Female Novel
Chapter 2390
“Okay, Young Master Luke." Mr. Griffin sounded helpless.
Luke hung up the call. Lanie, who sat on the passenger seat asked, "Daddy, Grandma's doing it again,right?"
"Yes." Luke clasped the steering wheel tightly and reminded the kids, "Look for Great-grandpa laterwhen we arrive. Remember to greet him. He's in the study. Don't come out after you go in. Got it?"
"Okay, Daddy," the three kids replied in unison.
They were afraid of Allison too. It would be better if they could stay far away from her.
Luke stopped talking. Allison could be crazy and do whatever she wanted as long as she did notinfluence the kids. As a father, he had the desire to protect his kids.
10 minutes later, Luke arrived at Crawford Manor. He drove into the house compound, and after heparked the car, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car.
"Daddy?" Rainie gave him a confused look.
"If you see the elders later, greet them. Then, look for Great-grandpa," Luke reminded them again.
"Daddy, don't worry. We know what to do," Rainie nodded and replied.
Luke pushed the car door open.
Mr. Griffin knew Luke had come back. He opened the umbrella and quickly walked out of the house.Then, he covered the kids under the umbrella and said, "Young Master Luke, children, you're finallyback."
"Is Grandpa still in his study?" Luke asked.
"Yes. Old Master Crawford hasn't stepped out of the study since Madam Allison came back," repliedMr. Griffin.
"What about the other woman?" Luke asked again.
"Madam Allison fought with Madam Crawford just now. They've stopped arguing for now. The maid iscurrently cleaning up her bedroom and preparing another room for the guest. She should be on thethird floor now," answered Mr. Griffin.
Of course, Susan would not want to see Allison come back for the new year. Before the two of themeven exchanged any words with each other, they began to quarrel.
It was so intense that if it were not for Yuri stopping them, they would have started to fight.
Old Master Crawford did not intend to stop them from arguing. Instead, he listened to classical music inhis study. He turned up the volume and closed the door. That way, the noises coming from downstairswould not be able to disturb him.
However, Mr. Griffin was troubled.
He could not hide and leave them alone like what Old Master Crawford was doing, but he was in noposition to stop this ridiculous family argument.
"Okay." Luke nodded without asking the reason Allison and Susan fought.
“Mr. Griffin, let's go in." Rainie took the initiative to hold the butler's hand.
"Okay." Mr. Griffin held the umbrella and covered the kids so that the snow would not fall on them.
Luke followed beside them.
When they entered the living room, Susan was sitting on the sofa. Her face was still red. The bigargument between her and Allison had made her blood pressure rise.
Louis was taking her blood pressure. Then, he saw Luke coming in. He smiled and greeted, “Brother,you're back."
“Yes." Luke nodded. He knew what had happened when he saw Louis helping Susan measure herblood pressure. Then, Luke greeted, “Mother."
Susan sneered. She could not say anything as Louis was still taking her blood pressure. That was whyshe did not talk or insult him.
The three kids stood in a row and greeted Susan and Louis politely, “Hello Grandma Susan. Hello,Uncle Louis."
“You're such good children." Louis could not help but secretly let out a sigh when he looked at the threekids who were so polite.
How well-mannered they were.
His daughter, Thea, was unable to behave like that. She would hide whenever she saw someone else,and she would keep quiet as well. She refused to take the initiative to greet the others. Even if it wassomeone close to her, it would still depend on her mood.
The doctor said it was normal for her as Thea was mentally unhealthy. She would slowly recover underher parent's guidance.
However, Louis thought that other than Thea being mentally unhealthy, another possibility was that shewas being spoiled.
Thea thought she was the little princess in the Crawford family. That was why she did not have to bepolite. She believed that she was superior and thought highly of herself no matter who she met.
Thea would only speak more with the people she was close to.
Louis felt helpless as there was nothing he could do.
Luke said to the kids, “Off you go. Say hello to Great-grandpa."novelbin
“Yes, Daddy," replied Lanie. Then, Lanie led his younger brother and sister and left.
Susan's blood pressure results came out. Louis glanced at the sphygmomanometer and said, “Yourblood pressure is slightly high. Mom, sit there and rest for a while."
"How could it be not? New Year's isn't even here yet and that woman is already getting on my nerves,"Susan said in a hostile manner. She withdrew her hand, looked at Luke, and ranted, "Luke, what'swrong with your mother? It doesn't matter if she came back to celebrate the new year, but she evenbrought a stranger here. That woman has nothing to do with the Crawford family. What's her purposefor doing so?"
“I'm sorry. That woman is her personal nurse working in the plastic surgery hospital in Seoul,”answered Luke.
It was indeed inappropriate for Allison to do such a thing.
It was a day for the family to reunite, yet Allison brought an outsider here. Although she brought thewoman back to Imperial Capital, the woman could stay at the villa. There was no need to bring herhere.
“Did she say that? Do you believe her? Do you even know her?” Susan threw three questions at Luke,then she mentioned an event that had happened in the past. “Previously, Allison brought an outsiderinto the house to steal things. Perhaps she has other plans this time. Luke, you should know that OldMaster Crawford doesn't like us bringing strangers back here to spend the night, especially women withan unknown identity. What the hell is she thinking?”
“Mom, stop bringing up the past.” Louis was a little embarrassed. It had been so long and Allison hadalready gotten what she deserved. It was pointless for Susan to bring it up.
“I'm sorry. I'll talk to her,” replied Luke in a cold voice. He was thinking of sending that woman back tothe villa.
"You can't do anything either. It's obvious that Old Master Crawford doesn't want that woman in hishouse, but your mother insists on letting that woman spend the night here and celebrate the new yearwith us. Are you better at convincing her than Old Master Crawford?" Susan asked with a disgustedlook on her face, and she continued, "It seems like I have to lock all the cabinets where I store myjewelry. Otherwise, someone might steal it. We have to beware of someone who has a criminal record,after all. Birds of a feather flock together. I'm afraid that woman is up to no good."
Luke remained silent while Louis tugged on Susan's sleeve.
Susan pulled back her sleeve and glowered at him.
It did not matter if Louis was not helping her, but he was even acting like this.
“Anyway, Luke, you know what kind of person your mom used to be. I have to be straightforward withyou. If anything happens when your Mom and that woman are here in our house, don't blame me forcalling the police,” said Susan. She rose to her feet and staggered for a moment because of her highblood pressure.
“Mom, let me help you. Let's go back to your room.” Louis quickly helped her up.
Susan sneered and said, “I'm going to my room to keep my expensive jewelry and designer handbagsbefore an unknown person sees them and tries to steal them.”
