Chapter 869 Drama At The Dining Table
After all that had happened, Old Master Crawford now understood Luke's love for Bianca.
He would ruin his relationship with Luke If he insisted that he go along with his wishes.
Old Master Crawford was well aware of his grandson's abilities through how he handled the incident involving The Galleria. He
was confident that T Corporation would thrive under his management.
He was happy to go with the flow when it came to Luke and Bianca.
After all these years, Old Master Crawford knew that Bianca was a wonderful wife to Luke and a great granddaughter-in-law. Her
capabilities at work and personality were perfect. He would not stand in their way since the two of them truly loved each other.
Once upon a time, Old Master Crawford had forced his son, Zachary, to marry and interfered in his private life. His actions had
caused his son to renounce himself for many years. Since then, Zachary had acted rebelliously.
Zachary's married life did not bring him joy, and he was not successful in his work.
The old master did not want this tragedy to continue with his grandson.
Peace in the household was Old Master Crawford's only wish.
Bianca was aware that Luke owed her a wedding, but she never thought that he would bring it up out of the blue.
Allison looked furious, and it led to Bianca biting her lip out of nervousness. She tugged Luke's sleeve lightly and said, "Luke, it's
not a good time to talk about the wedding..."
Luke's big hands underneath the dining table squeezed her small hands tightly and patted them comfortingly. "Don't worry."
However, when he turned to his mother, his tone became uncompromising and firm. "I'm informing you about our wedding date,
not asking for your permission. Mom, it's your call whether you want to show up. It doesn't matter if you don’t attend our wedding.
My mother-in-law will be there anyway."
Allison felt like she was suffocating. She was unable to say anything back to Luke.
She coughed a few times and almost vomited blood when she met Susan's mocking gaze.
Allison glared at Bianca and then cursed at Luke angrily, "Bastard child, do whatever you like! You've never thought of me as
your mother. I hope you won't regret your stupidity in the future!"
Blanche and Rainie were overjoyed when they heard that their parents were getting married.
Even as they ate, their adorable faces were filled with joy.
Rainie smiled and asked Luke and Bianca, "Mom and Dad, if you have a wedding, can Lanie and I be your flower boy and girl?"
Luke rubbed his daughter's head and said gently, "Of course you can.
You're the little angels who witnessed our journey."
When Tommy heard it, he threw the spoon in his hand and swallowed the last bite of his food before he made a fuss. "Mommy,
Tommy wants to be your flower boy too!" "Yes, of course." Half of the food prepared for Tommy ended up on his face. Bianca
took out a wet wipe and gently cleaned his face.
Louis, who had always been playful, was enthusiastic. "Luke, where do you plan to get married? What style are you thinking of
for the ceremony? Will you hold it in a church or outdoors? I'm experienced with event and wedding decorations. Bianca, what do
you like? I can help you with research and advice."
Yuri pinched Louis and stared at him, saying unhappily, "You weren't this enthusiastic when we had our wedding!"
Louis happily said, "This is Luke's wedding. Of course, I’ll take it seriously! I only have one brother. What's more, he's a
wonderful man while Bianca is beautiful and kind. They’re meant for each other. I must let them have a
perfect wedding. Thea, hurry up! Once you're done, we'll head out to play..."
Louis squeezed Thea's sweet face. His love for her radiated like the sun, creating a juxtapose from his usual playboy
appearance.
Thea was a little unhappy and pushed his hand away. She pouted as she said, "Dad, you’re hurting me. I don't feel like playing
today. When I'm done eating, I need to rush off to ballet class. There's a dance competition next week. I want to bring home a
medal..."
She looked at Rainie with jealousy.
Susan and Yuri always compared her to Rainie, going on and on about how great Rainie was. They kept telling her to work hard
and win against Rainie.
Rainie was four years older than Thea, looked more beautiful than her, was better in academics, and won many more medals
than her.
Although Thea was only four years old, Susan and Yuri had instilled the idea that Thea had to be better than Rainie since she
was young. She had been hostile to Rainie since she was a child and wanted to compete with her in all aspects, i
Louis was shocked by what his daughter said.
He knew better than anyone else that Thea loved to play. He was curious about the sudden change.
He was pleased that Thea was working hard at something. He praised her," It's great that you're spending time doing what you
love. Whether you win or not, I'll buy you a big present. I'll get you whatever you want. Rainie is good at ballet, maybe she can
give you some advice? Rainie, would that be an issue?"
Rainie smiled sweetly at Louis and replied graciously, "Not a problem, Uncle Louis."
Thea stared at her angrily and said proudly, "My teacher is a world-class ballet champion. She's amazing. I don't need advice
from Rainie!"
Rainie felt awkward. She was not sure why her cousin was so hostile with her.
Allison could no longer stay on the sidelines. She snorted and defended her granddaughter, "Rainie is the national champion in
children's ballet. She’s talented and willing to work hard. She can’t be compared to others. We don't have the time to give others
advice. Some people have bad genetics and are not qualified!"
The four-year-old Thea did not seem to understand what Allison meant, but Yuri's expression turned sour.
If her genes were good, then Allison would not have stolen another's husband.
However, Yuri's upbringing did not allow her to swear at Allison in front of all the elders.
The rosary in Susan's hand suddenly stopped and her eyes shot daggers at Allison.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, but the rosary in her hand was almost deformed due to the force...
