Chapter 2480 Don’t Keep Me Missing You For Too Long

Sophian could not help but secretly heave a sigh. How she wished she could become part of the

Crawford family.

She quickly kept up with Allison. After they got into the car, she helped Allison to book the flight.

“Ms. Allison, we'll have to set off to the airport early in the morning tomorrow. Why don’t we go

back to the villa to tidy our stuff today and move them to Crawford Manor?” Sophian told Allison

her plan.

“Yeah, sure.” Allison agreed with her. There would be a driver sending them to the airport tomorrow

if they stayed in Crawford Manor. No one would be picking them up if she stayed in the villa that no

longer belonged to her.

"Okay. It's a deal.” Sophian gave instructions to the driver after Allison agreed to it.

The driver dared not to go against them and sent them back to the villa

The next day.

Allison and Sophian boarded the plane and traveled to Seoul.

Peace finally returned to the Crawford family.

Luke sat on the executive chair, staring at the computer screen with his brows furrowed.

The phone beside him rang. Luke answered the call, and Mr. Griffin's voice came from the other end

of the line. "Young Master Luke, Madam Allison and Ms. Thomas have boarded the plane to Seoul.”

"Okay. I got it,” replied Luke. Allison would leave once she received the money. He was pretty sure

about that.

Besides, the interpreter who was in Seoul told him that the surgeon who would be performing

Allison's surgery had reduced his days working in Seoul. That was why Luke could be so sure that

Allison would certainly agree to his plan.

Allison had to transfer the ownership of the property to him for the sake of the money she needed

to travel to Seoul and her surgery fees.

The villa was nothing to Luke. It was just that it could let Allison have a sense of crisis.

"By the way, Young Master Luke, Young Master Louis and his family will be moving to your

neighborhood in two days. Remember to get him a housewarming gift,” reminded Mr. Griffin.

Although Luke and Louis were brothers, some courtesies were still needed to maintain the brothers’

relationship.

As a brother, Luke should prepare a housewarming gift for Louis when he moved into a new house.

However, Luke had not been living in Crawford Manor for some time. Mr. Griffin was worried that he

might forget about it, and that was why he reminded him.

“In two days?” Luke recalled the old master telling Louis to move out of Crawford Manor after the

New Year. If Louis was moving out, what about Susan?

“Yes,” replied Mr. Griffin

"Okay. I'll prepare a housewarming gift. Is Mother moving out too?" Luke asked again. Susan would

rather die than move out of Crawford Manor.

“Madam Crawford hasn't made up her mind yet. I didn’t see her packing her stuff lately. She's

probably not moving...” Mr. Griffin assumed.

Even though Allison was no longer here, Susan would continue to stay here.

Susan had always seen Luke as a threat. Even if Luke was not staying in Crawford Manor, she would

think that he intended to claim all the inheritance of the Crawford family.

Hence, it was likely that she would stay in Crawford Manor.

"Alright. I got it,” replied Luke. He placed his phone aside after he ended the call.

Luca walked to the door with a cup of coffee in her arms and knocked on the door. “Mr. Crawford,

heres your cup of coffee.”

"Come in.” Luke pushed his chair back.

Luca placed the coffee near his hands on the table. When she was about to leave, Luke grabbed her

on the waist and pulled her back. She lost her balance and fell on his lap.

"Ah..." Luca cried out.

"Shh. Stay with me for a moment.” Luke held her waist so that she could sit on his lap comfortably.

It was as though they were doing something that should not be seen by the kids when she sat so

close to Luke. Luca's face reddened, and she felt anxious.

“Take a look at this for me. Which element is better for the drawing?” Luke held Luca's waist with his

left hand while he moved the mouse with his right hand.

"Is this the design for the ancestral hall?" Luca looked at the design elements on the drawing and

understood them immediately. Although she was asking a question, she sounded confident.

"Yes. I've been thinking of using rococo style or baroque style as the element,” said Luke. This was

the main question he had to think about today.

Be it the rococo style or the baroque style, both of them were the characteristics of X City.

It was difficult to choose between them.

Luca pondered for a moment and answered, “Mr. Crawford, I think the baroque style is more

suitable.”

"Why?" Luke wanted to know why Luca would choose the baroque style.

"It's magnificent.” Luca forgot that she was still sitting on Luke's lap. She analyzed, "An ancestral hall

is a place for people to pay respects and remember the ancestors of the Crawford family. It's open

to the public too. The baroque element is more majestic and imposing than rococo. From the

perspective of developing the culture, the ancestors would have preferred to keep the

characteristics of the great buildings they had built."

Luke agreed with what Luca said. He planted a kiss on her cheek and said, “That's my baby.”

“Mr. Crawford, you would've preferred using baroque style too, right?” Luca's face was red

“What makes you say so?” Luke did not admit or deny it.

"I noticed that your overall design has baroque elements in it," replied Luca. Since Luke had added

baroque elements to the exterior, it proved that he preferred the baroque style more.

It was just that the details of the interior of the building could be changed. Luke should be

wondering if he should add some other elements to it.

"Yes. Baroque fits well, just like what you said,” Luke agreed with her.

Then, he added at the thought of what Mr. Griffin told him, “I'd like to ask you a favor.”

"Yes, Mr. Crawford.” Although Luca had no idea what Luke would request, she agreed to help him.

“Louis will be moving here in two days. I'd like you to prepare a housewarming gift,” said Luke. If it

were someone else, he could get something more simple, but he could not randomly pick

something for Louis.

Hence, it would be best to leave it to Luca.

“Sure. Leave it to me. Vivian invited me to hang out with her at the shopping mall today. I'll choose

something since I'm going there,” Luca promised. It was not a difficult task to choose a

housewarming gift.

After years of being the daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, she had handled such things

before.

The gift represented Luke's thoughts. She knew how to choose the perfect gift.

Luke opened the drawer beside him, took his wallet out, withdrew a card, and handed it to her.

"Take the card. The password is Lanie's and Rainie's birthdays."

“Okay.” Luca took the card from him without rejecting him.

It cost a lot to buy such gifts. She could not afford to buy them.

Luca glanced at the time on the bottom right corner of the computer screen and gently placed her

hand on the back of Luke's palm. She reminded, “Mr. Crawford, I'll be late if I don’t go now.”

Luke chuckled. The way she reminded him was so indirect and helpless. It made his heart melt.

He wanted to cuddle with her as long as he could without giving her the chance to leave.

Luke let go of her and held her hand.

Luca rose to her feet, but Luke was holding her hand. She could not leave. “Mr. Crawford?”

"Come back earlier,” reminded Luke, “Don't keep me missing you for too long.”

Luca could feel the warmth at the tips of Luke's fingers. Her face was burning red. She nodded and

said, “Okay.”
