Louis nodded. He understood the undertone of Luke's words.

Luke was telling him not to be concerned about borrowing less from him and spending all his cash on this jewelry set as it would affect his family.

"Brother, don't worry. I know what to do," replied Louis. He would not let his family suffer just to satisfy Susan, especially Thea. He needed to spend a lot of money on her now.

"It's getting late. Get some rest." Luke patted Louis' shoulder and left the balcony.

Louis watched Luke leave from behind. Luke had always been taking up responsibilities since he was a little boy. Until now, Luke was still the well-qualified big brother in Louis' heart.

Louis recalled that when he was still young, the relatives of the Crawford family were unhappy that Allison brought Luke back home. They often spoke ill about the mother and son in front of him. They even told him that he had to be better than Luke. Otherwise, they would lose everything they had.

Although he was not as outstanding as Luke was now, he was living the life he wanted. Besides, he did not lose everything because of it.

The brothers got along pretty well.

Louis smiled at the thought of what Pierre told him two days ago. He had tried to make mischief between him and Luke. At this moment, he thanked Luke while watching him leave from behind.

Louis thanked Luke for being willing to be his brother.

Luke did not return to his bedroom immediately after he left the balcony. He headed to the guest room instead.

This was the guest room that Old Master Crawford had asked the maid to clean for Luca to spend the night here.

Luke pondered for a moment and knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Luca's voice came from the other side of the door.

“It's me,” said Luke.

No sound came from the room after that. A few seconds later, the bedroom door was opened. Luca was in her pajamas, and she stood at the door to ask, “Mr. Crawford, can I help you?”

"Am I only allowed to talk to you when I have instructions for you?” Luke asked.

Luca felt a little awkward. She always had this feeling that Luke seemed to be dissatisfied with something else. She shook her head immediately, "No, I didn't mean that...”
