Chapter 2434
"Is it that hard for me to catch a glimpse of my grandkids?" Allison asked grumpily. However, Luke hadhung up.
Sophian was struggling to carry the two bags in her hands. She knew what had happened when shesaw Allison's expression.
"Ms. Allison, why don't we go back first?" She suggested. Her hands felt like they were about to besnapped by the content of the bags.
Allison spent a lot of money and bought a lot of high-quality children's things to please Luke.
She and Allison had no use for the goods. If Allison went to get a refund, she could get their moneyback.
"What about these two bags?" Allison looked at the bags that Sophian was holding.
"We can..." Sophian paused and asked, "Did Mr. Crawford say anything?"
"He told me to leave these in the security booth." Allison was annoyed at Luke's lack of appreciation.
Sophian pursed her lips and tried to persuade her, "In that case, Ms. Allison, let's leave these at thesecurity booth. I'm sure that Mr. Crawford will send someone out to get them."
"Why should I put these here for him? I bought them all with my money. Why do I have to lose moneywhen he doesn't want to accept my kind will?" Allison said. She then turned around to leave.
Sophian quickly followed behind her. "Ms. Allison, aren't you trying to mend your relationship with Mr.Crawford? This is also an opportunity to show your concern for his children..."
Allison stopped, looked down, thought about it for a while, and commanded Sophian, "Okay fine. Putthem in the security booth, then."
Sophian nodded and handed the two bags to the security guard at the booth. "These are for Mr.
Crawford. He'll come to pick them up later."
"Did Mr. Crawford say that?" The security guard confirmed with her.
After all, they looked more like they were going to harass Luke.
"Yes, of course. If Mr. Crawford doesn't come to pick them up, you can do whatever you want withthem," Sophian said. She reminded him, "The things inside are very expensive. Don't touch them if youdon't need to."
With that, she turned around and left with Allison.novelbin
The security guard looked at them as they were leaving, then at the two bags. In the end, he picked upthe walkie-talkie and told his line manager about what happened.
After Luke hung up on Allison, he walked to the kitchen entrance and said to Aunt Neile, who waspreparing lunch, "Aunt Neile, you can go home to rest this afternoon. You don't have to come overthese next couple of days."
Aunt Neile stopped what she was doing and looked at Luke in surprise. "Mr. Crawford?"
"Luca and I will take the kids out for a few days, so you don't have to come to work," Luke said. It wasthe New Year's holiday, and Aunt Neile was not expected to work anyway.
"Okay, Mr. Crawford. I understand. Nevertheless, I'll still come here every two days. If the house isn'tcleaned up, dust might accumulate. It'll be too late to clean the place up when you're back," Aunt Neile
thought about it and said.
"Mm, also, there are two bags that Ms. Tanner brought over in the security booth. Go and get themwhen you're free." Luke nodded, turned around, and walked upstairs.
The kids were doing their things in their respective bedrooms when Luke walked in to tell them abouttheir last-minute trip.
The children cheered when they heard about the trip. All of them stood up, took out their suitcases, andstarted packing.
Luke arrived at the study's entrance and knocked on the door.
Luca went into the study early in the morning and said that she wanted to correct some experimentaldata, but she had not been out yet.
"Come in." Luca's voice came from inside the study.
Luke opened the door and looked at Luca, who was sitting at the desk typing away on the keyboard.He did not go in but instead stood at the door and watched her work for a while.
After a while, Luca remembered that someone had knocked on the door just now, so she looked up atthe entrance, only to meet his gaze.
"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?"
"Mm, are you busy?" Luke said. He did not want to disturb Luca when she was busy.
Luca shook her head and replied, "I'm not too busy. You can talk to me."
"Are you done with work?" Luke asked without revealing his plans.
"I'm almost done..." Luca saved the file without telling him about the problem that she encountered.She did not have enough research equipment to go into deep analysis of every data point of themedicine. She did not want to take the risk of trying things blindly, so she intended to rent a laboratory.
However, she could only use her ID card since no one could help her when it came to renting alaboratory. She was worried that it would arouse Abel's suspicions.
As such, Luca had no idea how to advance her research progress.
"Mm." Luke nodded and went straight to the point. "Let's go on a trip. We'll leave this afternoon."
"Okay." Luca did not turn him down. She thought about it and asked, "Where to?"
"It's a secret for now. Pack your bags," Luke informed her and left the study.
'Pack my bags?'
Luca was taken back. She rushed out, looked at Luke, and asked, "Mr. Crawford, why do I have topack my bags? Are we going to be away for some time?"
"Mm, we'll come back the day before work," Luke said. Allison would stop coming to him if he left thehouse.
Luca frowned.
'He didn't have any plans to travel before. Why does he suddenly feel like going on a trip? Is it becauseof Allison? There're many ways to avoid her. We don't have to go on a trip just because of that...'
Luca returned to the study and turned off her computer. She then went into the bedroom, opened thecloset, and started packing.
There were still several days before she had to go to work, so she packed up a few sets of her favoriteclothes, zipped the suitcase, and glanced at the time. It was time for lunch.
She went downstairs and bumped into Aunt Neile, who had just come in from the outside.
"Aunt Neile, why are you carrying two bags?" Luca noticed Aunt Neile's movements and guessed thatthe bags were quite heavy, so she stepped forward to help carry one.
"Thank you." Aunt Neile breathed a sigh of relief. "They're from Madam Allison. Oh, I mean Ms. Tanner.They were in the security booth, and Mr. Crawford asked me to go get them. I didn't expect them to beso heavy."
"Ms. Tanner was here?" Luca was surprised. She had been in the study all morning, so she did notknow about what happened.
"She was here but she couldn't get in. I heard from the security guard that she put down the two bagsand left," Aunt Neile explained as she walked to the storage room with her.
"Was Ms. Thomas here too?" Luca asked. She remained neutral when she mentioned Sophian.
Many people adored Luke, so she was used to it.
Luke would never interact with those women unnecessarily, so she did not find the need to be jealous.
She would be green with envy if she was resentful of all the women who admired Luke.
"Ms. Thomas was also here, but it was the same case. She didn't get to come inside." Aunt Neile putthe bags on the shelf, glanced at them, and said in surprise, "These are all children's toys and snacks."
