Louis nodded. It was fine as long as Old Master Crawford came back on the second day of the new
year.
After all, many would be visiting. All of them wanted to build a good rtionship to obtain
corresponding benefits in T Corporation.
Since Luke was not at Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford had to be there.
After about five minutes, Old Master Crawford walked slowly to the living room with the help of his
cane. The butler stood beside him and carried a travel bag containing Old Master Crawford''s clothes
and other personal items.
"Did you pack everything?" Luke asked the butler.
The butler nodded and replied, "Yes, I got everything."
"I don’t need a lot of things. After all, I’m only spending a night there. I’ll be back the next day. Nothing
to worry about," Old Master Crawford said. He did not think that they needed to prepare everything.
"Great-grandpa, let''s go." Rainie stepped forward and grabbed Old Master Crawford''s free hand.
"Okay, let''s go." Old Master Crawford smiled. He felt much better.
Louis sent them off and sat on the sofa. No guests would visit that day, and he felt rxed since the
customary ceremonies had beenpleted as well.
Susan went downstairs and saw that Louis was the only one in the living room, so she asked, "Where''s
your grandfather? Is he in the study?"
"Grandpa went to Luke''s ce," Louis replied casually while he watched the news.
"He went to Luke''s house?" Susan raised her voice in surprise and walked to his side. "Why didn''t you
stop him?"
Louis could not watch the TV as she was blocking it. He moved and replied, "Why should I stop him?
Grandpa wants to have a change in environment to improve his mood for the new year. What''s the
problem?"
"You..." Susan could not help but throw a tantrum when she saw how calm he was. "You should stop
him! He’s going to Luke''s ce on such an important day. Isn’t he making it clear that he doesn’t like us
and that’s why he’s going there? I originally nned to find some business for your stupid studio during
the new year. Now, everyone will be going to Luke’s side! Since you don’t want to put up a fight, you
can go to the streets to eat dust.”
Old Master Crawford wanted to spend some time with Luke. It was normal no matter how many days
he wanted to stay at Luke''s ce.
Susan''s reaction was dramatic. He did not think that it would make a difference even if those potential
partners went to Luke''s ce because Old Master Crawford was there and did not visit Crawford
Manor for the new year.
After all, it was T Corporation who picked the partner, not them who picked T Corporation.
"What is in your head? It''s fine if you don''t live up to my expectations on a normal day, but you didn''t
even seize this opportunity during the new year. Why do I have a son like you?"
Louis stood up. He was more than a head taller than her. He said impatiently, "Grandpa will be at
Luke''s house for one day and wille back tomorrow. Even if he lives there for a whole year, so
what? What reason do I have to stop him?"
After he said that, he turned around to go upstairs.
His New Year''s started unpleasantly.
Susan stood there, baffled. ‘Old Master Crawford is just going there to stay for a day?''
She did not believe it and thought that Luke lied because he wanted to curry favor with Old Master
Crawford so he would be able to get more benefits in the future.
The butler returned after he walked Old Master Crawford to the car.
He had been standing at the entrance where he overheard Susan and Louis'' conversation. He did not
walk in to avoid the awkwardness. He only stepped in after they were done fighting.
Susan looked at the butler and asked with a frown, "You didn''t go with him?"
"Madam Susan, Old Master Crawford will only be there for a day, so he didn''t ask me to follow," the
butler said.
Susan''s heart felt a little more settled when she heard what he said. ''Since he didn''t bring along the
butler, it seems that Old Master Crawford won''t stay with Luke for a long time.''
"Why did Old Master Crawford suddenly decide to stay with him for a day?" She still wanted to know
why.
The butler said, "Old Master Crawford made the decision. I..."
"There''s no reason to hide this from me. Tell me." Susan did not intend to let the butler go easily. She
wanted to know the reason why Old Master Crawford made such a decision.
After all, Old Master Crawford did mention that he wanted Louis, Yuri, and Thea to move to the newly
renovated vi after the new year.
He also asked for Susan to move in with them.
If she did not want to, he would move out and have her live alone in Crawford Manor.

Susan had such a big reaction because she was worried that Old Master Crawford would note
back after he went to Luke''s vi.
"Cough, cough..." The butler cleared his throat. He had no choice but to inform her of the reason why
Old Master Crawford went there. "Old Master Crawford mentioned that Ms. Craw''s cooking is
wonderful and he misses it very much. He''s staying for one day so he can have three meals prepared
by Ms. Craw before hees back.”
"Ms. Craw''s cooking is delicious." The butler nodded and repeated Old Master Crawford''s words.
Susan snorted and replied, "Why didn''t I know that Old Master Crawford was a glutton?"
The butler wanted to reply that there were many things she did not know. After all, she, the daughter-
iw, did not even know what Old Master Crawford liked to eat.
However, he could not say that no matter how much he wanted to, so he just said, "Old Master
Crawford loves good food. He was too busy when he was young and didn''t have much time to eat, so
it''s not as obvious."
Susan snorted coldly. She was still suspicious. "Tomorrow, make sure you remember to pick up Old
Master Crawford yourself. If he doesn''te back, tell him that many guests are waiting for him at
home."
"Okay, Madam Susan," the butler replied. He could tell that she was afraid that Old Master Crawford
would note back.
Even if she did not remind him, Old Master Crawford would surely be back tomorrow.
He liked living with Luke and the others, but if those guests knew that he was there, they would flock
there. It would only cause trouble for Luke.
Old Master Crawford would not do that to them.
Susan thought that he was annoying and scolded him, "I''m the legal wife of Zachary. Call me Madam
Crawford!"
The butler was taken back. He did not take too much notice of such details as Allison had just left.
"Sorry, Madam Crawford," he said quickly.
When she heard him call her ''Madam Crawford'', Susan felt a little better and left.
On the other hand...
Allison, who had just been driven back to the vi by the Crawfords'' chauffeur, received a message
from a maid at Crawford Manor.
She told her that Luke went home after she left and Old Master Crawford went to his ce to spend the
new year together.
Allison frowned. Since Luke and Old Master Crawford were not there, it would be Susan''s world over at
Crawford Manor!
If that was the case, she should have lingered until Old Master Crawford and Luke left so she would not
have toe back here for the new year.
"I was sloppy," Allison whispered and gripped her phone tightly.
