Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2759

Old Master Bourne was not anxious to bring up Lonnie’s matter. He lifted the teacup and took a sip.

"How is it?" asked Old Master Crawford. The tea they served was of good quality. Yet, it was not time for the impending topic of conversation just yet.

"It’s good. It has a clear and refreshing taste that can't be compared to old tea. The flavor of the tea leaves is good. Crawford, which tea house is this from?" complimented Old Master Bourne.

"It's not from a big tea house. It's from our own tea house." smiled Old Master Crawford.

Luke and Louis knew that the old master enjoyed drinking tea. Hence, the brothers bought a tea house in F province.

The tea business was profitable and this way, the old master could enjoy some good tea too.

"Oh, that is really enviable." Old Master Bourne glanced at Lonnie, signaling him to say something.

Lonnie noticed Old Master Bourne's gaze. He lifted the teacup and said, "Yes, Old Master Crawford. This tea has a rich and fragrant taste. It’s refreshing, and it leaves a revitalizing sensation. It's good tea."

Old Master Crawford lifted the teacup and took a sip. "Good tea leaves."

Old Master Bourne cleared his throat. After some small talk and tea, it was time to get down to business.

Just as he was about to speak, Old Master Crawford piped up, "Mr. Griffin, bring me the chessboard. I’d like to play a few games with Old Master Bourne."

Old Master Bourne was dumbfounded for a moment.

Lonnie, who was sitting next to him, was taken aback too.

"Alright, Old Master Crawford,” replied Mr. Griffin as he turned to fetch the chessboard.

While they were waiting for the chessboard to arrive, Old Master Bourne took the opportunity to say, "Crawford, other than our game of chess I have another matter concerning this young man to discuss with you.”

"Oh? About Mr. Jackman?" There was a faint smile on Old Master Crawford's face, but anyone with a good eye could see that the smile did not reach his eyes.

His cloudy eyes revealed a trace of shrewdness.

Lonnie was being stared at. He was on thin ice. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Old Master Crawford. I have a favor to ask."

"Is your wife from the Sutton family?" Old Master Crawford went straight to the point and added, "The one who was in the newspaper today."

"Yes, that's my wife. She did something wrong and she’s now paying the price for it." Lonnie said with a stiff upper lip.

"Well, then let the police handle it." Old Master Crawford took another sip of tea.

Lonnie was stunned for a moment. He did not know what to say. He turned to look at Old Master Bourne, wondering what he meant by his words.

Old Master Bourne glared at him and gave him a frustrated look. Then, he said, "Crawford, Lonnie didn't come to visit you today for this matter."

The moment he finished speaking, Lonnie added, "Yes. My wife did something wrong. It’s up to the police to decide how long they will be detaining her.”

When Lonnie said this, Old Master Crawford was stunned for a moment.

Did they not come here to talk about this?

Then what was this visit for?

"What’s the matter, then?" asked Old Master Crawford.

Lonnie shot a glance at Old Master Bourne.

Old Master Bourne grew impatient and said, "Tell him."

"It's about my company. I signed a project with a party who requested T Corporation provide the design drawing. I had paid a visit to T Corporation, but it seemed like they were too busy with their own projects, so they refused to take on mine. Now, I have no design drawings and I have no explanation for the European party who hired us. Old Master Crawford, I was hoping you could talk to Mr. Crawford and see if he could take on this project's design." requested Lonnie cautiously.
