Chapter 1772
Louis immediately grabbed Susan and walked off. "Okay, Mom, that’s enough. The villa is almostready. You can move in with us when the time comes."novelbin
When Susan heard that, she scolded, "Bastard! I told you that I won’t move out! You’re not allowed tomove out as well. This is your home!"
Louis was not bothered. He went upstairs with her.
Luke stood downstairs, deep in thought. Allison and Susan were incompatible with each other so hehad expected them to fight.
He knew that he could not postpone his plans any longer.
"Young Master Luke, are you moving out for good with Young Master Tommy and the others?" thebutler asked.
"Mm, I won't be moving back for the time being." Luke nodded. He did not want the kids to be affectedby their infighting.
Aside from that, he had not returned to Crawford Manor often because he was occupied with work. Itwas a better option for him and the kids to live in the villa and have them get closer to Luca so that shewould open up to them about her true identity sooner.
"Since you and the kids left, it feels like this home is missing something. Old Master Crawford doesn'tlike to stay here either. He’s been going out to meet with his friends more frequently.” The butler sighedwhen he thought of how the once lively home had turned so silent. The occasional sounds were fromSusan and Allison, who just yelled at each other whenever they interacted.
"I'll bring the kids back when they're on holiday," Luke said, "I'll go upstairs to see what's going on."
"Okay." The butler nodded.
Luke went upstairs, opened the door to Allison's room, and frowned when his nose was overwhelmedby her strong perfume.
It was way too strong...
Luca was sitting on the chair by the bed, taking Allison's pulse.
Allison saw Luke walk in but did not react to it. She went on and on, asking Luca questions, "When willmy face recover?"
Luca listened to her endless questions, finished checking her pulse, and looked at the man behind herhelplessly.
She could answer Allison's question but she knew that the other party would not accept her answer.
"Ms. Tanner, you need to continue applying the concoction to manage the condition of your face. I justchecked your pulse and found that your problem is not only on your face. In addition to applying theconcoction, I'll also prescribe some oral medication to treat your body," Luca said, dodging herquestion.
When she heard that there was something wrong with her body, Allison pulled back her handsuspiciously and said, "I'm eating and sleeping well. How could there be a problem with my body? Areyou talking nonsense because you want to earn more from me?"
Luca sighed and replied, "I haven't received a single cent from you. Your pulse is much more chaoticthan when you were in prison. I think it has something to do with your daily routine, so I suggest youmake a change. Your health will improve when we work on it internally and externally."
Allison was still suspicious. The wrinkles on her face deepened because of the expression on herwrinkled face. "My daily routine is good. Are you incompetent and just spewing nonsense?"
"Don't consult with me if you don't trust me. Ms. Tanner, if you have doubts about my abilities, you canstop using my concoction." Luca was fuming a little. As Luke's mother, Allison had never helped him inany way but put him through the wringer all the time.
The saying went ‘love me, love my dog'. Hence, if she loved Luke, she should love everything abouthim. However, she could not bring herself to like Allison, a mother who would only hold him back.
As time went on, she was a little disgusted by her.
Luke spoke up for Luca, "Dr. Craw's advice for you is for your own good. Okay, she'll prescribe somemedicine for you. It's your choice whether you want to take it or not."
Allison glared at him, dissatisfied.
She was mad that her son would side with outsiders instead of her, his mother.
"I know. I'll take the medicine on time in full. If it doesn't work, I'll stop taking it, alright?" Allison said inan odd tone.
Luke did not speak, and neither did Luca.
Seeing that they did not say anything, Allison thought of something and said, "Uh, I have something totalk to my son about. Give us some privacy."
Luca listened to her unceremonious tone as if she thought of her as a maid. She did not say anythingand just walked out.
Luke watched Luca leave, his dissatisfaction toward Allison growing even more.
"What are you going to say?" His tone was cold as if the person in front of him was not his mother but astranger.
Allison stretched out her hand and said, "You haven't given me any living expenses since I got releasedfrom prison. Are you trying to have me starve to death?"
"How much do you want?" Luke asked straightforwardly. He was clear about what she wanted from himand did not bother to go around in circles.
Seeing that things were going her way, Allison got a little excited. She planned to ask for one million,but seeing how casually he acted, she decided to go all out and said, "I want three million."
"What do you need three million for?" Luke frowned. The amount was within his expectations.
"Is three million a lot? It's just a day's work for you. I need money to get on with my life." Allison tookhim for granted. She thought that he was her son so, of course, he was responsible for all her living
expenses.
"You have all your meals in Crawford Manor. You won't go hungry." Luke was not fooled by her.
"I have to go out sooner or later and maintain my skin. I need money for all of these! This amount isnothing to you. You're my son, so you should give me money." Allison was getting anxious seeing thathe seemed unwilling to give her money.
"You want to go out looking like this? You can't apply any skincare products to your face now. As forclothes, I'll buy everything in trend for the season and put them in your wardrobe. What else do youneed?" Luke listed everything down. She did not have to spend any money at all.
"You just don't want to give me a single cent, do you? Okay, if you don't give me any money, I'll moveinto your villa to live with you." From what he said, Allison got the impression that he did not think sheneeded money. She was dissatisfied.
"I'll give you the money but not now," Luke said, "I've arranged for someone to renew your passportand apply for a visa. You'll receive a sum of money when it's done."
"You want to send me out of the country? You're such an unfilial son! You sent your wife away and nowyou want to send your mother away too? If you dare to do this, I'll expose your unfilial behavior on theinternet!" Allison was perturbed when she thought that he did not want to support her and wanted tosend her away.
She would be happy to go on a holiday abroad, but if she was exiled, she would never agree to it.
Since she would be stared at and laughed at if she went out, it was better for her to stay in the manorand not go anywhere.
