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

Chapter 3177 The Seed Of Misunderstanding

"Invading your privacy? Are you kidding me? You're my son! It's only right that I do this!" Susan did not feel she was in the wrong at all. She let out a cold sneer and added, "Louis, I raised you and let you grow up safely in such a complex family environment.

"Now that you've grown up, you can't wait to soar free, huh? Let me tell you, you can't ignore me. No matter what, I'm still your mother, got it? I'm your mother, and you have to listen to me. So, move back here!"

"I'm not moving back." Louis took a deep breath, restraining the anger inside him.

In his eyes, Susan's every move seemed excessively controlling.

He used to understand her strong need for control, especially when the heir to the family had not been determined yet. He could understand how difficult it was for Susan to accept his father taking in another woman and even having a child with her. Hence, he would cooperate with her and satisfy her maternal desire for control.

Now, he did not feel the need to comply with her desire to control anymore. He had his own career now, and the accommodation provided by Luke was comfortable for all three of them. There was simply no need to move back.

"You used to complain about the villa being too small, didn't you? Isn’t it perfect for you to live alone? You don't even want to take care of Thea.

Now, you get to live alone in the villa without any kids bothering you. What more could you ask for?"

Louis' words felt like heavy stones pressing on Susan's heart. Susan did not expect Louis to say such things!

Even though these were all things she had said before, they were said with

the intention of convincing them to move back to Crawford Manor with her. Louis was not stupid. How could he not know?

He knew, but he used those words to shut her down.

A wave of anger burned within Susan. "Why didn't you listen to what I said before? Now that you've moved out, do you think you can get away from me? You're using what I said to shut me up?

"Louis, I'm your mother! No matter what, I'm still your mother. Don't even think about getting away from me like this!"

"I never thought about getting away from you." Louis shook his head and looked at her angry face. He calmed down in an instant.

"But I have my own life, my own career. Since everything clashes with your beliefs, I think it's best we don't live under the same roof. If you feel uncomfortable without a few people around to serve you, I can hire more maids for you.

"If anything happens, I'll come back to see you immediately. And I'll bring Thea back to visit you every weekend. But I won't move back in."

His life had finally settled down, and there was no one to nag him about his career. Nobody would criticize him for not being ambitious enough either. These peaceful days were wonderful.

Why would he be foolish enough to give that up and move back to endure Susan's nagging?

He was not foolish at all...

"You insist on not moving back?" Susan stared at him.

Louis was puzzled as well. Why was her desire to control him getting stronger?

Even Allison could move out on her own when she had enough money. She was not willing to help with babysitting or live with Luke either. If Allison could do it, why not Susan?

"I'm not moving back, and as for selling the company, I suggest you give up on trying to persuade me. I won't let anyone buy the company. Moreover, the person behind this is Grandpa.

"He wanted to give me a chance to return to T Corporation, but I turned it down. Grandpa said he wouldn't try to persuade me to go back to T Corporation anymore. If I ever decide to return, I'll just talk to him or Luke directly.

"So, nobody's interested in buying my company, and I won't go back to work at T Corporation. Just drop it." Louis simply revealed what sparked this whole thing.

It was this unintentional move from Old Master Crawford that made their mother-son relationship stiffen to this point.

After moving out, Louis realized how wonderful life was for the three of them. He and Yuri did not have to face Susan's pressure for childbirth anymore. Also, they did not have to listen to Susan's sighs about not having enough money or about how Louis should be earning more.

They no longer had to endure Susan's constant inquiries about how the company was doing, always comparing it to T Corporation.

Louis felt immensely relaxed after moving out. Without the pressure from Susan, he felt much more energetic and motivated in his work.

His company was capable of making profits too. Even though the profits were not as exaggerated as T Corporation, it was one of the more profitable companies in the industry.

Furthermore, with him being one of the members of the Crawford family, many were willing to collaborate with him.

Louis thought this kind of life was great. Even though he was born into wealth, he could make his own money with his skills. Plus, it was way easier than managing T Corporation, and he had more time to be with his wife and kids. What was not to love about that?

Susan did not understand the benefits of this.

She could not comprehend that even if he left his own company and returned to work at T Corporation, he would not be as capable as Luke.

Luke was not just a simple CEO in the construction industry. He was also an architect. If he wanted to participate in any competition, he would surely win first place. If it were not for T Corporation, he might be working in a world-famous architectural firm.

"What did you say?!" Susan's voice was sharp. She had thought there was really someone interested in acquiring Louis's small company.

In the end, it was Old Master Crawford who was behind this!

Why would he do such a thing?! Did he want Louis to return to work at T Corporation, or did he want to cause conflict between the mother and son?

Susan furrowed her brows tightly. The old master knew that what she wanted most was for Louis to return to work at the company.

If she knew someone wanted to acquire Louis' company, she would definitely spare no effort to make Louis sell it and return to work at T Corporation. As Louis' grandfather, Old Master Crawford certainly knew how important Louis' company was to him.

So, Old Master Crawford did that to cause a conflict between them, right?

Susan even felt that Old Master Crawford did that to consolidate Luke's position in T Corporation and to secure Luke's inheritance!

She could not help but feel resentful at how heartless Old Master Crawford was. He resorted to such tactics for Luke's sake. Once Louis resisted, Louis would be even more determined not to go back to T Corporation.

Louis did not know that revealing this matter would lead Susan to misunderstand Old Master Crawford so deeply.

Once the seed of misunderstanding was planted in one's heart, it would be difficult to uproot.
