"Yes, sir.” The maid heard what the old master said with a puzzled look on her face. It was only when he reminded her that she remembered she still had something to hand to Luke.

She handed the bag to Luke and said, “Master Luke, Old Master Crawford wants you to bring this back.”

"What is it?" Luke took it, opened the bag, and glanced inside. It was a cardboard container that seemed to contain seafood.

"I noticed Luca enjoyed the European lobster last night. She said the taste was delicate, and since we had some at home, I had the maid pack some for you to take back. Let Selina cook it for you all," said Old Master Crawford. The person he mentioned was Aunt Neile.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Luke remembered Luca did enjoy it yesterday, so he accepted it.

On the other hand, Luca felt a bit embarrassed when she heard what the old master said. While the European lobster had a delicate taste and tender texture, it was indeed expensive.

The fact that the old master asked them to take it back while Susan was still picking faults with them made Luca feel it was not the best timing.

Although the Crawford family was wealthy, Susan was petty. Giving expensive seafood as a gift might not sit well with her.

Even though refusing the gift might seem contrary to Luke thanking him, considering the family's harmony, Luca gently said, "Old Master Crawford, it's okay. You should keep it and enjoy it for yourself."

Susan secretly let out a cold snort. Before she could say anything, Old Master Crawford declined. "Bring it back. You and the kids enjoy it. Just take it. An old man like me can't eat much at home. It'll go to waste."

The old master's words stabbed at Susan's heart.

Who was he to say he could not eat it alone? Did she not just come back today? Moreover, she was planning to stay for dinner. She felt completely ignored by the old master at this moment.

Luke's kids were fond of the lobster, and they could have it since they liked it. Her precious granddaughter enjoyed lobster too. "Father, Thea loves it too.”

Old Master Crawford rolled his eyes at her as his wrinkles deepened. "Louis got kicked out by you, and Thea doesn't live with you either. If she wants to eat it, I'll have someone deliver it to her another day."
