    Chapter 3332 It''s Not Something He Or Luca Are Thrilled About Either


    Luke drove the car into the vi and parked it in the lot.


    Allison got out and looked at the vi, eximing, "This ce is a far cry from Crawford Manor,"


    "A five-star hotel is luxurious enough," Luke replied nonchntly.


    Allison fell silent.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    A five-star hotel was indeed luxurious and offered more freedom, but Luke would only cover the room cost. She could not afford any additional expenses.


    When the car came to a stop, Luca walked out with Aunt Neile.


    "Madam Allison, you''re back," Aunt Neile greeted Allison with a warm smile, aware that she had undergone a transformation and prepared to keep her surprise in check.


    Despite Allison''s covered face, it was quite bizarre o see her so bundled up in the sweltering summer heat.


    Luca also greeted her, "Madam Allison."


    Allison let out a cold snort and said to both of them, "Help me carry my luggage."


    "Sure." Aunt Neile walked to the trunk and pulled out Allison''s threerge suitcases.


    Seeing the three suitcases, Luca hurried to help.


    "Be careful with my things while you carry them," warned Allison.


    "Of course," Aunt Neile replied.


    However, Luke looked displeased. He took the suitcase from Luca''s hands and roughly dragged it along the cobblestone path.


    "Hey, be careful! That''s my Hermès suitcase!" Allison cried out, watching in dismay as the suitcase wheels bounced and jostled over the stones.


    Luke acted as if he had not heard her and continued walking.


    Luca pursed her lips, holding back a smile. Luke was taking out his frustrations for her!


    Luca did not say anything as she did not want to appear too smug in front of Allison. She took one of the suitcases from Aunt Neile and carried it inside.


    Her identity was still under wraps, so she dared not to drag the suitcase like Luke did. She could only carry it.


    "Hey, easy there, Luke!" Allison followed behind him, worried. She wished she could snatch her suitcase back.


    However, with his long legs, she could not keep up. All she could do was shout reminders


    and nce back to check if Luca and Aunt Neile were cking off or mistreating her other suitcases.


    Luca and Aunt Neile knew the two suitcases were expensive, so they carried them over the cobblestones.


    Allison''s suitcases were stuffed to the brim.


    Luca frowned. This suitcase was indeed heavy. Luckily, she had trained with weights on the Ind of Despair, so this was nothing for her.


    She nced back at Aunt Neile, unsure if her suitcase was heavy. "Aunt Neile, is your suitcase heavy? If it is, wait for me. I''ll drop this off in the living room ande back for it."


    Aunt Neile felt it was heavy but could manage. She smiled and shook her head. "Ms. Craw, it''s fine. I think I can handle it."


    "Tsk, they''re manualborers. They should have decent strength for lifting things," Allison muttered under her breath.


    Luca felt a pang of difort hearing this.


    Aunt Neile worked for them, but she was a maid, not a mover.


    Allison''s suitcases were each heavier than thest, and she kept talking without even lifting


    one.


    Thinking back to how Allison had treated her in the past, Luca felt a surge of dissatisfaction. However, out of respect for Luke, she held her tongue.


    Luca carried the suitcase inside. Once she reached the living room, she set it down with a sigh of relief.


    Aunt Neile trailed behind, and when Allison saw her enter, she warned, "That suitcase is expensive too. Be careful when you set it down. If you damage it, your sry for a month won''t cover it!"


    Aunt Neile acknowledged her and gently ced the suitcase down.


    Allison let out a soft huff.


    Luca noticed Aunt Neile rubbing her lower back and leaned in to ask with concern, "Aunt Neile, did you pull your back?"


    "It''s nothing," Aunt Neile replied with a helpless smile. For someone her age, the suitcase was indeed heavy.


    It was especially since she could not drag it and had to carry it instead. She identally strained her back earlier.


    "Don''t rush offter. Let me take a look at it," offered Luca. She knew how to handle a pulled back.


    "Thank you, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile replied with a grateful smile.


    Allison overheard their conversation and snorted. "Do you really think she''s capable?"


    Luca was rendered speechless...


    Allison added when she noticed Luca did not respond, "Just look at her. She can''t even fix my face. How skilled can she really be? You''d be better off not letting her mess with your back. One wrong move, and you''ll end up in worse shape with no one to turn to."


    Aunt Neile could not defend Luca in front of Allison, so she just smiled awkwardly and shot Luca a look, indicating she should not take it to heart.


    Luca shook her head, signaling that she did not mind.


    "What''s in all those bags?" Seeing her targeting Luca again, Luke looked displeased and questioned her.


    "Nothing much, just some clothes," Allison lied. Remembering she had entered the house without seeing the kids, she asked, "Where are my precious grandchildren?"


    "They''re at Crawford Manor," replied Luke.


    "What?" Allison''s voice sharpened a bit. "You know I''ming back today. Why did you send them to Crawford Manor? I''d like to see them, and you won''t even let me!"


    "Do you really want to see them?" Luke asked expressionlessly.


    When Allison was in Seoul, she hardly spoke to him about anything other than money. If she really missed the kids, she would have asked about them when she asked for cash. However, she had not said a word about her grandchildren and showed no concern at all. So now, with her exaggerated tone, Luke refused to believe she was sincere. Allison felt a twinge of guilt. "Of course, I''d like to see them. I''m their grandmother!"


    "If you really missed them, howe you didn''t ask about them even once in the past six months?" Without holding back, Luke exposed her bluntly before heading upstairs, carrying


    a suitcase.


    "Uh, I was just really stressed at that time." Allison quickly followed. "When are you


    bringing them


    back?"


    "What for? Given your current situation, do you think it''s appropriate for you to see them?" Luke''s tone was calm. There was not a hint of contempt in his voice; it was just a gentle


    reminder.


    Allison was taken aback for a moment, feeling her dignity was being disregarded by her son.


    "Even if it''s not suitable, they''re still my grandchildren!"


    "If you''re going to cause a scene, go do it at a hotel or another vi. I prefer peace and quiet here, not chaos," replied Luke, unwilling to engage in her convoluted arguments.


    What she wanted or did not want was irrelevant.


    He and Luca both understood that sending the kids to Crawford Manor for a while was for


    their own good.


    Besides, summer vacation was just around the corner.


    With summer breaking up, not having the kids around was not something he or Luca,


    as parents, were thrilled about either.
