Whatever it was that had Abel smiling like this had to be something big.The last time she was with him, he had closed a billion-dollar deal over the phone, but his expression had remained indifferent. It was like it was just another ordinary day at the office.However, he was currently grinning from ear to ear. Could it be something even bigger than that?Abel set down his unlit cigar. His fingers lightly traced along Hera’s cheek before resting on her eyes.“Your eyes… They’re beautiful,” murmured Abel.It was not the first time he had complimented her eyes.Hera had gone for the perfect foxy-type eyes, and every man she met would gush over how stunning they were.However, Abel was different. Other men would say her eyes were beautiful and then follow it up with praise for her face, her figure… The whole package.Yet Abel? He never mentioned anything else but just her eyes. It was as if her face and other par
“Alright. Ouch, it hurts when you flick me, Lanie!” Tommy pouted.“Don't cry. You were just saying you’d protect your sister, and now, you’re crying? What’s going on?” Lanie rubbed Tommy’s forehead. “Alright, I’ve rubbed it. Stop crying.”“Heh, Lanie, you're the best to me!” Tommy immediately beamed with happiness.“The whole grandma situation is over. From now on, let’s just behave ourselves and wait for Daddy and Ms. Luca to come back,” Lanie told his younger siblings.Even though their parents were not around, he had taken on the responsibility of being the elder brother. Despite being the same age as Rainie, he was much more mature.“Yes, I’ll listen to Great-Grandpa and you, Lanie!” Tommy nodded eagerly.…After Jason hung up on Allison, he let out a deep sigh.Sue walked over with a plate of fruits and placed it beside him. “What’s with that look? Have some fruits.”Jason picked up a toothpick, speared a piece of fruit, and brought it to her mouth.Sue opened her mouth
“Good evening, Madam Allison.” Jason quickly answered the phone.Allison wasted no time and demanded, “Why did you only send me such a small amount of money?”“It’s Mr. Crawford’s decision,” replied Jason, “If you suspect I’m withholding anything, you may ask him directly…”He reckoned that Allison might not be able to get in touch with Luke, so he added, “Or I could show you the chat records.”By now, Allison could not really doubt him anymore.However, with frustration in her voice, Allison asked, “Why is it so little? How am I supposed to live in A City on this?”“Mr. Crawford said that you have no extra expenses. You’re not shopping, so a hundred thousand dollars should be enough,” Jason relayed Luke’s words.A hundred thousand dollars was an amount that the average working family could not even earn in a month.Allison could not go out shopping right now, and she was not making any other extra purchases while staying at home every day. Why would it not be enough?Sophian, who over
“She's busy, so use something else. I’ve got stuff to do. I’m hanging up now.” Luke did not want to hear her rambling.Allison quickly added, “Wait, there's one more thing.”Luke frowned in annoyance.“I don’t have any money left. Send me some,” continued Allison. She was worried he might refuse. “It’s been over a month, and you still haven’t sent me my living expenses.”“Don’t worry, Jason will transfer it to you in a bit,” replied Luke. It had indeed been a month. However, he had been too busy to remember.“Alright.” Allison was about to say more when Sophian called out sweetly, “Mr. Crawford…”Before she could finish her sentence, Luke hung up the phone.Allison stared at Sophian. “What did you say that for?”Sophian was confused. She had only said a word, and the call was already disconnected. Was it her fault?“I just wanted to talk to him…” replied Sophian.“You didn’t have to say anything. I wasn’t done talking yet, and you made him hang up.” Allison was furious. She k
“As long as what Lanie wants to do isn’t illegal, I’ll support him.” Old Master Crawford rose to his feet with the help of his cane after saying that.He had known all along Allison would not have come here for anything important.This conversation was so dull.If it were not for her pestering Lanie with questions, Old Master Crawford would have pretended he did not know she was here and let her do whatever she wanted.The three kids had overheard the whole conversation between their great-grandfather and grandmother around the corner of the stairs.Once they sensed that the discussion was wrapping up, Lanie made a hand gesture to his younger siblings.Rainie and Tommy understood the gesture and nodded, following their brother upstairs.Lanie waited until he was sure no one downstairs could hear them before asking, “Why were you two eavesdropping?”“You were listening in, so why couldn't we?” Tommy grinned. He understood most of what they had talked about. What interested him m
“It looks like you're completely clueless,” scoffed Old Master Crawford. “If it weren’t for your return, do you really think Luke would've sent the kids to Crawford Manor?”Allison was not convinced and was about to argue that it was not because of her.However, before she could speak, Old Master Crawford cut her off with a blunt remark that left her speechless. “Have you looked in the mirror? With the way you look right now, just walking around at night would be enough to scare the kids. And you still think you can help take care of them? If my precious great-grandchildren see you like this, they’ll have nightmares. If it weren’t for the kids’ well-being, Luke wouldn’t have sent them here in the first place.”Allison felt a deep sense of humiliation. Being criticized like this in front of Sophian and Mr. Griffin, she felt as if her dignity had been completely shattered.Yet the worst part was that Old Master Crawford was absolutely right.Her face really was terrifying.“I can
Allison caught the disapproval in Old Master Crawford's gaze and could not help but snap at Sophian, “What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you?”Sophian met her gaze and suddenly realized that the best thing to do now was to stay quiet and lower her presence. In an instant, she regretted her impulsive words. She was so eager to leave a good impression on Old Master Crawford, but instead, she had made things worse.Now, all she could do was apologize. She pressed her lips together and bowed sincerely to Old Master Crawford, saying, “Sorry, Old Master Crawford, I couldn't hold back.”Old Master Crawford, with his strong mental fortitude, did not get angry at the gesture.“You really…” Allison was speechless. What was she even doing? Why was everything Sophian did so laughable?!She turned to Old Master Crawford and said, “Father, this woman hasn't seen much of the world. Please don't blame her.”Old Master Crawford ignored Allison’s comment and stared at S
“Wouldn't it be better to ask me directly if you want to know about these things?” Old Master Crawford's voice echoed from the staircase.Allison froze for a moment. Her face turned pale before she quickly turned around and forced a smile. “Father.”“What are you doing here?” asked Old Master Crawford as he walked over, leaning on his cane with Mr. Griffin supporting him.“I came to visit you,” Allison replied sweetly, stepping forward to help support his arm.Old Master Crawford shook his head, signaling her to stop. “Let Mr. Griffin handle that.”Left with no choice, Allison could only follow beside him, still wearing her forced smile.Mr. Griffin helped Old Master Crawford settle onto the couch. His sharp gaze flicked between Allison and Sophian. He had already heard from Luke that this woman had returned with Allison, and now, seeing her in person...Old Master Crawford studied Sophian carefully. They said a person’s face reflected their inner self, and he had taken a keen
“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 re
