Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3290 A Bunch Of Good-For-Nothings!

Susan glared at her. "You're always using the child as an excuse. Now that the Crawford family and the Mallory family are on good terms, why don't you go chat with Mrs. Mallory? The others might think you don't like her!"

Yuri was getting frustrated. She had no desire to talk to Nina, and she was afraid it would look like she was trying to suck up to her.

She nudged Louis with her elbow.

Louis had been chatting with Luke and Percy, but after his wife nudged him, he turned to look at her.

Yuri shot him a look, signaling for him to deal with Susan.

Louisunderstood, but there was nothing he could do.

If only he could actually deal with Susan...

Susan's stubbornness was something no one could handle.

"You both are a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Susan noticed their glances at each other and got really upset.

She was doing this for their own good!

Louis was so insistent on running his own company, was he not? If they could form a good relationship with the Mallory family, it would benefit his business.

Also, even if he returned to T Corporation one day, it would still help.

How could Yuri not see that?

Louis ignored her and went back to chatting with Percy.

Occasionally, Old Master Crawford would join in on their conversation.

Meanwhile, Yuri continued feeding Thea. The only person sitting in awkward silence was Susan.

She wanted to be engaged in conversation, but even Yuri could not be bothered to talk to her, let alone anyone else.

Susan felt out of place. She was part of this family, but she had somehow turned into an outsider. How did that even happen?

Luckily, the awkwardness did not last long. After a while, Mr. Griffin came over and announced, "Old Master Crawford, lunch is ready."

"Good." Old Master Crawford nodded. With Mr. Griffin's help, he rose to his feet. "Today is the day my god-granddaughter visited home after her wedding. Even though we're not doing a full banquet, I still had the hotel's chef come over to prepare a meal.

"So, consider this a feast. Shall we all head to the dining room?"

"Sounds good," replied Luke. He stood up and took Luca's hand. The others followed suit, making their way to the dining room.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The long dining table they usually ate at had been replaced by a round one, symbolizing

reunion.

The chef had prepared ten dishes, and each one was made to the highest standards.

Once again, Nina felt touched by the Crawford family's thoughtfulness.

She exchanged glances with Percy.

She never thought she would experience the full traditional wedding customs, but Old Master Crawford had made sure she did.

After the old master took his seat, everyone else followed suit.

Susan looked around and noticed that everyone had a partner. Old Master Crawford even had Mr. Griffin by his side to assist him. She was the only one sitting alone, and a sense of loneliness crept over her again.

If only Zachary had not cheated.

If he had not cheated, he might not have gotten into that car accident.

There would not be anyone trying to take her son's place as the heir.

The Crawford family would be smaller but definitely much happier and more united than it was now.

As she thought about this on such a joyous day, her eyes reddened. Over the years, she had suffered so much because of Zachary's affair. She had to endure countless hardships and heartache.

She could have been the respected lady of the Crawford family, but instead, she had to share her title with another woman and fight for what should have been hers alone...

Susan's heart was full of resentment.

Luca, who was sitting diagonally across from her, noticed her expression and whispered to Luke, "Madam Crawford doesn't look quite right."

Thanks to her reminder, Luke glanced over at Susan.

Her eyes were red. Was she about to cry?

Crying at a time like this would definitely upset Old Master Crawford.

However, there was not much Luke could do, so he pretended not to notice.

Meanwhile, the chef and the maids were bringing out one exquisite dish after another, filling the table with a feast that made everyone's mouth water.

Old Master Crawford smiled and said, "No need for formalities today, everyone. Just eat and drink to your heart's content."

Then, Mr. Griffin poured them all some red wine.

Old Master Crawford added, "It's a special day, but I don't want red wine. Go get me a bottle of whiskey."

Mr. Griffin advised, "Old Master, your health isn't suited for drinking whiskey."

"Why not?" Old Master Crawford, ever the stubbom man, insisted. "Red wine is for the

younger crowd. I'd like to have some whiskey."

"Grandpa, your health can't handle it," Luke chimed in, shutting down the old man's request.

Mr. Griffin shot Luke a grateful look. The old master was as stubborn as a mule. Without someone stepping in, he would have insisted on finishing a whole bottle of whiskey.

"My health is perfectly fine! You should all join me in drinking whiskey instead of that red stuff," Old Master Crawford said defiantly.

At that moment, Luca spoke up gently, "Old Master Crawford, drinking a glass of whiskey would undo a whole month's worth of your health regimen."

Old Master Crawford's eyes widened. "It's that serious?"

Luca nodded. "Yes. All the herbal medicine you've been taking and those nightly foot soaks you've been doing would be for nothing."

The old master immediately shook his head. "No way! Sticking to that health routine hasn't been easy. I'm not wasting all that effort."

He let out a sigh and added, "Fine. No whiskey, then."

After a pause, he asked, "But can I still have some red wine?"

"You can, just not too much," Luca replied with a smile.

Old Master Crawford let out a sigh of relief. At least he could still enjoy a little wine. It would have felt wrong not to drink anything on such a happy occasion.

With the whiskey issue resolved, everyone relaxed. They raised their glasses, toasted, and started enjoying the delicious meal.

While the Crawford family basked in a warm and joyful atmosphere, elsewhere, Anna and

Jean were frantically searching.

They were trying to figure out where Percy and Nina had gone.

Eventually, Jean got the information from an old drinking buddy. That friend worked as a waiter at a hotel. It was the very same hotel where Old Master Crawford had hired the chef.

The chef was the head chef at the hotel, so that guy knew why the Crawford family had hired him to cook

He told Jean, "Your sister and brother-in-law most likely went to visit the Crawford family."

"How do you know that?" asked Jean.

"My hotel's head chef went to cook for them. He even mentioned it the day before. He said the Crawford family hired him for a banquet and that it was for the old master's god-granddaughter.

"He joked about how it was the first time he'd ever heard of a god-granddaughter." He added, "I asked him who the god-granddaughter was, and he said she was the daughter-in -law of the Mallory family. So, it's probably your sister. Jean, since I gave you all this info, you gotta give me something in return, right?"

"Sure, I'll send you a gift," replied Jean. Then, he hung up.

Anna frowned and complained, "Why are you still spending money like that? You're not a boss anymore, and here you are handing out gifts. What are you thinking?"
