    Chapter 3322 Taking The Kids To nt Some Herbs


    Luke had always admired his grandfather''s past as a child.


    Old Master Crawford would speak of everything regarding Crawford Manor and mention taking him to do various things, but in the end, it all came to nothing because he was too busy. After repeated dys in their ns, Luke had stopped expecting much from those promises.


    However, when Old Master Crawford suddenly set up a greenhouse at home and began growing medicinal herbs, Luke found himself intrigued.


    He pushed open the greenhouse door and stepped inside with his grandfather. Immediately, the fragrant scent of the herbs filled the air, and Luke could not help but feel refreshed.


    Luca heard the noises and turned around to look at them. Then, she smiled and asked, "Old Master Crawford, Luke, what brings you two here?"


    "I heard you were here, so I came over. Luca, let me show you my treasures!" Old Master Crawford replied cheerfully. He relied on a cane to walk, but he was excited when it came to this greenhouse. He had clearly invested time and effort into caring for these herbs.


    "Old Master Crawford, these herbs look fantastic! They''re even better than those grown by the professional farmers,"plimented Luca while admiring the well-managed nts. Even though there were not many of them, each one was being carefully tended to.


    When it was time to harvest, they would all be top-quality herbs.


    Luca walked over. With Luke on one side and her on the other, they supported Old Master Crawford while listening to his detailed exnations about each herb''s growing habits and other rted information.


    It was clear he had put a lot of effort into this.


    After they had strolled around for a bit, the three kids also came in.


    "Great-Grandpa, can we learn how to grow herbs with you?" The kids circled around him.


    They seemed genuinely interested in gardening.


    "Of course." Old Master Crawford nced at a vacant patch in the corner of the greenhouse, Originally, he had nned to nt thereter, but with the kids so eager to learn, he decided to take them over to that spot and get started right away.


    While it looked like they were just ying around, the kids listened carefully as Old Master Crawford exined the nting techniques.


    Luca and Luke stood by, watching the heartwarming scene of the kids with their grandfather. They both smiled at the sight.


    Under Old Master Crawford''s guidance, the kids thoroughly enjoyed their time.


    It was not until the maid came over to remind them that dinner was ready that they reluctantly wrapped up their gardening session.


    Luca looked at the neatly nted row of herb seedlings and then turned to Luke. "The kids weren''t just causing trouble. Look how good of a job they did. Isn''t it great?"


    Luke nodded in agreement, and they all left together. When they entered the living room, they noticed Susan had alsoe.


    "What brings you here?" Old Master Crawford''s mood soured when he saw Susan.


    Susan shot a nce at Luke and Luca, who were beside him, and felt a wave of resentment. It was fine for them toe, but not her?


    Old Master Crawford was clearly biased!


    Suppressing her displeasure, Susan replied to Old Master Crawford, "Father, it''s the weekend. Ie back to have dinner with you whenever I can. Is that a problem?"


    Old Master Crawford was left speechless. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with it. Susan usually came back on weekends to have meals with him, showing her respect.


    However, Old Master Crawford could not appreciate her efforts.


    Every time Susan came home, she made a huge mess, making it impossible for him to see the good in it.


    Without responding, Old Master Crawford turned to Mr. Griffin and said, "Get dinner ready."


    "Of course." Mr. Griffin nodded and went to the kitchen to give his instructions.


    Old Master Crawford nced at Susan and added, "Let''s head to the dining room."


    Then, he leaned on his cane and walked toward the dining room.


    Luke looked down at the three kids and reminded them, "Make sure to say hello to your Grandma Susan."


    "Good evening, Grandma Susan!" the three kids chimed in unison.


    Susan shot back with sarcasm, "Looks like living away from Crawford Manor means the kids don''t even recognize their elders anymore. You need to be reminded just to greet someone?"


    Luca''s expression soured.


    While the kids might have been a little slow to greet her, it was not intentional.


    They had just found out that Susan was in the living room, and the adults had been talking. They did not have the chance to say hello, did they?


    Hearing Susan speak about her kids like that made Luca ufortable. If her kids had truly done something wrong, she would not mind a critique.


    In this case, they had not done anything wrong, and this was not a big deal. However, Susan just kept going on and on about it.


    "They didn''t do anything wrong," Luke interjected. "They just didn''t have the chance to greet you. If you''re not satisfied, they can say hello to you again."


    He noticed Luca''s displeasure and felt the need to defend the kids. They really had not done anything wrong. There was no need for them to be reprimanded like that.


    Susan''s expression darkened. She scoffed. "Luke, even if you''re right that the kids didn''t do anything wrong, how could you let them get all dirty? Is that mud on them? What are they going to do at the dinner table, eat dirt? "You''ve got perfectly good kids, but you insist on letting some other woman take care of them. They''re getting all dirty and crawling with germs. If the kids get sick, it''s going to be bad for their health," continued Susan, indirectly criticizing Luca for not knowing how to raise children.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "What''s wrong with me taking the kids to nt some herbs?" Old Master Crawford suddenly came out of the dining room, having overheard her.


    "Father?" Susan was taken aback for a moment, only then noticing that there was dirt on Old Master Crawford''s clothes as well.


    So, it was not Luca leading the kids into mischief. It was Old Master Crawford who had taken them along!


    Susan felt like the world had turned upside down.


    How could such a serious man like him run around and get dirty with the kids?


    Susan dared not say anything further and simply replied, "I just think it''s not good for them to be so dirty. Germs can be harmful, and young kids need to pay more attention to hygiene.*


    "All the herbs in my greenhouse are for healing, so there''s no way they have germs. Besides, kids should spend more time in nature. It''s good for their health. As for being dirty.."


    Old Master Crawford''s expression was serious as he looked at the dirt on the kids, clearly unconcemed. "They''re not eating their clothes. They''re having dinner. A little dirt won''t hurt as long as they wash their hands."


    Lanie smartly chimed in, "Grandpa, I''m taking Tommy and Rainie to wash their hands."


    "Go ahead." Old Master Crawford nodded.


    "I''ll check on them." Luca was worried they might not wash up properly and followed them into the bathroom.


    Susan let out a cold sneer.


    Old Master Crawford warned, "If you keep causing a scene, don''t bothering back on weekends. Just show up for family gatherings and holidays when you feel like it."


    Susan''s expression tightened at this warning. She felt a simmering discontent deep down inside her, but she did not dare to say anything.
