Chapter 951 Setting a Bad Example for Their Daughter

"Louis is quite egoistic. We shouldn't interfere in his family matters." Louis took the book from Rainie's hands and underlined the difficult words. 1

He and Louis were brothers, and they knew each other's personalities well.

Bianca nodded. She sat next to Rainie and listened to her read.

In Louis's bedroom on the second floor, Yuri hugged Thea and gently coaxed her.

The little girl was crying miserably in Yuri's arms. Her huge eyes were blurred with tears, which made people pity her.

"Alright, don't cry. I'll buy a ballet dress for you." Yuri was angry after hearing what her daughter said.

Louis was inferior to Luke in every aspect. He could not even afford a custom-made ballet dress for her daughter.

'Our daughter wouldn’t want something that Rainie can't wear, you good-for -nothing!' She cursed in her heart as she listened to the heart-rending sobs of her daughter.

"Mommy, I want a better dress than Rainie's dress." Thea did not want to be outdone.

"Of course. Your dress will be better than Rainie's best dress. You're the true granddaughter of the Crawford family," Yuri said. Her daughter would be better than Rainie.

Luke was the son of his father's mistress. He could not be considered a true Crawford.

Yuri had just finished speaking when she saw Louis enter the bedroom. Her expression instantly sank.

Louis did not look too pleasant either. He shot a glance at his wife and daughter, then opened the closet and took out a set of bedding and pillows.

Yuri instantly stood up and put Thea down. "Are you sleeping in the guest room?"

Louis would sleep in the guest room every time he faced a setback. It was his sixth time this month sleeping in the guest room.

The servants were already gossiping about it, wondering if there was something wrong in the couple's relationship.

"Mm," Louis replied.

Yuri stood in front of the door. "You can't go. Who do you think I am? Do you think you can sleep anywhere you want depending on your mood?"

Louis's expression sank a little. He stood there, glaring icily at the obstacle who stood in his way.

Yuri began to panic when she saw the coldness in Louis's gaze.

Since when did her husband become like that?

She grabbed the bedding from Louis's hands and threw it on the floor. "You can't sleep in the guest room tonight. Sleep here! You are my husband, not my pillow friend!"

The bedding fell on the floor. Louis clenched his fists tightly. He did not hit women, but Yuri's tantrums repeatedly challenged his principles.

"Waaah!" Thea, who was standing behind them, bawled loudly out of fright.

Louis's frigid expression warmed up a little. He turned around and hugged Thea.

Thea fell into his arms. "Don't be angry, Daddy, don't ignore me."

Seeing his daughter like that, Louis was not in the mood to argue with Yuri. He carried her, sat down on the couch, and coaxed her softly, "I won't ignore you." "I don't want to learn ballet anymore, Daddy. I don't want the ballet dress anymore. Don't blame Mommy, it's all my fault. Don't leave, Daddy." Thea grabbed Louis's shirt tightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving. Good girl, Thea," he coaxed her while staring at Yuri at the door.

She was afraid that Louis would leave, so she did not step away from the door.

Thea was only a small child. What would she know?

Louis was angry that Yuri had taught Thea to say such things.

He coaxed Thea patiently until she stopped crying and fell asleep in his arms.

Even though she was asleep, her hands continued to grab Louis's shirt tightly.

Louis's heart wrenched when he could see that she was insecure.

He carried Thea and placed her in the middle of the bed, while he slept close to the edge, indicating his rejection with his distance.

The next morning, Bianca, Luke, and the children went downstairs.

Louis and Thea were already sitting at the dining table waiting for breakfast. Yuri was nowhere to be seen.

Bianca could guess that something must have happened between Louis and Yuri the night before, so she did not ask where Yuri was. Instead, she smiled and greeted everyone at the table.

The children also greeted everyone.

Rainie did not eat much during breakfast.

Louis was concerned. "You're not eating your breakfast, Rainie. What happened? You're a growing girl, and you should eat more.” "I have a performance later today, Uncle Louis, so I shouldn't overeat. Don't worry. Mommy prepared some toast for me. I'll eat it after my performance, " Rainie explained.

Louis slapped his forehead. "Right, you have a performance today! Thea, do you want to see Rainie's performance?" "No." Thea bore some resentment toward Rainie. If Rainie had not been around the night before, her parents would not have argued.

Fortunately, she remembered what her mother taught her and managed to keep her father in the room.

Louis remembered what Thea told him the night before while she was crying. He thought that it was a pity for her to give up ballet just because of the dress.

As her father, Louis wanted to see Thea dancing elegantly on the stage and receive applause from the audience.

He gently pinched Thea's cheek. "It's rare that Rainie gets to perform. Shall we go and watch it together?"

He hoped that Rainie’s performance could make Thea interested in ballet.

Thea thought for a while and remembered that her father was giving her mother the cold shoulder. "Is Mommy going?"

Louis's smile froze a little. He knew that Yuri would not go because she was not interested in ballet.

Seeing her father not speaking, Thea continued, "I won't go unless both you and Mommy go with me." "Alright. I'll ask your Mommy if she wants to go," Louis coaxed her.

After breakfast, Bianca went upstairs to get Rainie's ballet dress.

Luke walked behind her and told her the upcoming schedule, "We'll send Lanie to school, then we'll go to the ballet theater." "Isn't Lanie going with us?" Bianca was surprised.

"He changed his mind. He said that he didn't want to miss out on the Latin class at school today." Luke did not force his son to go. After all, he could tell that Lanie was not very interested in ballet.

"Alright." Bianca turned around and packed Lanie's backpack. She was not going to stop her son from studying.

Meanwhile, Louis brought Thea along and asked Yuri if she wanted to go to Rainie's performance.

Yuri was not interested, but she thought that reconciling with Louis was more important, so she decided to temporarily ignore her dissatisfaction toward Luke's family and go to the performance.Property © .
