I'm pregnant Sir Behave Yourself by Daphne

Chapter 775 Those Heavy Footsteps Outside

As night fell, Luke drove back to Crawford Manor.

When he stepped into the living room, he saw his mother and Maxine sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing.

There was a hint of displeasure in Luke's eyes, but he did not say anything. Instead, he quickly stepped around them and headed toward the stairs.

Old Master Crawford noticed his grandson and stopped him from leaving. "Why are you back so early today, Luke?"

Luke stopped walking and nodded toward his grandfather. "I'm here to pick up a few things, and I'll be leaving soon."

"Mother," he greeted Allison coldly. He did not even look at Maxine sitting next to his mother.

Allison was disgruntled when her son barely noticed her, but she was angry when he totally ignored Maxine. Maxine's face flashed with awkwardness, but she did not say anything.

The caretaker came into the living room and told Old Master Crawford, "Dinner is ready, Sir."

Allison immediately said, "It's rare that you come back, my son. How about you stay and have dinner with your grandfather? There's salmon today. It's your favorite. There's also..."

"The one who likes salmon is Bianca, Mother," Luke retorted without hesitation. "She's not here because she's busy today. We'll have dinner together when I bring her back home."

Allison was at a loss against her son's retort. Her expression changed from frustration, to anger, then to helplessness. "You..."

Her son had been completely bewitched by that seductress. His relationship with his mother had become distant ever since he married Bianca, and they were barely on speaking terms. She did not understand why her son would be so silly.

Allison held Maxine's hand and glared at Luke. "Luke, why was Maxine's internship application rejected? Is it because of Bianca Rayne? Maxine is your cousin. It won't be too troublesome for her to do her internship at T Corporation, right? Maxine is talented and capable. It'll be an honor for T Corporation to have her..."

Maxine bit her lip, and her tender face blushed. "Don't say that, Aunt Allison. It's my fault that I'm not good enough for T Corporation, or maybe I'm unlucky. I should work harder..."
