Old Master Crawford shook his head and said, “How boring. I guess I'll have to wait for Luke to come over on New Year's Eve to play chess with me."

Mr. Griffin smiled. Luke was the only one in this family who could play chess with Old Master Crawford.

Old Master Crawford spoke again, "Give me my phone. I'd better figure out what the woman Allison brought back here is up to."

"Old Master Crawford, wait a minute." Mr. Griffin headed to Old Master Crawford's bedroom, picked up his phone, and handed it to him.

Old Master Crawford called Luke.

After a while, Luke answered the call, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"I heard that Allison brought someone else back with her? Isn't she the interpreter you hired?" Old Master Crawford asked.

"The interpreter is still in Seoul. She's not planning to come back." Luke paused for a moment and said, "That woman is one of the personal nurses from the plastic surgery hospital."

"Why did she bring a personal nurse back here?" Old Master Crawford could not understand why Allison did that.

"I'm not sure," answered Luke. He confirmed the woman's identity after he asked the interpreter in Seoul. She was the personal nurse who was close with Allison.

"Fine. I don't want anything to do with her matters. You're her son. Do as you see fit," said Old Master Crawford. Although Allison was acting strangely, he had no interest in finding out about her matters.

"Okay," replied Luke.

Old Master Crawford asked again, "Oh, will you come back here on New Year's Eve?"

"Mr. Griffin has already informed me," replied Luke.

"Ask Luca to come along too. She's alone here without any family or relatives. Bring her here so we can celebrate the new year together," said Old Master Crawford. Although Luca was not thinking of getting married to Luke yet, Old Master Crawford was very fond of her. That was why he thought of asking her to come along.

"I mentioned it to her. She rejected my offer." Luke paused for a moment and said, "Let's not ask her if she's reluctant to go over. I don't think New Year's this year will be as good as the previous years either."
