After Louis called Yuri to confirm that she would be home in ten minutes, he went upstairs to change into the clothes he wore yesterday. He knew that Luke would definitely not want the pajamas that he had worn before, so he asked Aunt Neile for a bag to take them with him.

After leaving, he waited for Yuri at the front door.

It took some time before Yuri's car appeared in front of him.

Seeing Louis standing at the door, Yuri frowned. “Why didn't you open the door?"

“It's locked," Louis said. After he was kicked out yesterday, Susan locked the door.

He reckoned that Susan was still angry at him, so he did not attempt to open the door. He would just get frustrated if he failed.

Yuri frowned and asked him, "Why did you quarrel with your mother and get kicked out of the house..."

Louis did not say a word as he watched Yuri open the door.

The door was still locked, and Yuri looked at him resignedly. "If I knew that you two had a fight yesterday, I wouldn't have brought Thea back. It seems like your mother is still angry."

In the past, only Old Master Crawford would chase Louis out of the house. Now, Susan was the one chasing him out, and she even locked the door. She even thought to herself how cruel she was.

Back in the day, if Louis got kicked out and went back before Old Master Crawford had calmed down, he would have just been scolded.

With Susan, he could not even enter his own home. Even Yuri was stuck outside with him.

Although this was his house, Susan regarded it as her territory. If Louis had upset her, she would drive him out all the same.

"Why don't we go to Crawford Manor?" Yuri said as she did not want to face an angry Susan.

It was not easy to talk to Susan when she was angry. If they really wanted to calm her down, it would probably have to involve money.

It was either bags or jewelry. However, they had just renovated their home, so they were tight on money.

"My phone and identification cards are inside. Even my laptop with important files is in there, and there aren't any backups at the office." Louis was growing impatient. He could go to Crawford Manor or even buy a new temporary phone, but the important documents were urgent.

No matter what, he still had to go in and get them because of his job.

“You shouldn't have upset her, then. I'll make a call." Yuri knew that she had to go in or else Louis would be in big trouble.

"Sure." Louis stood by the car and waited for her to make the call.

Yuri called Susan, and after a while, she rolled her eyes. "She hung up on me."

"Call her again," said Louis.

Yuri had no choice but to call again, and this time, Susan answered.

"Mom, this is Yuri. Why is the door at home locked?" She pretended to be clueless and asked Susan.

"You're back?" Susan did not explain why the door was locked.

"Yes, I'm at the door, but it's locked. I can't get in." Yuri glanced at Louis, who looked helpless.

Louis was already a grown man, yet Susan kicked him out because she was upset. If others found out, his dignity would be lost.

She had heard of married men being kicked out of their homes by their wives, but she had never heard of married men being kicked out of their homes by their mothers.

Now that Louis had angered Susan, she had to suffer with him.

"I got it." After uttering those three words, Susan hung up the call.

Louis noticed Yuri putting the phone away, so he asked, "So?"

"She'll probably come to open the door now. Please tell me what you did to upset her," asked Yuri as she had to know what had happened if she was going to calm Susan down.

Thus, Louis told her about what happened last night.

Yuri frowned. She knew that someone was trying to buy out Louis' company.

Since the company was doing well and people were seeing its potential, she wanted to seize the opportunity to transfer the business to someone else. However, Louis did not agree, so she did not continue pestering him about it.

Yuri hoped that Louis would work at T Corporation. Besides, being the vice president of T Corporation was much more impressive than being the CEO of his own company. However, she respected his wishes.

"You shouldn't have let mother find out about that," she said with a hint of disapproval.

Susan wanted Louis to return to T Corporation more than she did. If she found out that someone was willing to take over Louis' company, she would definitely persuade Louis to let it go and go back to T Corporation.

"Who knew that she'd be outside my study, eavesdropping on my conversation with my assistant?" Louis was helpless. If he had known Susan was snooping around, he would not have placed his phone aside and talked about work-related things on speakerphone.

There was nothing Yuri could do as Susan had developed the habit of eavesdropping after she moved here. No matter how many times they confronted her about it, it was no use.

She wanted to tell Louis that he should be more careful, but the door opened just then.

It was not Susan who opened the door for the couple but the maid. The maid had watched as Susan drove Louis out of the house yesterday, but she could not do anything about it.

Thus, she had no choice but to listen when Susan asked her to lock the door.

If Susan had not told her to open the door just now, she would not have dared to open it.

“Good morning, Mr. Louis and Ms. Dunn," said the maid.

“Have you been home the whole time?” Yuri frowned. She thought that Louis could not enter because the maid was not there.

"Yes." The maid nodded.

"Then why didn't you open the door for Mr. Louis?"

"Madam said not to let Mr. Louis enter, so..." The maid did not continue.

"Forget it, let's go in." Yuri looked at Louis. She could tell that Susan was furious this time because she would not have kept the door locked for so long otherwise.

"Okay." Louis felt embarrassed, but it was a good thing it was just in front of his family and not in front of his friends. Hence, it did not matter.

He lowered his head and walked inside. When he got to the garden, he stopped to wait for Yuri to park the car before they went in together.

Yuri noticed Louis waiting for her in the garden after driving inside to park the car. "Why aren't you going in?"

"Come with me." Louis never imagined that he would find himself in such a situation.

When he was kicked out of the house by Old Master Crawford, Susan would feel sorry for him. If he had to stay outside and wait for the old man to calm down, Susan would bring him whatever he needed.

At that time, he never would have thought that he would one day be kicked out by the person who loved him the most—his mother.

How embarrassing. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"I never thought that a fearless man like you would be afraid of your angry mother." Yuri had no choice but to walk inside with him.

However, Susan was not in the living room.

Louis was relieved.

Yuri turned around to ask the maid, "Where's Madam Susan?"

"She should be in her room right now," said the maid.

"Alright." Yuri turned around and urged Louis, saying, "Quickly go get your things while Mom is still in her room before you get chased out again with empty hands."

"Okay." Louis hurried into his room as provoking Susan right now was the last thing he wanted to do.
