Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3424 Slip In A Bit Of Praise For Herself Too

"What are you spacing out for?" Allison waited a few seconds, but when she saw that Sophian still had not taken the scarf, she turned to look at her, only to find her staring blankly at Lanie. She was clearly displeased.

Of course, she knew Lanie looked like Luke, but did she really have to stare at him like that?

Sophian came back to her senses and quickly took the scarf, fumbling to explain, "I just think Young Master Blanche looks a lot like Mr. Crawford."

Allison rolled her eyes. "Well, duh. They're father and son. How could they not look alike?"

Sophian let out an awkward chuckle and said nothing more.

Turning back, Allison softened her expression as she looked at Lanie. "Lanie, dear, tell me— what are you reading?"

Lanie held up his book and replied, "Grandma, I'm reading a medical book."

Allison froze for a moment. A medical book?

A bad feeling crept up on her. "Why are you reading medical books?"

"I think they're interesting," answered Lanie, a little confused by her reaction. Why could he not read medical books?

It was just reading. Besides, his father never said anything about it.

Allison frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "How did you do on your final exams this semester?"

"Rainie, Tommy, and I all got perfect scores," answered Lanie.

"Perfect scores?" Allison's face lit up with a broad smile.

However, Sophian, who was beside them, was completely stunned. "Perfect scores? That's amazing!"

Allison rolled her eyes at her. "Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Sophian awkwardly explained, "No, I just think Young Master Blanche is really impressive. I have a nephew who's the same age as him, but he only got around 90 this semester."

Allison was beaming with pride and reached out to pat Lanie's head. However, he dodged before she could touch him.

Allison paused for a moment, then brushed it off. She knew Lanie took after Luke. They both disliked physical affection.

"My grandkids have excellent genes. How can you compare them to other kids? Just look at Luke. His intelligence comes from me. He's always been great at academics." While showering the child with compliments, she made sure to slip in a bit of praise for herself too. Lanie was rendered speechless.

He had no idea how Allison did in school. That was way too long ago to verify. However, if she really was as smart as she claimed, then why had she been deceived so easily?noveldrama

Now that she had made a complete mess of herself, she looked neither human nor ghost. Was that what she called being smart?

Lanie was not the only one skeptical. Sophian had her doubts too.

If Allison was so capable, then why did she need an interpreter when she went to Seoul?

In her generation, a proper upbringing in a prestigious family would have included learning other languages. Allison could not even get a few simple words right.

Was this what she called being educated?

Sophian kept her thoughts to herself, not daring to voice them. She kept her gaze fixed on Lanie.

Lanie could feel her gaze, and it made him uncomfortable. Still, he endured it.

He knew this woman had feelings for his father, which was why she kept staring at him like that.

As for Allison's constant praise, he had long since become numb to it. After all, everyone he met always had something nice to say about him. Whether they were sincere or just pretending, he could not be bothered to tell the difference.

According to his father, there was no need to overthink it. As long as he knew he was good, that was enough.

With that thought in mind, Lanie asked, "Grandma, did you come here for something?"

Allison had originally wanted to ask about Luke.

However, she remembered that the kids had been living with him all this time. Of course, they would cover for him. Therefore, she replied, "I'm waiting for your dad to come home."

Lanie looked confused. "But Daddy isn't in A City."

"He's not in A City? That's impossible!" Allison thought the child was lying, and she was not happy about it. Still, she kept her expression kind. "Lanie, good kids don't lie. How could your father not be in A City? I heard he's been back from his business trip for a while now. That's why I came looking for him."

"Grandma, who told you that? They must have lied to you. Daddy's not in A City. You won't find him here." Lanie shook his head. His big, dark eyes practically screamed that he was not lying.

Allison frowned. She doubted that Lanie was lying. Kids were not good at hiding things, and if he were making it up, she would have noticed. If he was not lying, then there was only one

possibility.

Luke had tricked even his own kids just so he could spend time alone with Luca. Perhaps he had even fooled Old Master Crawford.

Allison chuckled and habitually reached out to pat Lanie's head.

However, remembering how much he disliked it, she quickly turned the motion into a casual scratch on her neck.

"So, do you know where your father went on his business trip?" Allison asked offhandedly. "He went abroad," Lanie answered without hesitation.

He knew exactly where his parents had gone. They had all agreed on their story.

If anyone asked, he would tell them that their father was on an overseas business trip.

"Abroad? For this long?" Allison was getting anxious. She quickly followed up, "Then do you know where his girlfriend went?"

Lanie immediately shook his head to show that he had no idea about it. “Grandma, we don't know."

"Why not?" Allison pressed.

"That lady only acts nice to us when Daddy is around. When he's not there, she doesn't treat us well, so we don't know much about her," Lanie said while silently apologizing to Luca in

his heart.

'Mommy, I didn't mean it.'

If Allison was not pushing so hard, he would not have had to lie.

Since Lanie knew he had to lie, he might as well tell one that would stop Allison from asking any more questions. At least this way, he would not have to deal with more trouble.

"Oh... Is that so?" Allison was genuinely surprised.

She had always thought Luca was good to the kids. It turned out that it was all just an act. Then again, she had never actually seen how Luca treated them in private. Hence, she believed what Lanie said.

Sophian could not help but feel a surge of excitement when she heard this.

If Luca treated Lanie poorly, then Sophian had the perfect opportunity. If she started treating him well, she could raise her standing in the kids' hearts. With that in mind, she

secretly made up her mind to be extra nice to the kids.

That way, she could push Luca out of Luke's life even faster.

"Yes!" Lanie knew that Allison was trying to find out where Luca was so that she could

figure out where Luke was.

He asked, "Grandma, you want to know if we know where that lady is, right? Honestly, we have no idea. After Daddy left us here, we've only had one meal with him and that lady. He hasn't been back since."

Allison was disappointed, but there was not much she could do. If the kids didn't know, who else could she ask?

"So, none of you know anything..." Allison's voice carried a hint of frustration.

"Yeah, we don't know. Plus, Daddy went on a business trip, and that lady doesn't really like interacting with us. She wouldn't come to see us on her own," added Lanie.

Allison's curiosity piqued when she heard this, and she leaned in, her voice dropping as she asked, "What does your great-grandpa think of this woman?"
