What bothered him was the fact that Susan did not know how to properly educate her daughter-inw.


    She let Yuri be like her, which made Old Master Crawford very unhappy. The good thing was that


    no matter how simr to Susan Yuri''s nature became, she would at least pretend to be well-behaved in


    front of him.


    Therefore, Louis was the one at a loss.


    Old Master Crawford had no intentions of interfering with that as Louis was very frivolous when he was


    younger, so having a wife like Yuri to keep an eye on him was not such a bad thing.


    Luca assisted the old master to the main seat while everyone was watching.


    After the old master had sat down, Luca thought about sitting somewhere near the edge, but Tommy


    waved at her. “Ms. Luca, sit here!"


    Looking at the spot next to the child, she hesitated for a bit.


    There was an empty spot next to Tommy, and to the right side of this empty seat was Luke...


    It was like this seat was purposely reserved for her.


    It would be odd to leave an empty seat if she did not sit there.


    Old Master Crawford deliberately said, "Luca, just sit next to Tommy."


    Since the old master said so, Luca had no choice but to sit in between Luke and Tommy.


    Tommy smiled sweetly at her and sat upright.


    Table manners were important in the Crawford family.


    After everyone had arrived, Old Master Crawford spoke, "Since everyone is here, Mr. Griffin, serve the


    food."


    "Yes, Old Master Crawford." The butler walked into the kitchen and had the maids serve the dishes for


    dinner.


    Old Master Crawford knew that Luke was bringing Luca over, so he had the chef prepare a sumptuous


    dinner that was as luxurious as a meal at a hotel.


    Tommy looked at the dishes on the table and got greedy. After the old master said to eat, Luca picked


    up her chopsticks and gave Tommy his favorite dish.


    Although she had missed out on several years of their childhood, they were still her children. During


    this period of time, she had found out what the children liked to eat.


    She thought it was normal, but this attentiveness had caught the old master''s eye.


    He was even more satisfied with her.


    Luca even knew what Tommy''s favorite foods were. It seemed like she did not intentionally approach


    the children. She was not deliberately pleasing them with ulterior motives. Besides, the children liked


    many kinds of food. Knowing what they liked the most took a lot of time and effort to understand. In the


    old master''s eyes, among all of the dishes that the child liked, Luca managed to pick Tommy''s favorite


    because she put in the effort and knew him well.


    “Thank you, Ms. Luca," Tommy thanked her contentedly.


    Susan saw them looking like mother and son and deliberately spoke, "Tommy, I think you shouldn''t call


    her Ms. Luca anymore. You''d need to change the way you address her sooner orter, so you might as


    well change it now."


    Tommy chewed his food and looked at her with a puzzled look, obviously not understanding the


    meaning of her words.


    Luca''s face had a grim expression after hearing Susan''s words. The children may not know what she


    meant, but she did.


    In the eyes of outsiders, Luke had a wife, so even if she really stood beside Luke, she would not bear a


    title.


    What Susan meant was that she seemed to want to be the mother to these children.


    In the children''s minds, their mother was still the fake Bianca, so Susan''s words made her feel deep


    malice.


    No matter how much the children liked her, they would be more attached to their mother.


    If Susan were to really break down her words, the children would think that she was here to take the


    ce of their real mother.


    Luca was very unhappy, but she did not have the identity nor a reason to criticize her for saying this.


    Susan saw the change of expression on Luca''s face and could not help but feel smug. She said,


    "Tommy, do you know why?"


    Tommy swallowed his food and answered innocently, "Why, Grandma?"


    "Because..."


    Before Susan could finish, Louis interrupted her with a frown, "Mom, what are you going on about?


    Don''t talk when eating."


    "What''s wrong? This rule doesn''t usually exist. I was just trying to exin to Tommy since he''s so


    curious. What''s the matter with that?" said Susan, unaware of the old master''s ghastly expression.


    Luke put down his chopsticks and said with a cold expression, "Mother, Grandpa doesn''t like hearing


    people gossip at the dinner table."


    "I wasn''t gossiping, I was just—" Susan''s words were ruthlessly interrupted by Old Master Crawford.


    "If you''re not using your mouth to eat, get out." Old Master Crawford''s words were filled with disgust for


    her.


    Although the children liked Luca and would not mind if Luke and Luca took a step further in their


    rtionship, the old master was still unsure about how the children felt about their mother''s role. He did


    not wish for the children to think that after Luke and Luca got together, she would rece their


    biological mother''s position.


    The children still had feelings for their biological mother.


    Susan was dissatisfied and retorted to the old master, “Father, I was just telling the children.."


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mom, have some vegetables. If you have anything to say, wait until dinner is over." Louis put some


    vegetables and meat on her te.


    When he found out that Luke was bringing the children back for dinner with Luca, he knew that there


    would be a bloodbath.


    Although nothing Susan said would affect the rtionship between the two brothers, he still wished that


    Susan would talk less as angering the old master would not do her much good.


    Susan grunted, her own son was not helping, and her daughter-inw could not even be counted on. It


    was as if everyone else at the dining table was standing on one side and her on another. Whatever she


    said was useless.


    Louis cast an apologetic nce at Luke.


    Since childhood, he had not been able to stop Susan from doing anything. In this family, only Old


    Master Crawford was able to calm her down.


    Old Master Crawford took a sip of soup and asked, "Louis, how''s the vi renovation going?"


    "Grandpa, the renovation is almost done. We just need to wait for the smell to go away," said Louis.


    Although new materials that were environmentally friendly and not harmful to their health were used for


    the vi renovation, there would still be a little formaldehyde in it.


    For the sake of Thea''s health, he intended to wait for the smell of formaldehyde to fully disperse before


    moving in.


    "When do you n to move in, then?" Old Master Crawford asked.


    "After the new year, I suppose..." said Louis.


    "Alright. After the new year, your whole family will move out," said Old Master Crawford. The whole


    family would, of course, include Susan.


    Susan could tell that those words included herself and immediately said, "I''m not moving. I won''t be


    used to living in a new vi. Just let them move out."


    Louis did not listen to her advice and moved out anyway. Her child had grown up, and she had no way


    of controlling him.


    However, she had to stay here to guard whatever belonged to her. She could not let Luke take it away.
