Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

“Louis and Yuri are busy with work. Who's going to look after Thea if you don't move out of the house?" Old Master Crawford did
not allow her to stay.
"If they can't look after Thea, they can hire a maid to take care of her. Or they can just send her over here if that doesn't work for
them," said Susan. She insisted on living in Crawford Manor.
Susan and Allison used to argue and fight with each other every day. It had become a fight to the end. However, Allison moved
out of Crawford Manor after she thought Luke got killed. That was when Susan won the fight.
Hence, Susan insisted on staying in Crawford Manor. This was her territory.
"Mom, I'd still be worried if I leave Thea to the maid. You know Thea is unlike other children. I'll be more assured if you can look
after her yourself," said Louis. What he said was true.
Thea started suffering from a psychological disorder after what she went through when she was little. They had brought her to
the psychologist, and the psychologist told them that she would need her parents' company. It would help her improve her mental
health as she grew up.
"Then just let Thea stay in Crawford Manor. I'm not young anymore. I'm not used to living in other places." Susan made up her
mind. She wanted to stay in Crawford Manor, and no one could make her leave.
Louis had always known that Susan refused to leave Crawford Manor.
However, it was the old master's decision. Old Master Crawford wanted to live in a peaceful and quiet place. Louis had no choice
but to continue to persuade her, "But Thea needs to see us often. Otherwise, she'll imagine things."
It roused the anger in Susan when she saw Louis insist that she move out of the house too.
Louis was her son, but he was supporting someone else instead of his mother. Susan shot a glance at Yuri, who was only
concerned about feeding Thea. Susan knew she could not pin her hopes on her daughter-in-law. She turned to look at Louis and
said, "Isn't that easy? You can ask the chauffeur to send Thea here when the two of you are busy."
"Mom..." There was nothing Louis could do.
"Enough. Louis, eat your dinner." Old Master Crawford knew what kind of person Susan was, and he understood why she
insisted on staying here.

"Grandpa.." Louis felt helpless. There was nothing he could do when such a simple matter could not be solved because of
Susan's stubbornness.
Previously, the old master had dropped Louis a hint by asking him to move out as all he wanted was peace in the house. After
all, it was difficult to achieve that when Susan was still staying in the house.
Louis thought of moving out of the house together with his wife and children after all these years of staying in Crawford Manor. It
was also to prove that he was capable of doing so.
He had established the workshop on his own without depending on the Crawford family.
"I'll move out of the house if she refuses to. Don't complain about it if I move to your villa in the future," said Old Master Crawford.
He thought of asking Susan to move out of Crawford Manor only because he thought Susan was too loud and fussy. He was fed
up with her, and that was why he made such a decision.
He would leave since Susan refused to move out of the house.
"Grandpa, you can stay as long as you like." Louis was not going to reject his grandfather.
Yuri could not help but frown when she heard the old master was going to move to their house and stay with them.
The old master was not going to cause any trouble if he moved to their house. Besides, considering that he would bring some
maids and servants along with him, Yuri's life would be much more comfortable with them helping her out.
However, she was still reluctant. She had to be careful in everything she did if the old master was there. Her life would be boring.
"What? You're moving out?" Susan did not expect Old Master Crawford to come up with such a plan.
The reason why Susan insisted on staying in Crawford Manor was not only because she had been staying here for more than a
decade but also because she wanted to take advantage of the old master.
Things would be easier for her if she stayed in Crawford Manor alone and the old master moved out. However, whatever
happened after that would not be within her control.
Old Master Crawford took a bite of the salad and replied, "Louis' villa is right next to Luke's villa. I can see both of them every day
if I move there. Isn't it great to spend some quality time with my family?"
Susan looked at Luke and became alert.

Luke chimed in, "Grandpa, let's talk about this later."
"Well, Louis will only move out after New Year. No rush." Old Master Crawford knew his plan was working when he looked at the
awful expression on Susan's face.
Susan had been carefully plotting. She would not let the old master get too close to Luke. However, it was silly of her when she
had yet to figure things out even after so many years. Even if Luke was not beside the old master, the bond between them and
the connection in their blood would never fade because of their distance.
It was the same for Louis, but Susan could never understand it.
Louis lived a happier life compared to Luke. He was pursuing something he wanted, unlike Luke, who was forced to train to
become the successor since he was young. Luke did not have a happy childhood, and he did not have the chance to play and
have fun. He started from scratch in the company after he graduated. He slowly took over the company after understanding how
everything in the company worked.
Things were the other way around for Louis. He was living a much easier life.
Hence, the old master favored Louis more when he was growing up. Louis was against the thought of taking over the company
ever since he grew into an adult.
Old Master Crawford knew Luke was not living an easy life, so he let Louis do whatever he wanted to.
Susan clenched her jaw. She did not expect the old master to refuse to live together with her.
If the old master was staying in Crawford Manor, he would not have the chance to meet Luke that often.
However, if he moved into Louis' house, then Luke could see the old master every day. Judging from how good Luke was at
pleasing the old master, Susan reckoned that he would keep on turning a deaf ear to her.
By then, it would be useless for her to stay in Crawford Manor. The assets that the old master owed were much more valuable
than Crawford Manor, after all.
Susan glanced at Luke and secretly made up her mind.
Luca was listening to their conversation at the dining table. The subject of the conversation had changed, and they were no
longer talking about her. That was why she had nothing to do with whatever they were talking about, and it did not matter to her.

Luca slowly ate her dinner. She would also help the children with the food. She had no right to say anything about Susan's
determination.
Old Master Crawford said to Mr. Griffin when everyone was about to finish the dinner, “Serve the two bowls of tonic now."
"Yes, Old Master." Mr. Griffin turned around and walked into the kitchen, serving the tonic that Old Master Crawford had
instructed the kitchen to make for Luke and Luca.
He carefully placed the tonic in front of the two of them.
Luca looked at the old master when she saw that the color of the tonic was slightly dark.
Before Luca could say anything, Susan asked, "What's that?"
"Tonic," Old Master Crawford took his time to answer. The only difference was that Old Master Crawford was smiling, and he
sounded cheerful too. "Luke, Luca, thank you for everything you've done for T Corporation. I've instructed the cook to prepare
some tonic for both of you. Drink it."
"Old Master Crawford, the tonic..."
"Don't worry. It's a bowl of nutritious tonic. I've asked someone to check the ingredients. The tonic will help replenish your energy.
It's good for you," replied Old Master Crawford immediately.
