Female Novel
Chapter 2467
"Something happened at Crawford Manor." Luke did not tell the kid about what happened with Allison.He just made up an excuse.
"Did something happen to Great-grandpa?" Tommy asked nervously.
"No, it's just some things have happened at home, so we'll go back tomorrow." Luke's expression wasserious. If it was not that late, he would surely head back to A City on the same day.
He did not expect Allison to act so foolishly...
The children stopped talking when they saw Luke's expression.
Percy exchanged glances with Nina, but neither of them said anything.
Luke said to Percy, "Percy, feel free to continue staying here. Just let Mr. Muller know when you want toleave."
"Okay, thank you. If you have anything that you need help with, I'm a call away."
"It's not a big deal," Luke said. He did not need anyone else to be involved with Allison-related matters.
Her problems could only be solved with money.
Luca looked at Luke worriedly. If it were not because of Old Master Crawford that they had to rushback, it likely had to do with Allison. She pursed her lips until he looked at her and shook his head.
She smiled and gave Tommy a piece of beef. "Come on, let's eat."
Tommy nodded. He was still worried about what had happened in Crawford Manor.
After dinner, the children were in the living room on the second floor to discuss what they thoughthappened at Crawford Manor.
Rainie and Tommy expressed concern about Old Master Crawford's health.
Lanie stopped them when Rainie and Tommy were about to call their great-grandpa to inquire aboutthe situation. "I'm certain that nothing happened to Great-grandpa."
Rainie and Tommy looked at him and asked, "Lanie, how are you so sure?"
"If something had happened to Great-grandpa, Daddy would've taken us back now. He won't wait untiltomorrow. If I'm right, it's something to do with Grandma..." Lanie said. His hunch was reasonable.
Rainie thought about it for a while before she nodded affirmatively. "It should be Grandma. Theexpression on Daddy's face was not one of worry. Rather, he seemed mad. Grandma must've donesomething, so Great-grandpa asked Daddy to come back to deal with it."
"I'm glad that it has nothing to do with Great-grandpa." Tommy felt nothing for Allison since he was achild, so he was relieved to know that Old Master Crawford was fine.
"Grandma is such a troubled soul. Daddy's life is so miserable because of her..." Rainie said.
She had seen Allison swindle Luke many times as she grew up.
They felt for him, but they were too young to be of much help.
Luke and Luca, on the other hand, went back to their bedroom after dinner.
Luca took out the clothes she was going to change into that night before she packed the rest of herluggage. After that, she looked at Luke, who was sitting by the desk.
He was sketching.
What happened with the Crawfords did not seem to affect his work.
"Is it something to do with Ms. Tanner?" Luca asked. She was worried at first, but after seeing Luke'sexpression, she calmed down and analyzed the situation. She felt that it was not something to do withOld Master Crawford.
Since it was not Old Master Crawford, the only other person who could unsettle Luke was Allison.
"Mm, all her money got scammed in an investment." Luke's tone was cold and did not contain toomuch emotion. He used the pen in his hand to scribble and draw on the paper.
Luca walked in and looked at his designs. It was a rough draft. He could draw it digitally once he haddecided on the facade
She could not help but sigh with admiration at Luke's designs, which were always surprising.
"Old Master Crawford asked you to go back to deal with her?" Luca wanted to know what Old MasterCrawford said to Luke.
"Mm, he can't handle this matter. If he intervenes, Louis' mother will be pissed," Luke said. AlthoughAllison was deceived, at the end of the day, money could solve all her problems.
She would stay out of trouble if he paid her off.
Old Master Crawford could handle it, but Susan was watching closely. If he helped Allison with thismatter and Susan found out, the Crawfords would never have peace.
"Yes." Luca felt his helplessness. Luke had no choice but to get involved whenever Allison got intotrouble.
She could not help him with anything.
"I'll check on the kids and see if there's anything I can do to help them pack," Luca said. She wasworried that the kids would be careless and leave some of their things here. She did not want to troublethe butler or Percy to get it.
"Mm." Luke sped up his drawing, intending to finish the first draft that day. If the village chief was happywith it, he could start drawing the details.
Luca walked out of the bedroom and headed to Tommy's room.
"Tommy, are you packing?" She saw Tommy squatting on the floor and dragging the suitcase. Shestepped forward, helped put the suitcase down, and then unzipped it.
"Ms. Luca, I don't want to go back. Daddy finally has some time off, but it's only been a few days."Tommy vented to Luca.
Luca sighed.
They were having a great vacation. It was a great opportunity for Luke to relax.
All the trivial problems would soon surface when Luke returned to A City. Luke would not have achance to take a break anymore.
"We have no choice. Something happened at Crawford Manor. Daddy is the head of the family, so hehas to go back and deal with the matter." Luca put Tommy's clothes in the suitcase before she placedthe books on the side into the suitcase as well.
"Daddy is working too hard." Tommy pouted.
Luca patted his head when he saw how Tommy felt sorry for Luke. She thought of what Luke had oncesaid.
He hoped that the children would grow up as soon as possible and take the burden off his shoulders.When that time came, he would be able to accompany her every day and they could travel around theworld.
However, that was in the past.
After Luca helped Tommy pack up, she stood up and said, "I'm going to see if Rainie needs help."
"Ms. Luca... can you stop Daddy from going back?" Tommy asked.
Luca knew that Tommy did not ask that because he wanted to stay longer for fun. At a young age, heunderstood how hard Luke's life was.
She smiled and said, "Why? Do you feel sorry for your Daddy?"
"Yeah!" Tommy nodded in acknowledgment.
"Good boy. But he must go back. There's no other way," Luca said as she knew that no one couldchange Luke's mind.
After she left Tommy's bedroom, Luca went to look for Rainie and Lanie, who had already packed theirbags.
Moreover, neither of them said anything similar to what Tommy said as if they knew that Luke woulddefinitely go back.
The next day.
Luke and Lliam each drove a car.
Percy watched the two cars leave as he rubbed his chin.
Nina took his hand and asked, "Did something happen with the Crawfords?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal. If something serious happened, the media wouldn't be so quiet. I believe thatit's Luke's mother..." Percy analyzed.novelbin
Nina understood that it was Allison who made Luke's life hard.
If it was about Allison, she would understand. After all, Allison was an outlandish mother.
