“Okay, Young Master Luke." Mr. Griffin sounded helpless.


    Luke hung up the call. Lanie, who sat on the passenger seat asked, "Daddy, Grandma''s doing it again,


    right?"


    "Yes." Luke sped the steering wheel tightly and reminded the kids, "Look for Great-grandpater


    when we arrive. Remember to greet him. He''s in the study. Don''te out after you go in. Got it?"


    "Okay, Daddy," the three kids replied in unison.


    They were afraid of Allison too. It would be better if they could stay far away from her.


    Luke stopped talking. Allison could be crazy and do whatever she wanted as long as she did not


    influence the kids. As a father, he had the desire to protect his kids.


    10 minutester, Luke arrived at Crawford Manor. He drove into the housepound, and after he


    parked the car, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car.


    "Daddy?" Rainie gave him a confused look.


    "If you see the elderster, greet them. Then, look for Great-grandpa," Luke reminded them again.


    "Daddy, don''t worry. We know what to do," Rainie nodded and replied.


    Luke pushed the car door open.


    Mr. Griffin knew Luke hade back. He opened the umbre and quickly walked out of the house.


    Then, he covered the kids under the umbre and said, "Young Master Luke, children, you''re finally


    back."


    "Is Grandpa still in his study?" Luke asked.


    "Yes. Old Master Crawford hasn''t stepped out of the study since Madam Allison came back," replied


    Mr. Griffin.


    "What about the other woman?" Luke asked again.


    "Madam Allison fought with Madam Crawford just now. They''ve stopped arguing for now. The maid is


    currently cleaning up her bedroom and preparing another room for the guest. She should be on the


    third floor now," answered Mr. Griffin.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Of course, Susan would not want to see Allisone back for the new year. Before the two of them


    even exchanged any words with each other, they began to quarrel.


    It was so intense that if it were not for Yuri stopping them, they would have started to fight.


    Old Master Crawford did not intend to stop them from arguing. Instead, he listened to ssical music in


    his study. He turned up the volume and closed the door. That way, the noisesing from downstairs


    would not be able to disturb him.


    However, Mr. Griffin was troubled.


    He could not hide and leave them alone like what Old Master Crawford was doing, but he was in no


    position to stop this ridiculous family argument.


    "Okay." Luke nodded without asking the reason Allison and Susan fought.


    “Mr. Griffin, let''s go in." Rainie took the initiative to hold the butler''s hand.


    "Okay." Mr. Griffin held the umbre and covered the kids so that the snow would not fall on them.


    Luke followed beside them.


    When they entered the living room, Susan was sitting on the sofa. Her face was still red. The big


    argument between her and Allison had made her blood pressure rise.


    Louis was taking her blood pressure. Then, he saw Lukeing in. He smiled and greeted, “Brother,


    you''re back."


    “Yes." Luke nodded. He knew what had happened when he saw Louis helping Susan measure her


    blood pressure. Then, Luke greeted, “Mother."


    Susan sneered. She could not say anything as Louis was still taking her blood pressure. That was why


    she did not talk or insult him.


    The three kids stood in a row and greeted Susan and Louis politely, “Hello Grandma Susan. Hello,


    Uncle Louis."


    “You''re such good children." Louis could not help but secretly let out a sigh when he looked at the three


    kids who were so polite.


    How well-mannered they were.


    His daughter, Thea, was unable to behave like that. She would hide whenever she saw someone else,


    and she would keep quiet as well. She refused to take the initiative to greet the others. Even if it was


    someone close to her, it would still depend on her mood.


    The doctor said it was normal for her as Thea was mentally unhealthy. She would slowly recover under


    her parent''s guidance.


    However, Louis thought that other than Thea being mentally unhealthy, another possibility was that she


    was being spoiled.


    Thea thought she was the little princess in the Crawford family. That was why she did not have to be


    polite. She believed that she was superior and thought highly of herself no matter who she met.


    Thea would only speak more with the people she was close to.


    Louis felt helpless as there was nothing he could do.


    Luke said to the kids, “Off you go. Say hello to Great-grandpa."


    “Yes, Daddy," replied Lanie. Then, Lanie led his younger brother and sister and left.


    Susan''s blood pressure results came out. Louis nced at the sphygmomanometer and said, “Your


    blood pressure is slightly high. Mom, sit there and rest for a while."


    "How could it be not? New Year''s isn''t even here yet and that woman is already getting on my nerves,"


    Susan said in a hostile manner. She withdrew her hand, looked at Luke, and ranted, "Luke, what''s


    wrong with your mother? It doesn''t matter if she came back to celebrate the new year, but she even


    brought a stranger here. That woman has nothing to do with the Crawford family. What''s her purpose


    for doing so?"


    “I''m sorry. That woman is her personal nurse working in the stic surgery hospital in Seoul,”


    answered Luke.


    It was indeed inappropriate for Allison to do such a thing.


    It was a day for the family to reunite, yet Allison brought an outsider here. Although she brought the


    woman back to Imperial Capital, the woman could stay at the vi. There was no need to bring her


    here.


    “Did she say that? Do you believe her? Do you even know her?” Susan threw three questions at Luke,


    then she mentioned an event that had happened in the past. “Previously, Allison brought an outsider


    into the house to steal things. Perhaps she has other ns this time. Luke, you should know that Old


    Master Crawford doesn''t like us bringing strangers back here to spend the night, especially women with


    an unknown identity. What the hell is she thinking?”


    “Mom, stop bringing up the past.” Louis was a little embarrassed. It had been so long and Allison had


    already gotten what she deserved. It was pointless for Susan to bring it up.


    “I''m sorry. I''ll talk to her,” replied Luke in a cold voice. He was thinking of sending that woman back to


    the vi.


    "You can''t do anything either. It''s obvious that Old Master Crawford doesn''t want that woman in his


    house, but your mother insists on letting that woman spend the night here and celebrate the new year


    with us. Are you better at convincing her than Old Master Crawford?" Susan asked with a disgusted


    look on her face, and she continued, "It seems like I have to lock all the cabs where I store my


    jewelry. Otherwise, someone might steal it. We have to beware of someone who has a criminal record,


    after all. Birds of a feather flock together. I''m afraid that woman is up to no good."


    Luke remained silent while Louis tugged on Susan''s sleeve.


    Susan pulled back her sleeve and glowered at him.


    It did not matter if Louis was not helping her, but he was even acting like this.


    “Anyway, Luke, you know what kind of person your mom used to be. I have to be straightforward with


    you. If anything happens when your Mom and that woman are here in our house, don''t me me for


    calling the police,” said Susan. She rose to her feet and staggered for a moment because of her high


    blood pressure.


    “Mom, let me help you. Let''s go back to your room.” Louis quickly helped her up.


    Susan sneered and said, “I''m going to my room to keep my expensive jewelry and designer handbags


    before an unknown person sees them and tries to steal them.”
