"Okay." Luke nodded.
After Mr. Zac got Luke''s permission, James and Mr. Zac left in a hurry.
After Mr. Zac left, Luke looked up and stared at Allison coldly. "You can go back to the vi now. Don''t
go to Crawford Manor anymore."
"Don''t worry. I''ve got my money. I won''t stay even if you ask me to, and I''m not going to Crawford
Manor anymore." Allison nned to book the flight ticket right away after she got the money.
She refused to stay here for another second.
She did not leave now only because she was afraid Luke would cancel the transaction before she
received the money.
"It''s not going to be a penny less." Luke rose to his feet and made his way up the stairs. There was not
even a trace of familial love between the mother and son''s conversation.
As Allison watched Luke go up the stairs, she gritted her teeth angrily and scolded, "You have such a
nice house, yet you still want my vi. You bastard."
Sophian took her eyes off Luke andforted Allison, saying, "Ms. Allison, stop being mad. Mr.
Crawford didn''t say that he''s not going to allow you to stay in the house once he takes it. You have the
right to live in the house. It doesn''t sound that bad."
"But that would mean I''m losing the asset." Allison was unconvinced.
Although the value of the vi was increasing at a slower speed, it was considered an investment too.
The value of the asset would grow in the future.
Now, the vi belonged to Luke. Although Allison had received a huge amount of money, it would
be lesser as time passed. It would not increase in value...
Sophian was puzzled when she saw that Allison''s face was red with anger.
She would not be able to bring the house along with her when she passed away. If Allison passed
away, the house would still belong to Luke.
Was it not better to have money now?
Luke would not treat Allison badly. Hence, it was nothing to Sophian.
However, Allison was still mad about it. Sophian dared not to reason with her now.
"Ms. Allison, are we going to wait here until you receive the money?" Sophian asked carefully.
It usually took some time for a huge amount of money to be transferred to another ount. Besides,
the banks were closed during the holidays. Things would be dyed a little.
"Of course. What am I supposed to do if I don''t receive the money? I''m going to Seoul tomorrow," said
Allison. She picked up her phone and checked for tomorrow''s flight.
Allison was in a hurry to return to Seoul to get her surgery done. Thus, she decided to book the
morning flight.
She only had to wait until Luke''s money was transferred into her bank ount, then she would be able
to book the flight.
When Sophian heard Allison had decided to return to Seoul, she was reluctant to leave.
Although Luke hated her, she had fallen in love with him. How she wished she could marry such an
outstanding man.
"Okay, Ms. Allison. You''ll be able toe back here once your surgery has seeded," replied
Sophian. She wondered if she would be able to follow her back here if Allison''s surgery was a sess.
It seemed like she had to serve Allison well if she wanted to return.
Perhaps she could grab a chance to return here.
Although Allison was bad-tempered, staying by her side and serving her was much better than serving
the patients in the hospital.
The two of them sat there for a while. Other than Aunt Neile, who came to refill their tea, no one else
was moving around in the living room.
Half an hourter, noises came from the stairs.
Sophian immediately turned to look at the staircase.
Was it Luke?
However, the voices that she heard woke her up from her daydream. It was the children''s voices
instead of Luke''s.
“Ms. Luca, Ms. Luca, I''m craving cookies. Please bake some cookies for us..." Tommy''s voice came
from the stairs. A few secondster, Sophian saw Tommy holding Luca''s hand while they walked down
the stairs.
Luke actually shacked up with this woman?!
Besides, the children were living with them. It seemed like the child was close to Luca.
Jealousy started to fill Sophian''s heart.
Luca noticed that Allison and Sophian were sitting in the living room downstairs. She was startled for a
moment, then she remained rooted in the spot.
Luca had seen Luke heading to the second floor to continue with his drawings. She thought he had
finally settled Allison''s matter. Therefore, she did not expect Allison to still be here.
"Good morning, Ms. Tanner," Luca greeted her embarrassedly.
Luca was not Bianca now. As she had been ying this new role for quite some time, she would get
nervous when she met Allison.
"Why are you here?" Allison was surprised too. Even though she knew something was going on
between Luke and Luca, she did not expect she would move in here.
She was living with the kids too.
Previously, Lanie and Rainie would be unhappy with any woman who tried to seduce Luke regardless
of whether they seeded or not. Luke would not let those women get what they wanted either.
Then, Biana showed up...
Now, however, Lanie and Rainie did not mention anything about this. Tommy was even so close to her.
It seemed like they had epted Luca.
Allison thought it was unbelievable. She narrowed her eyes and mumbled to herself, wondering what
spell Luca had cast on Luke and the three kids.
“Good morning, Grandma." Before Luca could answer, Tommy gave a witty response and greeted
Allison. Then, he changed the subject of conversation, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"I came to see you. Come here, Tommy. Come to me." Allison shifted her gaze away from Luca. No
matter what, she would like to seize the chance to build a good rtionship with the kids when she had
the chance.
Tommy was reluctant to go closer to Allison, but he knew Allison would throw a tantrum at Luca if he
refused to do so.
Tommy had no choice but to let go of Luca''s hand. He bit the bullet and walked toward her. "Grandma,
what''s the matter?"
"I heard you saying that you want to have cookies, right? I remember that I bought you some cookies
last time. Tommy, why don''t you try them? The snacks I bought for you are expensive, and they taste
good too." Allison held his hand, trying to tell the kids that she was kind.
No one would have expected that right after she said that, Tommy would pull his hand back and take a
step back.
Allison looked at him in surprise. "What''s wrong?"
"Grandma, the snacks sold outside contain a lot of additives. They''re bad for the children''s health.
That''s why we only eat the cookies Ms. Luca bakes." Tommy turned around and shot a nce at Luca.
She was still standing at the stairs, and she seemed to be at a loss when she was facing Allison.
"How can that be? The snacks are imported. Children can eat them." Allison secretly mumbled and
wondered if the child had fallen under Luca''s spell.
"I think Ms. Luca''s homemade cookies taste better," Tommy insisted.
Luca felt helpless listening to what the child said.

This child was helping her but putting her into a different mess.
Luca wanted to tell Tommy to stop talking.
Allison was a person who got jealous easily. If Tommy said the cookies she bought did not taste good,
it might make her explode with anger.
Sure enough, the look on Allison''s face turned awful when she heard what Tommy said. She could not
help but refute, "So what if it tastes better? Who knows if she added anything to the cookies to make
them tastier? She knows so much about medicine. She might have drugged you without your
knowledge!"
