"I'm not available." Luke rejected her with a cold voice. Although she was his mother, Luke and she hated each other.

Perhaps she had an ulterior motive seeing as how she insisted Luke go over for dinner.

Allison was pissed when she heard Luke giving her such a cold response, so she threatened him, “Fine. You're not coming, right? Then I'll go back to Crawford Manor. If Old Master Crawford asks about it, I'll tell him the truth.”

Although Old Master Crawford was mad at her for fighting with Susan on New Year's Eve, what he did not want to see the most was his children and grandchildren not respecting their elders.

It was a sin to disrespect their elders.

Luke was not afraid of Allison even if she used Old Master Crawford to threaten him.

However, if Allison truly did this, the old master would have to endure the noise and trouble she caused. It was not easy for them to come up with an excuse to let her leave Crawford Manor. If she seized the chance to return so that she could complain about Luke and also spend the night there...

Luke replied, "Not today. I'll go tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Come for dinner, then. I'm probably still in bed around noon time," said Allison. She always woke up late, and it would be convenient for Sophian to do things at night too.

"Okay." Luke hung up the call.

The three kids who were sitting in the backseat of the car heard their conversation.

Rainie carefully asked, "Daddy, we don't have to go back, right?"

"Daddy, I don't want to go to Grandma's place. You can go alone," Tommy said straightforwardly, expressing his hatred for Allison.

He was different from Lanie and Rainie.

Allison had taken care of Lanie and Rainie. Hence, they were closer to her. However, Allison's face was too scary now, and that was why Rainie was reluctant to go near her.

Bianca had been taking care of Tommy since he was born. After Allison thought something happened to Luke, she no longer pretended to be a good daughter-in-law. She moved out of Crawford Manor. That was why he was not close with his grandmother.
