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

However, Amur could not catch evidence of Luca lying to him. "Got it. If anything happens, I'll tell you."

"You need to protect yourself, Amur. We'll be free soon," replied Luca.

Amur was taken aback for a moment.

Freedom? He knew how to read and write the word, but he had never dared to dream about it.

Perhaps he once used to dream about it.

When they were still on the Island of Despair, Luca told him what freedom was, and he had dreamed about it then.

Standing in the outside world meant freedom.

However, as days passed with the brutal training on the Island of Despair, he realized that even when he was out there, he was not free at all.

Despite having control over much of his time, he was still bound by the commands of the Island of Despair. He also had to regularly return to the base for the antidote.

Without the antidote, he might have more freedom, but it would come at the cost of his life.

Amur never doubted that he could sacrifice his life for a moment of freedom.

However, he had a burden on his back now. That meant he could not make freedom contingent on giving up his life.

If something happened to him, things would be terrible for Eler and Luca on the Island of Despair.

Hence, Amur did not need that kind of freedom.

"Luca, why do you say that?" Amur knew that Luca had developed the antidote.

Still, what good was the antidote? Their most valued people were still on the Island of Despair.

As long as Eler and Nyla were still there, they would not be free.

"I just have a feeling. Trust me, okay?" Luca knew that Amur was tormented by the missions and had lost some desire for survival.

If it were not for Eler and Nyla, and if it were not for her...

He might have failed the missions long ago.

Each time he completed a mission, he gained great benefits. Yet, he could not break free from the cage of the Island of Despair. Thus, each reward was meaningless to him.

For those from the Island of Despair, material wealth was not gained through money but through one's own fists and abilities.

Luca understood this clearly.

Therefore, no matter how much money there was, it was meaningless to Amur.

"I trust you." Even if Amur had lost his longing for freedom, he was still willing to choose to trust Luca. At least, he could appear calm on the surface.

As for his inner self, he had already numbed himself through constant killing and training.

Luca let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, just be careful. Before real freedom arrives, promise me you'll be okay. Think about it. You're everything to Eler. She hasn't seen the outside world yet..."

"I know, Luca. I won't easily give up hope for life," Amur promised her.

Missions were not always smooth sailing. He had also undertaken life- threatening missions, but it was his strong inner belief that sustained him, allowing him to seize opportunities in that one-tenth chance.

It was because he had to protect Eler, Luca, and Nyla.

After ending the call, Luca let out a deep sigh.

She felt heavily burdened...

Luca was not sure what was wrong with her, but whenever she heard Amur's voice, she felt suffocated.

She even had a feeling that she might lose Amur at any moment.

Shaking her head, Luca murmured softly, "What are you thinking? Amur will survive. He'll be fine."

Moreover, she would not allow anything to happen to him either.

Luca felt slightly dazed. She set her phone aside and lay down. Even though it had been three days since they left, there was still a faint scent of Luke on the pillow. It was pleasant and comforting.

She turned her face to the side, closed her eyes, and felt as though she were being embraced by him.

As drowsiness enveloped her, she gradually closed her eyes.

Luca was not sure how long she had slept when she felt several pairs of eyes watching her. Also, she did not just hear one person's breathing. It seemed like three or maybe even more...

She opened her eyes and indeed saw three children standing by the bed, smiling at her brightly.

Surprised, Luca sat up. "Huh? When did you finish school?"

"We just got home!" Tommy said cheerfully, "Aunt Neile said you were resting upstairs, so we came in!"

Rainie also chimed in, "Yeah, Daddy initially said you were resting and didn't want us to come in. Lanie said we'd be having dinner soon, so Daddy finally let us in. Ms. Luca, we missed you so much."

"Uh-huh," Lanie nodded coolly, agreeing with Rainie's words and indicating that he also missed her.

"Ms. Luca, I miss you too!" Tommy exclaimed happily. He wanted to climb onto the bed and cuddle with Luca.

However, Lanie stopped him. "Tommy, your clothes are dirty. Don't climb up."

"How am I dirty?" Tommy grumbled unhappily, "I'm not dirty. My clothes aren't

dirty!"

"You had PE class today. You

sweated a lot. How could you not be

dirty? Daddy is a neat freak. If he

knows you're all sweaty and you still

climbed into the bed..." Lanie did not finish his sentence. The content is on

Tommy shivered at the thought. If he climbed onto the bed after sweating during

PE class, his bottom might get spanked!

At the thought of this, he obediently stood by the bed and said to Luca, "Ms.

Luca, please get up soon. Aunt Neile has already prepared dinner."

"Okay, let's go eat. But I need to change clothes first." Luca glanced at her

pajamas.

Usually, she would not mind wearing pajamas, but since Nina was still staying here, she did not want to be too casual, lest she be laughed at.

Even though she was not worried about Nina's teasing, it would not make a good

impression.

"Okay, Ms. Luca. We'll wait for you

downstairs," replied Rainie as she pulled Tommy's and Lanie's hands. They walked out of the bedroom together and thoughtfully closed the door behind them. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

After the kids left, Luca changed out of her pajamas into casual clothes and then

walked out of the master bedroom.

At that moment, Luke emerged from

the opposite bedroom and saw Luca's slightly disheveled hair.

Smiling, he approached her and helped her to tidy it up. "Your hair is a

mess." The content is on

"I forgot to fix it," Luca said with embarrassment as she ran her fingers through

her hair. However, she did not feel embarrassed since this man had seen every

side of her.

She felt a bit embarrassed only because she realized she was not very

presentable in front of the children earlier.

"Let's go. It's time for dinner," said Luke as he brushed through Luca's hair to

straighten it before holding her hand and leading her downstairs.

Luca asked, "Has Nina finished work?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't been downstairs." Luke shook his head. After they came

back, he had been busy handling work documents in the bedroom.

The backlog of tasks from the past two days was ridiculous, and he would have

to work overtime tonight to get through them all. Such days were exhausting, but fortunately, Luca was still by his side.
