    Chapter 3338 How Can He Possibly Bring Luca To Crawford Manor


    On the other hand, Allison could not sleep, so she got up early.


    She first checked the master bedroom, noticing that Luke and Luca were already up. Thinking of her own matters, she quickly headed downstairs.


    When she came to the living room, she found Aunt Neile tidying up and asked, "Aunt Neile, where''s Luca?"


    "Ms. Craw is already off to work," replied Aunt Neile. She could not help but flinch slightly when she looked at Allison''s face, but she quickly tried to hide her reaction, not wanting to offend Allison.


    "Already at work?" Allison''s voice rose a little. "Isn''t that a bit early?"


    "Madam Allison, it''s almost 9:00 am. It''s not that early," Aunt Neile pointed out, noting that most people were already at work at this hour. Luca was probably settled in at thepany by now.


    "Isn''t 9:00 am early?" questioned Allison. "Isn''t she working at Luke''spany? Why would she have to clock in on time?"


    Aunt Nelle finally understood what she meant.


    Allison was clearly expecting that Luca, given her connection to Luke, would have special privileges toe inter if she wanted.


    Aunt Neille caught on. "Ms. Craw hasn''t used any special privileges. She has always worked normal hours."


    Allison gave a skepticalugh, clearly not believing it.


    "What time does she usually get home?" asked Allison. It was about her face, and she was desperate to talk to Luca about it right away.


    If she did not have to avoid going outside and staying out of the sun, she would already be storming into Luca''s office to get her to agree.


    "Around 6:00 pm," answered Aunt Neile, then she asked, "Madam Allison, do you need something from Ms. Craw?"


    "Why else would I be looking for her?" Allison rolled her eyes, wincing as it pulled on a tender patch of skin on her face.


    Aunt Nelle remembered that Luca and Luke were going to Crawford Manor for dinner tonight and would not be back so soon. She hesitated about whether to tell Allison.


    However, after a brief pause and seeing the dark, brooding look on Allison''s face, she decided against it.


    If Allison found out they were going to Crawford Manor together, she might insist on tagging along.


    This would mean that a pleasant family dinner would turn sour.


    Allison had plenty of excuses to go to Crawford Manor.


    Hence, Aunt Neile felt it was best not to tell her. After all, Luke had sent the kids back to Crawford Manor specifically to keep them away from Allison.


    "Would you like some breakfast now, Madam Allison?" asked Aunt Neile.


    "Obviously! I got up early. Do you want me to starve?" Allison snapped as she walked to the dining room.


    Aunt Neile put down her cleaning supplies and went to the kitchen to bring out Allison''s breakfast.


    Allison frowned as soon as she saw it. "Why was it ready so fast?"


    "I prepared it early just for you," exined Aunt Neile.


    "I need to eat fresh food with my health the way it is!" Allison looked at the te but did not touch it.


    Aunt Neile assured her, "it is fresh. I made it this moming."


    "You don''t understand, do you?" Allison rose to her feet. She was half a head taller than Aunt Neile. Her expression was cold and menacing as she said, "I want it made on the spot. Anything over an hour old isn''t fresh to me. My face can''t handle stale food. Make it again."


    When Allison''s deeply wrinkled face appeared before her, Aunt Nelle could not help but startle for a moment. She quickly nodded and replied, "Alright, I''ll make it right now.


    Carrying the breakfast that Allison deemed "not fresh", Aunt Neile hurried back to the kitchen and prepared a new te for her.


    Allison barely took a couple of bites beforeining, "It''s too nd. Don''t make it so in next time."


    "But, ma''am, the doctor says you need a mild diet," Aunt Neile reminded her.


    "When I say it''s nd, it''s nd. Are you arguing with me now?" Allison snapped, clearly annoyed.


    Aunt Neile did not dare to argue further and just nodded repeatedly, assuring Allison that she would be more mindful next time.


    However, Allison was still annoyed. "I really don''t understand what Luke was thinking, hiring you as the maid here. You''re so ipetent. It''d be better to rece you with someone smarter and quicker."


    A sudden idea crossed her mind.


    Aunt Neile stayed silent.


    She knew Allison did not actually have the authority to fire her. Besides, she knew she had been performing her duties well, and Luke had not shown any dissatisfaction with her work, so she was not worried about losing her job.


    Still, it stung a little to hear her efforts dismissed so casually.


    Allison continued, "I''ll have to talk to Luke about recing you."


    Then, she turned and left.


    Aunt Neile let out a sigh, quietly clearing the dishes from the table and washing them. carefully before disinfecting everything once more.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Luke had instructed her to do so.


    He insisted that anything Allison used must be disinfected-especially when it came to food. It was because of his obsessive cleanliness.


    Luke specifically instructed Aunt Neile to use the same set of kitchenware when preparing meals for Allison. Aunt Neile marked the set to ensure there was no mix-up.


    In the evening, Allison sat in the living room, waiting for Luca to return.


    As the time approached 6:30 pm and there was still no sign of Luce, she grew impatient and tumed to Aunt Neile. "Didn''t you say Luca usually finishes work around 6:00 pm? It''s already 6:30 pm. Were you lying to me?"


    Aunt Neile, a little tense, finally told her, "Mr. Crawford called this afternoon to say they''d be having dinner at Crawford Manor tonight and wouldn''t be home."


    "He''s noting back for dinner, but what does that have to do with Luca..." Allison''s words suddenly trailed off.


    Then, her voice rose sharply. "You mean, Luke took Luca to Crawford Manor?"


    "Yes, ma''am. They''ll be back a bitter." Aunt Neile stepped back slightly to brace against


    Allison''s shrill tone.


    Allison''s voice was so loud!


    "How could he possibly bring Luca to Crawford Manor?!" eximed Allison, remembering how, even during the New Year''s holiday, Luke had not brought Luca there.


    Now, he was actually bringing her to have dinner there? Did that mean Old Master Crawford had acknowledged Luca''s status?


    Old Master Crawford had always been strict, never allowing his grandson to follow in Zachary''s footsteps and fool around outside. How did Luke convince him to ept Luca?


    "You''re lying to me, aren''t you?" Allison immediately suspected that Aunt Neile was making this up


    Aunt Neile quickly shook her head. "Ma''am, I wouldn''t dare lie to you. Mr. Crawford really did take Ms. Craw to Crawford Manor for dinner."


    "Has Old Master Crawford acknowledged her?" Allison''s eyes went wide, though with the lines and sagging skin around them, her expression was more frightening than surprised.


    No matter how wide her eyes opened, they just did not look big.


    "I suppose so..." replied Aunt Neile. After all, if Old Master Crawford had not epted Luca, she would not being and going freely at Crawford Manor, Aunt Neile recalled the warm, gentle smile on the old man''s face whenever he saw Luca.
