It was just a simple greeting, but Luca's face reddened.

What Old Master Crawford said made her recall what happened last night.

She wondered if Luke did it on purpose or if it was because she did not need to go to work today as it

was a Sunday... This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

When Old Master Crawford greeted her, she suddenly suspected whether he heard some strange

noises last night.

"What's wrong?" Old Master Crawford noticed Luca's reddened face and asked without thinking too

much, "Are you not feeling well?"

"It's nothing, Old Master Crawford. Did you have a good rest last night?" Luca asked carefully.

"I had a good night's sleep," replied Old Master Crawford cheerfully.

Luca saw his smile and thought it was another ambiguous hint, so her cheeks burned deeper.

"I'll go help Aunt Neile prepare breakfast.” Luca walked toward the kitchen.

Old Master Crawford felt that Luca was acting strange, so he asked Mr. Griffin, who was beside him,

"What's going on?"

Mr. Griffin smiled and replied, "I don't know, sir."

"You don't know anything..." Old Master Crawford picked up his teacup and took a sip. Luke did not

enjoy tea, so the quality of the tea leaves was good but not top-notch. He drank it without much of an

opinion.

"Did you sleep well?" the old master asked the butler again.

"I slept well, Old Master Crawford," answered Mr. Griffin. Although he stayed in the maid's room, the

decoration standards were high and similar to the main house, so it was comfortable sleeping there.

Old Master Crawford let out a sigh. "I always feel comfortable staying here. If it weren't inconvenient for

them, I'd like to continue staying here."

"Master Luke will be happy to have you here if you'd like to stay," said Mr. Griffin in a low voice. If Old

Master Crawford lived here, he would certainly stay here as well.

It was his duty to serve Old Master Crawford.

Moreover, Luke's place was comfortable, and the butler could not find any faults.

He knew Old Master Crawford was getting old. Even though he insisted that Louis and his family move

out, making it look like he was going to enjoy his retirement life alone, he was an elderly man.

How could he not yearn for the company of his family?

Old Master Crawford could enjoy such a life when he was in Luke's villa. That was why he felt

comfortable staying here.

After a while, the kids woke up and gathered around Old Master Crawford, chatting happily.

Surrounded by his great-grandchildren, Old Master Crawford's smile was brilliant, and he continued

chatting with the children.

Luca and Aunt Neile were done preparing breakfast, so the group walked to the dining table and

started eating.

"Ms. Luca, don't we need to call Ms. Nina?" Rainie did not see Nina and asked curiously.

"She likes to sleep in on weekends. There's no need to call her. I've already saved her portion for her,"

explained Luca as she handed out bread to the children.

She handed out the bread according to the kids' preferences. They happily took it and began eating.

"Where's Luke?" asked Old Master Crawford. Nina liked to sleep in on weekends, but Old Master

Crawford knew that Luke was not one to laze around.

"Mr. Crawford is having breakfast upstairs," replied Aunt Neile, carrying a tray upstairs.

"Why is he having breakfast upstairs?" Old Master Crawford looked at Luca with confusion.

"He has a lot of work to handle in the morning, so he's having breakfast upstairs,” answered Luca,

dispelling the old master's doubt. “That way, he can make the most of his time to deal with work

matters.”

When Old Master Crawford heard that, he felt that Luke had it tough.

When he was managing T Corporation, the company's scale was not as large as it was now, so the

workload was not as heavy either.

However, after Luke took over the management of the company, things changed significantly...

T Corporation rapidly expanded over the past decade. As the CEO, Luke had to deal with a lot more

responsibilities.

Moreover, Louis was not helping him manage T Corporation, so Luke had to handle everything on his

own.

"Lanie, you must share the workload with your father after you graduate." Old Master Crawford looked

affectionately at his great-grandson.

Lanie was having breakfast. When he heard Old Master Crawford say that, he nodded and replied,

"Great-grandpa, don't worry. I'll study hard, and when I graduate, I'll help Daddy manage the company."

He knew that his father was waiting for him to take over the management of the company. As the eldest

in the family, Lanie understood the weight of his responsibilities.

As Luca listened to Lanie, she could not help but marvel at his maturity.

Lanie was now Luke's successor, and as for Tommy...

Luca glanced at Tommy, who was happily eating his breakfast. She wondered about the responsibilities

he, as a member of the Crawford family, would have.

Rainie chimed in, "Great-grandpa, don't worry. Lanie is preparing to skip grades. If everything goes

smoothly, he'll take over Daddy's company several years earlier."

"Really?" Although Old Master Crawford did not know about this, he was not surprised.

Lanie was intelligent, and Old Master Crawford had known about it since he was a child.

Lanie's high intelligence was evident. The kindergarten teachers suggested sending him to primary

school many times, claiming that it was a waste of time for him to stay in kindergarten.

However, Luke wanted Lanie to accompany Rainie to school. With Lanie around, the other kids would

not dare to harm Rainie.

An elder brother had to protect his younger sister. Hence, Old Master Crawford agreed with Luke's

opinion and did not insist on having Lanie go to primary school.

He did not expect Luke to also change his mind after Luca returned.

It seemed like Luke was considering retiring sooner since his wife had come back.

"Yes, it’s true. If everything goes smoothly for Lanie, he can start high school earlier. By the time he

finishes college... No, wait, graduate? Ph.D.? Oh well, anyway, once Lanie’s done with school, he can

help Daddy to manage the company."

Rainie glanced at her elder brother and thought that he would definitely finish his studies quickly since

he was smart.

However, completing his studies would take a long time...

Especially since Lanie was a diligent learner, he might even go for a Ph.D.

Rainie had a lot on her mind, thinking that if Lanie got a Ph.D., it would take many years. Their father

would still need to work alone for many years before he could get some help.

Tommy also chimed in, "I want to get a Ph.D. too."

Rainie looked at her little brother and nodded. "You gotta work hard for that."

"I'm sure I can get a Ph.D. Even though I'm not as smart as Lanie, I'm still great. My teacher said I

could skip grades too, but Daddy said kids shouldn't think about that too much. All we need to do is to

build a strong foundation of knowledge," replied Tommy.

At this point, Old Master Crawford was genuinely surprised.

He knew Lanie was smart enough to skip grades, but Tommy too?

Since Luke had taken this little great-grandson under his wing, there were many things he did not

know.

Luke had not mentioned anything either...

"Tommy, do you want to manage the company when you grow up too?” Old Master Crawford asked

cheerfully.
