Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3255 A Chance To Meet Each Other

Luke took her hand again, leaned in close, and brushed his chin against her. "If I didn't have a rule against hitting women, I'd be tempted to punch someone myself."

"Huh?" Luca was surprised. "But she's Mr. Mallory's mother."

Luke said indifferently, "So what? Sometimes, it's not about their identity. I don't hit them just because I don't want to hit a woman."

Luca could not help but laugh at his words.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, Aunt Neile walked in to report something.

*Sir, Ms. Craw, Madam Mallory has left, but..." She paused for a moment. "When I closed the door, I overheard Madam Mallory talking to Madam Crawford."

After closing the door earlier, Aunt Neile noticed some fallen leaves and started sweeping. That was when she overheard their conversation.

It was not a pleasant conversation, and by the end of it, the two women seemed to have teamed up.

Aunt Neile remembered that Susan and Karen never had a close relationship before.

"They're teaming up?" Luca raised an eyebrow, suspecting nothing good would come from those two joining forces.

They were probably at the villa across the street right now, gossiping about her and Luke.

Luca could not understand it. She was Luke's original wife, yet these two were treating her like she was the mistress.

It was ridiculous. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Luke ruffled her long hair. "Just ignore them."

"Okay." Luca nodded.

Seeing that neither of them was too concerned, Aunt Neile did not say much more, though the things Karen and Susan had said outside were not pleasant.

Two days later, Luke and Luca both received an invitation from Marcos to meet at his hotel.

However, instead of going to his room, they met in the restaurant downstairs.

Marcos had invited them to dinner.

"Good evening, Mr. Marcos," Luca greeted him with a smile as he approached.

"Good evening, Mr. Crawford, Ms. Craw," replied Marcos. He was still the picture of a refined foreign gentleman. After he greeted them, he pulled out a chair and sat across from them.

Luke glanced at Ethan, who was sitting a short distance away, and could not help but smirk.

Ethan was really on high alert with Marcos.

Even though Marcos was just meeting them in the restaurant, Ethan insisted on tagging along.

Instead of sitting at their table, he chose to sit at another table. He still kept an eye on them, or rather, on Marcos.

Luke looked away and asked, "Where's your friend?"

"He got some unexpected work and had to leave," Marcos emphasized the word "work".

Luke understood that this work was related to the Island of Despair.

He nodded, signaling that he got the message.

After ordering, Marcos added a dessert.

Luca chuckled and asked, "Mr. Marcos, do you have a sweet tooth?"

Marcos shook his head and replied, "It's for you. Ladies love sweets."

As soon as he said this, Luke did not react, but Ethan let out a cold snort.

He thought what Marcos did was embarrassing the Abaza family!

Matysh had come all the way to A City for this woman, only to get caught by the police and sentenced to prison. It was all her fault!

Marcos actually had the nerve to cozy up to that woman!

Ethan was furious as he saw Luke and Luca as enemies of the Abaza family, especially Luca, who was at the top of his list.

When Luca heard Ethan's cold snort, she frowned in displeasure.

Marcos noticed her reaction and shot a glare at Ethan. "Ethan, if the restaurant's food doesn't satisfy you, you're welcome to leave."

Ethan's eyes widened. "Why should I be the one to leave?"

"It's because you're being noisy," replied Marcos, reminding himself to stay calm and act like a gentleman. Otherwise, he might have already thrown a punch at this snarky Ethan.

"Mr. Crawford is a partner of M Group, and as the company's president, it's only polite for me to treat him to a meal before I leave A City. If you're worried I might betray M Group, you're welcome to listen in, but don't interrupt our dinner," warned Marcos.

Ethan's expression darkened.

Ever since Matysh was sentenced, Marcos seemed like a different person.

It was not that his personality had changed but rather the way he treated others.

It was as though Matysh's conviction had solidified Marcos's position within the Abaza family.

With the family now fully under his control, he no longer needed to cater to those who reported back to the old master.

After finishing his piece, Marcos returned to his usual gentle smile and looked at the two across from him.

"My apologies," said Marcos, not necessarily for Ethan's behavior but still with the utmost courtesy.

"It's fine. Don't let insignificant people affect your mood," Luke replied nonchalantly.

Ethan almost jumped out of his seat.

He was furious!

He knew Luke had never liked him, but Marcos' sudden change in attitude was a complete 180!

Ethan stared daggers at Marcos' approving smile, cursing him silently and vowing to report all of this to the old master as soon as he got back to Russia.

Luke, ignoring Ethan's dark thoughts, turned to Marcos and asked, "I heard you're heading back to Russia soon." Marcos nodded. "That's right. Now that things with Uncle Matysh are settled here, it's time for me to return. I've

been working remotely for too long."

"When's your flight?" asked Luca.

"Tomorrow afternoon," answered Marcos.

"So soon?" Luca had been thinking about finding a chance for Marcos to meet Sarah.

However, she did not expect him to leave tomorrow. Besides, with Ethan constantly around, it was going to be tricky for them to meet each other.

Marcos knew what she had in mind, so he nodded and added, "I've been working remotely for a while, and there's a lot of work piling up. Now that everything here is wrapped up, I need to get back and handle things.

"A lot of M Group's business partners are waiting for me to return."

Luca glanced at Ethan.

He was still glaring in their direction.

Was he not worried that he might choke on his food with all that staring?

Luca nodded and replied, "I was hoping to show you around A City a bit more, but I guess that'll have to wait."

"Thank you," said Marcos, appreciating her thoughtfulness. "Don't worry, there'll be plenty of opportunities to work with T Corporation in the future. I'll definitely be coming back to A City often."

"You're always welcome," replied Luke.

Luca gave him a warm smile, showing her goodwill.

Ethan, who was listening to their conversation, was secretly boiling with anger.

Noticing Ethan's gaze still fixed on them, Luke decided to provoke him a little more. "By the way, with you leaving

so soon. Does that mean Matysh has decided not to appeal?"

Marcos shot a glance at Ethan.

He smiled, then looked back at Luke. "There's likely going to be an appeal, but that's not for me to handle. Ethan here knows more about that than I do."
