Before Allison could ask anything, the villa’s door slowly opened. She turned to look at the door.After a while, she saw Mr. Griffin’s figure appear behind the door. He was carrying a blanket in her hands.Allison turned to look at Luke. “Get out of the car.” Luke’s voice was cold. There was not even a trace of warmth or affection in his voice. Allison probably did not notice that Luke had not addressed her as his mother since she got into the car at the airport until now…Mr. Griffin walked toward Allison. She smiled and opened the door for her. Then, she handed the blanket to Allison and said, “Welcome back, Ms. Allison.” Allison pulled a sulky face, covered herself tightly with the blanket, and got out of the car. When she noticed that Sophian was still sitting in the car, she snarled, “Get out of the car.”"Okay, Ms. Allison." Sophian was fascinated when she was looking at Luke from behind. After she was reminded by Allison, she hurried out of the car with her face b
"Sophian, if you hadn’t said anything just now, we probably wouldn’t have to stay here anymore." Allison let out a sigh. She was trying hard to find an excuse and see if she could move to Crawford Manor just now. However, what Sophian said made her give up hope. “Huh? Ms. Allison, did I say something wrong?” Sophian was confused. What she said was right. It was indeed unsuitable for Allison to use new furniture now. She already had a poor skin condition. If her skin was affected, she might need to head to the hospital for hormone therapy. “I thought of using the furniture as an excuse to move back to Crawford Manor.” Allison looked at the interior of the living room. After she bought this villa, she spent a huge amount of money to renovate it.She was satisfied with the renovation back then. However, no matter how she looked at it now, she could not get used to it.“Crawford Manor?” Sophian asked in confusion. Was that where Luke was staying?“The value of that house can buy
Old Master Crawford shook his head and said, “How boring. I guess I’ll have to wait for Luke to come over on New Year’s Eve to play chess with me.”Mr. Griffin smiled. Luke was the only one in this family who could play chess with Old Master Crawford.Old Master Crawford spoke again, “Give me my phone. I’d better figure out what the woman Allison brought back here is up to.”"Old Master Crawford, wait a minute." Mr. Griffin headed to Old Master Crawford's bedroom, picked up his phone, and handed it to him.Old Master Crawford called Luke.After a while, Luke answered the call, “Grandpa, what’s the matter?”“I heard that Allison brought someone else back with her? Isn’t she the interpreter you hired?” Old Master Crawford asked. “The interpreter is still in Seoul. She’s not planning to come back.” Luke paused for a moment and said, “That woman is one of the personal nurses from the plastic surgery hospital.”“Why did she bring a personal nurse back here?” Old Master Crawford cou
As Luke looked at how troubled Luca was, he placed the ladder beside the osmanthus tree. “Have you thought of how we should hang the lights?” Luke smiled and asked. Luca shook her head, telling him that she was in a dilemma. Luke squeezed her hand and said, “The landscapers did leave us a spot to hang these back then.”Luca exclaimed in surprise, “Really?”Luca was definitely not as professional as the landscapers when it came to decorating the garden. If the landscapers had left them a spot, then hanging the decorative lights there would definitely look good. “Aunt Neile, connect the power plug to the socket outside the entrance.” Luke took a bunch of colored decorative lights out of the bag and handed the plug to Aunt Neile. “Okay, Mr. Crawford.” Aunt Neile took the plug from him and walked away to connect it to the socket. Luca noticed that there were small hooks on the outside of the wall. She thought they were for other decorations, but she did not expect that they c
Luke prepared the rice, while Luca did the cooking. They teamed up and divided their work. It was quick. Lanie held his phone in his hands. Tommy and Rainie urged Lanie to record it down with his phone. Lanie stood at the kitchen door, recording the sweet and cute moment between Luke and Luca. After Lanie finished recording, he tiptoed his way back to the living room and sat on the sofa.Tommy asked excitedly, “Lanie, did you record it?”Rainie took Lanie’s phone from him and said, “You don’t have to worry if Lanie recorded it. He must have. Let me see.”Rainie opened the phone gallery and saw that the latest video recorded showed the scene in the kitchen.Tommy exclaimed, “Daddy is actually helping out in the kitchen. How fascinating…”“That’s not the main point. The point is, Daddy and Mom—Ms. Luca, they're a match made in heaven!” Rainie looked at the phone, feeling envious.Would she meet a perfect match meant for her in the future?Rainie turned to look at Lanie and h
Crawford Manor would be like a battlefield if Allison was there. The old master would definitely be willing to come over. “No problem,” replied Luca. There was another guest room upstairs. It was just that there was no elevator in the villa. It might be slightly difficult for the old master to climb the stairs. “Alright, I’ll bring them over first,” said Luke. “Okay.” Luca nodded and followed him downstairs. After she watched them leave, she sat on the sofa. After Luke took the kids away, Luca felt an emptiness in her heart. Luca looked around the living room, only to realize that after she moved here, there had never been a quiet moment. She could hear the noises of the kids playing around happily.She could not get used to the sudden silence.Luca picked up her phone and looked at her contacts. Sue’s name showed up. Luca reckoned that she was probably busy preparing for the new year with Jason.Luca saw Nina’s phone number and made a call.The phone rang twice, and it
“Okay, Young Master Luke.” Mr. Griffin sounded helpless.Luke hung up the call. Lanie, who sat on the passenger seat asked, “Daddy, Grandma’s doing it again, right?”“Yes.” Luke clasped the steering wheel tightly and reminded the kids, “Look for Great-grandpa later when we arrive. Remember to greet him. He’s in the study. Don’t come out after you go in. Got it?”“Okay, Daddy,” the three kids replied in unison.They were afraid of Allison too. It would be better if they could stay far away from her.Luke stopped talking. Allison could be crazy and do whatever she wanted as long as she did not influence the kids. As a father, he had the desire to protect his kids.10 minutes later, Luke arrived at Crawford Manor. He drove into the house compound, and after he parked the car, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car.“Daddy?” Rainie gave him a confused look.“If you see the elders later, greet them. Then, look for Great-grandpa,” Luke reminded them again.“Daddy, don’t worry.
Louis turned around when he was helping Susan up. He silently mouthed the word ‘sorry’ to Luke.Luke shook his head to tell him that he did not mind it.It was wrong to bring a stranger into the house. Even if Susan was deliberately finding an excuse to start the fight, he could not say that she was being unreasonable this time. Allison did not think twice before doing something, and it had made everyone unhappy.After Louis helped Susan and returned to her room, Mr. Griffin came forward and said, “Young Master Luke, Madam Allison is in her bedroom now.”“I know.” Luke headed in the direction of the stairs.Upstairs.When Lanie headed to Old Master Crawford’s study with Rainie and Tommy, they ran into Sophian."Miss, may I know who you are?" Lanie had a good memory. He remembered that no maid in Crawford Manor looked like her.“I’m a guest of the Crawford family. You’re…” Sophian looked at the three little children in front of her. They looked familiar, especially the two boy
