly, masking her fear behind a bright smile. For some reason, she had this horrifying feeling that Abel might gouge out her eyes at any moment. "Babe, will you be staying for lunch?"

Abel had never been particularly interested in Luca's cooking. He was just about to refuse when a rich, savory aroma drifted through the air. He hesitated for a second before saying, " I'll eat here."

"Then we'll eat here," Hera quickly agreed.

Luca glanced at Hera's hands and noticed a faint tremor. She gave a slight nod and said, " Alright. Let's eat."

Hera still did not dare to move.

Only when Abel finally lifted his hand away from her face did she slowly open her eyes. For a moment, it felt as though she was seeing the world anew.

She had genuinely thought he was about to dig her eyes out...

Hera let out a quiet sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and took his hand. "Come on. Let's go eat in the dining room."

"Okay," replied Abel.

With that, they headed toward the dining area.

Luca turned to Gerald and said, "Call Mr. Shanks for lunch."
