Louis never thought that Susan would really open the gifts in front of Luke!
"Mom, that's enough. We just moved into our new home today. Please don't make things look ugly." Louis stepped
forward and pressed down the art knife that she held in her hand.
"What are you doing? He agreed to this. Why are you against it?" Susan pushed his hand away and mercilessly cut
the wrapping paper.
Louis's face turned live with rage.
He disagreed with the idea of registering the gifts and displaying them in the first place, but there was no way he
could talk Susan out of it. Louis reluctantly agreed to it only when Susan promised that she would not register or
open the gifts in front of the guests.
After Susan cut the wrapping paper, she opened the gift box and looked at the exquisite decorations. It was an
affordable luxury style, and it was from a good brand.
Still, Susan curled her lips and asked, "It looks beautiful, but women at my age don't really like this style."
Luca tightened her fists. It was the decoration she prepared for Louis' new home. Even though it was not made of
gold, it cost her a fortune.
However, the look on Susan's face was full of disdain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke looked at the bag and said, "There's more than that."
Susan gave a cold snort as she thought that Luke would never think of giving her gold. It turned out she might be
able to pick on him today.
Hence, Susan picked up another gift and held it in her hands. She could not help but mutter, "This is heavy.”
"Mom, cut it out." There was anger in Louis' voice. He could no longer tolerate Susan's rude behavior.
Susan ignored what Louis said to her and opened the gift.
Luca noticed the wrapping paper of the gift. It was not a gift she bought.
Then, Luca looked up and glanced at Luke's side profile. Did Luke prepare it?
That was why Luke let Susan do as she pleased when she was nitpicking about the gifts. It seemed that he saw this
coming and prepared in advance.
When Luca was admiring Luke for being thoughtful, she also blamed herself for not being attentive enough. If it
were not for Luke's good preparation, he would have lost face today.
Susan opened the gift box and found a golden ornament shaped like a pine tree.
Even though it was not the type of decoration that young people nowadays would like, it looked magnificent when
the ornament was placed in the house.
To put it in her own words, it made her look rich enough when it was displayed in the house.
Susan was stunned for a moment when she looked at the pine tree ornament. She did not expect Luke to actually
prepare something like this in advance.
Previously, a senior employee of the company praised Luke in front of Old Master Crawford. He said Luke was
detail-oriented, and he was good at foreseeing something ahead of time before it happened. The way he did things
was impeccable.
Susan had secretly scoffed when she heard the exaggeration. There was no way someone could have such
prescience.
She believed that the person was simply trying to side with Luke. That was why he complimented him.
Susan put up a tough front and said, "The pine tree looks impressive. I wonder if it's gold-plated. Many gold-plated
ornaments on the market are worthless these days."
"There's a certificate in the bag." Luke reminded her. He had personally chosen it with Jason. It was made of pure
gold.
Susan took the certificate out and glanced at it. It was indeed a pine tree made of pure gold.
She could not find any other faults with it.
Susan sneered and immediately left with the pine tree ornament in her hand.
Susan's behavior had put a sulky expression on Louis' face. He looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry, Luke."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's okay." Luke shook his head. Louis had nothing to do with this. "Has Grandpa arrived?"
"He's in the backyard,” replied Louis. Fortunately, Old Master Crawford was in the backyard. He would have been
angry if he saw what Susan did.
However, Susan would not dare to deliberately make things difficult for Luke if the old master was here.
"I have something to tell Grandpa. Let me talk to him first." Luke turned to look at Luca and told her. He was talking
to her.
"Okay." Luca nodded.
After Luke left, Louis looked at her and said, "Dr. Craw, would you like me to show you around?" Luca initially
wanted to agree with him, but she smiled and rejected him at the thought of Susan's behavior. "Master Louis, you
can leave me here. I'll sit with the children."
She pointed at the pavilion nearby.
"Okay. Food and drinks are served in the living room. Just head to the living room if you're thirsty or hungry. We'll
start the barbecue when all of the guests have arrived," said Louis. He had hired chefs to cook for the guests.
"Okay," replied Luca as she led the three kids to the pavilion. After they sat down, she noticed how quiet the kids
were and touched each of their heads. Then, she asked, "What's in your mind?" "Ms. Luca, is it rude to open gifts in
front of others?" asked Rainie. She was curious when she saw what Susan did just now.
"Yes." Luca nodded. She knew why the child asked such a question, but she did not want to give them the wrong
impression just to protect Susan's reputation.
