-Degree Change In Attitude!
At night.
Old Master Crawford was dressed grandly in a bespoke suit, as though he was attending an event.
He seemed much more spirited than other days.
Bianca thought that the atmosphere at the dining table was different. She noticed that Old Master
Crawford would steal nces at her, as thoughparing her with someone else.
Sometimes he nodded, but sometimes he sighed. Bianca was confused.
She looked curiously at Luke, but Luke smiled and said nothing. He scooped some sd for her and
said, "You should eat more."
Before she could take a bite, Old Master Crawford put a fish fillet on her te.
Bianca looked at Old Master Crawford with surprise. "Thank you, Grandfather..." "Mm," Old Master
Crawford replied, "You''re too thin, and you should eat more fish. That''ll be good for you and your baby.
I hope that the baby will be as smart as Lanie and Rainie too."
He could guess from his grandson''s hint that Bianca might be the long-lost Ms. Norman.
That exined the 180-degree change of his attitude toward her! 1
The more he looked at Bianca, the more surprised he became.
He realized that his granddaughter-inw looked simr to Queenie, and he wondered why he had not
noticed that before.
It would be great if Bianca were really Chris Norman''s granddaughter. Their wish could finallye
true.
The more Old Master Crawford thought about it, the happier he became. He put some shrimp on
Bianca''s te and advised her, "Bianca, now that you''re married to Luke, you are now a part of the
Crawford family. I hope that you can take up your responsibilities and help Luke. You can ask me if you
need any help."
Other than Luke, everyone else around the dining table stared at Old Master Crawford with surprise!
Allison was utterly shocked as though she had seen a ghost!
Ever since those unhappy episodes involving Bianca, she knew very well that Old Master Crawford
hated Bianca!
Why did his attitude toward Bianca change so abruptly?
Allison chewed her food slowly, but she thought that it was tasteless.
No one noticed how icy her gaze was when she looked at Bianca''s bulging stomach!
Bianca tried to eat all the food that Old Master Crawford had picked for her. She replied, "Thank you for
your concern, Grandfather. Luke is my husband, and I know what I should do. I’ll improve myself so
that I can be a match for him."
Allison chuckled coldly. "What a boast! Do you think you can do that? I''m afraid you won''t be a match
for my son even if you spend the rest of your life improving yourself!"
Old Master Crawford''s expression sank, and he rebuked Allison sternly." How can you say that,
Allison? Bianca is your daughter-inw. Is that how you should treat her? Bianca and Luke have
already registered their marriage, and they''re already a legally married couple. You might not like it, but
she''s undeniably your daughter-inw. Don''t tell me that you’d want to force them apart!"
Allison was unhappy that her father-inw had rebuked her. "So what if they divorce? Isn''t that normal
in modern society? My son is the best. It doesn''t matter if he remarries twice, thrice, or more times.
Many women will still want him."
Old Master Crawford wanted to whack that stupid daughter-inw with his walking stick!
He remembered that she was Luke''s mother and decided not to do so.
Even so, he waved his walking stick at Allison as he rebuked her, "That''s ridiculous! Any other mother
would wish for her son to have a harmonious family. I haven''t seen a mother hope that their son would
divorce! Don''t let me hear that again. Luke, now that you''ve married her, you''ll have to be responsible
for her. The Crawford family should not have any divorce scandals!"

Allison dared not say a word after that. She stabbed the steak on her te, releasing her anger on it as
though it were Bianca.
Susan seemed unconcerned, but she wasughing up her sleeve. Old Master Crawford had
recognized Bianca to be part of the Crawford family, and only Allison, that idiot, remained stubborn.
However, she was happy to see the conflict between Allison and her daughter-inw. The worse their
rtionship, the better it was for Susan.
Luke elegantly wiped his hands with a napkin, gently held Bianca''s hand, and made a solemn promise
to his grandfather. "Don''t you worry, Grandfather. Bianca is my wife, and she is the only woman I will
love. I will not disappoint her."
Old Master Crawford wasforted. "Mm. I''ll leave thepany to you two."
Susan turned to look at Old Master Crawford, feeling ufortable and disheartened.
The news that Leia Norman ckmailed Dr. Hoover to falsify the DNA test results had sent
shockwaves all over A City.
Mr. Norman had juste out of a meeting. He was walking together with his subordinates, discussing
the agenda from the meeting earlier. He nned to go with them to one of the developing rural areas
for a focused survey. There, he would visit the farms, themunity healthcare centers, the small-
scale factories, and other ces.
He had just parted ways with his subordinates when his secretary rushed over and whispered
something in his ear.
Mr. Norman''s expression changed drastically. He turned around and walked back into his office in big
strides.
He sat down on his leather swivel chair and made an internal call to his secretary, saying that he
wanted some peace and quiet for himself.
He took off his coat and tie. Then, he impatiently lit a cigarette.
Standing in front of the window, he red at the bustling city below him. He remembered the negative
press his adoptive daughter had received, and his expression sank.
He was extremely tired.
It was the first time in his life that he did not want to clean up his adoptive daughter''s mess.
When Leia woke up at the hospital that day, she had hugged her mother and wailed loudly. "Mom, I
can''t bear to see you miss your birth daughter and fall sick again. That''s why I did that so that you don''t
have to worry anymore. I didn''t expect things would turn out this way. I know that I''m wrong. Won''t you
and Dad forgive me? I promise that I won''t make the same mistake again. I know I''m wrong..."
Leia crying was Queenie''s soft spot. She chose to forgive her daughter.
However, Mr. Norman was more sensible than that, and he would not let his emotions cloud his
judgment. Leia''s tears and excuses did not convince him. Instead, he became more disappointed by
his adoptive daughter.
He could not say that he was a saint, but at least he knew what was the right thing to do. His wife was
also gentle and kind. Their daughter should not turn out like that.
He did not expect too much from his daughter, but she should at least be kind and honest instead of
scheming and lying.
However, where could his birth daughter be?
