"Yes, Master Luke called last night and said he and his family will be coming back for dinner," replied Mr. Griffin with a smile on his face.

"Alright. Have the kitchen get ready," said Old Master Crawford. This would be the first family dinner after Luca revealed her true identity.

Even though Susan, Allison, and Louis and his family were not present, it was still considered a family feast. Old Master Crawford attached great importance to it.

"Don't worry, the cook and the maids went out early this morning to get the ingredients," assured Mr. Griffin. He knew how much Old Master Crawford prioritized this family gathering, and he had emphasized it to the cook when he informed her.

Knowing that Old Master Crawford paid a lot of attention to this, the cook would undoubtedly put in 200% effort to prepare tonight's family dinner.

"Good. Have the chauffeur prepare the car. I’d like to go to the park for a while," said Old Master Crawford as he rose to his feet.

"Yes," replied Mr. Griffin. Then, he went to notify the chauffeur.

Since Susan moved out, Old Master Crawford's life seemed to have suddenly become more relaxed. Even though it was already quite leisurely back then, having Susan around seemed to make him less relaxed.

Now, things were different. After Susan moved out of Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford became more relaxed. He often spent his mornings in the park nearby, practicing yoga and playing chess. He was enjoying a retired life like an ordinary elderly person. ...

As they were going to Crawford Manor for dinner, Luca told all the researchers to leave work on time, and she also left the office on time.

She did not head to Crawford Manor right away but returned home first as she and Luke had agreed. They would gather at home and then leave together.

When she got back to the villa, the three children had already returned from school. Nina had not come back yet.

Luca entered the living room and saw the three children doing their homework. Then, she asked, "Has Mr. Crawford returned home yet?"

Aunt Neile was still there. That was why she addressed Luke as Mr. Crawford.

Tommy shook his head. "Daddy hasn't come back yet, but Lanie sent him a message just now. He said he's on his way back."
