Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3290

Susan glared at her. “You’re always using the child as an excuse. Now that the Crawford family and the Mallory family are on good terms, why don’t you go chat with Mrs. Mallory? The others might think you don’t like her!”

Yuri was getting frustrated. She had no desire to talk to Nina, and she was afraid it would look like she was trying to suck up to her.

She nudged Louis with her elbow.

Louis had been chatting with Luke and Percy, but after his wife nudged him, he turned to look at her.

Yuri shot him a look, signaling for him to deal with Susan.

Louis understood, but there was nothing he could do.

If only he could actually deal with Susan…

Susan’s stubbornness was something no one could handle.

“You both are a bunch of good-for-nothings!” Susan noticed their glances at each other and got really upset.

She was doing this for their own good!

Louis was so insistent on running his own company, was he not? If they could form a good relationship with the Mallory family, it would benefit his business.

Also, even if he returned to T Corporation one day, it would still help.

How could Yuri not see that?

Louis ignored her and went back to chatting with Percy.

Occasionally, Old Master Crawford would join in on their conversation.

Meanwhile, Yuri continued feeding Thea. The only person sitting in awkward silence was Susan.

She wanted to be engaged in conversation, but even Yuri could not be bothered to talk to her, let alone anyone else.

Susan felt out of place. She was part of this family, but she had somehow turned into an outsider. How did that even happen?

Luckily, the awkwardness did not last long. After a while, Mr. Griffin came over and announced, “Old Master Crawford, lunch is ready.”

“Good.” Old Master Crawford nodded. With Mr. Griffin’s help, he rose to his feet. “Today is the day my god-granddaughter visited home after her wedding. Even though we're not doing a full banquet, I still had the hotel’s chef come over to prepare a meal.

"So, consider this a feast. Shall we all head to the dining room?”

“Sounds good,” replied Luke. He stood up and took Luca’s hand. The others followed suit, making their way to the dining room.

The long dining table they usually ate at had been replaced by a round one, symbolizing reunion.

The chef had prepared ten dishes, and each one was made to the highest standards.

Once again, Nina felt touched by the Crawford family’s thoughtfulness.

She exchanged glances with Percy.

She never thought she would experience the full traditional wedding customs, but Old Master Crawford had made sure she did.

After the old master took his seat, everyone else followed suit.

Susan looked around and noticed that everyone had a partner. Old Master Crawford even had Mr. Griffin by his side to assist him. She was the only one sitting alone, and a sense of loneliness crept over her again.

If only Zachary had not cheated.

If he had not cheated, he might not have gotten into that car accident.

There would not be anyone trying to take her son's place as the heir.

The Crawford family would be smaller but definitely much happier and more united than it was now.

As she thought about this on such a joyous day, her eyes reddened. Over the years, she had suffered so much because of Zachary’s affair. She had to endure countless hardships and heartache.

She could have been the respected lady of the Crawford family, but instead, she had to share her title with another woman and fight for what should have been hers alone…

Susan’s heart was full of resentment.
