Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 413 Happy Family On New Year's Day

On New Year's Eve, Luke, Bianca, and the twins sat in front of the television while eating supper.

Luke and Bianca did not eat much at Crawford Manor.

As they ate, Luke and Bianca's phones did not stop vibrating. They were all messages wishing Happy New year, and most of them were copied and pasted.

Bianca's messages were from her good friends, as well as scolleagues and clients.

She replied to every message as a form of courtesy.

Luke, on the other hand, did not bother.

He replied to the messages from several good friends while ignoring those who wanted to flatter him.

It was a simple supper, but the family was happy.

The twins got tired after supper, and they went to bed early.

Luke wanted to carry Bianca to the bedroom. It had been a long day, and Bianca must be tired, not to mention that she was pregnant. However, Bianca insisted that she make a pot pie.

According to her family tradition, the first meal of the new year should be a pot pie. It signified togetherness and good luck.

Luke was not keen on the plan because he did not wish for Bianca to overwork herself. He eventually compromised after Bianca begged him repeatedly.

The two started getting busy again in the kitchen.

The fridge had all the ingredients they needed. Bianca thought of making a meat filling since the twins were carnivores.

Luke offered to do the rough work while Bianca sat on a stool and gave instructions.

Following Bianca's instructions, he washed a piece of pork and beef, turned it into mincemeat with a meat grinder, then added spices as well as chopped spring onions and garlic. After adding salt, oil, and other seasonings, the pie filling was done.

After that, Luke was in charge of making the crust.

No matter how he tried, he could not get the crust flat in the pan. Bianca laughed when she saw the lumpy and misshapen piece of dough.

She did not expect that the capable and talented Luke would be helpless in the kitchen.

In the end, she redid the crust, lined the pan, and sealed the top.

It was already one o'clock when everything was done. They retired to the bedroom.

Bianca's body was cold, but Luke's body was like a raging fire. He hugged her in his arms, and she listened to his steady heartbeat. Even now, she thought that it was all a dream.

She had idolized him when she was younger, and she thought that they would never meet again. However, fate was so unpredictable, and her Prince Charming was not by her side. Nothing else seemed important. 1

At five o'clock in the morning, even before the sky was lit, Bianca was woken up by the crackling sounds of firecrackers.

The A City Council had forbidden firecrackers, but speople set them off in secret. It would not feel like New Year's Day if there were no firecrackers.

Bianca wanted to get up, but Luke hugged her tightly, and she could not move.

Luke was usually an early-riser. It was the first tthat he wanted to sleep in on New Year's Day because the woman he loved was in his arms.

"Wake up, Daddy, Mommy!" The two children banged on their door.

Bianca smiled, looked at the man who was hugging her tightly, and told him that he should get up.

While Luke dressed up, he looked at Bianca with resentment, as though he was like an aggrieved child.

At that moment, he thought that having children in the house might not always be a good thing. He and his wife would be able to spend more intimate tif not for the children!

The people who lived in the neighborhood were all very well-off, and they did not care much for the city council's restrictions. The streets were lively compared to other neighborhoods.

The sounds of firecrackers cfrom new and far in all directions. It had disrupted the tranquility of the morning, but it gave the day a festive touch, i

While Bianca reheated the pie in the oven, she also set the dining table.

Luke took out a string of firecrackers and set it off in the yard with the children.

The twins cheered. After that, she could hear the twins' inquisitive questions.

"Why do we set off firecrackers on New Year's Day, Daddy?" "Why are we eating pie on New Year's Day, Daddy?"

Luke answered their questions patiently. As Bianca looked through the window and saw their interactions, her heart was fully immersed in a feeling of bliss.

The courageous Lanie volunteered to light up a string of firecrackers. He seemed quite excited about it.

Rainie was not as brave. She covered her ears and hid far away, and she would shriek when she heard the abrupt explosions of firecrackers.

She ran around the yard while covering her ears.

Her brother smiled mischievously. He lit a firecracker and threw it behind his sister, then laughed uncontrollably.

Rainie saw the lit firecracker rolling toward her like a swift mouse. She shrieked for her mother and ran toward the kitchen.

However, the firecracker continued to follow her as though it had eyes. Rainie was on the brink of tears. "You're a meanie, Big Bro!" She shrieked while calling her parents for help. She was only relieved when Luke picked her up with a smile.

The little princess was trembling in Luke's arms while she rested on his shoulder. Her eyes still had tears of shock.

Luke gently kissed his daughter's cheek while frowning with disapproval at his son.

Lanie ran into the kitchen to seek his mother's protection while laughing.

After that, they ate the pie for breakfast with much glee and celebration.

Luke drove the family to Crawford Manor to visit Old Master Crawford. Then, they went to visit Old Master Rayne.

The old folks gave the two children smoney as a sign of good luck.

Bianca encouraged them to save the money so that they could use it on something meaningful.

After coming back from Old Master Rayne's house, Luke prepared to bring the family to Jim Holston's house. Jim had invited Luke to visit him several times, but Luke had always been busy with work.

As he drove, Luke turned on the radio.

He and Bianca both loved listening to the radio.

The raonly had sounds and voices, and the rest was up to one's imagination. Sometimes, it could be more interesting than watching television.

After listening to several songs, a touching story attracted Bianca's attention...
