Chapter 3178 Did You Arrange This On Purpose?

“Listen carefully, I'm not going to repeat myself. I'm not going back to work at T Corporation, and I'm not moving back home. You'd better give up on that idea," repeated Louis.

Susan, trembling with anger, replied, "Louis, have you considered that I’m your mother? I’m not young anymore. What if something happens to me in the villa and you're not around-"

Louis interrupted her, "You're my mother, so of course, | won't ignore you. As long as you stop frantically trying to find me like before, I'll unblock your phone number. Besides, there's a live-in maid at home. If one isn't enough, I'll hire two more to take care of you.

“If anything happens, the maids will inform me immediately," explained Louis. He never intended to leave Susan alone in the villa.

Susan was not young anymore. He would feel more at ease with two more maids looking after her. Plus, his company was doing well, so hiring a couple more maids was no big deal.

"Fine, if you're not coming back, then don't ever come back. I'm laying it out right now, Louis, you have until this weekend to move back. If you don't, don't come to me with any of your problems. | also won't need your help with mine any longer!"

Susan stood up abruptly.

She wanted to throw something, but this was Luke's house. She could not afford to lose her temper here, at least not in front of Luke.

With this in mind, she left with a gloomy expression without waiting for Louis' response. She did not care to wait either. She knew that if she forced an answer out of him now, it would undoubtedly be a negative one... Leaving would give him time to think.

Yet, for some reason, this tactic, which had always worked before, now made her feel uneasy. She sensed that Louis might not comply with her wishes this time.

Susan used to want to move back to Crawford Manor, but that was in the past. Back then, she did not want to interfere with Louis' life.

Now, after this confrontation, she no longer wanted to move back to Crawford Manor. She just wanted Louis to come home. Only then could everything be resolved. Susan left with a grim look on her face. Louis wanted to refuse outright as he was determined not to move back this time.

However, he realized that if he rejected her now, she might get even more emotional and cause a scene in front of all these people. There were many people out there. He did not want a family matter to ruin the atmosphere. If his mother had an outburst in front of everyone, it would indeed be embarrassing.

Therefore, Louis kept silent. After Susan left, he finally stood up.

Aunt Neile came out of the kitchen. She let out a sigh of relief when she noticed that the living room was still intact and that Susan had not broken anything.

Then, she went back to the kitchen, finding it awkward to have witnessed the mother and son arguing. If she said anything to Louis, it would probably make him feel even more uncomfortable, so staying in the kitchen was best.

Susan left the house with a scowl. As she walked to the front yard, the smell of barbecue mixed with the aroma of wine and drinks bombarded her senses.

She had been eagerly waiting for the evening since she heard from the maid that Louis would come.

Her impatience affected her appetite, and she had not eaten much all day. Now, the delicious aroma stimulated her sense of smell and made her feel a sudden pang of hunger.

She could almost hear her body shouting, "Sit down and eat!"

However, in the end, she did not. She let out a cold snort and walked away without greeting anyone. She held her head high and left.

She had the posture of a victor. Nina saw Susan and murmured, "I have to say, she's so much like Percy's mother..."

Luca shook her head helplessly when she heard what Nina said. Susan and Karen were similar in many ways. They shared the same experiences. That was why their personalities were so alike, which was understandable.

Not long after Susan left, Louis came out. Even though he looked composed, it was evident to others that he was a bit frustrated. Luke pointed at his plate and said, "Luca grilled some more for you. Eat up."

"And this, | grilled it for you too. It's not burnt. Looks good, right?" Percy handed him another piece of meat.Content © copyrighted by .

"Thanks." Louis tried to muster some energy, but he still felt deflated.

"Did you get everything sorted out?" Luke asked as he sat down.

"We talked it through, but she didn't seem to get it," replied Louis in a low voice with a bitter smile on his face. Susan seemed stuck in the past, always using the same tactics to pressure him despite everything he had said.

Louis was exasperated. He truly did not want to give in to her demands anymore.

Why could she not be like Allison?

Allison had a comfortable life with a generous monthly allowance. She lived alone in a villawithou uecia Master'Sréwtord's interference. She was free to do as she pleased without anyone giving her a hard time. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!

Louis thought that kind of life would be perfect for Susan, but she did not seem to think so.

"Take it slow," said Luke. He knew it was not his place to offer more specific advice.

Susan and Allison seemed alike, but they had their differences. Since they were different mothers, it would be best not to offer each other advice when it came to dealing with these matters.

It would be best to go with the flow of each other's thoughts.

“Luke, did you arrange this on purpose?" Louis suddenly asked.

How else could Susan have known he was here or gotten in so easily? It had to be Luke's doing.

Even though Luke would not tell Susan these things, he had his way of making sure she found out.

Seeing how smart his brother was, Luke nodded and replied, "Yes."

"You're really..." Louis was not angry and just let out a bitter laugh. ‘You owe me a couple of bottles of wine for this.” “Pick whatever you like,” Luke replied nonchalantly. He did not mind at all.

Louis was his younger brother, so even if he emptied the wine cellar, it would not be a problem.

"But can you tell me why you did this? You're not usually the type to a dle in these matters: g:' adda duis? He underst that Luke's intention was to help him and his mother patch things up. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!

However, Louis was unwilling to move back while Susan insisted he do so. With their differing perspectives, there was no way to find a resolution- unless one of them compromised.

Previously, Louis was the one to compromise, but this time, he did not want to. He was puzzled as Luke typically did not interfere in such affairs, so why now?

"I'm helping Grandpa solve this problem," replied Luke in a calm, voice. He took Ka-bite\cfdneat and z a sip Of his Ans The flavors mingled in his mouth, and he squinted his eyes in contentment. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!
