Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3429

“She's busy, so use something else. I’ve got stuff to do. I’m hanging up now.” Luke did not want to hear her rambling.

Allison quickly added, “Wait, there's one more thing.”

Luke frowned in annoyance.

“I don’t have any money left. Send me some,” continued Allison. She was worried he might refuse. “It’s been over a month, and you still haven’t sent me my living expenses.”

“Don’t worry, Jason will transfer it to you in a bit,” replied Luke. It had indeed been a month. However, he had been too busy to remember.

“Alright.” Allison was about to say more when Sophian called out sweetly, “Mr. Crawford…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Luke hung up the phone.

Allison stared at Sophian. “What did you say that for?”

Sophian was confused. She had only said a word, and the call was already disconnected. Was it her fault?

“I just wanted to talk to him…” replied Sophian.

“You didn’t have to say anything. I wasn’t done talking yet, and you made him hang up.” Allison was furious. She knew that if she tried to call back now, Luke would not answer the call. Even so, she dialed again.

As expected, he did not answer.

“This is all your fault!” Allison blamed Sophian.

Sophian felt a bit helpless. She did not think she could be blamed for this.

She bit her lip, at a loss for what to do.

Allison turned her attention to Tommy. She smiled, trying to make her terrifying face look a little more pleasant. “Good boy, come help me give your daddy a video call, or at least send him a voice message saying you still have something to discuss.”

Tommy’s dark eyes twinkled as he shook his head. “Grandma, I don’t have anything to say to Daddy.”

“Can’t you just pretend you do?” Allison asked helplessly.

“But I really don’t have anything to tell Daddy.” Tommy was confused. “Grandma, why do you want me to lie?”

Allison was rendered speechless for a moment. Was that really lying? To her, that was not even close to lying.

“Just help me out. It doesn't count as a lie,” Allison said patiently as she sat on the chair.

Tommy shook his head. “If Daddy finds out I lied, he’ll definitely spank me.”

Seeing he would not budge, Allison gave up. This grandson of hers had never been close to her.

In the past, when she wanted to hold him, he would cry his eyes out. Years had passed, but there was no real affection between them.

Allison sighed and said, “Alright then. Just give me the phone.”

“No way. This is mine! I need it to contact Daddy and Great-Grandpa!” Tommy shook his head and tried to take the phone back. However, being a child, he did not have the strength to fight an adult.

Allison furrowed her brows and tried to bargain. “I’ll buy you a new one—something just as good, okay?”

“No, this one’s special. Daddy gave it to me, and it’s one of a kind. It even has my name engraved on the back!” explained Tommy.

Allison glanced at the back of the phone and, sure enough, she saw his name engraved there. “I’ll buy you one that’s also one of a kind, and I’ll have your name engraved on it too, alright?”

She was planning to take Tommy’s phone and try to contact Luke again tomorrow. She also wanted Aunt Neile to return to work.

She did not want to leave things to Sophian. Allison was getting fed up with it.

“No, Grandma, you can’t take it!” Tommy saw Allison getting up to take the phone and quickly say, “This was given to me by Daddy. You can’t take it.”

“You little rascal, why are you so stingy? Just let me borrow it for a little while. Once I get in touch with your dad, I’ll give it back to you.” Allison tried to reason with him.
