Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2994

Louis was surprised when he heard this. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, Brother. This is your apartment, how could I..."

"This is a property developed by T Corporation. I bought a unit. It was actually meant for you from the start. But Grandpa arranged a villa next door for you after that. So, the apartment was temporarily left in my hands," explained Luke.

"If you're down with it, just take it. If not, consider it a gift for Thea. Once she's 18, I'll hand the property to her."

Louis was greatly shocked.

Houses and properties were never a big deal for the Crawford family as everyone owned several of them.

Even Susan, with a few villas and apartments under her name, had not moved into any of them. She used them for investment or rental purposes instead.

Louis was an exception, having sold all his properties to fund his business for the company.

Otherwise, he would not be in such a mess now.

"Even if it's for Thea, that’s future business.." Louis initially wanted to decline, but he considered that it was meant for Thea. It was up to Thea herself whether to accept or not. As a father, he did not feel right making decisions on behalf of his daughter.

"If you find it hard to accept, just pay some rent each month. How about a thousand dollars?"

Luke knew what he was thinking. Even though they were brothers, being half-siblings did make a difference. Louis did not want people to say he succeeded only because of his brother. That was why he was drawing a line on these little matters.

Louis felt like he was dreaming. Did he hear it wrong?

In A City, a rental of a thousand dollars was only possible in the outskirts. The school Thea attended was a prestigious one, and the rental and selling prices of the properties around it were proportional to its reputation.

Getting a four-bedroom apartment for a thousand dollars was unbelievable in that area.

Louis wanted to say that this would be taking advantage of Luke.

However, before he could voice his rejection, Yuri accepted it. "Luke, thank you."

Luke shook his head and replied, "Louis, we're brothers. I'd be happy if you could come to me when you're in trouble. I know the solution isn't what you expected. I'm sorry."

Louis looked at the apartment access card in his hand and shook his head, "Brother..."

He did not want to disturb Old Master Mallory’s peace, but if there was another solution, he would not have taken this route.

Properties near Thea's school were difficult to rent. Especially now, when it was not at the beginning or end of the year. There were almost no vacant houses.

Besides, if people found out he was renting, it would affect the Crawford family.

That was why Louis thought of having Susan return to Crawford Manor.

Now, Luke provided him with a new solution.

A thousand dollars was not much of a burden for him. He was hesitant to accept it, but since Yuri had agreed, saying anything more would seem overly sensitive.

"It’s up to you whether you’re telling Grandpa about this or not. If you need any help, just call me," said Luke. He could not intervene in Louis' matters. Thus, the best he could do was offer them a place to stay.
