Chapter 1022 Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown


    "I’m not struggling!" Rainie made a face at nche as she slowly did her homework.


    nche shook his head indifferently and yed with the trinkets on the table.


    Luke watched by the side as his daughter finished thest question. She then handed her workbook to


    Bianca. "Mom, I''m done."


    Bianca checked and found that there was no problem with it. She then signed her name at the bottom


    of the page.


    "Mommy, Daddy, can I go y?" Rainie asked while blinking her big round eyes.


    "Go for it, but don’t go out of control." Bianca agreed and helped them put their workbooks in their


    school bags.


    Rainie and nche walked out of the study.


    Bianca put the school bags aside. She only feltfortable talking about the break-in after the children


    left.


    "Did Grandpa me you?" She put her hand on the back of his hand and asked with concern.


    Luke grabbed her hand and rubbed her fingers lightly as he replied, "No."


    Bianca knew that Old Master Crawford was a reasonable man. However, this was not a trivial matter


    and she was worried that the old man would me Luke.


    Only she, who was always by his side, knew that Luke had invested a lot of time on the Crawford family


    and T Corporation. Sometimes, he would apany her to bed and after she fell asleep, he would


    quietly go to the study to work overtime. He only went back to the bedroom to sleep for two hours


    before the break of dawn.


    Bianca felt distressed for him but could not say anything. ''Heavy is the head that wears the crown.''


    Seeing him working so hard and being so exhausted, she only had one thought. She would match his


    footsteps and help him in the future.


    The caretaker knocked on the doorand walked in. She said respectfully," Master, Madam, Old Master


    Crawford has asked me to inform you that dinner is ready." "Okay." Luke took Bianca''s hand, stood up,


    and went downstairs.


    The atmosphere at the dining table was tense. Susan wanted to act out but dared not with Old Master


    Crawford around.


    Louis and Yuri were taking care of Thea in the hospital. They were not eating nor sleeping well. Susan


    was frustrated at the thought, and after having two bites, she put down her utensils and said, "I''m full."


    Old Master Crawford ignored her. Susan left the dining room with her blood boiling.


    Bianca got some greens for Tommy and watched him enjoy the food. He was the happiest out of


    everyone at the dinner table.


    "Mommy, can I have some meat?" Tommy said, not satisfied that she only took vegetables for him.


    Bianca ced two pieces of fish on his te.


    Tommy continued to eat.


    Old Master Crawford took a sip of whisky and found it tasteless. He put down his utensils and asked,


    "Luke, what has your mother been up to recently?"


    Luke paused, his expression remaining neutral as he asked, "What''s wrong?


    "I asked the butler to invite her for dinner today but the call didn''t go through. Is she busytely?" Old


    Master Crawford asked. He was furious that Allison did not answer a call from the manor.

    ''Allison is rich and thinks that she can disrespect me like that?!’ "I don''t know." Luke took a sip of the


    soup. He and Gordan Norton had gotten someone to monitor Allison while the investigation was going


    on.


    The person told them that Allison had been in the vi for the past few days, not going out at all.


    This was out of the ordinary.


    Allison would hang out with other socialites whenever she had the time. It was rare for her to stay home


    for several days in a row.


    Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had his hands full with work but he still said to him earnestly,


    "She’s your mother. Check-in on her when you have the time. Else, people may gossip." "I will,


    Grandpa." Luke agreed to his request.


    After dinner, Old Master Crawford skipped watching the news and went back to his bedroom after


    walking around the living room for a while. He said that he was tired.


    Bianca sat beside Luke and watched cartoons with the children.


    She put her head on his broad shoulder. She thought of what Old Master Crawford said at the dinner


    table and asked, "What do you think Grandpa was implying?"


    It was rare for Old Master Crawford to mention Allison''s name since she moved out.


    "Mom didn''t answer the phone so Grandpa is angry." Luke took out his phone and called Allison.


    The phone rang five times before it was connected. "What can I do for you?


    Bianca leaned on his shoulder and heard Allison''s voice on the other end of the phone. If it had been in


    the past, Allison would be enthusiastic upon receiving Luke''s call. Her voice was different now, and


    Bianca could tell that she was angry.


    "Nothing much. We had a family dinner tonight and Grandpa asked why you didn''t answer the phone."


    Luke nced at Bianca and held her hand.


    Allison paused. It turned out that the butler had called her about this. When her phone rang earlier in


    the day, she thought it was because they had found evidence against her.


    Allison was relieved that it was not the case and replied, "So what? In your eyes, I''m not a member of


    the Crawford family anyway. Is there anything else that you want to talk about? Else, I’ll hang up."


    After the butler called, she had been in a constant state of worry. She feared that the police would


    come over and cause her trouble.


    Now that she had received a call from Luke, she was relieved to find out the truth.


    Luke stopped talking, and Allison just hung up.


    Elsa, who was on the side, was massaging her shoulders. "Madam, did your son call?"


    She had seen Luke on TV and thought that if she could see such a handsome man in real life, it would


    be a feast for her eyes.


    "Don''t mention that unfilial son of mine." Allison clutched her chest. She still could not let go of what


    had happened in Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.


    Elise knelt on the cushions to massage her legs and answered softly, "At the end of the day, you''re


    mother and son. You shouldn''t hold a grudge against him. On top of that, you should be proud of your


    amazing son."


    Allison closed her eyes and enjoyed their service. She was proud of Luke, but their rtionship had


    taken a turn for the worse since Bianca appeared.


    "You haven’t been a mother so you don’t know the pain I feel," she said while pointing to a sore spot on


    her shoulder. "Focus on this spot. I haven’t been sleeping well and would feel tired the entire day."


    "Madam, 111 make you a cup ofvender tea before you go to bed. It can improve your quality of


    sleep." Elise said.


    "Okay." Allison smiled. She had not been going out and keeping a close eye on her safe for fear of


    others finding out. She could not rx, which exined her deteriorating sleep quality.


    Over at Crawford Manor.


    Bianca heard the busy tone from Luke''s phone and knew that Allison had abruptly ended the call. This


    was rare, and it seemed that she was really


    angry.


    Although what had happened at her firm was mostly due to Allison being too sensitive and they had not


    done anything wrong, as Allison''s daughter- inw, she still had to take a step back.


    Luke did not intend to apologize. Since he was a kid, he was the kind of person who would admit to his


    mistakes. If he knew that he was in the right, he would never apologize. However, after Bianca made


    the suggestion, he agreed with her and said, "Okay."
