Chapter 1772 Don't Consult With Me If You Don’t Trust Me

Louis immediately grabbed Susan and walked off. "Okay, Mom, that's enough. The villa is almost

ready. You can move in with us when the time comes.”

When Susan heard that, she scolded, "Bastard! I told you that I won't move out! You're not allowed

to move out as well. This is your home!"

Louis was not bothered. He went upstairs with her.

Luke stood downstairs, deep in thought. Allison and Susan were incompatible with each other so he

had expected them to fight.

He knew that he could not postpone his plans any longer.

"Young Master Luke, are you moving out for good with Young Master Tommy and the others?" the

butler asked.

"Mm, I won't be moving back for the time being." Luke nodded. He did not want the kids to be

affected by their infighting.

Aside from that, he had not returned to Crawford Manor often because he was occupied with work.

It was a better option for him and the kids to live in the villa and have them get closer to Luca so

that she would open up to them about her true identity sooner.

"Since you and the kids left, it feels like this home is missing something. Old Master Crawford

doesn't like to stay here either. He's been going out to meet with his friends more frequently.” The

butler sighed when he thought of how the once lively home had turned so silent. The occasional

sounds were from Susan and Allison, who just yelled at each other whenever they interacted.

"I'll bring the kids back when they're on holiday," Luke said, "I'll go upstairs to see what's going on.”

"Okay." The butler nodded.

Luke went upstairs, opened the door to Allison's room, and frowned when his nose was

overwhelmed by her strong perfume.

It was way too strong...

Luca was sitting on the chair by the bed, taking Allison's pulse.

Allison saw Luke walk in but did not react to it. She went on and on, asking Luca questions, "When

will my face recover?”

Luca listened to her endless questions, finished checking her pulse, and looked at the man behind

her helplessly.

She could answer Allison's question but she knew that the other party would not accept her answer.

"Ms. Tanner, you need to continue applying the concoction to manage the condition of your face. I

just checked your pulse and found that your problem is not only on your face. In addition to

applying the concoction, I'll also prescribe some oral medication to treat your body," Luca said,

dodging her question.

When she heard that there was something wrong with her body, Allison pulled back her hand

suspiciously and said, "I'm eating and sleeping well. How could there be a problem with my body?

Are you talking nonsense because you want to earn more from me?"

Luca sighed and replied, "I haven't received a single cent from you. Your pulse is much more chaotic

than when you were in prison. I think it has something to do with your daily routine, so I suggest

you make a change. Your health will improve when we work on it internally and externally.”

Allison was still suspicious. The wrinkles on her face deepened because of the expression on her

wrinkled face. "My daily routine is good. Are you incompetent and just spewing nonsense?"

"Don't consult with me if you don't trust me. Ms. Tanner, if you have doubts about my abilities, you

can stop using my concoction.” Luca was fuming a little. As Luke's mother, Allison had never helped

him in any way but put him through the wringer all the time.

The saying went “love me, love my dog’. Hence, if she loved Luke, she should love everything about

him. However, she could not bring herself to like Allison, a mother who would only hold him back.

As time went on, she was a little disgusted by her.

Luke spoke up for Luca, "Dr. Craw's advice for you is for your own good. Okay, she'll prescribe some

medicine for you. It's your choice whether you want to take it or not.”

Allison glared at him, dissatisfied.

She was mad that her son would side with outsiders instead of her, his mother.

"I know. I'll take the medicine on time in full. If it doesn't work, I'll stop taking it, alright?" Allison said

in an odd tone.

Luke did not speak, and neither did Luca.

Seeing that they did not say anything, Allison thought of something and said, "Uh, I have something

to talk to my son about. Give us some privacy."

Luca listened to her unceremonious tone as if she thought of her as a maid. She did not say

anything and just walked out.

Luke watched Luca leave, his dissatisfaction toward Allison growing even more.

"What are you going to say?" His tone was cold as if the person in front of him was not his mother

but a stranger.

Allison stretched out her hand and said, "You haven't given me any living expenses since I got

released from prison. Are you trying to have me starve to death?"

"How much do you want?" Luke asked straightforwardly. He was clear about what she wanted from

him and did not bother to go around in circles.

Seeing that things were going her way, Allison got a little excited. She planned to ask for one

million, but seeing how casually he acted, she decided to go all out and said, "I want three million."

"What do you need three million for?" Luke frowned. The amount was within his expectations.

"Is three million a lot? It's just a day's work for you. I need money to get on with my life.” Allison

took him for granted. She thought that he was her son so, of course, he was responsible for all her

living expenses.

"You have all your meals in Crawford Manor. You won't go hungry." Luke was not fooled by her.

"I have to go out sooner or later and maintain my skin. I need money for all of these! This amount is

nothing to you. You're my son, so you should give me money." Allison was getting anxious seeing

that he seemed unwilling to give her money.

"You want to go out looking like this? You can't apply any skincare products to your face now. As for

clothes, I'll buy everything in trend for the season and put them in your wardrobe. What else do you

need?" Luke listed everything down. She did not have to spend any money at all.

"You just don't want to give me a single cent, do you? Okay, if you don't give me any money, I'll

move into your villa to live with you.” From what he said, Allison got the impression that he did not

think she needed money. She was dissatisfied.

"I'll give you the money but not now," Luke said, "I've arranged for someone to renew your passport

and apply for a visa. You'll receive a sum of money when it's done.”

"You want to send me out of the country? You're such an unfilial son! You sent your wife away and

now you want to send your mother away too? If you dare to do this, I'll expose your unfilial behavior

on the internet!" Allison was perturbed when she thought that he did not want to support her and

wanted to send her away.

She would be happy to go on a holiday abroad, but if she was exiled, she would never agree to it.

Since she would be stared at and laughed at if she went out, it was better for her to stay in the

manor and not go anywhere.
