Chapter 2400

"Ms. Allison..." Sophian walked over to Allison and looked at the rows of masks.

It was Allison's mask time. She had to spend a lot more time on skincare than normal people in a daybecause of the special nature of her skin.

Otherwise, if there was any negligence, her face may return to its original form. All her efforts duringthis period would be in vain if that happened.

Allison raised her head, saw Sophian's aggrieved expression, and continued choosing her mask. "Whydo you look like that? You've only met him twice. You can't be that into him."

"Ms. Allison, don't tease me." Sophian put her hands on Allison's shoulders and started to massageher.

Allison enjoyed it very much. Sophian was a beautician, so her shoulders and neck massages weretopnotch. "It's the truth. I'm sure you used to have a lot of handsome guys in Korea pursuing you, right?I saw that you receive flowers almost every day."

"They're nothing," Sophian said helplessly.

The men who pursued her were good-looking but they had an ordinary family background.

In Korea, there were a lot of handsome guys but very few rich ones. If she had to choose betweenlooks and wealth, she would go for the latter.

Good looks were nothing to her. In Korea, one would not look too bad as long as they had money andwere willing to go through plastic surgery.

Luke had not gone through plastic surgery and was wealthy and young. He was very rare, so it was nother fault that she fell in love at first sight.

Allison knew what she was thinking about, so Sophian opted to be straightforward. "You know howgreat Mr. Crawford is. Don't make fun of me."

"Yes, Luke is popular. I've introduced him to many women with good looks and families, but he didn'tlike any of them." Allison said slowly. She got mad thinking of the past.

He was not interested no matter how good the other party was. All Luke wanted was Bianca.

Even though Bianca was Jack and Queenie's biological daughter, Allison still could not bring herself tolike her.

After all, Bianca reminded her of the dirty things she did in the past that she just wanted to get rid of.

"Why?" Sophian's heart tightened. She wondered if Luke's requirements for his partner were that high.

"He loves Bianca. No matter what I said or how much I paved the way for him, he still chose Bianca.He pissed me off so much at that time! Bianca is no longer in his heart, so Sophian, you still have achance." Susan patted her hand and comforted her.

Although she looked down on Sophian, it did not prevent her from encouraging her.

After all, Luke seemed like he was playing around with everyone, so she was certain that he would nottake this fling seriously. It would make Sophian want to stay by her side even more, which wouldbenefit her.

"Ms. Allison, I don't understand what you mean..." Sophian blushed and lowered her voice.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're not getting any younger. You have to fight for someopportunities yourself." Allison hinted. She did not lay it all out and decided to change the subject."Okay, help me choose one. What kind of mask should I use now?"

Sophian absent-mindedly observed the state of Allison's skin.

Allison was a little dissatisfied and said, "Sophian, do you think that I should give you a hand?"

Sophian shook her head quickly and said, "No, Ms. Allison, you're right. I should fight for it myself."

"It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that Luke never listens to me. If I help you, it might hurtyou. Whatever happens next is up to you. Besides, Luke is not who he used to be." Allison picked upone of the hydrating masks as she thought that her skin felt dry.

"Ms. Allison..."

"He hasn't divorced Bianca, but he has other women outside. Since he can do this, it means that youcan stand by his side if you fight for it. Old Master Crawford is not against what he's doing, and neitheram I. If you can win his heart, he's all yours," Allison handed the mask to Sophian and asked, "Can Iuse this?"

Sophian seemed to believe that if other women could stand by Luke's side, so could she.

She took Allison's mask, nodded, and said, "Yes, your skin is dehydrated. You can use this."

"Mm, I want to do this on the bed." Allison stood up, walked over to the bed, and lay down.

Sophian unpacked the mask and carefully applied it to her face.

"By the way, Ms. Allison, will they all stay up tonight?" Sophian asked. After all, she was from A Cityand knew about the local tradition of staying up to welcome the new year.

However, customs varied from place to place.

She had to understand the situation clearly before she could act.

"They won't stay up. They'll go back to their bedrooms after the New Year Gala," Allison closed hereyes and said.

Although the Crawford family still adhered to many traditional customs, the custom of staying up waslong abandoned because there were many children at home. They and Old Master Crawford could notstay up late.

They would usually return to their bedrooms and go to bed around midnight.

"Okay, I see." Sophian's mouth twitched slightly.

She had to seize the opportunity that night. If Allison was sent back to Korea tomorrow, she wouldnever have the chance to take action again.

Midnight.

The countdown was over, and the New Year Gala officially came to an end.

The butler helped Old Master Crawford back to the bedroom so he could rest while Luke walkedupstairs with the three sleepy children.

The children usually went to bed around 10 o'clock. It was normal for them to be sleepy since it wasmidnight now.

Fortunately, they had already washed up and changed into their new pajamas. They could go to bed assoon as they returned to the bedroom.

Luke watched the three children get into their respective beds before he returned to his bedroom.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it.

At midnight, he wished Luca a happy new year and she wished him the same.

Luke smiled and looked at his screen tenderly.

He wanted to get rid of the Island of Despair as soon as possible so that he could be reunited withLuca.

Luke took the new pajamas that Luca prepared for him, walked into the bathroom, washed up, and puton new pajamas. He lay on the bed and was ready to fall asleep.

Tomorrow, he had to get up early and accompany Old Master Crawford to the family's ancestral hall forprayers before he brought the children home.

He had not seen Luca for a long time, so he missed her.

His bedroom door was opened as soon as Luke lay down.novelbin

The sound was very soft, but he caught it with his sharp hearing. He sat up and stretched out his handto turn on the lights. "Who is it?"

Sophian was stunned and just stood there. She looked at Luke, who was on the bed, and saidawkwardly, "Mr. Crawford..."

"Get out." Luke noticed that Sophian was wearing a sexy nightgown. Her skin was almost bare. Heturned his head away and stopped looking at her.
