“Okay, Young Master Luke.” Mr. Griffin sounded helpless.
Luke hung up the call. Lanie, who sat on the passenger seat asked, “Daddy, Grandma’s doing it again, right?”
“Yes.” Luke clasped the steering wheel tightly and reminded the kids, “Look for Great-grandpa later when we arrive. Remember to greet him. He’s in the study. Don’t come out after you go in. Got it?”
“Okay, Daddy,” the three kids replied in unison.
They were afraid of Allison too. It would be better if they could stay far away from her.
Luke stopped talking. Allison could be crazy and do whatever she wanted as long as she did not influence the kids. As a father, he had the desire to protect his kids.
10 minutes later, Luke arrived at Crawford Manor. He drove into the house compound, and after he parked the car, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car.
“Daddy?” Rainie gave him a confused look.
“If you see the elders later, greet them. Then, look for Great-grandpa,” Luke reminded them again.
“Daddy, don’t worry. We know what to do,” Rainie nodded and replied.
Luke pushed the car door open.
Mr. Griffin knew Luke had come back. He opened the umbrella and quickly walked out of the house. Then, he covered the kids under the umbrella and said, “Young Master Luke, children, you’re finally back.”
“Is Grandpa still in his study?” Luke asked.
“Yes. Old Master Crawford hasn’t stepped out of the study since Madam Allison came back,” replied Mr. Griffin.
“What about the other woman?” Luke asked again.
"Madam Allison fought with Madam Crawford just now. They've stopped arguing for now. The maid is currently cleaning up her bedroom and preparing another room for the guest. She should be on the third floor now," answered Mr. Griffin.
Of course, Susan would not want to see Allison come back for the new year. Before the two of them even exchanged any words with each other, they began to quarrel.
It was so intense that if it were not for Yuri stopping them, they would have started to fight.
Old Master Crawford did not intend to stop them from arguing. Instead, he listened to classical music in his study. He turned up the volume and closed the door. That way, the noises coming from downstairs would not be able to disturb him.
However, Mr. Griffin was troubled.
He could not hide and leave them alone like what Old Master Crawford was doing, but he was in no position to stop this ridiculous family argument.
“Okay.” Luke nodded without asking the reason Allison and Susan fought.
“Mr. Griffin, let’s go in.” Rainie took the initiative to hold the butler’s hand.
“Okay.” Mr. Griffin held the umbrella and covered the kids so that the snow would not fall on them.
Luke followed beside them.
When they entered the living room, Susan was sitting on the sofa. Her face was still red. The big argument between her and Allison had made her blood pressure rise.
Louis was taking her blood pressure. Then, he saw Luke coming in. He smiled and greeted, “Brother, you’re back.”
“I’m sorry. That woman is her personal nurse working in the plastic surgery hospital in Seoul,” answered Luke.
It was indeed inappropriate for Allison to do such a thing.
It was a day for the family to reunite, yet Allison brought an outsider here. Although she brought the woman back to Imperial Capital, the woman could stay at the villa. There was no need to bring her here.
“Did she say that? Do you believe her? Do you even know her?” Susan threw three questions at Luke, then she mentioned an event that had happened in the past. “Previously, Allison brought an outsider into the house to steal things. Perhaps she has other plans this time. Luke, you should know that Old Master Crawford doesn’t like us bringing strangers back here to spend the night, especially women with an unknown identity. What the hell is she thinking?”
“Mom, stop bringing up the past.” Louis was a little embarrassed. It had been so long and Allison had already gotten what she deserved. It was pointless for Susan to bring it up.
“I’m sorry. I’ll talk to her,” replied Luke in a cold voice. He was thinking of sending that woman back to the villa.
"You can't do anything either. It's obvious that Old Master Crawford doesn't want that woman in his house, but your mother insists on letting that woman spend the night here and celebrate the new year with us. Are you better at convincing her than Old Master Crawford?" Susan asked with a disgusted look on her face, and she continued, "It seems like I have to lock all the cabinets where I store my jewelry. Otherwise, someone might steal it. We have to beware of someone who has a criminal record, after all. Birds of a feather flock together. I'm afraid that woman is up to no good."
Luke remained silent while Louis tugged on Susan’s sleeve.
Susan pulled back her sleeve and glowered at him.
It did not matter if Louis was not helping her, but he was even acting like this.
“Anyway, Luke, you know what kind of person your mom used to be. I have to be straightforward with you. If anything happens when your Mom and that woman are here in our house, don’t blame me for calling the police,” said Susan. She rose to her feet and staggered for a moment because of her high blood pressure.
“Mom, let me help you. Let’s go back to your room.” Louis quickly helped her up.
Susan sneered and said, “I’m going to my room to keep my expensive jewelry and designer handbags before an unknown person sees them and tries to steal them.”
