“What do you mean ‘suppose so?” Allison hated vague answers like that.
The more uncertain she was about how Old Master Crawford felt about Luca, the more she wanted to know.
“Where's the car key?” asked Allison.
“Madam Allison, what do you need the car keys for?” asked Aunt Neile, already knowing the answer but trying to delay her.
“Of course, I’m going to Crawford Manor. Old Master Crawford is the strictest with Luke, and I can't let him ruin everything because of a woman." Allison was already planning ahead.
She was worried that the old master would not like how Luke was behaving and that he might strip him of his power. A wave of panic washed over her.
“Madam Allison, it’s already too late to go to Crawford Manor now,” Aunt Neile quickly said. “If you drive over there now, they’ll already be having dinner. If you go now, Old Master Crawford will just scold you for being disrespectful. You just came back. It’d be better not to upset him, right?”
Allison paused for a moment. The timing was indeed awkward.
They were probably still eating dinner and had not finished yet.
If she showed up at this time, it would be fine if she were a guest, but the old master would definitely scold her. She sat back down on the couch. “Does Luke often bring Luca back there?”
“Not often, just occasionally,” replied Aunt Neile.
“What nonsense,” muttered Allison, clenching her teeth. She knew she could not do anything about it. Luke was even harder to handle than his own father, Zachary.
Previously, Old Master Crawford could at least somewhat control Zachary. Even if he was wild, it was not extreme.
However, Luke was different.
Even though Old Master Crawford was still the head of the Crawford family, he was getting old. His control over the younger generation had decreased significantly.
Otherwise, how could Luke bring another woman into his house and even take her to Crawford Manor for dinner while still being married on paper?
Aunt Neile, who had grown accustomed to Allison’s temper, shook her head and quietly said, “Madam Allison, why don’t you have dinner first?”
“How could I have any appetite right now?” snapped Allison. She thought about how much time and effort she had spent just to enter the Crawford family, earn Old Master Crawford's approval, and become Zachary's wife—even if she was not his legal wife.
She had gone through so much to have a child, even hiding her identity for years before eventually finding the child again. She suffered all that to finally join the Crawford family.
Still, she was not legally acknowledged, and that was why she was always treated as inferior to Susan.
Allison had enough of living that way, but for the sake of wealth and status, she had to endure it.
Luca had not done anything—not even given Luke a son or daughter—and yet she had already earned Old Master Crawford's approval...
The thought of it made Allison's anger flare up inside.
Aunt Neile felt helpless.
If Allison did not eat now, she would just complain about the food being too cold later. She could only quietly ask, “Madam Allison, do you have business with Ms. Craw?”
Allison shot her a sideways glance. “She’s my son’s woman now. Can't I find her if there's no particular reason?”
Aunt Neile shook her head.
“She’s my son’s woman. She should be serving me and listening to me. But now, they’re out there enjoying themselves, leaving me all alone at home. Is that right?” Allison’s words were tinged with resentment.
It was as though she had truly been abandoned by Luke and Luca.
Aunt Neile had no choice but to patiently respond, “Madam, even if it’s not ideal, you can’t go hungry. Why don’t you have dinner first?”
Allison felt a wave of irritation. After thinking it over, she realized that Aunt Neile was not a live-in maid. If she did not eat now, by the time she got hungry later, no one would be there to make her anything.
Luca, being doted on by Luke, would not make dinner for her.
