“Did Jason tell you? Or was Mr. Zac?" Luke had already narrowed it down. The others hardly had the chance to talk to Old Master Crawford.

"Fine. Mr. Zac was the one who told me. I forced him to," Old Master Crawford admitted helplessly. He was worried that Luke would look for Mr. Zac, he even emphasized that he was the one who forced Mr. Zac to spill the beans.

Luke remained silent. He knew it.

"I’m just concerned about you, alright? Look at you, raising three kids all by yourself. Although we have maids in the house and you have me helping you to take care of the kids, the kids can’t grow up properly without a mother’s love. I can tell the kids like Luca a lot. And I wonder when will both of you take another step further. Then I won’t have to worry that much," Old Master Crawford mumbled. He had put in a lot of effort for the sake of Luke’s happiness.

However, he did not expect Luke, who was so capable and smart during work, to be so stubborn when it came to relationships.

Luke did not take the chance when he had it. He should have taken their relationship to the next level when he was injured.

"Grandpa, I know what I’m doing," Luke said helplessly. He did not want Old Master Crawford to interfere with this. Luca was sensitive and attentive now. He was worried that the old master would mess things up.

"You say that every time. But I can’t see any progress. Oh, it’s not that you didn’t do anything but you keep failing. I got it. I got it." Old Master Crawford deliberately talked about this so that Luke would not keep asking him about Mr. Zac’s matter.

Luke gave him a helpless look.

Old Master Crawford was taking Luca’s matter seriously more than he did.

Old Master Crawford stole a glimpse of Luke when he kept silent. "Why aren’t you talking?"

"Regarding Luca’s matter, I know what I’m doing. And I can’t do anything recklessly for some particular reasons." Luke had no choice but to say something like this.

Although the kids were anxious about it, they were not as serious as Old Master Crawford was.

"Isn't this an excuse? I was thinking of creating a chance for the two of you. I didn't allow the kids to give you a call when they were thinking of calling you. Who would have known that you didn't know how to look for the perfect timing. Could it be that you've been working too hard over the years and you're exhausted? Is that why..." Old Master Crawford deliberately paused for a moment. "Do you need me to look for an experienced naturopathic doctor to prescribe some medicines for you to strengthen your body?"

"I don't need it. I'm perfectly fine." Luke knew what the old master meant. His face darkened at once. Fortunately, the kids were not there with them. Otherwise, he would have to explain to them what Old Master Crawford meant.

Old Master Crawford immediately tsked and said, “Are you embarrassed?”

Luke finished drinking a cup of warm tea. There was nothing he could do about having such a grandfather.

Fortunately, the old master would not show this side of him in front of the kids. Otherwise, the kids would imitate him!

"Alright. Bring Luca over for dinner this weekend. Take it as a token of appreciation for taking good care of you." Old Master Crawford decided. Since Luke was not making any moves, he should lend him a hand.

"What are you up to?" Luke frowned and looked at him.

"What can an old man do? Am I not allowed to thank someone on your behalf? You don't know how to do this. As a senior, am I not allowed to do something to help you?" said Old Master Crawford. All content is property © .

Luke was left with no choice. Even though he knew Old Master Crawford was up to something, he said reluctantly, "I'll have to check my schedule."

"What arrangements have you made? It's decided. I'll ask Zander to invite her over if you're not bringing her here. You'll have to drive here and have dinner with us then." Old Master Crawford was determined. He would like to see Luke get married again in his remaining years.

Judging from how slow Luke was making his progress in his relationship with Luca, Old Master Crawford was afraid that he would not be able to see it for himself before he passed away.

Luke frowned.

"Oh, one more thing. Visit the Norman family if you have the time. Try to ask Jack about the news of the development of the western suburbs. You'll have to get ready as soon as possible if the rumor is true. Although T Corporation has a lot of projects going on now and there's no need to worry about getting more projects, there are some projects that we can't let go," Old Master Crawford reminded.

"Okay. I heard about it too, and I'm thinking about it," replied Luke. He had to bring Luca and the kids along with him to visit the Norman family this time. That way, it would not be too obvious.

Besides, it had been a long time, so Jack must be missing Luca.

"You'll have to deal with your mother's matter too," Old Master Crawford reminded Luke again. Although Crawford Manor had quieted down since Allison went abroad, it was inevitable that she would come back here one day in the future. That was why he reminded Luke not to forget about her. She was his mother, after all.

Outside the tea room.

Susan made her way down the stairs, and she noticed that the door of the tea room was closed. Mr. Griffin was standing not far away from the room.

She asked, "Is Old Master Crawford discussing matters with someone in there?" "Yes, Madam Susan," replied Mr. Griffin.

Susan frowned and said, “Who is it? It seems it's been a long time since such formal measures were taken..."

The tea room was a place to talk about business. Previously, Old Master Crawford would invite anyone who came to visit him to the tea room. They would drink tea and have a chat with each other. However, he would not have made it so formal like today. The door of the tea room was closed, and he instructed Mr. Griffin to stand not far away from the room. It was obvious that he did not want anyone to come close to the tea room and eavesdrop on their conversation.

The tea room had good soundproofing, but Mr. Griffin was standing right there. There was no way Susan could get near the room, and she would not be able to hear anything.

"Young Master Luke has returned," Mr. Griffin replied in a soft voice.

Susan's brows furrowed even more, and she blurted out unconsciously, "That bastar— Luke?"

She almost blurted out her hatred for Luke in front of Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Griffin was Old Master Crawford's man. Susan hurriedly corrected herself to prevent someone from noticing it.

"Yes." Mr. Griffin slightly frowned. If Susan had not corrected herself in time, she would have called Luke a bastard.

The grievances of the previous generation had to fall upon Luke. Mr. Griffin felt sorry for him.

Luke had contributed so much to the Crawford family. All the food that Susan put in her mouth and everything that Susan was using now was all because of Luke's efforts in running the company well. Yet, Susan was ungrateful. She treated Luke as an obstacle to her son taking over the company. How pathetic.

It would be fine if Louis had the thought of taking over the family business as the two brothers could compete with each other. However, Louis did not intend to do so. All this while, Susan was the only one who had this idea in her mind.

"What are they talking about? They're doing it all mysteriously," Susan could not help but mutter.

Mr. Griffin answered politely, "I'm not sure. Perhaps it's the company's matter."

"About the company? How can they not inform Louis about it since it's such an important matter?" Susan was dissatisfied.

Mr. Griffin let out a sigh in his heart and reminded her politely, "Young Master Louis isn't working in the company."
