Louis nodded. It was fine as long as Old Master Crawford came back on the second day of the new year.
After all, many would be visiting. All of them wanted to build a good relationship to obtain corresponding benefits in
T Corporation.
Since Luke was not at Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford had to be there.
After about five minutes, Old Master Crawford walked slowly to the living room with the help of his cane. The butler
stood beside him and carried a travel bag containing Old Master Crawford's clothes and other personal items.
"Did you pack everything?" Luke asked the butler.
The butler nodded and replied, "Yes, I got everything."
"I don’t need a lot of things. After all, I’m only spending a night there. I’ll be back the next day. Nothing to worry
about," Old Master Crawford said. He did not think that they needed to prepare everything.
"Great-grandpa, let's go." Rainie stepped forward and grabbed Old Master Crawford's free hand.
"Okay, let's go." Old Master Crawford smiled. He felt much better.
Louis sent them off and sat on the sofa. No guests would visit that day, and he felt relaxed since the customary
ceremonies had been completed as well.
Susan went downstairs and saw that Louis was the only one in the living room, so she asked, "Where's your
grandfather? Is he in the study?"
"Grandpa went to Luke's place," Louis replied casually while he watched the news.
"He went to Luke's house?" Susan raised her voice in surprise and walked to his side. "Why didn't you stop him?"
Louis could not watch the TV as she was blocking it. He moved and replied, "Why should I stop him? Grandpa wants
to have a change in environment to improve his mood for the new year. What's the problem?"
"You..." Susan could not help but throw a tantrum when she saw how calm he was. "You should stop him! He’s going
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto Luke's place on such an important day. Isn’t he making it clear that he doesn’t like us and that’s why he’s going
there? I originally planned to find some business for your stupid studio during the new year. Now, everyone will be
going to Luke’s side! Since you don’t want to put up a fight, you can go to the streets to eat dust.”
Old Master Crawford wanted to spend some time with Luke. It was normal no matter how many days he wanted to
stay at Luke's place.
Susan's reaction was dramatic. He did not think that it would make a difference even if those potential partners
went to Luke's place because Old Master Crawford was there and did not visit Crawford Manor for the new year.
After all, it was T Corporation who picked the partner, not them who picked T Corporation.
"What is in your head? It's fine if you don't live up to my expectations on a normal day, but you didn't even seize
this opportunity during the new year. Why do I have a son like you?"
Louis stood up. He was more than a head taller than her. He said impatiently, "Grandpa will be at Luke's house for
one day and will come back tomorrow. Even if he lives there for a whole year, so what? What reason do I have to
stop him?"
After he said that, he turned around to go upstairs.
His New Year's started unpleasantly.
Susan stood there, baffled. ‘Old Master Crawford is just going there to stay for a day?'
She did not believe it and thought that Luke lied because he wanted to curry favor with Old Master Crawford so he
would be able to get more benefits in the future.
The butler returned after he walked Old Master Crawford to the car.
He had been standing at the entrance where he overheard Susan and Louis' conversation. He did not walk in to
avoid the awkwardness. He only stepped in after they were done fighting.
Susan looked at the butler and asked with a frown, "You didn't go with him?"
"Madam Susan, Old Master Crawford will only be there for a day, so he didn't ask me to follow," the butler said.
Susan's heart felt a little more settled when she heard what he said. 'Since he didn't bring along the butler, it seems
that Old Master Crawford won't stay with Luke for a long time.'
"Why did Old Master Crawford suddenly decide to stay with him for a day?" She still wanted to know why.
The butler said, "Old Master Crawford made the decision. I..."
"There's no reason to hide this from me. Tell me." Susan did not intend to let the butler go easily. She wanted to
know the reason why Old Master Crawford made such a decision.
After all, Old Master Crawford did mention that he wanted Louis, Yuri, and Thea to move to the newly renovated
villa after the new year.
He also asked for Susan to move in with them.
If she did not want to, he would move out and have her live alone in Crawford Manor.
Susan had such a big reaction because she was worried that Old Master Crawford would not come back after he
went to Luke's villa.
"Cough, cough..." The butler cleared his throat. He had no choice but to inform her of the reason why Old Master
Crawford went there. "Old Master Crawford mentioned that Ms. Craw's cooking is wonderful and he misses it very
much. He's staying for one day so he can have three meals prepared by Ms. Craw before he comes back.”
"Ms. Craw's cooking is delicious." The butler nodded and repeated Old Master Crawford's words.
Susan snorted and replied, "Why didn't I know that Old Master Crawford was a glutton?"
The butler wanted to reply that there were many things she did not know. After all, she, the daughter-inlaw, did not
even know what Old Master Crawford liked to eat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he could not say that no matter how much he wanted to, so he just said, "Old Master Crawford loves
good food. He was too busy when he was young and didn't have much time to eat, so it's not as obvious."
Susan snorted coldly. She was still suspicious. "Tomorrow, make sure you remember to pick up Old Master Crawford
yourself. If he doesn't come back, tell him that many guests are waiting for him at home."
"Okay, Madam Susan," the butler replied. He could tell that she was afraid that Old Master Crawford would not
come back.
Even if she did not remind him, Old Master Crawford would surely be back tomorrow.
He liked living with Luke and the others, but if those guests knew that he was there, they would flock there. It would
only cause trouble for Luke.
Old Master Crawford would not do that to them.
Susan thought that he was annoying and scolded him, "I'm the legal wife of Zachary. Call me Madam Crawford!"
The butler was taken back. He did not take too much notice of such details as Allison had just left. "Sorry, Madam
Crawford," he said quickly.
When she heard him call her 'Madam Crawford', Susan felt a little better and left.
On the other hand...
Allison, who had just been driven back to the villa by the Crawfords' chauffeur, received a message from a maid at
Crawford Manor.
She told her that Luke went home after she left and Old Master Crawford went to his place to spend the new year
together.
Allison frowned. Since Luke and Old Master Crawford were not there, it would be Susan's world over at Crawford
Manor!
If that was the case, she should have lingered until Old Master Crawford and Luke left so she would not have to
come back here for the new year.
"I was sloppy," Allison whispered and gripped her phone tightly.
