Sophian did not dare to speak when she saw that Allison was frowning.10 minutes later, the maid brought the instant pot pie and put it on the coffee table. "Madam Allison, breakfast is ready."Allison looked at the ready-to-eat pot pie in front of her. She frowned and said, "Is this the pot pie you bought at the supermarket? I want to eat fresh ones made by you."The maid felt cornered and replied, "Madam Allison, we have no ingredients in the villa to make pot pies. If you want to eat fresh ones, I’d need to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.""Why didn't you prepare for anything?!" Allison scolded her. She was dissatisfied with the maid's efficiency."Madam Allison, I thought that you would be spending the new year at Crawford Manor, so I didn't prepare much. If you’re not satisfied with what we have, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy groceries now," the maid said quickly. She was scared of Allison's reprimand and her horrifying face.Her face was terrifying. It had wri
Sophian was surprised when she heard how Allison described Bianca.Sophian had always thought that successful men like Luke preferred sexy and alluring women. She did not expect he would like women who were pure and innocent.She lowered her head and looked at her body figure. There was no way her curvy figure could look innocent. She could only change her makeup style to make her look that way.“I got it,” replied Sophian.Allison raised her brows, looked at her, and asked, “Although Bianca looks innocent, her tricks aren’t innocent at all. She found ways to get closer to Luke and gave birth to two children. Only then was she acknowledged as his wife. So, let me tell you, he might not like pure and innocent women. It’s just that her tricks happened to work on him.” Sophian wanted to tell her that being good at wheedling was considered amazing too as long as she could attract Luke.However, Sophian dared not to say such things in front of Allison when she had shown so much hatre
"Sit down. Let me get it for you," replied Luca. She did not put the snacks she made this morning at the usual spot where the children took their snacks.Tommy nodded. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.Rainie lifted her hand, tapped on Tommy's nose with her fingers, and laughed at him, "Tommy, you're a greedy little boy."“I’m not. Ms. Luca makes good and tasty snacks.” Tommy stuck out his tongue.“That’s true. Ms. Luca makes the best snacks.” Rainie nodded and agreed with him. She could not blame Tommy for being greedy. Their mother was too good at making their snacks.Tommy nodded and replied, “Great-grandpa loves them too.”“Tommy, I don’t like to eat snacks.” Old Master Crawford shook his head and explained.“But Great-grandpa, I heard you telling Mr. Griffin that you like eating Ms. Luca’s homemade food. That’s why you came here to have a taste of Ms. Luca’s homemade food.” Tommy tilted his head. He had heard what the old master told Mr. Griffin when they
Old Master Crawford put down the vegetable juice and turned to look at the TV. It was replaying the New Year Gala from last night, so he asked, “Isn’t this last night’s New Year Gala?”Luca nodded. She smiled and explained, “I fell asleep when I was watching it last night. I didn’t manage to finish the show. I turned on the TV and watched the replay when I was bored just now.” “The New Year Gala last night was interesting,” Old Master Crawford said. Then, he picked up another snack. It was not a cookie this time but Luca’s homemade nougat.Although it was a nougat, Luca had used a sugar substitute and sugar-free marshmallows. “Yes. It was awesome. Ms. Luca, how could you have fallen asleep?” Tommy grinned and looked at Luca, waiting for her reply.Luca was rendered speechless. There was no way she could tell him that she fell asleep while watching the show because it was too quiet.“It was probably because I did some exercise, so I was tired.” Luca found an excuse to brush him
Luca watched the two of them play chess for a while. She glanced at the time, and when it was almost time to prepare lunch, she stood up and said, “Old Master Crawford, Mr. Crawford, please excuse me. I’m going to prepare lunch now.”“Do you need help?” Luke asked. Aunt Neile usually helped Luca out when she was busy preparing meals in the kitchen. Now, she had to prepare lunch for six of them. Luke was worried that she would not be able to handle it herself. Luca shook her head, pursed her lips, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. I can handle this. You can play chess with Old Master Crawford."After that, Luca walked to the kitchen.Before she walked into the kitchen, she heard Old Master Crawford making fun of Luke, “Hah, I didn’t know you’d step into the kitchen.”Luca smiled without turning around. She headed straight to the kitchen.Luke did not look like someone who would enter the kitchen, but there were times when he would help her in the kitchen. Her heart pounded
“I’ve already cleaned myself up. I’ll feel better after eating breakfast,” said Louis as he walked to the dining room.Susan shook her head helplessly. How could Louis slack off during the New Year? It seemed like she had to talk to Yuri about it and asked her to keep an eye on Louis.“This child…” She could not help but mutter.After a while, Susan noticed that Louis had not finished his breakfast yet. She walked into the dining room and saw him eating breakfast while looking at his phone at the same time.The burning rage in her exploded uncontrollably. She snatched Louis' phone and said, "Don't look at your phone when you're eating. Your grandpa will be mad at you if he sees you like this.""Mom, Grandpa's not here…" Louis felt helpless. Old Master Crawford did not allow them to look at their phones while having meals. However, Louis could not be bothered since Old Master Crawford was not around."Does that mean you can relax when he's not here? Your grandpa isn't back yet.
After a while, Mr. Griffin brought the brewed tea over and said, “Old Master Crawford, the tea is ready.”“Okay.” Old Master Crawford took a sip of the tea. He could not help but exclaim, “The tea smells good.”“I should’ve brought some tea leaves to Luke’s place.” Then, he took another sip of tea.“Grandpa, why are you craving for tea? Didn’t you have any tea yesterday?” Louis asked with curiosity and poured a cup for himself too.“Luke doesn’t like drinking tea. How could I expect him to have good tea leaves there?” said Old Master Crawford. After all, Luke did not entertain guests there, so he would not have prepared tea leaves. Some tea leaves were meant to be gifts for the guests. Old Master Crawford knew about that, so that was why he did not say that he wanted to have some tea.“You always drink a pot of tea in the morning. Won’t you get upset if there’s no tea?” Louis knew the old master’s habits well. Old Master Crawford loved drinking tea."It's still fine. The vegeta
Luca gently shook her head and said, “Mr. Crawford, it’s inappropriate for me to go along with you. They’re your wife’s family.”Luke stared at her with his deep eyes. Wife?Was she not his wife?She clearly wanted to see her family at this time, but she was unable to visit them due to her identity and the forces behind her…Luke did not expose her and said, “If you’d like to visit them but you’re worried that they’ll overthink, you can go after us. Lliam is on duty today.”Luca looked down and pondered for a moment. She still thought it was inappropriate to do so and said, “Mr. Crawford, I heard Nina say that locals here always visit the wife’s family on the second day of New Year. I shouldn’t do this.”She was actually the most suitable person to visit them, but she had no choice but to tell Luke that it was inappropriate for her to do so in a soft voice.Luke knew what she was thinking about. He did not force her. He carried the two bags and headed outside. Then, he asked,
