Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3338

On the other hand, Allison could not sleep, so she got up early.

She first checked the master bedroom, noticing that Luke and Luca were already up. Thinking of her own matters, she quickly headed downstairs.

When she came to the living room, she found Aunt Neile tidying up and asked, “Aunt Neile, where’s Luca?”

“Ms. Craw is already off to work,” replied Aunt Neile. She could not help but flinch slightly when she looked at Allison’s face, but she quickly tried to hide her reaction, not wanting to offend Allison.

“Already at work?” Allison’s voice rose a little. “Isn’t that a bit early?”

“Madam Allison, it’s almost 9:00 am. It’s not that early,” Aunt Neile pointed out, noting that most people were already at work at this hour. Luca was probably settled in at the company by now.

“Isn’t 9:00 am early?” questioned Allison. “Isn’t she working at Luke’s company? Why would she have to clock in on time?”

Aunt Neile finally understood what she meant.

Allison was clearly expecting that Luca, given her connection to Luke, would have special privileges to come in later if she wanted.

Aunt Neile caught on. “Ms. Craw hasn’t used any special privileges. She has always worked normal hours.”

Allison gave a skeptical laugh, clearly not believing it.

“What time does she usually get home?” asked Allison. It was about her face, and she was desperate to talk to Luca about it right away.

If she did not have to avoid going outside and staying out of the sun, she would already be storming into Luca’s office to get her to agree.

“Around 6:00 pm,” answered Aunt Neile, then she asked, “Madam Allison, do you need something from Ms. Craw?”

“Why else would I be looking for her?” Allison rolled her eyes, wincing as it pulled on a tender patch of skin on her face.

Aunt Neile remembered that Luca and Luke were going to Crawford Manor for dinner tonight and would not be back so soon. She hesitated about whether to tell Allison.

However, after a brief pause and seeing the dark, brooding look on Allison’s face, she decided against it.

If Allison found out they were going to Crawford Manor together, she might insist on tagging along.

This would mean that a pleasant family dinner would turn sour.

Allison had plenty of excuses to go to Crawford Manor.

Hence, Aunt Neile felt it was best not to tell her. After all, Luke had sent the kids back to Crawford Manor specifically to keep them away from Allison.

“Would you like some breakfast now, Madam Allison?” asked Aunt Neile.

“Obviously! I got up early. Do you want me to starve?” Allison snapped as she walked to the dining room.

Aunt Neile put down her cleaning supplies and went to the kitchen to bring out Allison’s breakfast.

Allison frowned as soon as she saw it. “Why was it ready so fast?”

“I prepared it early just for you,” explained Aunt Neile.

“I need to eat fresh food with my health the way it is!” Allison looked at the plate but did not touch it.

Aunt Neile assured her, “It is fresh. I made it this morning.”

“You don’t understand, do you?” Allison rose to her feet. She was half a head taller than Aunt Neile. Her expression was cold and menacing as she said, “I want it made on the spot. Anything over an hour old isn’t fresh to me. My face can’t handle stale food. Make it again.”

When Allison's deeply wrinkled face appeared before her, Aunt Neile could not help but startle for a moment. She quickly nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll make it right now.

Carrying the breakfast that Allison deemed "not fresh", Aunt Neile hurried back to the kitchen and prepared a new plate for her.
