"Ms. Allison, aren't you worried?" Sophian noticed that Allison and Luke did not share a good relationship.

Nevertheless, all of Allison's expenses were paid for by Luke.

Although it was natural for a son to take care of his mother, Luke seemed to act like whoever was paying was the boss.

On top of that, Luke did not care much about his mother.

"Do you think I've spent all these years having learned nothing? I'm Luke's mother. Although he said that, he won’t do anything to me. He told me not to come back, but I’m back anyway. If I'm not willing to leave, no one can shoo me away." Allison sat on the sofa with her legs folded together. She wanted to act like a lady.

Seeing how confident she was, Sophian nodded and felt a little more relieved.

She hoped that Allison would not be afraid of Luke's coercion as she claimed.

After all, she did not want to return to Korea.

She would wake up laughing every day if she could be Luke’s woman and live in such a big mansion.

Allison touched her stomach. She was focused on arguing with Susan and forgot that she was hungry. She said to Sophian, "Sophian, go to the kitchen and bring me some food."

"Ms. Allison, don’t you want to go down to eat?" Sophian asked. She was a little unhappy. She was a nurse, not a nanny.

Allison pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "We caused such a scene. Why would I want to go down? Go tell Mrs. Nancy that I'm hungry. She’ll know what to do. Also, have her prepare more for you. You can eat with me."

"Okay, Ms. Allison. Give me a moment." Sophian showed no displeasure on her face even though she was annoyed.

She went downstairs to get food for Allison.

Sophian went into the kitchen and found that Yuri was also there.

Although no one had talked to her about the Crawfords, she got a general understanding from the situation in the dining room just now that the woman in front of her was likely the wife of Luke's younger brother.

"Hello, Mrs. Crawford," Sophian greeted Yuri politely. Although Luke and Louis were brothers, they did not share the same mother. Hence, she assumed that the two shared a competitive relationship.

Nevertheless, she was not dating Luke yet, so she did not want to make things awkward with Yuri.

Yuri tilted her head, glanced at her, and held up a glass of water. "Are you the specialist that Ms. Tanner brought back with her from Korea?"

"Yes, I'm a skincare specialist attending to Ms. Allison." Sophian was a little nervous, but she kept her head held high.

"Ms. Allison?" Yuri raised her lips and smiled mockingly.

Sophian noticed her contempt.

She knew that rich women like that often looked down on others, so she secretly vowed to step back now and take her revenge when the time came.

Luke was much better than her husband, Louis.

Yuri took a sip of tea and said, "Since you're a skincare expert, I'd like for you to do a facial for me when you have the time. The weather has been fairly dry recently and my face feels it as well. I've been so busy with work that I don't have the time to go to my usual beauty salon. I'd like to think that the skincare technology in Korea should be better than that in A City, right?"

"The skincare technology in A City is almost the same as that in foreign countries. Many Korean technologies are imported from A City," Sophian replied.

She would not have stayed in Korea for so long if it was not for the plastic surgery that she wanted to do.

"Is that so? It was nice chatting with you. Do a facial for me when you have time." Yuri finished speaking and left the kitchen.

Thea was triggered after she saw Allison's face and was still making a fuss in the room.

Sophian watched Yuri leave with a deep gaze.

'Do a facial for her? She dares to say that now, but will she dare to speak to me the same way in the future?!'

Mrs. Nancy noticed that Sophian was staring dumbly in the direction that Yuri left, so she asked, "Ms. Thomas, can I help you with anything?"

"Oh yes, Ms. Allison is a little hungry, so she asked for you to help prepare something for her and me. We're eating together," Sophian snapped out of it and replied to Mrs. Nancy.

"Okay, give me a moment. I'll prepare something now." Mrs. Nancy moved quickly and put their meals on the tray.

Sophian noticed that there were only a few dishes. They were different from the dishes that were served just now, so she asked, "Why are there only so few dishes? Weren't there a lot of dishes on the dining table just now?"

Mrs. Nancy smiled awkwardly and explained, "Before you came, the butler had already brought some food to the study for Old Master Crawford and Young Master Luke. Madam Susan had also sent someone to get her meal, so this is all that's left."

Allison was the last in the mansion to send someone over to collect the food. She was lucky that there were some leftovers.

"They move so fast..." Sophian was puzzled. 'Didn't Old Master Crawford storm off after his two daughters-in-law pissed him off? How did he have the appetite to eat in a blink of an eye...'

"There are children. They should never go hungry," Mrs. Nancy explained.

Sophian looked at the dishes on the tray and asked, "Is there any soup left?"

"There are still two bowls, but Madam Allison isn't a big fan of soup. She thinks it's greasy and fattening." Mrs. Nancy said.

Sophian shook her head. She noticed earlier that expensive ingredients were used to prepare the soup.

She said, "Ms. Allison needs to drink more soup. It's good for the skin. Please hand me the remaining two bowls."

She thought it was stupid that Allison did not want to drink such a good soup.

Sophian was greedy. She knew that it was good for her body and skin. If Allison did not want to drink it, she could have both bowls.

"Okay, Ms. Thomas. Just a second." Mrs. Nancy turned around and scooped the soup. She carefully placed the two bowls on the tray.

"It's quite heavy. Can a maid help me carry it upstairs?" Sophian asked. She frowned while looking at the platter full of food. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I'll help you." Mrs. Nancy took the tray and went upstairs with Sophian. When they were about to reach Allison's bedroom, Sophian took the tray in Mrs. Nancy's hand and said, "It's okay, you can pass it to me now. I'll bring it in."

Mrs. Nancy was a woman over 50 years old. She had seen this situation a lot of times. She opted to keep quiet. With a smile, she turned around to leave.

'It seems that Sophian is not a simple person. Otherwise, how could she be serving by Madam Allison's side?' Mrs. Nancy was not clear about what Sophian's intentions were.

Sophian cautiously walked into Allison's bedroom with the tray and said, "Ms. Allison, your food is here."

"Why did you take so long?" Allison asked angrily.

“I bumped into Young Master Louis' wife in the kitchen. She asked Mrs. Nancy to do something, so it took some time," Sophian said, justifying her procrastination.

After all, if she mentioned that it was because she had a chat with Yuri, Allison would surely blame her. As such, she blamed Yuri for it.

It would not make a difference since Allison did not have a good relationship with Susan anyway.
