Chapter 722 Come Here, Don''t You Remember Me?


    After more than two years of absence, nche had grown a lot taller. Perhaps because he was a boy,


    he was half a head taller than his twin sister.


    His face was still handsome and eye-catching. His slightly curly natural hair made him look like a prince


    who came out of a fairy tale. No one would be able to look away after catching a nce at him.


    However, Lanie was staring at Luke with aplicated expression. He seemed excited, confused, and


    annoyed at the same time. Luke was not sure how to react but found it funny.


    He beckoned to nche in a fatherly tone, saying, "Come here, don''t you remember me?"


    nche hesitated for a quarter of an hour before walking slowly to Luke''s side. He said in a neutral


    tone, "Dad."


    He was mad at Luke-mad that he had disappeared for so long; mad that his disappearance had made


    his mother''s life so hard; mad that everyone else had their parents by their side but he and his sister


    suddenly came from a single-parent family.


    However, now that his father had appeared, nche suddenly realized that he missed him very much.


    Luke sighed lightly, rubbed his son’s fluffy hair, and said emotionally, "Now that you''ve grown up, you''re


    no longer the kid who obeys his dad''s orders. It''s my fault that I haven''t been here to watch you and


    your sister grow up in the past two years. I promise that I''ll always be with you from now on."


    nche rarely showed his emotions.


    Despite his young age, he was more taciturn and calm, especially in the past two years when Luke


    disappeared.


    However, when Luke touched his head as he did before he disappeared, nche threw himself into


    Luke''s arms like his sister and wailed...


    "Dad, I missed you! Mom, Rainie, Tommy, and everyone in the family missed you so much. Why did


    you go missing for so long? You don''t know how hard things have been for Mommy during your


    absence. Rainie cries a lot and Tommy is so naughty... I’m so d that you''re back. Our family has


    reunited once more... Dad, please don''t leave us again..." "Lanie, my good boy, I’m sorry. I promise you


    that no matter what happens in the future, I''ll never leave you again. Our family will always be


    together." Luke gently rubbed his son''s back with his hand. It was rare that he was so patient with


    coaxing nche.


    Bianca watched as Luke and nche hugged. The warm and touching scene made her tear up again.


    Lanie had always been a very sensible child. Especially in the past two years, he was so sensible that


    it started to worry her.


    She would always think that nche had a steady and mature personality, so he did not need as much


    attention as his sister and brother. She sometimes forgot that he was just a seven-year-old little boy!


    Bianca wanted to have a simple meal together as she had to rush back to the hospital in the afternoon,


    but Old Master Crawford firmly disagreed.


    To celebrate Luke''s return, Old Master Crawford hired a few celebrity chefs from a hotel to prepare a


    feast.


    The lunch was very hearty.


    Not only was the food on the table beautiful to look at, but the colors, aroma, and vors were all also


    spot on. The meal could make anyone salivate at first nce.


    At the huge rotating round table, Susan and Louis sat on the right side of Old Master Crawford.


    Next to Louis sat a charming woman. She was fashionable and disyed a metropolitan style.


    She was Louis'' wife, Yuri Dunn. She was also Deputy Secretary Dunn''s daughter. They got married two


    years ago.


    It was a shotgun marriage forced by Susan.


    At first, Louis had refused, but Susan threatened him by attempting suicide. Hence, forcing him to


    agree to the marriage.


    However, Louis and Yuri were not a happy couple.


    Both of them were very yful, and Louis has no love for Yuri at all. Yuri was grumpy, jealous, and had


    a strong desire to control Louis, which left a bad taste in Louis'' mouth.


    The two often fought and caused the Crawford family turmoil. From time to time, they would infuriate


    Susan so much that she regretted forcing her son to marry a domineering and unreasonable daughter-


    inw like Yuri.


    However, nothing could be done. Susan would never allow her son and Yuri to separate. One of the


    reasons was Yuri''s identity and background. Also, she could not let Allison make fun of her. All Susan


    could do was grit her teeth and endure it.


    Since getting married, Louis and Yuri had done their own thing. They disyed affection in front of


    outsiders, but they were strangers when they returned home.

    There was a high stool between Yuri and Louis. On it sat a beautiful girl who was about two years old.


    The girl''s name was Thea Crawford, and she looked like Louis. She had a sweet face and her skin was


    fair, but she was very arrogant even at a young age. Her overbearing behavior was all thanks to Susan


    spoiling her.


    On the left side of Old Master Crawford sat Luke, Bianca, the twins, and Wanda.


    It was a lot more harmoniouspared to the atmosphere on Susan''s side.


    Luke''s considerate act of picking up vegetables for Bianca, as well as his pampering attitude toward


    her, made Yuri jealous.


    Yuri shot daggers at Louis with her re. The man was eating by himself. She was so angry that she


    could not eat.


    She used her elbow to stab Louis andined in an extremely dissatisfied tone, "Look at how Luke


    is treating his wife! You? All you care about is yourself! Louis, are you a pig? Or are you blind? Don''t


    you know how to treat your wife and child well?" "What''s your problem?!" Louis stared at her


    impatiently but still grabbed a piece of braised pork.


    Yuri was overjoyed and was about topliment him, but she saw him put the braised pork in Thea''s


    bowl. He then squeezed the child''s face lovingly and said, "Thea, eat more meat to grow taller and Dad


    will take you to kayak."


    Yuri was angry, but after all, Thea was their daughter, so she could not get angry at her. All she could


    do was suppress her anger and continue shooting daggers at Louis with a re!


    Louis did not bother to pay any attention to Yuri and continued eating.


    Thea threw the braised pork that Louis ced in her bowl on the ground. Her arrogant face was raised


    high as she said unhappily, "I don’t like to eat braised pork. It''s fat and oily, it''s so disgusting! I want to


    eat the ones that are in front of you!"


    She possessively ced the dishes that were in front of Louis in front of her, like an arrogant female


    overlord. Louis was speechless. 1


    Thea would do this every time they had a meal together.


    There were certain foods that she was not a fan of, but she just liked topete for things.


    He was not sure how Susan could spoil her until she became such a tyrant at a young age.


    Susan continued eating as though it was not her problem. She was the one who instigated Thea''s


    behavior. She took pleasure in creating chaos for Allison, even if it was just a small matter.


    Luke''s expression was as cold as snow. He shot a look at Thea. The child was more sensitive, so when


    she was stared at by such a powerful man, she was so scared that she cried...
