Female Novel
Chapter 3031
Susan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I'm only asking you to make a phone call. What's the big deal?"
If she could reach Louis on the phone, she would not have come here.
"Madam Crawford, Ms. Craw doesn't have Master Louis' contact information," Aunt Neile explained onbehalf of Luca.
"If she doesn't have it, then you must have it. You make the call," Susan did not care who made the callas long as Louis could be contacted.
She wanted to know where he was.
"Madam Crawford, it might not be appropriate for me to do that... Master Louis probably won't answermy call." Aunt Neile hesitated.
The maids would have their employer's contact information. Aunt Neile was from Crawford Manor, soshe should have Louis' contact information.
However, they normally would not contact them as they did not want to disturb their employers unlessthere was something important to inquire about.
Aunt Neile knew that there was a conflict between the mother and son. Otherwise, Susan would nothave come here to ask Luca. She did not want to get involved in this mess either.
"What's wrong with that? Do you think that working in this villa means you don't have to listen to me?Let me tell you, as long as you work for the Crawford family, you have to listen to me. I'm LukeCrawford's mother.
"Now, pick up the phone and call Louis to find out where he is!" Susan's tone was commanding. At thispoint, she did not care about Luca and was pressuring Aunt Neile.
"Aunt Neile, please help me pack these prepared herbs into a bag. Use a good quality bag. I'll need totake them out later." Luca knew that Aunt Neile did not want to get involved in Susan's affairs. Thus,she helped her out.
"Sure." Aunt Neile let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and headed toward the kitchen without glancing atSusan.
Susan clenched her fists. "Luca, what do you mean by this?!"
"Madam Crawford, we have a landline here. If you can't reach Master Louis on your cell phone, youcan use the landline," suggested Luca.
Even though Louis probably did not have the landline's number saved in his phone, he would likelyanswer a local call since he was a businessman.
Susan glared at her. She had another reason for coming here to look for Luca.
If she asked Louis directly, she might end up in another conflict with him. However, if it was someoneelse making the call, Louis might reveal where he was currently living. She could avoid getting into aconflict with him.
"I'll read out the number to you, and you make the call. Just say you have some herbs to give him,"Susan did not care if her reason made sense as she instructed Luca.
After all, everyone in the Crawford family knew that Luca understood pharmacology, so Louis shouldnot suspect anything.
"Why can't you make the call yourself if you're looking for Louis?" Luke's voice came from the doorway.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she heard the familiar voice.
If Susan were to keep causing trouble here, she would not be able to handle it much longer. If shecould get rid of her, she would have done so already.
However, Susan was an elder of the Crawford family. Luca could not act that way, or it would put Lukein a difficult position.
Susan frowned and turned to look at the doorway. It was Luke.
"You're back?" She felt a little surprised at first. Luca and the others had refused to help her, butperhaps Luke could assist her. Her brows immediately relaxed.
They were brothers, and it seemed perfectly normal for brothers to ask each other where they were.
Luke walked in, shot a glance at Luca, and understood the helplessness in her eyes.
Susan had backed her into a corner...
Luke gave her a reassuring look, signaling her not to worry about this matter. He had it under control.
Dealing with the unreasonable Susan was something he had ample experience with, just like Louis.
"Of course, I need to go home after work." Luke placed his briefcase on the sofa and sat beside Luca.Then, he asked, "Do you need any help?"
"It's okay. There's just a little left." Luca shook her head. Sorting and packing the herbs were not a bigdeal.
If it were not for Susan stirring things up, she would have finished already. Luca remembered the threechildren upstairs who were doing their homework. They had probably completed their homework bynow, but with Susan around, the kids would not come down.
Luca knew that Luke could deal with things here, so she thought about going upstairs to check.However, it did not seem very polite. Hence, she remained seated on the sofa and listened to theirconversation.
Susan stared at the two of them, feeling increasingly frustrated. She came here to have them make acall to Louis, but that call had not been made and even Luke had returned.
Moreover, she still did not know where Louis lived now, and it seemed like she was witnessing adisplay of affection between the two.
Was it appropriate to act like this in front of their elders? Especially when Luca's identity was ofquestionable standing?
Susan found it displeasing and went straight to the point, "Luke, do you know where Louis is rightnow?"
"I do," Luke replied straightforwardly. How could he not know since he was the one who provided himaccommodation?
A hint of joy appeared on Susan's face. She did not expect him to say that he knew!
"Where is he? He hasn't been home lately, and I need to talk to him," replied Susan, assuming thatLuke knew about the conflict between her and Louis. That was why she did not bring up past issues oroffer any other reasons.
"I can't tell you." Luke shook his head and looked at her. "It's something he entrusted me with. If youwant to know, just call him and ask."
"I..." Susan narrowed her eyes. The fleeting moment of joy had not fully settled in before it abruptlyvanished without a trace.
Luke was playing games with her!
Susan dared not to be too rude in front of Luke. Although he was younger, he exuded an imposingpresence, making her reluctant to command him.
"I know he spent the night here, and you're well aware of what happened. But now, he's blocked mynumber, so I have no idea where he is. Just tell me. I haven't seen Thea for a few days, and I missher." Susan had to use Thea as an excuse.
Previously, when she argued with Louis, the child was always a good excuse to break the ice.
"Grandpa knows where he is too." Luke still did not relent. In reality, Louis was doing quite well now.The maid mentioned that Thea was happy in that house, adjusting well to the new environment.novelbin
Therefore, Susan could stay at the villa while Louis' family of three lived happily in the apartment.
"What do you mean? You're not helping me?" Susan eventually lost her patience. A hint of impatienceflashed across her face.
She had spoken to him so politely, yet she still did not get what she wanted.
If he did not know Louis' whereabouts, that would be one thing. However, he did, so why was he notwilling to tell her?
"If I hadn't promised Louis, I'd definitely tell you. Sorry about that." Luke remained firm in his attitude.After all, Susan was too good at causing trouble. Letting her cool down for a few days would be better.
If Susan knew where Louis lived now, she would surely go knocking on his door. Louis' family needed afew days of peace too.
