Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 1739 Manipulated

Jean asked with concern seeing that she refused to share her troubles, "What's the matter?”

Luca shook her head, smiled slightly, and just said, "It's nothing.”

Jean noticed that she had frowning eyes, and it was as though they contained endless sadness. Unfortunately, she refused to talk and instead looked at him without saying anything else.

Two glasses of cocktails arrived at the table. Luca took a sip and said, "This bartender is great at what he does. The cocktail is delicious.”

"If you like it, drink more. When you can't express the sadness in your heart, you can be more free and easy after a few drinks,” Jean said as he ordered Luca an extra drink without asking her.

Luca did not stop him.

Before she set off, she took a drug that would help keep her sober regardless of how much she drank. Seeing that he had ordered another drink for her, she raised her head and chugged the drink in her hand.

Jean blinked, not expecting Luca to be so bold when it came to drinking.

"Luca, it's easy to get drunk if you drink like this." He pretended to advise her but was secretly hoping that Luca would get drunk.

Luca put her elbows on the table to support her chin, blinked, and said, “I'm not very good at drinking, so it's easy for me to get drunk. However, if I don't get drunk, I can't help but think about my problems.”

Luca looked at him silently and seized the opportunity to ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Nina?"

"Nothing happened. She's in a safe place," Jean said as he shook his head.

"Is that so? That means that she’s mad at me! Otherwise, why would she not respond to me when I reach out to her?" Luca acted sadly and continued talking, "She's my only friend here, but she misunderstood me... I can't believe that she’s not even going to give me a chance to explain myself."

"What happened between the two of you?" Jean continued to ask.

"Remember how I was there last time you went to Nina's apartment?” Luca said.

Jean nodded.

"She asked me over to accompany her to prevent Mr. Percy from coming in. I stayed with her for two days but I had a banquet to go to one night. I drank a lot that night and felt very uncomfortable, so I went back to my apartment to rest. Next thing I knew, I couldn't contact her anymore!"

Jean was stupefied.

Luca continued talking, "Maybe she thought that I didn't accompany her on purpose, but she doesn't know that I was feeling extremely uncomfortable that night. That's why I went back to my apartment to rest. I felt horrible. I went to knock on her door the next day and she didn’t respond. Jean, I regard Nina as my best friend. Why is she so cruel to me?"

Jean was speechless. He knew that Nina was not angry with Luca for that reason.

However, he did not know how to explain it. All he could do was to comfort her. "Maybe she just has something to attend to. She'll come to you when she’s done with her work.”

He thought that Pierre would not keep Nina imprisoned for long. He would surely let her out after he tamed her.

Luca took Jean's hand and pressed him for more information like a drunkard. "Do you know where Nina is? Please tell me. I want to explain myself to her.”

Jean lost all rationality after he was held by her soft hand. He said, "She's with a friend and will be back soon. I believe she’s not the kind of person that would hold on to such petty matters.”

When Luca heard that, she understood what was going on.

Jean did know where Nina was.

"I'm worried. You're her brother, so you must know where she is. How about this? If it's inconvenient for you, please help me send her a message,” Luca said.

"Okay." Jean was overwhelmed by her coquettish behavior and nodded quickly in agreement.

Luca knew that her goal had been achieved but it was not enough. She asked, "You mentioned that Nina went to her friend's place. Is she still in A City, then?"
