Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3056

"I want to help Daddy and Lanie.” Tommy nodded. He had no intention of managing the company. He just genuinely wanted to lend a hand.

Whenever he saw Luke working day and night, he felt that he was working hard and wanted to help.

"Good, that's great! When brothers work together, the Crawford family will only get better and better." Old Master Crawford became even happier.

Old Master Crawford used to observe Luke and Louis, the two brothers. He believed that Luke's temperament was more suitable for managing the company.

When Luke returned to Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford began training him to be the heir.

Due to his old age and the absence of his son, training an heir became an urgent matter.

Everyone in the Crawford family thought he was biased toward Luke, assuming that was why he was training him as the heir. However, in reality, he believed Luke's temperament was the right fit.

Now, it was Lanie and Tommy, the two brothers. One's temperament was similar to Luke's, while the other was more outgoing, akin to how Louis used to be.

Hence, Old Master Crawford thought Lanie would take Luke's position. As for Tommy, if he was willing, he could also join the company. The two brothers could manage the company together, which would be better than Lanie handling it alone.

After all, Luke was the only one managing the company now, and it was becoming too tiring.

If Lanie and Tommy worked together to manage the company, it would be even better. At least the responsibility would not solely fall on Lanie.

Luca looked at the two brothers, and a smile appeared on her face.

She had not discussed these future plans with the children, and she knew that Luke had not mentioned them either.

However, seeing the brothers united and wanting to help Luke lighten his burden made her feel that they were doing their duty as sons.

Even though she never really taught them about these, Luke had been with the children all along. They understood these principles on their own, which was truly rare.

After breakfast, Old Master Crawford, who had a chess appointment, changed into the clothes brought by the driver and got ready to leave.

The driver was waiting at the villa's entrance.

When Old Master Crawford walked out leaning on his cane, he coincidentally bumped into Susan, who was coming out from another door.

Susan was surprised to see Old Master Crawford and asked, "Father, what are you doing here?”

Something crossed her mind as she added, “Were you here yesterday?"

Old Master Crawford did not expect to run into Susan.

He wore a stern face and replied, "I came here for dinner and stayed the night. What's the matter?"

“How could you…” Susan was about to say something about him staying in Luke’s villa.

He should have stayed in Louis’ villa.

Was this not showing favoritism?

However, she changed her mind when she realized that Luke was also his grandson.

Bringing up favoritism might just ignite a fire within the old master.

Susan recalled her futile attempt to ring the doorbell yesterday.

Since no one answered and the rain was pouring with thunder and lightning, she could not continue to stand at the door. She returned home feeling awkward.

It turned out Old Master Crawford's dinner appointment yesterday was just an excuse to escape to Luke's place.

Old Master Crawford probably knew that she had come to the door last night.

Susan secretly felt relieved, thankful that she did not hysterically ring the doorbell at Luke's house yesterday.

Knowing she wanted to go back to Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford simply refused to go home and decided to go to the park.

Whether he actually went to the park or not, he ultimately just wanted to avoid her.

"Alright then, Father. Go ahead." Susan thought about it and realized she should not insist on getting into the car at this moment.

Mr. Griffin opened the car door for Old Master Crawford. After they both got in, Mr. Griffin closed the door and signaled the driver to leave.

Susan stood at the door and watched Old Master Crawford's car slowly drive away. Her gaze then fell on the entrance of Luke's villa.

Aunt Neile, who had sent Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin out, stayed back out of courtesy and respect. Since the old master had not left yet, she did not feel it was appropriate to close the door. Thus, she had been standing there, waiting.

Now that Old Master Crawford had left, she was about to close the door. That was when she met Susan’s gaze.

Aunt Neile was taken aback for a moment and thought that things might take a turn for the worse. Susan soon walked over.

Even though Aunt Neile currently worked for Luke, Susan was still the lady of the Crawford family. Aunt Neile did not want to offend her.

As she watched Susan approaching step by step, Aunt Neile knew that closing the door was out of the question. "Good morning, Madam Crawford."

Susan arrogantly lifted her chin and went straight to the point, "Did Old Master Crawford stay here last night?"

"Yes," answered Aunt Neile.

"Did he say anything?" Susan asked again.

Aunt Neile was puzzled. "Old Master Crawford said a lot, but I don't remember everything clearly..."

Susan secretly cursed, realizing that Aunt Neile was indeed not someone she chose. She showed a lack of proficiency in both talking and doing her work.

She decided to be direct. "Did Old Master Crawford mention anything about Louis with Luke yesterday? Do you know where Louis is staying now?"
