Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 301 Luke Could Instantly Guess the Reason

CEO's office, T Corporation.

"Mr. Crawford, I cannot be Ms. Rayne's defense lawyer in her divorce case.

I'm sorry." Walter stood in front of Luke’s desk. His face was scrunched up.

He was wracked with guilt for having declined Luke's request. After all, he enjoyed his current fame because of Luke.

Walter carefully glanced at Luke.

Luke was sitting casually on his chair. The sunlight that shone into the office from the floor-to-ceiling window highlighted his sculpted features.

He took a puff from a cigarette. Amid the swirling clouds of smoke, his slightly furrowed brows indicated his displeasure.

"Reason?" Luke flicked his cigarette. His harsh face showed no emotion.

"Shandra is back." Walter's expression was unreadable. "I've owed her too much. She even... removed her womb because of me. I didn't know that I'd caused her so much damage. I've always wanted to repay the debt, but she never lets me. She's too prideful to ask for anything from me, except this time..." "Shandra Cullen is Xavier's defense lawyer?" Luke instantly got to the point.

"Yes." Walter clenched his right fist tightly.

Luke knew about what happened between Walter and Shandra.

Shandra was a prideful individual. She was an outstanding layer, and she had made a name for herself for her penchant for engaging in quibble.

However, Shandra was never particular about her cases. She accepted any case for the right price, even if her client was a notorious criminal. That was why she had a mixed reputation among lawyers. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Walter continued, "Mr. Crawford, I have already contacted Mr. Irving Scott of Viva Law Firm. He usually handled international cases and is renowned inside and outside of the country. I know him quite well, and he has agreed to take over Ms. Rayne's divorce case. This is his information."

Walter handed a folder containing information about Irving Scott to Luke.

Luke did not read it immediately. He furrowed his brows, seeming to ponder about something.

"Alright then. Mr. Scott shall handle the divorce case," he said.

Walter breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Luke's next words made Walter nervous again. "You should find some closure between you and Shandra. You might accept her demands this time, but what about next time, or after that? The rules of this world are harsh. No one would unconditionally comply with her, unlike you."

Walter was on his way out of the office. He paused in his footsteps for a brief moment, let out a sigh, and went out through the door.

Leia was having dinner with her parents when she received the call from the detective agency.

She glanced nervously at her parents, saw that they were having small talk with each other, and went to the balcony before she answered the call.

Queenie handed a chicken wing to Jack while she noticed her daughter was acting secretively. "I say, Jack, do you see that? Our daughter has her little secrets now. She must be answering a call from her crush." "Leia isn't young anymore," Jack replied, "She should be already finding a partner in marriage and leave the entertainment industry as soon as possible. A woman should stay at home and take care of the children.

Jack was a chauvinist. He could not understand the mind of a woman. To him, he pursued whatever he liked without beating around the bush.

That was how he had courted Queenie.

Their relationship bloomed without any incident. In fact, their courtship did not last for long before they married.

Queenie was intelligent, considerate, and gentle. It was Jack's ideal personality, and he had devoted everything to her.

He might be an important politician, but he was also loving toward his wife.

Queenie did not fully agree with what Jack said. If not for him, she would have fulfilled her dreams by venturing into the entertainment industry.

However, she did not offer a retort. Instead, she said, "You've seen our daughter's crush before, and I've also seen his photo on the magazines she bought. He looks handsome in the photos. How does he look like in real life? He should be an outstanding individual for being able to manage a multinational corporation."

Queenie was worried that Luke in the magazine might look different in real life.

After all, it was not surprising if the photos were edited.

Jack seemed visibly excited when Luke was mentioned. "Doni worry about that. Luke is indeed as handsome as our Leia is pretty. The only thing is that he has two five-year-old children..." "The children won't be an obstacle if he has an eye for our Leia. In fact, the children might become a catalyst to deepen their affection toward each other. Leia is a gentle girl, and I believe she should adore children. If she can't take care of them, she can send the children here. I'm very willing to take care of them for her."

Queenie suffered heavy bleeding when she was in labor. Not only had she lost her child in her womb, but it had also caused her to be infertile. That had always been a psychological burden to her.

No one knew how eager she was to bear a child. Every time she walked on the street, she would have the urge to hug every cute child she saw.

While they chatted, Leia ended the call and returned from the balcony.

After greeting her parents, she was in a rush to head out. “I have some business outside. Enjoy your dinner. You don't have to wait for me."

She put on her coat and was about to open the door.

Jack was unhappy. "It's already so late. Who are you meeting?"

He was a strict father. He would not interfere in his daughter's personal life if she stayed out late at work. However, she was at home, he did not like her going out at night. That was improper!

Leia was anxious, but she patiently explained to her father. "My agent called me earlier, saying that there's a problem with the . I'll be back in an hour."

Jack did not say anything, but he frowned harder.

He looked down on people in the entertainment industry, thinking that it was beneath his status. For a conservative family like the Normans, he did not wish for his daughter to show her face in public. He thought it would be better if his daughter got a job as an office worker instead of an actress. However, his wife had supported his daughter's career choice, and he had no say in it.

Queenie stopped Leia, carefully wrapped a scarf around her neck, and gently told her to come back soon...
