Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 997

Susan was not convinced. Allison’s skin was good, but it could not be attained from just getting enough sleep. She mockingly said, “What a joke! You spent God knows how much on your face. Just admit it if you’re old, there’s no need to spend a lot of money to try to maintain your aging face. Fortunately, Luke still has money. Otherwise, your face would be rotten now!"

Allison sneered and said, "Susan, you’re jealous that I’m better-looking and younger than you!"

Bianca saw that the two were quarreling again and glanced at Luke. His expression was neutral and he did not seem to plan to do anything.

She thought that it was not appropriate for them to quarrel in front of the children, especially since they were back for the first time in a while. When she wanted to say something to ease the tension, Old Master Crawford’s majestic voice sounded. "Both your ages combined add up to 100 years old. Enough with the fighting!"

Susan and Allison looked at the old man. Even though they were still furious and wanted to continue tearing each other apart, they both stepped down.

The battle finally came to an end.

Bianca and Luke looked at Old Master Crawford, greeting him.

Old Master Crawford nodded in response. Seeing that he looked tired, Luke asked, "Grandpa, why do you look so tired?"

"It's nothing. I’m getting old and just need some rest," Old Master Crawford replied. He sat on the sofa and instructed the caretaker, "Go get the chessboard, I want to play a game with Luke."

Bianca glanced at the staircase. Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy had not come down. They were probably playing upstairs, which was a great thing seeing as what had just happened.

"Okay, Old Master." The caretaker went to prepare the chessboard.

Luke took Bianca's hand and sat on the other end of the sofa.

Allison looked at them and wondered why they were here.

She was out of money and planned to steal Old Master Crawford's antiques. She chose this day to come back to the manor and had even asked the caretaker to clean up her room so that she could spend a night here. She would say that her villa was experiencing a power outage. She was back to be Jon’s backup.

She did not expect that Luke would be back.

More people meant more trouble.

As she watched Luke play chess with Old Master Crawford, Allison was thinking about whether she should put a stop to her plans.

However, if she did, she would not have any excuse to spend the night. Since she moved out, she had barely come back to spend the night. If she came back too frequently, it would arouse suspicion from others.

Susan was the one to look out for. If she lost something, she would blame Allison at once.

Allison thought that the living expenses Luke gave her would not last her that much longer, so she made up her mind to go forward with her plan!

After Luke played a game of chess with Old Master Crawford, Louis returned with Thea.

Seeing his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he was very happy and said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back!"

"Louis, good to see you!" Luke stopped playing chess and responded to Louis.

Thea always acted polite in front of Louis. She greeted the people present, "Hello, Great Grandpa Crawford, Grandma Susan, Grandma Allison, Uncle Luke, and Aunt Bianca."

"Thea, you’re such a good girl. Come to Grandma. I’ve prepared chocolates for you." Susan was overjoyed to see her granddaughter. She beckoned toward her and Thea walked over.

Louis put Thea's school bag aside and said helplessly, "Mom, Thea has tooth decay. Don't give her so many sweets."

"One or two is okay." Susan coddled Thea. She tore open the packaging and stuffed it into Thea's mouth. "Do you like it?"
