Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3409 He's Really Scared

Hera let out a cold sneer, feeling that Gerald's apology was not sincere.

Hera did not want to press the issue at the moment. She gave him a sharp look. "Come with me."

Gerald knew that Hera was up to something again. If it were a normal order, she would have just said it in the living room.

Whenever she called him aside, it meant whatever she had to say could not be overheard by others.

Reluctantly, Gerald followed her out.

It was midday, and as soon as Hera stepped out of the living room, a wave of heat hit her face.

The intense warmth made her feel uncomfortable.

Hera got straight to the point, turning to Gerald. "What did Luca say to you just now?"

"She just asked me to help keep an eye on the volunteer," Gerald answered honestly. This was not something that needed to be kept secret.

Hera frowned. "Is she going out"

Gerald hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say anything.

"I'm talking to you, not the wall. Are you mute?" Hera threatened. "If you lie to me, I'll tell your boss you're bullying me."

Gerald's expression grew frantic. "Ms. Sanchez, please, if the boss believes you, I'm done for."

"Scared? Then tell me what's going on! And don't think I'm joking when I say bullying. It's not the kind of bullying you think it is. It's more like..." Hera tugged at her clothes, emphasizing her point.

Gerald stepped back in fear, turning his head away. "Yes, Ms. Craw is going out."

"Where's she going?" asked Hera.

"She didn't say, I don't know," replied Gerald, still too afraid to look at her. The scene before him was too tempting, and he feared that if he looked even once, Abel would have his eyes removed.

He remembered what he had heard yesterday when the man who had dragged the doctor away told him about it.

The doctor had been tortured by the boss for hours, and still, he had the nerve to threaten him.

Now the man was dead, dumped into the sea.

Despite being a wanted fugitive, Gerald valued his life.

He did not want to end up crippled or worse-dead.

Hera was not satisfied with the answer. "So, you're saying you're not going to tell me?"

"Ms. Sanchez, I don't have a reason to hide anything from you. She didn't tell me, so what could I say?" Gerald was at his wit's end. He knew she was not happy, but he could not just make up a lie.

If Hera found out he was lying later, he would be in even bigger trouble.

"Hmph, useless!" curses Hera. Then, she kicked him in the leg.

Gerald staggered and almost fell.

He barely managed to steady himself.

Hera let out a cold scoff and warned, "If I find out you're lying to me, you're not going to like the consequences."

After saying that, Hera turned and walked back into the living room.

Gerald heaved a sigh. His life was truly miserable.

His thoughts drifted to Luca, who was in the kitchen preparing lunch. He felt torn between two choices, as though two little devils were waging war in his mind.

Should he tell Luca?

After standing there, lost in thought for more than ten minutes, Gerald made up his mind and walked straight into the kitchen.

"Ms. Craw, let me help," said Gerald.

Luca shook her head. "No need. I'm almost done."

"Actually, there's something I need to tell you. Earlier, when you asked me to keep an eye on the volunteers, Ms. Sanchez overheard us. She asked me if you were going out, and if so, who you'd be meeting. I didn't want to hide anything, so I told her you'd be going out, but I didn't know who you'd be meeting. I think she's just jealous of Lucius, so you'd better be careful."

Luca was surprised. She had not expected Hera, who had calmed down for a couple of days, to stir up trouble again.

Although she was not going to meet Lucius, she was meeting Luke.

If Hera saw her meeting with him, it could cause trouble.

At the thought of this, Luca decided she needed to be extra careful when she went out later.

If Hera followed her, she would have to find a way to shake her off.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you," Luca thanked him.

Although Hera was not exactly a professional stalker, Luca knew she would easily spot her if she followed.

Still, what if Hera managed to sneak up on her?

What if she missed something and Hera caught on in her rush to meet Luke?

That would be a problem.

Gerald had really done her a big favor.

"Is there anything you need me to buy for you?" Luca did not like owing favors. Since Gerald had not been able to go out lately, she figured he must be missing some things.

Even though online shopping was convenient, not everything could be bought that way. She thought she might as well help him out while she was at it.

"Yes!" Gerald's eyes lit up. "But there's a lot of stuff."

"No problem. I'll get it for you when I come back," replied Luca.

"Great! I'll make a list. Thank you so much, Ms. Craw!" Gerald headed off to prepare the list excitedly.

Luca sent a quick message to Luke, informing him that Hera had been keeping an eye on her and that she might be delayed by ten minutes or so. She assured him not to worry.

It seemed like Luke had been waiting for her message. He quickly replied, telling her that he understood.

After lunch, Luca checked on the volunteers and gave Gerald instructions on what to do before she left.

When Hera saw Luca leave, her eyes darkened, and she quietly followed her.

Gerald, who had been keeping an eye on Hera, noticed her leaving right after Luca and quickly texted her: [Ms. Sanchez is following you.]

Luca saw the message from Gerald and realized Hera was indeed trailing behind her.

Her eyes narrowed. Fortunately, she had been to X City several times before, and with her experience helping to repair the ancestral hall during the New Year, she was familiar with

the area and its surroundings.

Luca was confident that she could easily shake off Hera.

She hailed a taxi and told the driver her destination.

It had not been long after the driver started the car when Luca noticed that Hera had alsonoveldrama

hailed a taxi and was following closely behind her.

"She just won't leave me alone," Luca muttered under her breath.

"Excuse me, miss did you say something?" The driver thought she was talking to him and

checked to make sure.

Luca came back to her senses, realizing the misunderstanding. She quickly explained, "

Sorry, I wasn't talking about you."

The driver nodded and did not bring it up again.

The ride took only ten minutes.

When Luca paid and got out of the car, she noticed that the taxi following her also stopped

by the side of the road.

However, Hera had not gotten out yet.

A sly smile curved at the corners of Luca's lips.

It seemed like it had been a long time since she had any inclination to tease someone.

Today, she would let Hera experience a lighthearted tease.

Looking at the ancestral hall before her, Luca felt a sense of familiarity. This place held the joint effort of both her and Luke's. She knew every door, every room, and what each led to.

She walked briskly toward the entrance.

Inside the taxi, Hera watched as Luca entered the ancestral hall. She paused for a moment. Her gaze was drawn to the words ancestral hall that were written on the sign. She felt a sense of confusion. Who would have a date in a place like this?

Was she going to offer sacrifices to ancestors?

Moreover, Lucius was Russian, not Western. Their ancestors would be completely different.

"Miss, are you getting out?" Seeing that she had not gotten out of the taxi and had not told him to drive on, the taxi driver decided to ask her directly.
