Chapter 2473
“Grandma, Daddy's the one who's driving. We're not tired. Daddy's more tired than us. Besides, if itweren't for some family matters, Daddy wouldn't have had to hurry back here," said Lanie, pretendingnot to know it was Allison's matter.
Allison's smile froze.novelbin
This little kid did not intend to say something like that. Even so, why did it sound so unpleasant to theears?
Allison felt it was inappropriate to criticize Lanie for what he said. After all, it would make her look bad ifshe really held him accountable for what he said.
Besides, she was secretly disgusted after hearing things like Luke had been working hard. She couldhardly say a word.
Allison had no choice but to look at Tommy with a smile on her face, "Tommy, did you receive thesnacks and toys I bought for you?"
"Yes, Grandma. The children at the orphanage will be delighted to receive them." Tommy nodded andsaid, "I'd like to thank you on behalf of the orphaned children."
"Orphanage...?" That was the word Allison hated to hear the most.
It constantly reminded Allison that she left Luke alone at the entrance of the orphanage back then. Itwas like a thorn in her heart. Every time someone mentioned the word, it would make her feeldisturbed. She was unable to move on from this after so many years.
Moreover, she almost gave up living a wealthy life when she sent Luke to the orphanage.
Luke was not close to her because of what he had experienced.
Old Master Crawford got curious when he heard that and asked, "Tommy, what about the orphanedchildren?"
"We didn't like the toys Grandma gave us. They're too childish for us. We didn't like those snackseither, but we didn't want to disappoint Grandma. That's why we're planning to donate them to theorphaned children," Tommy replied with a smile. Even though the adults did not like what he said, theinnocent look on his face made them reluctant to blame him for being naive.
The look on Allison's face turned awful.
She bought the toys according to their age. Why were they unsuitable for them? There was no way itcould be wrong when it was the shop assistant who recommended her to buy these. She was afraidthat the children's hearts had grown apart from her.
Even though they still addressed her as their grandmother, they probably did not see her as theirgrandmother anymore.
Lanie noticed the changes in Allison's expression and said, "The company will usually donate moneyand necessities to the orphanage. Rainie, Tommy, and I like to play with educational toys. So, we canonly donate the toys you bought us. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave them there."
Rainie went along with him, “Yes. Great-grandpa has always taught us not to waste anything. That'swhy we planned to do so.”
"Good. Well done. Even though all of you are living a comfortable life, you haven't forgotten those whoare in need. Instead, you're willing to help them. Well, that's wonderful," exclaimed Old MasterCrawford as he shot a glance at Luke.
If it were not for the social groups who volunteered to help the orphanage, he would not have knownwhether or not his great-grandson would be able to wait until the day the Crawford family found him.
Louis held Thea's hands and walked into the dining room together. He asked with curiosity when heheard the old master exclaiming, "Grandpa, why are you exclaiming?"
"It's a relief to know how sensible the kids are. They are willing to donate to the orphaned children atthe orphanage,” Old Master Crawford grinned and replied.
It reminded Louis of the annual charity event that was about to start when the old master mentioned itto him. Then, he asked, "Brother, are we still donating to the orphanage this time?"
"Yes. It's still the orphanage," said Luke. Donating to the orphanage was a charity event T Corporationwould do every year.
"That's great. Brother, count me in. Oh, there are tons of clothes Thea has never worn before. I candonate them to the orphanage," said Louis. Everything the Crawford family donated was new.
"Daddy!" Thea was unwilling to do so when she heard Louis was planning to donate her clothes."Those are mine."
"You're growing up fast. You can no longer fit in some of the clothes. Good girl, let's donate them to thechildren who need them. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave them there." Louis stroked the child'shead.
Thea shot a glance at Old Master Crawford and fell silent.
Thea knew what Louis said was right. She did not even get to wear some of the clothes. It was a wasteto leave them aside.
However, she was reluctant to donate the things that belonged to her.
Those were her belongings!
"Thea, you should learn from your cousins. You have to remember that you're lucky enough to be borninto such a good family. That's why you should help those who are in need. That's how a good girlshould behave," Old Master Crawford advised Thea as he could see Thea was reluctant to do so.
Although Thea's clothes were expensive, she could no longer wear them. Besides, Louis was notplanning to get a second child. It would be a waste to leave the clothes there.
Since it was a waste to leave them aside, was it not better to donate them to the children who neededthem?
"Okay, Great-grandpa," Thea replied unwillingly.
"Alright. Let's pack those clothes after dinner, okay?" Louis stroked Thea's head.
Yuri doted on her daughter. She always bought her clothes and dressed her up like a little princess.
However, she had so many clothes that she could not even wear them all.
"Okay," Thea replied in a depressed tone. She felt uncomfortable as she had no idea why she shoulddonate her clothes to others.
Susan walked into the dining room and rolled her eyes at Allison. Then, she sat down beside Thea.The moment she sat down beside Thea, she noticed the gloomy look on Thea's face and immediatelyasked, "Thea, what's with the look on your face? Are you frightened?"
After that, Susan lifted her head and glanced at Allison with a disgusted look. "That's terrifying."
"Hmph." Allison turned away, planning to ignore her. Usually, she would have argued with Susan now.Perhaps they might even start a fight.
However, she needed money now. Therefore, she could not do so. Otherwise, she would be theunlucky one.
"Grandma, Daddy says I should donate my clothes to the orphanage." Thea held Susan's arms andclung to her.
"Donate to the orphanage?" Susan knew T Corporation would organize such an event every year, butwhat did it have to do with Louis?
After all, the money used for the donation was accumulated through the interests earned, which meantLouis' share had already been counted in.
Why did Thea have to donate her clothes?
"Mom, I was planning to donate the clothes Thea can't wear," Louis explained.
"Thea's clothes are expensive. I don't think it's a good idea to donate such expensive clothes, right?"Susan replied without a second thought.
Other than Yuri who would always buy new clothes for Thea, Susan also adored her granddaughterand often bought new clothes for Thea too.
"Mom, she can't wear those. It's a waste to leave them here," Louis tried to convince her. Then, he shota glance at Old Master Crawford.
