Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1215

Chapter 1215 Would You Believe That It's Only a Coincidence?

"I can't remember." Luca shook her head. She should not have been so careless.

In that atmosphere, she was not in the mood to pay attention to the details.

It did not matter if she did not remember. After all, they could check the surveillance cameras if they wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Abel was much more meticulous than that.

Even if they managed to identify the waiter, they would not be able to trace it back to Abel.

Luke's expression sank. He did not expect such an incident to happen in a six-star hotel.

Luca could sense the iciness in his eyes. "Forget it. You won't be able to find out anything." "How would you know?" Luke raised his eyebrows. Luca seemed to have an answer for everything, but those answers seemed so perfunctory. He could not believe her.

Luca did not have a reply for that. The antidote had alleviated the physical effects of the drug, but her thoughts were still in a muddle. If she were not careful, she might accidentally divulge something.

She wanted to knock her head in case water went into her brain when she was soaking in the bathtub earlier.

"I was... just guessing..." Luca knew that Luke was not so easily convinced, but she could not think of a better explanation.

Luke narrowed his gaze. Did she think that he could be deceived so easily?

He stood up from the couch, walked up to her, and towered over her.

Luca's breathing becshallow because of the intense pressure that Luke was emanating. His penetrating gaze seemed to see through everything, including her anxiety.

"Why do you want to hide the truth?" Luke leaned slightly forward. He could see that she was trying her best to keep her cool, but that had caused his heart to skip a beat.

Luca shook her head and sighed. "That's because I don't want to court trouble."

She seemed to be trying to keep attention away from her. That happened when she took in Tommy when he ran away from him. Then, she helped Queenie anonymously.

She was the victim, but Luke could tell that she did not wish to pursue the matter.

What was the woman trying to hide from him? Luke was deathly curious. She was but a stranger, but she had somehow attracted her.

Luke's instinct told him that he had to get to the bottom of the matter.

The two people continued to look at each other.

He did not say anything, and Luca was not going to break the silence either. Remembering that when she was Bianca and had first returned to A City, she dared not look at Luke eye to eye.

He had slowly warmed up to her with his expressions of love. It was when she had nowhere to run to that she began to look into his eyes. The gaze between them was as sweet as honey and flowing like water.

Now, they were looking at each other like they were two duelists. She could not expose her weaknesses to him, and there was no affection in her gaze.

Luca wanted so much to hug him and break down into tears as she told him what had happened over the past three years, but her conscience told her that she could not do so.

Nyla would suffer if Luca decided to compromise.

Abel had kept Nyla hostage on the Island of Despair. He had not done anything to her yet, but if Luca decided to disobey him one day, her daughter would be the victim. 1

She knew that the impostor Bianca was abducted to the Island of Despair when she was a young girl, and what had happened to her...

Luca's gaze becdetermined when she thought of that. She was not going to let Nyla experience the sthing as well.

Luke noticed the change in her expression from sorrow, to hesitation, to determination.

He wondered what she was thinking to cause that rapid change.

In any case, Luke was only thinking of one thing. He wanted to find out the real reason she had come to A City.

If the meeting between her and Tommy was a coincidence, what about Queenie?

Everything that she did seemed to be related to the people around him.

Luke could not help but get to the bottom of it.

"Your career was on an upward trajectory in Russia. Why did you choose to cto A City to advance your career?" Luke stood straight and tall. Even though he had been rushing around earlier, his clothes remained impeccable, and his demeanor was frigid.

Luca narrowed her gaze when she heard that question. "It's my freedom to advance my career wherever I want. You askedbefore why I had chosen to join Watson, and now you're asking me why I had cto A City. The answer to the two questions is the same." 'The answers are the same?' Luke felt frustration and anger brewing within her when he heard that answer. She seemed quite casual about it.

Luke gently clenched his fingers but did not form fists.

"You said that taking Tommy in was a coincidence. What about Queenie then?" He asked, not giving her a chance to find even more excuses.

'Queenie?' Luca was taken aback, and her gaze wavered. "I..." "You know what I'm asking about. You stood outside the front gate of the Norman residence for more than an hour. Were you really waiting for something?" Luke interjected. His tone was quite aggressive because he was eager to know the answer.

Luca knew very well that he was able to find out that she had waited in front of the Norman residence.

"My friend was very late that day," she said. That was the lie she had told Queenie, and she was not going to change her statement.

"Your friend was late? Who is your friend, and why did you agree to meet them there? Do they live nearby?" Luke continued asking. The Norman residence was in a residential area, and there were no shopping malls nearby.

"You seem to be very interested in me, Mr. Crawford." Seeing that there was no use making up even more excuses, she tried to shift the conversation topic.

"Everything that you do is somehow related to the people who are close to me." Luke leaned closer. He could faintly detect her scent.

Luca lowered her head. "Would you believe it if I told you that it's only a coincidence?" "If it's only a coincidence, why would you take her pulse, and why would you send her the antidote?" Luke could not believe such farfetched explanations.

"I happened to pass by, and I happened to know smedicine. I don't wish to see Mrs. Norman suffer, and I don't want to be disturbed by other people. That was why I sent the antidote in a package. I've already made my intentions clear, but you managed to findanyway. Don't you know that you're givinga lot of trouble?"

Luke frowned as he heard her explanation. She had not explained why she was standing in front of the Norman residence.

Everyone in A City knew that Queenie's illness was chronic. He believed that she had deliberately shown up there.

Just when Luke wanted to ask more questions, his phone began to ring.
