Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2388

Old Master Crawford shook his head and said, “How boring. I guess I’ll have to wait for Luke to come over on New Year’s Eve to play chess with me.”

Mr. Griffin smiled. Luke was the only one in this family who could play chess with Old Master Crawford.

Old Master Crawford spoke again, “Give me my phone. I’d better figure out what the woman Allison brought back here is up to.”

"Old Master Crawford, wait a minute." Mr. Griffin headed to Old Master Crawford's bedroom, picked up his phone, and handed it to him.

Old Master Crawford called Luke.

After a while, Luke answered the call, “Grandpa, what’s the matter?”

“I heard that Allison brought someone else back with her? Isn’t she the interpreter you hired?” Old Master Crawford asked.

“The interpreter is still in Seoul. She’s not planning to come back.” Luke paused for a moment and said, “That woman is one of the personal nurses from the plastic surgery hospital.”

“Why did she bring a personal nurse back here?” Old Master Crawford could not understand why Allison did that.

“I’m not sure,” answered Luke. He confirmed the woman’s identity after he asked the interpreter in Seoul. She was the personal nurse who was close with Allison.

“Fine. I don’t want anything to do with her matters. You’re her son. Do as you see fit,” said Old Master Crawford. Although Allison was acting strangely, he had no interest in finding out about her matters.

“Okay,” replied Luke.

Old Master Crawford asked again, “Oh, will you come back here on New Year’s Eve?”

“Mr. Griffin has already informed me,” replied Luke.

"Ask Luca to come along too. She's alone here without any family or relatives. Bring her here so we can celebrate the new year together," said Old Master Crawford. Although Luca was not thinking of getting married to Luke yet, Old Master Crawford was very fond of her. That was why he thought of asking her to come along.

“I mentioned it to her. She rejected my offer.” Luke paused for a moment and said, “Let’s not ask her if she’s reluctant to go over. I don’t think New Year’s this year will be as good as the previous years either.”

Old Master Crawford thought what Luke said was true.

Even though Allison was staying at the small villa now, she would certainly come back on New Year’s Eve.

If Allison came back, Susan and she would be constantly arguing with each other.

It was wise of Luca to choose not to come over. Old Master Crawford understood that one should not air their dirty laundry in public. Luca had made the right choice.

"Fine. Remember to bring the kids along with you. It's been a long time since I saw my precious great-grandchildren," Old Master Crawford reminded him.

What he said happened to be heard by Susan, who was downstairs.

His precious great-grandchildren?

How dare he call Allison's grandchildren his precious great-grandchildren when Thea was nothing to him!

Susan secretly harbored resentment against Old Master Crawford. She pretended as though nothing happened, walked to the living room, and sat down.

Old Master Crawford ended the call with Luke and handed his phone to Mr. Griffin, signaling him to put it away. Then, he continued to look at the chessboard. This was an endgame. He was still unable to find a way to crack the puzzle.

Susan cleared her throat and asked, “Father, were you talking to Luke on the phone just now?”

“Yes.” Old Master Crawford did not lift his head. He stroked his chin as his thoughts were all on the chess game.

Susan took the chance to question him, “Allison’s back. Will she be coming over here to celebrate New Year’s Eve with us?”

“Why? Are you planning to start a fight with her when she’s back?” Old Master Crawford shifted his gaze away from the chess board and rolled his eyes at her.

Susan gave an awkward smile and said, “Father, I don’t wish to argue with her as well. But she’s the one who always starts it.”

“It doesn’t matter who starts it first. Both of you always end up fighting with each other, never letting the Crawford family have a moment’s peace.” Old Master Crawford sneered.
