Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3031

"Yes, Master Luke called last night and said he and his family will be coming back for dinner," replied Mr. Griffin with a smile on his face.

"Alright. Have the kitchen get ready," said Old Master Crawford. This would be the first family dinner after Luca revealed her true identity.

Even though Susan, Allison, and Louis and his family were not present, it was still considered a family feast. Old Master Crawford attached great importance to it.

"Don't worry, the cook and the maids went out early this morning to get the ingredients," assured Mr. Griffin. He knew how much Old Master Crawford prioritized this family gathering, and he had emphasized it to the cook when he informed her.

Knowing that Old Master Crawford paid a lot of attention to this, the cook would undoubtedly put in 200% effort to prepare tonight's family dinner.

"Good. Have the chauffeur prepare the car. I’d like to go to the park for a while," said Old Master Crawford as he rose to his feet.

"Yes," replied Mr. Griffin. Then, he went to notify the chauffeur.

Since Susan moved out, Old Master Crawford's life seemed to have suddenly become more relaxed. Even though it was already quite leisurely back then, having Susan around seemed to make him less relaxed.

Now, things were different. After Susan moved out of Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford became more relaxed. He often spent his mornings in the park nearby, practicing yoga and playing chess. He was enjoying a retired life like an ordinary elderly person.

...

As they were going to Crawford Manor for dinner, Luca told all the researchers to leave work on time, and she also left the office on time.

She did not head to Crawford Manor right away but returned home first as she and Luke had agreed. They would gather at home and then leave together.

When she got back to the villa, the three children had already returned from school. Nina had not come back yet.

Luca entered the living room and saw the three children doing their homework. Then, she asked, "Has Mr. Crawford returned home yet?"

Aunt Neile was still there. That was why she addressed Luke as Mr. Crawford.

Tommy shook his head. "Daddy hasn't come back yet, but Lanie sent him a message just now. He said he's on his way back."

"Okay, good. Continue with your homework. I'll prepare some herbs," replied Luca. When she asked Aunt Neile to buy some herbs back last time, they were not just for Queenie but also for Old Master Crawford.

She had planned to find time to deliver them to Crawford Manor, but with so many things happening recently, her plan to deliver the herbs had been delayed.

"Okay," the three children replied in unison. Luca walked into the store room, found the herbs that Aunt Niele had helped her buy before, and checked them.

The herbs were fine. There was no sign of spoilage due to the proper storage. The herbs still emitted a strong fragrance, perfect for making herbal dishes.

Carrying two bags of herbs, Luca walked out of the store room and placed them on the coffee table. She intended to transfer them into glass jars. At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Aunt Neile initially wanted to help Luca, but she walked to the video intercom when she heard the doorbell. She instinctively turned around to look at Luca when she realized the person standing outside the door was Susan.

"What's the matter?" Luca originally wanted Aunt Neile to help with the glass jars. She met her gaze, and she had a faint feeling that something was not right. “Who is it?”

"It's Madam Crawford...” Aunt Neile added, "Master Louis’ mother."

"Okay, open the door," replied Luca. She was curious why Susan had come again. After all, she had not gotten anything the last time she came.

However, Susan was already standing at the door, and it was impossible not to open it.

She was an elder of the Crawford family, after all. Luca could not do that to her. However, there was a sense of unease in her heart. She hoped that Luke would come back soon.

When the kids heard that it was Susan and Luca asked Aunt Niele to open the door, the three of them simultaneously took action. They quickly packed their books into their backpacks and went upstairs.

Lanie, the last one to go upstairs, said, "Ms. Luca, let us know when we're leaving."
