Queenie sat at the dinner table and looked at Jack suspiciously. "Why are you so happy? Did


    something good happen?"


    "I’m just happy to see my son-inw," Jack mentioned Luke deliberately.


    Queenie smiled helplessly as she shook her head.


    "What? Aren''t you happy?" Jack asked.


    "I''m happy, but the kids aren’t here. I miss them," Queenie said. She had not mentioned the children,


    but she missed them a lot.


    "Sorry, Mother-inw." Luke apologized when he heard what she said. "I didn''t bring the kids here


    because I needed to talk to Jack. I''ll bring them over when they’re on holiday."


    Queenie nodded with a smile and replied, "Okay."


    "Where are the kids now?" Jack asked, concerned.


    "They''re at Crawford Manor," Luke replied. He saw the maid walk over with a bottle of wine, it was high


    in alcohol content.


    "It''s nice that Old Master Crawford is watching them," Jack nodded.


    Queenie sighed and said, "How is it nice? Old Master Crawford needs to rest, and the children would


    be making a lot of noise. Luke, next time when you don''t have time to watch the kids, send them over. I


    can take care of them. I miss my grandchildren."


    "Okay." Luke did not take her words to heart.


    He knew that Queenie was upied.


    She spent most of her thoughts and time worried about Leia.


    Although Luke did not know much about Leia''s situation, he knew that her condition had worsened.


    She had no choice but to wait for a liver transnt.


    At the same time, he had yet to take action on this matter.


    Leia was still making a fool of herself, and Johann said that she still had time. Hence, it was not yet


    time for him to make a move.


    Luke intended to help her when Leia stopped acting out or when other situations arose.


    "Since the kids aren’t around, I don''t need to be a role model. Luke, let’s have a drink," Jack picked up


    the bottle of wine.


    Luke stood up quickly and said, "Father-inw, let me do it."


    "Okay." Jack handed him the wine and asked him to pour himself a ss.


    Luke poured Jack a ss of wine and another for himself.


    Queenie shook her head helplessly but did not stop them when she thought of how Jack did not drink


    much even if he liked to.


    "Luca, let''s eat," she said.


    "Okay, Aunt." Luca picked up the chopsticks and started eating.


    Jack and Luke drank a lot throughout the meal.


    Luca looked at the two flushed faces, shook her head helplessly, and asked softly, "Mr. Crawford, do


    you need the hangover prevention medicine?"


    She did not expect that Jack would drink that much with Luke. He opened another bottle when they


    were done with the first.


    "No, it''s okay," Luke said. He did not need to be sober in front of Jack and Queenie. He also did not


    intend to be sober when he was alone with Luca.


    Luca hesitated to speak.


    Jack said, "Luca, it''s okay. Luke can drink."


    Queenie looked at her husband''s flushed face. It looked like he had been drinking too much. She


    shook her head helplessly and said, "Yes, you can drink. You already drank two bottles. Drinking so


    much is not good for your health!"


    "It''s fine, I don''t drink often," Jack said cheerfully.


    Queenie did not know what to do with him, so she said, "Luke, you and your father-inw can go to the


    living room and have a seat. I''ll make you some hangover tea."


    "Mother-inw, it''s okay. It''s gettingte, so I''ll head off now. You can prepare the hangover tea for


    Father-inw," Luke said. The more he drank, the more he spoke.


    "How can this be?" Queenie frowned as he drank quite a lot.


    "It''s not me who''s going to be driving, so it''s all good." Luke looked at Luca and stood up. He was


    steady and did not appear as though he had been drinking.


    Seeing this, Queenie had no choice but to say, "Okay then. Get back safe."


    "Okay, Father-inw. Goodbye," Luke said.


    Luca followed suit. "Uncle Jack, Aunt Queenie, goodbye."


    Jack stood up cheerfully and waved at them. "Goodbye. Doe by more often. We enjoy your


    company."


    Luca heard Jack and felt an overwhelming sadness.


    Parents always missed their children.


    She wanted her children to be by her side but she could not do that for her own parents.


    Queenie shook her head. "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    It made sense for Luke to visit them. He was their son-inw, after all. However, Luca...


    She was not their daughter, so there was no reason for her to visit often.


    "Sit here and don''t move. I''ll send them off," Queenie told Jack and walked out with them.


    Luke walked fairly steadily. When he walked to the side of the car, he subconsciously wanted to open


    the driver''s door.


    Luca said quickly, "Mr. Crawford, you''ve been drinking. Let me drive."


    "Oh, yes." Luke went around the front of the car and walked over to the passenger seat.


    Queenie watched from the side, shook her head, and said, "You said you weren''t drunk..."

    Luca listened to Queenie''s words and was full of helplessness. She said, "Aunt Queenie, I''ll send Mr.


    Crawford back first."


    "Okay, okay." Queenie paused before she said, "Luca, after you send him back, make sure he''s in the


    living room before you leave. I''m afraid that he''ll be so drunk he''d sleep outside."


    Luca felt a little guilty. Queenie did not know that they stayed together...


    "I know." She agreed, opened the door, and sat in the driver''s seat.


    Luca nced at the front passenger seat and found that Luke had buckled his seatbelt. He was leaning


    against the seat with his eyes closed.


    His brows were still slightly furrowed. He seemed to be ufortable because of the alcohol.


    Luca sighed, buckled up, and left Norman Residence.


    As soon as she drove off, she heard Luke say, "Don''t sigh, I''m fine."


    "Mr. Crawford, don''t you need to take the hangover prevention medicine?" Luca asked. Although it may


    not be as effective as taking it before drinking, it would still be somewhat effective.


    At least he would not be as ufortable.


    "No, I don''t want to take the medicine. I want to..." Luke stopped talking halfway.


    "What do you want?" Luca asked.


    "I want a good night''s sleep," Luke said.


    Luca''s heart sank.


    ‘He means that he wants to take advantage of being drunk and get a good night''s sleep? Could it be


    that his sleep quality has not been the best?''


    Luca did not dare to delve into it, so she could only focus on looking ahead and driving carefully.


    She could drive Luke''s car, but she was not familiar with it. It snowed, so she drove slowl.


    The original half-hour drive took her more than an hour to arrive at the vi.
