"Is there anything else the old master wanted to tell me?" Luke asked. Old Master Crawford''s attitude


    toward Allison was clear enough when he let Luke deal with the matter.


    The old master did not want Allison back here.


    However, since she was Luke''s biological mother, he should let Luke make the decision.


    Still, who would be able to stop Allison if she wanted toe back? Allison would only cause trouble if


    they stopped her froming back.


    “Old Master Crawford didn''t say much about Madam Allison. But he was hoping that you could bring


    the kids back to Crawford Manor to spend New Year''s Eve together with him,” said Mr. Griffin. The old


    master was thinking of having a family reunion and celebrating the new year together with them.


    "Okay." Luke ended the call. Then, he called the interpreter he hired for Allison in Seoul.


    "Mr. Crawford, I''m sorry. I didn''t get to stop Ms. Allison from booking her flight back." Once the call was


    put through and before Luke could say anything, the interpreter took the initiative to admit her mistake.


    "When''s her flight?" Luke massaged his temples that were hurting.


    Although Allison had not returned, Luke already had a feeling that she would certainly make a scene.


    "I only saw her flight information 10 minutes ago. The flight will take ce the day after tomorrow. She''ll


    arrive there around three o''clock in the afternoon," replied the interpreter. The moment she found out


    about the flight, she thought of stopping Allison, but Allison was determined to return.


    When she was about to call Luke, her phone rang.


    "Okay. I got it," said Luke.


    "Mr. Crawford, there''s one more thing I need to report to you," said the interpreter.


    "Go ahead," replied Luke.


    "I just checked Ms. Allison''s flight information. All the flight tickets are sold out. I won''t be able to take


    the same flight as Ms. Allison," exined the interpreter. She was paid to be Allison''s interpreter and


    also to take care of her.


    However, Allison did not inform her when she was booking her flight. The reason was that she always


    reported to Luke.


    "She''s insisting oning back. It''ll be her problem if she can''tmunicate with others," said Luke.


    Allison was not someone who was highly educated. She only depended on her pretty looks to get


    together with Luke''s father.


    She did not know any Korean.


    However, since Allison had the galls to act like this, it would be her problem.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Crawford, after she was transferred to this hospital, Ms. Allison got closer with one of the


    beauticians here. The beautician ims that she''s from Imperial Capital too. Although this isn''t a big


    deal, I think I need to report to you about this," said the interpreter.


    "Okay," Luke did not take it seriously.


    Before Allison caused so much trouble, she had many friends too. However, after she got herself into


    trouble, those friends turned their backs on her.


    Perhaps the beautician only made friends with Allison because of her money.


    Luke hung up the call without keeping what the interpreter said in mind.


    Luca carried the tray upstairs and headed to Luke''s bedroom. Even though Luke did not close the door,


    she still knocked on the door.


    "Come in." Luke put down his phone when he realized it was Luca.


    Luca ced the tray on his desk and said, "Mr. Crawford, please have your dinner first."


    "Why did you bring my dinner upstairs?" Luke nced at the dishes on the tray and looked at the


    woman in front of him.


    "I thought Ms. Allison''s matter would be troublesome to deal with and you might not think of going


    downstairs to have your dinner," answered Luca. Then, she waited for his reply.


    "Yeah. It''s troublesome," Luke admitted. There were only two women who could make him frown in his


    life. One of them was Luca, who was in front of him.


    The other one would be Allison.


    The troubles Luca gave him were about love.


    On the other hand, Allison only annoyed him with the trouble she caused.


    "Are you sure she''ll being back for the new year?" Luca asked.


    "It''s been confirmed. The flight ticket has been booked too. She''ll arrive here the day after tomorrow,"


    answered Luke. Luca knew what kind of person Allison was too.


    Luca let out a sigh.


    "Where will she be staying? I don''t mean anything. It''s just that the kids sounded like they were


    overwhelmed..."


    "I''ve asked Mr. Griffin to send someone to tidy up her vi," replied Luke. He knew Allison''s


    appearance would frighten the kids.


    That was why he made such arrangements.


    Luca nodded. That was the best arrangement. At least Allison would not be staying at Crawford Manor,


    and they would still be able to live peacefully as well.


    "I''m bringing the kids to Crawford Manor to celebrate New Year''s Eve. Why don''t youe with us?"


    Luke invited her. Although there were a few days to go before it was New Year''s Eve, he wanted to


    know if she woulde along with him.


    "I won''t be joining you on New Year''s Eve. It''s an important day for family reunions. It''s inappropriate for


    an outsider like me to join you," Luca declined.


    Even though Allison would not be there, there was still another woman, Susan, who did not like her.


    Luke wanted to tell Luca that she was not an outsider. They all knew her true identity.


    However, he could not tell her now.


    Since Luca refused to go, he might as well just let her spend New Year''s Eve here quietly.


    "Okay," replied Luke. Although Luca refused to go back now, after Luke got rid of the Ind of Despair,


    he would be able to make her stay by his side.


    "It''s not going to be a peaceful new year this year," eximed Luke. He deliberately said that in front of


    Luca.


    If it were not for Luca''s current situation that was unsuitable for traveling, he would certainly bring Luca


    and the kids for a vacation abroad. It did not matter where they would be going as long as they could


    stay away from Allison and Susan''s war.


    It was a pity that staying in A City was the best choice to ensure Luca''s safety.


    Although Matysh was not in A City now, if he found out that Luke had taken Luca on vacation, he might


    make a move.


    A City was the safest ce for her.


    "Mr. Crawford, it''d be better not to get the kids involved in such things." Luca felt sorry for the kids.


    They already knew how to read one''s expressions at such a young age due to frequent family disputes.


    "They''re from the Crawford family, and they''re destined to be extraordinary. I''ll try my best. That''s all I


    can say," replied Luke. He could not protect his kids well all the time.


    After all, he had apany to manage.


    Luca smiled. She was not nning to continue to disturb him and said, "Mr. Crawford, please excuse


    me. I''m going downstairs for dinner."


    She brought Luke''s dinner upstairs first before she had her dinner.


    "Okay," replied Luke.


    Luca made her way down the stairs and headed to the dining room. Then, she sat down at the dining


    table. Tommy could not wait and asked, "Ms. Luca, is Grandma reallying back?"


    "Yes. Your grandma will be back the day after tomorrow." Luca picked up the bowl and took a sip of the


    soup. Only then did she reply to Tommy.


    "Ah..." Tommy shook his head.


    "But she''s not going to stay here this time. She won''t be staying at Crawford Manor either. She''ll be


    staying in her own vi," Luca told the kids about Luke''s arrangement.


    "But Grandma will go back to Crawford Manor if shees back. She''ll argue with Grandma Susan


    once she returns to Crawford Manor. Then, Great-grandpa will be mad again," said Rainie. She had


    already figured out what would happen on New Year''s Day.
