Chapter 1023 Guilty

The next day, which happened to be Saturday, Bianca went to pick up a fancy fruit basket. After

returning to the manor, she set off to Allison's residence with Luke.

In the car, Tommy muttered, "Daddy, Mommy, you promised to take me to the amusement park.

Why are we going to Grandma's house?"

The plan to take the kids to the amusement park was put on hold for a while because of Luke and

Bianca's busy schedules.

Fortunately, Tommy was an understanding and considerate child. He was just a little emotional

because he had been waiting for so long.

Bianca and Luke looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, "Are you going to work

tomorrow?”

"No," Luke replied.

"Should we go to the amusement park tomorrow?" Bianca discussed it with him.

"Sounds good." Luke agreed. It was worth taking a day off to spend it with his family.

Bianca looked at Tommy, who was puffing out his cheeks. He was grumpy from being woken up

earlier and at them for not keeping their promise. She smiled and coaxed him, saying, "Tommy, let's

go tomorrow, okay?"

"Mommy, really? You're not lying to me?" Tommy opened his eyes and grinned. It was easy to coax

kids out of their bad moods.

"I'm not lying. We'll go to the amusement park tomorrow," Bianca said. Although it was not the best

timing, Luke and Bianca did not want their children to wait too long.

As parents, they had to lead by example.

Tommy clapped his hands happily and said, "You're the best parents ever!"

Bianca turned her head and glanced at the side of the road. They were five minutes away from the

mansion where Allison lived.

"When you see Grandma later, please greet her and don't touch anything, okay?" Bianca told the

child.

Allison displayed obsessive-compulsive traits and was very sensitive about others touching her

belongings without her permission.

"We will, Mom." Blanche and Rainie agreed to her request.

After the car arrived in front of Allison's mansion, Luke got out of the car and pressed the doorbell.

It was Elsa who answered the door. Her heart was beating like a drum when she saw Luke standing

at the entrance. "Mr. Crawford, are you here to see Madam Allison?"

"Yes, is she here?" Luke took a step back and looked at Elsa with a calm expression.

He was a little surprised that Allison would hire such a young woman to serve her. She had always

been reluctant to admit the fact that she was getting old, so the people she hired were all middle-

aged people as they made her seem younger in contrast.

"Yes, she’s here. Come in!" Elsa looked at Luke fanatically and thought that he looked much more

handsome in real life!

She opened the gate so that his car could get in.

Luke sat in the driver's seat, drove into the mansion, and stopped in the parking lot.

Bianca helped the kids out of the car. Only then did Elsa realize that Luke's wife had come along

with him

Elsa felt jealous when she saw Bianca's delicate and elegant features. “This woman is living a good

life. She's good-looking and married such an astonishing man.’

"Sir, Madam, Madam Allison is having breakfast now. Please follow me.” Elsa put away her emotions,

took the gifts they were holding, and walked in front to lead the way.

Tommy hopped around while holding Bianca's hand. When he saw more of the luxurious mansion,

he said, "Mommy, Grandma lives in such a big mansion by herself. Isn't she afraid?"

"Shhh." Bianca made a gesture to Tommy to signal him to keep quiet.

This was her first time in Allison's mansion, which was larger and more luxurious than the one where

the family lived.

When everyone thought that Luke had an accident, Allison took the money that Luke allocated for

her and bought this mansion. Bianca also heard rumors that Allison went into a bidding war for this

mansion and ended up spending a lot of money.

Bianca knew that it was not her place to say anything. After all, the money did belong to Allison.

Tommy took the hint and stopped talking.

Elsa walked into the dining room, smiled, and said, "Madam, your son and daughter-in-law have

come to visit you."

Allison panicked the instant she heard that Luke and Bianca were here. She asked, "Why are they

here?"

Elsa saw her panicked look and was confused. She replied, "They're in the living room now. Madam,

your grandchildren are so beautiful.”

She was telling the truth. She rarely saw children as adorable.

Allison was upset and overwhelmed with guilt. When Luke visited in the past without prompt, she

used to be overjoyed. However, considering that there were a lot of antiques hidden in her mansion

at that moment, she wanted the family to stay as far away as possible.

She waved her hand and said, "Put these away."

"Yes, Madam." Elsa immediately put away the plates on the table.

Allison walked to the living room and looked at Luke and Bianca with a blank expression. Her tone

was sharp as she said, "Aren't you busy? Why are you free to drop by today?"

Bianca explained with a smile, "Mother-in-law, Luke bought you a fruit basket. It has your favorite

cherries."

"I don't need it." Allison was still expressionless, but she was extremely flustered on the inside. She

was forcing herself to hold her cool.

Bianca was surprised at this change in attitude from Allison.

Rainie and Blanche looked at each other. They said sweetly, "Grandma, we missed you so much.”

While Allison looked at the children’s cute faces, she was still thinking about the antiques. Although

they were locked in a safe and Luke was probably not aware of it, she just could not calm herself

down. Hence, she covered her forehead with her hand and pretended to be sick. "I'm not feeling

well today. If you have nothing else to talk about, please leave.”

Seeing that Allison was not willing to back down, Bianca looked at Luke helplessly. This was possibly

the angriest Bianca had ever seen her.

She had put in the effort to get Luke to come over and make peace, but Allison's attitude was so...

Luke put his hands in his pockets and looked at Allison who was acting abnormally. He asked, "You

took the box that Dad left, right?"

"Yes," Allison replied subconsciously.

When Zachary Crawford left, he had left a box for Luke. There was nothing valuable in it. There were

just some of his personal items inside.

When Allison moved out of Crawford Manor, she had taken the box with her.

"l want to have it," Luke said.

Allison was a little impatient and replied, "It's in the study. There's nothing in that box, why do you

want to take it?"

"He left it for me." Luke headed straight upstairs.

Allison realized that the safe was in the study when Luke was already walking up the stairs. She

stomped her feet and was angry at herself for forgetting such an important thing.

"Wait here, I'll get it for you.” She hurried to catch up with Luke.

Luke did not stop when he heard what Allison said and continued to move forward.

Allison followed along and they both went upstairs.

Bianca and the three children stood there waiting.

Rainie looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, why does Grandma look nervous?"
