Chapter 2433
Allison was fuming, but she eventually left while cursing at Luke.
She had not had lunch, so she brought Sophian to a nearby restaurant.
Allison did not want to be watched like a monkey, so she booked a private room.

Sophian handed her a glass of lemonade and said, "Ms. Allison, don't be mad."
"How can I not be mad? I'm his mother, yet he's treating me like this. I..." Allison took a sip of thelemonade that Sophian handed her.
Her quality of life was getting worse by the day.
Sophian listened to her speak in silence.
After the past few interactions, she found that their mother-son relationship was not the best.
Sophian wondered if she had made the wrong move by choosing to listen to Allison.
'I should've curried favor with Old Master Crawford when I first arrived at Crawford Manor. After all, itseems that Luke respects Old Master Crawford more than he does Allison. If I had managed to pleaseOld Master Crawford, I may have benefited from it and left a good impression on Luke. Things wouldsurely be better than they are now.'
Sophian thought that she had lost her chance and felt a little down. She was in her zone for a while.
"Are you listening to me?" Allison noticed that she was distracted and tapped the table with her fingersslightly bent.
Sophian came back to her senses and smiled apologetically. "Ms. Allison, I'm listening to you. Mr.Crawford may have misunderstood you. I believe that blood is thicker than water and that these issuescan be resolved. "
Allison thought that what she said made sense. 'Luke has been spending too much time with peoplelike Susan. When I was in prison, our relationship dropped to a freezing point, which is why things arethe way they are now.'
"What do you think I should do?" she asked.
Sophian thought about it and replied, "If there's a misunderstanding between the two of you, resolvethe misunderstanding and all will be well. The relationship can still be saved since you two are relatedby blood. I feel like Mr. Crawford will understand your perspective if you treat him sincerely and talkabout it with an open heart."
Allison frowned as she thought about what Sophian said.
"Then I..." She thought that Sophian made some good points.
"Ms. Allison, why don't we wait and see if there are any telecommunication shops open tomorrow? Ifso, you can apply for a new SIM card, call Mr. Crawford, and tell him that you're waiting at the entranceto have a chat with him. If he doesn't come out, tell him that you'll be standing by the door waiting."Sophian knew Allison was not sure what to do, so she proposed an idea.
She would benefit from it if Allison had a better relationship with Luke.
"Wait at the entrance? How shameful!" Allison subconsciously resented the idea as she was not thetype to do such a thing.
"Ms. Allison, don't you want to clear up the misunderstanding with Mr. Crawford? This is the best wayto show your sincerity," Sophian advised.
Allison thought about it for a while but still could not make a decision. "Give me some time to thinkabout it."
Sophian knew what she was struggling with.
Allison could not let go of the fact that she was Luke's mother yet had to apologize to him. She had towait at the entrance until he showed up so that he would not cut her off. It was embarrassing.
There were not many parents who could apologize to their children... ...
The next day.
Allison went with Sophian's advice and bought some snacks that children liked to eat as well as toys.She appeared in front of the entrance of Luke's villa and intended to admit to her mistake.
The security guard was the same one on duty the day prior, so he was a little surprised to see Allisonreturning with bags in her hands.
However, Luke had told the management office that he did not welcome any visitors.
As such, Allison would not be able to gain access no matter how many things she brought over.
Allison ignored the security guard standing at the security booth. She did not pester him like she did theday before and instead pressed on the intercom.
She pressed it twice but there was no response from the other end.
Allison frowned and looked at the security guard. "Is your bell broken?"
"No, it's working fine. Yesterday, Mr. Crawford told us to turn off the intercom. You won't get anyresponse no matter how many times you press it," the security guard said.
"How can this be?!" Allison screeched.
"It's the owner's choice," the security guard explained to her.
Allison shoved the bags into Sophian's hand and shouted to the security guard, "I know for a fact thatyou can get in touch with him. Help me reach out to him and I'll pay you."
"Sorry, Ma'am. There are rules that I have to abide by. I can't help you." The security guard shook hishead and turned her down.
"You!" Allison turned around to look at Sophian.
Sophian reminded her, "Ms. Allison, don't you have a new SIM card?" Allison took out her phone fromher LV bag. She already got someone in the telco store to put the new SIM card in her phone. Shecalled Luke.
Luke answered the call after a few seconds.
"Who is this?"
Allison went straight to the point, "Luke, I'm your mother. I have something to talk to you about. Canyou let me in?"
"It's not a good time," Luke replied.
"You're already at home. What do you mean by it's not a good time..." Allison almost lost it when heturned her down. However, she was here to apologize. She was certain that Luke would hang up thecall and block her if she lost her temper.
By then, the new SIM card would be useless.
"Luke, I know that I crossed the line with what I did before. I'm right at your door. Come out and I'llexplain it all to you. I'll do whatever you want after you hear me out," she spoke in a gentle tone inhopes of coaxing him.
Nevertheless, Luke was no longer a young lad.
He knew what she was up to.
"I don't have time." Luke refused. He would not sympathize with her even if he faced Allison and shewent on and on about how miserable she was.
The main reason why he did not want to see her was simply that he found interacting with her irritable.
Allison would always apologize and do a 360 immediately after messing things up. He had seen ithappen many times and was not interested in seeing it again as he felt that it was a waste of time.
He did not want to hear her false promises.
Allison was annoyed that he had rejected her twice in a row. When she saw Sophian shaking her head,she held back her anger and said, "It's fine if you don't want to talk to me, but I bought snacks and toysfor the children. Why don't you come out and get them?"
"I'm not free," Luke continued to reply to her with the same words and tone as if the lines wereprerecorded on a tape recorder.
"How busy can you be during the New Year?!" Allison questioned him.
Those at Crawford Manor were busy, but Luke was hiding at his place during the New Year, allowingSusan and Louis to build their network.
Luke kept silent.
Allison took a deep breath. She did not dare to stay silent for too long as she was worried that Lukewould just hang up the phone.
She said, "Well if you don't have time, you can ask the maid to come out and get it. These are gifts Ibought for the children as their grandmother. You can't refuse them on behalf of the children." "Leavethem at the security booth. Aunt Neile isn't home right now." Luke did not give Allison any chance tostep into their home.
