Luca could not help but chuckle at the thought.

Luke was very busy, so she waited patiently for all the guests to leave. Once he was done, Luke walked over to her.

Beside him, Susan was sporting a huge frown on her face.

Her expression was filled with distaste when she watched Luke's retreating figure.

“Mother, I'll go and pay the hotel the rest of the fees." Louis watched the guests leave and decided to pay the outstanding figure.

"All you have in mind is matters like this. You're really going to infuriate me to death one day." Susan looked at him with disappointment.

Louis had also stood at the door to wave the guests off, but there were considerably fewer people who wanted to talk to Louis than those who wanted to talk to Luke. In fact, Louis' presence at the door did not seem to make any difference at all, since everyone only wanted to talk to Luke.

Her birthday celebration had easily become Luke's banquet.

Louis saw how Old Master Crawford was still within earshot and whispered, "Why are you angry again, Mother?"

He did not understand what his mother was dissatisfied with considering everything had already gone according to her standards.

"Can you not tell why I'm angry? You're both Crawfords, yet Luke's the one being surrounded by everyone else. What about you, hmm? Today is my birthday, not Allison's birthday!" Susan was disappointed at the fact that Louis did not even show the desire to mingle when the crowd swarmed Luke. Instead, her son continued to wave the other guests off with a smile.

She did not understand why her son was so hopeless in comparison.

Louis was no stranger to comments like this. He usually responded with a smile and some consolation.
