Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2737

In the living room.

Yuri was dishing up the fruits that had just been delivered. She saw Louis walk in with an angry look on his face. She frowned and asked with confusion, "Who upset you?"

"Where's my mother?" asked Louis.

"She headed upstairs with a golden pine tree ornament in her hands. Who gave that? I can see she’s happy. Is it made of pure gold?" asked Yuri. She reckoned that if the ornament was truly made of pure gold, it would be worth at least a million dollars.

"Luke gave it to us. She opened the gift in front of him. I'm going upstairs to find her," Louis replied shortly and made his way up the stairs.

Yuri watched him leave and pondered.

If the ornament was a gift from Luke, there was no doubt that it was made of pure gold.

She did not expect Susan would take such a valuable ornament before her…

Yuri looked at the fruits on the table and shook her head helplessly. Even though she did not like things that were made of gold, the ornament was valuable, and it could be sold for a significant amount of money.

Louis went upstairs. Susan was nowhere to be seen in the living room. He pushed open the bedroom door.

Susan was placing the ornament on the table when the sound of the door slamming open startled her. She turned around and saw Louis, then she placed her hand on her chest to calm herself down. Then, she said, "Why did you open the door without knocking? You scared me."

"Do you think what you did was right?" Louis' eyes were slightly red as he looked at Susan. She clutched the ornament tightly in her hand. He knocked it out of her hand.

Susan glanced at the ornament and remained silent. Then, she placed it on the shelf near the window.

"Mom, you went too far with what you did today!" It got on Louis’ nerves when he noticed that all Susan cared about was the pine tree ornament and she ignored him.

"What did I do? I was just unwrapping a gift. Besides, Luke’s your brother. We're a family. Why are you making a fuss when he didn’t even say anything about it?" Susan was impatient.

Louis fell speechless. Susan had never treated Luke as family, and now she was using this excuse to explain it away...

Louis used to work at T Corporation, and he was always being taken care of by Luke. He was grateful, but he also knew what the others talked about behind his back.

He was the younger brother who could never grow up...

It took him a while before he finally convinced Old Master Crawford to let him start his own business. When he made some achievements, Susan would always find a way to trample on his dignity.

Luke would not say anything or look down on him because of his mother.

Still, Louis felt ashamed because of what Susan did. The embarrassment he felt due to Susan's actions caused a hot flush to spread across his cheeks.

It felt like someone was slapping him in the face.

Susan noticed that Louis seemed to have suffered a major setback. He stood there silently with his head lowered. A wave of fury suddenly rose inside her.

"I just unwrapped a gift, and it was Luke's gift. You think it's shameful, don't you? To you, Luke is your noble brother. You have never put me, your mother, in your eyes. In this case, let's make things clear with the old master. You don't want me to stay here, so instead of staying here and enduring you giving me that attitude, I might as well move back to Crawford Manor!" Susan had never wanted to move here. Now, she had an excuse to move back to Crawford Manor.

"Don't make a fuss!" Louis reached out to stop her from leaving and looked for Old Master Crawford.

Susan stomped forward furiously. She did not stop walking when she was stopped by Louis. Louis blocked her way, and she could not help but take a few steps backward. Then, she gave him an incredulous look and said, "Did you just push me?"
