Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2147

The following day.

Susan yawned while making her way down the stairs. She could not sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. The heat in her body went away not long ago. She wanted to rest more but did not feel like sleeping anymore, so she thought of getting up and keeping an eye on Luke and Luca.

“Good morning, Madam Crawford.” Mr. Griffin noticed how pale Susan was, and he understood why she was looking pale.

Susan must have had a hard time trying to fall asleep last night. After all, she took the medicine that the old master had asked someone to prescribe. Even though she was a middle-aged woman, it was hard to resist the effects of the medicine.

“Is breakfast ready?” Susan asked.

“Mrs. Nancy is still on it,” Mr. Griffin lowered his head and answered.

Susan complained, “She’s still making breakfast? What’s wrong with her working efficiency?”

Mr. Griffin glanced at the time, lowered his head, and replied respectfully, "Madam Crawford, Mrs. Nancy didn't know you'd be waking up this early today."

He did not tell her that it was still early in the morning. If Susan heard him saying this, she would point at him and say that it was just an excuse to slack off.

Susan sneered. There was only Mr. Griffin and her in the living room. It looked like the other maids had not come to work yet.

She had indeed woken up early today, but she would not allow that to be a reason. She said, “Ask Mrs. Nancy to speed up and prepare breakfast earlier next time.”

“Yes,” replied Mr. Griffin. Although he agreed with her, he was not planning to listen to her instructions.

The time to prepare breakfast in Crawford Manor was usually based on Old Master Crawford's routine. He was normally the earliest to wake up, after all. Breakfast would be served just in time after the old master woke up. This was to ensure the breakfast was freshly made and would not go cold.

Susan had no choice but to sit on the sofa while waiting for breakfast to be served. When Mr. Griffin was about to do his work, he heard Susan ask him, “Did anything happen in Crawford Manor last night?”

“What do you mean?” Mr. Griffin paused and turned around to face her respectfully.

Susan frowned as she secretly scolded him for being ignorant. She had no choice but to make it clearer. “I mean the person who spent the night here… Did anything happen to her?”

"Madam Crawford, you know that I'm not allowed to head upstairs to disturb anyone at nighttime if I’m not required" answered Mr. Griffin. He was dropping a hint that there was no way he would know what had happened last night.

He would not go upstairs unless his master allowed him to

“A stranger had spent the night here. You should’ve kept an eye on her. You’ve failed as a butler.” Susan was dissatisfied with his answer, and she thought Mr. Griffin should have watched over Luca.

Mr. Griffin felt helpless. He knew that Susan was picking on Luca, but he did not know what Luca had done wrong to receive such treatment.

Perhaps Old Master Crawford was very fond of her, and their young master had feelings for Luca, that was why Susan was behaving like this.

The old master invited Luca to spend the night here, and he even arranged a room for her upstairs. That indicated that he trusted Luca very much.

Susan was not allowed to touch those who had the old master’s trust.

"Even though the old master asked her to stay here, you should be careful. Isn't that one of the butler's responsibilities?" Susan found herself another excuse to vent her anger on Mr. Griffin after bottling everything up and not getting enough sleep the whole night.

Mr. Griffin glanced at the time and replied helplessly, “Madam Crawford, Old Master Crawford will be awake soon. I’m heading to his room to help him freshen up.”

Susan watched Mr. Griffin leave from behind. She was so furious that she grasped the material of the leather sofa tightly. The butler of the Crawford family did not take her seriously!

It took a while before she loosened her grip, which left the material of the sofa all wrinkled.

Susan secretly swore that the first thing she would do after Old Master Crawford passed away was to fire Mr. Griffin.

An hour later.

Luca and Luke made their way down the stairs.
