"Hmph. I bet you were the one who gave Louis the idea to run away from home with his family. What


    were you thinking, Luke?" Susan was all riled up with her hands on her hips as she picked a fight with


    Luke


    Since she could not care less about her own image, Luke could not be bothered to show her any


    respect. “I provided Louis and his family the apartment."


    Susan pointed at him with a trembling finger. "So, it was you. How could you?"


    Then, Luke shot her a cold look and said, "If Louis wants to see you, he''ll call you. Otherwise, don''t


    even bother asking others where he is."


    "Okay, fine. If you''re not telling me, I''ll go to your grandfather tomorrow. All of you are turning into


    rebels!" Susan left quickly after that.


    If she stayed any longer, she would die from anger because of Luke and Luca.

    Luca frowned as she watched Susan leave. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Luke


    tell Aunt Neile, who just walked out of the kitchen, "Follow her and close the door behind her."


    "Yes, sir." Aunt Neile put down Luca''s bag and quickly went out to close the door.


    Then, Luca looked at Luke and asked, "Are things going to be okay?"


    "This is what Louis wants," said Luke.


    "How did he know..." Before Luca finished her sentence, she realized what was going on.


    After Aunt Neile slipped away to get her a bag, she went to the kitchen to inform Luke about this.


    Then, Luke asked Louis for his opinion.


    Louis wanted Luke to keep it from his mother. Whether or not the mother and son reconciled in the


    future, it had nothing to do with Luke.


    "Louis knows his mother too well. He knows that she hasn''t calmed down yet, so she''ll still ask him to


    sell hispany and return to T Corporation. She may seem calmer now, but it''s just a facade.


    "He doesn''t want to argue with her, so it''s still not time for them to meet," Luke exined Louis''


    intentions.


    It was to prevent the mother and son''s rtionship from getting worse.


    "Mrs. Crawford is going to resent you now." Luca was feeling dispirited. It was never a good idea to


    meddle in other people''s family business.


    However, as Louis''s brother, Luke could not ignore it.


    “It doesn''t matter. That''s not the only reason she resents me anyway." Luke did not care. Susan had


    always believed that he had stolen Louis'' inheritance. This reason alone was enough for Susan to hate


    him for the rest of his life.


    Thus, Luke was not fazed by it.


    Seeing as Luca was putting ss jars full of herbs into the bag, he went over to help her.


    Luca shook her head and said, "Why don''t you go upstairs and check on the kids? They all ran upstairs


    when they heard Mrs. Crawford was here. They should''ve finished their homework by now, so you can


    go check.


    "That way, they won''t have to bring their homework to the manor."


    "Alright, I''ll go have a look." Luke stood up.


    Luca put all the ss jars neatly into the bag. She never expected Susan to show up like this.


    Louis, who had always listened to Susan, was now making a stand against her.


    Aunt Neile quickly came back and said to Luca, "Ms. Craw, Mrs. Crawford has left."


    "Did she go back to the mansion next door?" Luca asked.


    "Yes, she was opening the door when I closed ours." Aunt Neile nodded. It was a good thing Luke


    knew Susan would not close the door, so he sent Aunt Neile to do so.


    Otherwise, the door would be wide open.


    The neighborhood was full of powerful people, and it was unlikely their neighbors would just walk into


    their house, but it was still not a good idea to leave the door open.


    "Aunt Neile, it''s almost time. You can go home now," said Luca.


    "Don''t I need to wait for Mrs. Mallory to return?" Aunt Neile asked.


    "No, she knows our password, so she cane in by herself. By the way, we''ll have breakfast at the


    manor, so you can just make breakfast for Mrs. Mallory. She usually likes sleeping in on her day off, so


    she''ll wake upte. It''s better to make something that''llst," Luca told her.


    "Okay." Aunt Neile nodded and took note of what she said, thinking to herself that Luca knew Nina very


    well.


    No wonder she could be with Luke.


    Luke and Percy were best friends, and Luca knew the daily habits of Percy''s wife in so much detail.


    Who else would Luke choose if not her?


    "You can go home now." Luca picked up the bag. It was much heavier now because of the ss jars.


    Then, she put it down carefully.


    After Aunt Neile left, Luke and the kids came downstairs.


    "Are we ready to go?" Luca asked.


    "Yes, we''ve finished our homework, so we can go now!" Lanie said.


    "Alright, let''s get going, then," said Luca. The kids were carrying small school bags, and she knew they


    were filled with extracurricr books.


    Although there were many children''s books at Crawford Manor, they did not want to start a new book.


    That was why they brought the ones they were currently reading.


    As for Luca and Luke, they only had a few things to bring apart from the bag of herbs.


    They had new clothes at the manor anyway. Although the clothes were prepared some time ago, Luca


    was not too concerned about the style as long as they fit her.


    "Let''s go." Tommy was excited. When he got downstairs, he tugged on Luca''s hand.


    “Wait, there''s something I have to get." Luca smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to pick


    up the bag on the coffee table, Luke picked it up with one hand.


    Luca smiled.


    Meanwhile, Tommy teased, “Ms. Luca, men should take care of these things, so don''t worry about it.


    Let''s go."


    Then, he took Luca''s hand and left.


    The five of them got into the car and headed to Crawford Manor.


    When they arrived, the sky was already getting dark. Luca nced at the time before she got out of the


    car, and it was almost half past seven...


    She could not help but say, “It''s already sote!"


    Then, she looked at Luke. If Susan had note over, she would have remembered to tell Old Master


    Crawford that they were going to bete and that he should not wait for them.


    Besides, dinner would have already ended at Crawford Manor by now.


    She even forgot about the children because of Susan, so she looked at them. “It''s sote. Are you


    hungry?"


    “We''re not hungry. We had some snacks when Grandma Susan came over," said Rainie. Although they


    were still little, they knew that it would bete by the time they got to the manor due to the disruption,


    so they had some snacks.


    “Me too," said Tommy.


    Luca looked at Luke. “I forgot to tell Old Master Crawford."


    “I told him. He said he''ll wait for us," said Luke as he helped Luca unbuckle her seatbelt before


    unbuckling his and stepping out of the car.
