Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 43

It did not matter if they were the same person or not. Bianca was still going to this gathering.

Not for her classmates, nor for the senior she could barely remember, but solely for the teacher who once gave her so much love and care, Miss Clinton.

It was one thing if she had not heard about Miss Clinton, but now that she had, there was no way she could not go.

…

That noon, at Crawford Manor.

From the moment Luke walked through the door, the old man had been following behind his oldest grandson, asking, “You’re not getting any younger. Maybe you should think about finding a life partner. Tell me, what kind of a woman do you like?”

Luke went upstairs without saying a thing.

The old man followed him upstairs despite his walking stick, but he inwardly cursed his ungrateful grandson as he climbed the stairs. The boy had no love for the young or the elderly.

“Do you like them plump? On the fair side?” the old man pressed. He thought that was his older grandson’s type.

Luke walked into his room. As he took off his coat, he also pulled off his tie and tossed it aside.

The old man continued, “I heard that Director Shaw’s daughter is in town. Why didn’t you bring her to meet me? If Director Shaw hadn’t personally called me, I wouldn’t have known a thing. I’m your elder!”

“Why should I bring her home to meet you? Who is she to deserve that?” Luke refuted his grandfather coldly amidst the sound of running water.

The old man’s eye twitched, and he immediately understood. His older grandson did not fancy that Shaw heiress at all.

Old Master Crawford then turned around and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Louis Crawford was holding a blood peach. He was about to take a bite from it when suddenly the old man stabbed him in the back with his cane!

Louis turned around angrily. “Why’d you poke me, Grandfather?”

“Come here. Come sit with me.” The old man beckoned at him, looking quite serious.

Louis glanced toward the stairs and then at his grandfather’s unnaturally solemn expression. He had no choice but to sit down and ask, “Did something happen, Grandfather?”

The old man took a deep breath and looked at his younger grandson, saying, “Help me keep an eye on your brother from now on. Find out more about the woman he’s seeing.”

“You want to keep an eye on my brother?” Louis’ eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets. “You want me to follow him? Are you implying that I have a death wish? Or are you dying and want to drag me down with you?”

As the two of them were talking, Luke finished his brief shower and walked downstairs.

The old man immediately shut up.

Louis only observed his brother carefully. To tell the truth, he was quite curious to know too. What kind of a woman would make his cold-blooded brother spend so many nights away from home like this?

Luke walked to the dining table and picked up a set of newspapers, opening them.

Ten minutes later, Susan Armstrong came downstairs as well, while Allison Tanner returned home from outside.

It was time for lunch at the Crawfords.

Just then, Luke’s phone rang.

He kept his eyes on the newspaper as he picked up the call and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jason was eating his lunch outside. He had put his heart and soul into working for his boss over the years, and today he was doing his same old job as usual.

He had just sat down and checked his to-do list when he noticed that there was a part of Luke’s schedule he had to arrange.

“Mr. Crawford, your high school teacher’s birthday is next weekend. Are you attending this year? If you aren’t, I’ll make the arrangements for your trip to America on that day.”

Jason asked carefully.

As he expected, Luke chose not to go.

Luke had only gone once before. Once he found out what they did at the birthday party, he simply found it extremely boring. Everyone there just kept sucking up to him and flattering him non-stop.
