Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2316

Luca could not help but chuckle at the thought.

Luke was very busy, so she waited patiently for all the guests to leave. Once he was done, Luke walked over to her.

Beside him, Susan was sporting a huge frown on her face.

Her expression was filled with distaste when she watched Luke’s retreating figure.

“Mother, I’ll go and pay the hotel the rest of the fees.” Louis watched the guests leave and decided to pay the outstanding figure.

“All you have in mind is matters like this. You’re really going to infuriate me to death one day.” Susan looked at him with disappointment.

Louis had also stood at the door to wave the guests off, but there were considerably fewer people who wanted to talk to Louis than those who wanted to talk to Luke. In fact, Louis’ presence at the door did not seem to make any difference at all, since everyone only wanted to talk to Luke.

Her birthday celebration had easily become Luke’s banquet.

Louis saw how Old Master Crawford was still within earshot and whispered, “Why are you angry again, Mother?”

He did not understand what his mother was dissatisfied with considering everything had already gone according to her standards.

“Can you not tell why I’m angry? You’re both Crawfords, yet Luke’s the one being surrounded by everyone else. What about you, hmm? Today is my birthday, not Allison’s birthday!” Susan was disappointed at the fact that Louis did not even show the desire to mingle when the crowd swarmed Luke. Instead, her son continued to wave the other guests off with a smile.

She did not understand why her son was so hopeless in comparison.

Louis was no stranger to comments like this. He usually responded with a smile and some consolation.

However, hearing Susan complain again today ignited and flamed the annoyance within him.

In truth, he knew that there was no comparing himself to Luke.

Louis understood why so many people liked talking to Luke. After all, it was only normal for people to want more profit-making opportunities.

As such, Louis had never gotten envious of Luke.

He knew he could not manage a business as big as T Corporation, especially not when the company was only getting busier each year.

However, Louis was also braver than Luke in the sense that he dared to chase after his dreams. As such, Louis had always seen himself as someone who lived a happier life than Luke since he could do what he wanted to do.

The life he lived was an easy and carefree one. Sure, there were occasionally some obstacles and difficulties, but having the support of the Crawford family made it so that even if his business failed, he would still be the respected second master of the Crawford family instead of a bankrupt man with nothing to his name.

He liked the life he was living.

However, Susan kept seeing his disinterest in the family business as hopelessness. He had already arranged the birthday celebration for her according to her requests, yet she still picked on him.

Louis found himself irked by her harsh words and wanted nothing more than to toss everything down and leave.

Yuri saw the shift in the expression on his face and summed up the courage to defend her husband. “Louis is already doing his best, Mother. Don’t get angry at him. Let Louis pay the hotel manager first and then we’ll go home, okay?”

Susan harrumphed, still displeased that Luke had stolen her limelight.
