Chapter 3428 She’s Not In A City

"As long as what Lanie wants to do isn't illegal, I'll support him." Old Master Crawford rose to his feet with the help of his cane after saying that.

He had known all along Allison would not have come here for anything important.

This conversation was so dull.

If it were not for her pestering Lanie with questions, Old Master Crawford would have pretended he did not know she was here and let her do whatever she wanted.

The three kids had overheard the whole conversation between their great- grandfather and grandmother around the corner of the stairs.

Once they sensed that the discussion was wrapping up, Lanie made a hand gesture to his younger siblings.

Rainie and Tommy understood the gesture and nodded, following their brother upstairs.

Lanie waited until he was sure no one downstairs could hear them before asking, "Why were you two eavesdropping?"

"You were listening in, so why couldn't we?" Tommy grinned. He understood most of what they had talked about. What interested him more was what was coming next. "Lanie, do you want to study medicine?"

"No," Lanie quickly denied it. "I just wanted to learn some basic medical knowledge, that's all. Plus, those children's books are boring."

"Lanie has never liked children's books. He's usually either reading business books or medical books. That's totally normal," added Rainie. She knew exactly what Lanie meant since they were twins and often thought alike.

"Oh, I thought from what Grandma said that you really wanted to study medicine!" muttered Tommy. "Adults are so complicated. They never express themselves, so it's easy to get confused. And that Ms. Thomas, she actually wants to be Daddy's woman? How shameless!"

Lanie and Rainie exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Tommy was still so young, yet he could see through the adults' issues so clearly. "How do you know all this?" asked Lanie.

"Is it that hard to figure out? She's someone who has nothing to do with our family, yet she said stuff like that. Plus, didn't she try to climb into Dad's bed during New Year's? But Dad doesn't like her at all," mumbled Tommy.

"I'm not dumb. I know what's going on with the adults, but since Dad didn't show any interest in her, I didn't say anything. Otherwise, I would've gone and told you."

Rainie let out a chuckle. "I didn't know our little Tommy was such a clever one. With you watching, that woman won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"Of course! I'm awesome!" Tommy puffed out his chest proudly, waiting for his brother's and sister's praise.
