Chapter 492 The Two Children Did Not Show Her Any Courtesy!
Leia felt disappointed when she saw that Allison could not open Luke's room door.
She hid away the mockery in her eyes and put on an empathetic expression. "Looks like Luke is a cautious person, and he really doesn't like any strangers entering his private space. Moreover, I'm not his girlfriend yet, and I don't think I should intrude upon him. Otherwise, Luke would be angry if he finds out. I don’t mind him being angry with me, but I'd feel guilty if he blames you." "You're right, Leia. When you become Luke's fiancee, he would bring you into his room even without me telling him. I'll eagerly wait for that day to come," Allison said with a smile.
The more she interacted with Leia, the more she thought that the young woman was the ideal daughter-in-law.
'Look at her. She's not married to Luke yet, but she's always considerate of her future mother-in-law. 1 'It would be great if I have such an obedient daughter-in-law that sides with me.'
Leia continued to ask, "Aunt Allison, has Luke been very busy lately?"
She had gone to T Corporation to look for Luke multiple times, but she had never been able to meet with Luke. Luke had also kept his whereabouts a secret, and Leia could not find any information from the receptionists, no matter how she threatened or bribed them. Without any other option, she went to Crawford Manor to look for him.
"Yes, my son is busy with some urban reconstruction project lately, and he's so busy that he doesn't even have time to rest. He's lost a lot of weight, and I feel sorry looking at him.
"Leia, It's not hard to captivate a man's heart as long as you know the technique. My son is a very career-focused man, and he’s a little slow on the uptake when it comes to relationships. You'll need to
take the initiative. You're a good match for him, and as long as you stay determined, I believe that you'll eventually win over my son." "When I was with Luke's father, other women used to flock around him, but they only lasted for one month at most. I'm the only one who stayed with him the longest. Do you know why? It's because I know what he wants."
Leia was reminded that Allison used to be an impoverished dancer. Using her son, she managed to become the matriarch of the Crawford family, and her status in the family was even higher than Susan Armstrong, the original Mrs. Crawford. Leia was impressed by her tactics.
"Mm, I'll do my best," Leia said submissively. "When will Luke come home, Aunt Allison?" "The Crawford family will gather for dinner on the 15th of every month, no matter how busy they might be. It happens to be the 15th today. My son will definitely come home." "Oh, it's my Grandma's birthday today, and I'll have to visit her at her house. If Luke comes home late today, I'll have to find another opportunity to meet him."
Allison and Leia went downstairs and continued chatting in the living room.
They chatted about luxury brands and beauty tips. Allison did not know any topics other than those.
Leia knew from her parents that Zachary Crawford was a suave individual.
She wondered how a shallow woman like Allison managed to beguile him.
'Luckily, Luke inherited his mother's looks and his father's intelligence,' Leia thought.
A luxury car drove into the grounds of Crawford Manor. The children had come home from school, and Luke brought them into the living room.
A hint of gloom flashed past the man's handsome face when he saw Leia, but he soon resumed his usual coldness. "When did you come over, Ms. Norman?" "Not too long ago. I'm here to visit Aunt
Allison. Did you pick up Lanie and Rainie from school?" Leia looked obsessively at the man.
It seemed that he was becoming more handsome the more she looked at him.
His eyes were brilliant like diamonds, exuding a dazzling charm even without illumination.
The twins, who were holding their father's hands, frowned unhappily at the sight of Leia. They did not even greet her.
To them, Leia was the baddie who wanted to snatch their father from their mother. They were not going to be friendly toward her.
Leia felt a little awkward when she saw the two cute children ignored her, but she did not give up.
She took out two sets of children's clothing from her large handbag and handed them to the children. "Lanie, Rainie, I've bought a set of clothes for each of you. Try them on and see if it fits!" 1
She opened the packaging. They were a set of stylish biker clothes for the boy and a pretty princess dress for the girl.
Lanie did not take it. He looked at Leia with a gaze similar to Luke's." Thank you for your present, Aunt Norman, but Rainie and I have too many clothes. We can't wear them all," he said politely while maintaining his distance.
Rainie did not show any courtesy at all. "Mommy bought a similar dress for me last month, Aunt Norman. I prefer the one she bought for me." "It's okay. You can tell me what clothes you like, and I'll buy them for you." Leia's smile was starting to become stiff.
She thought that she would easily win over the two innocent-looking children, but she did not expect that the children did not show her any courtesy.
Indeed, it was not easy to be a stepmother.
If she really married Luke, she would not keep the two irritating children by her side.
Allison dragged her granddaughter over and reprimanded her. "How can you speak to Aunt Norman like that? Didn't I always tell you that you should be more polite to Aunt Norman? She bought you that beautiful dress, and you should thank her. Understand? Otherwise, she might think that the children from the Crawford family have no manners." "Hmph!" Rainie turned her head away snottily. She did not want to look at her grandmother's angry face or Leia's flattering attitude.
Leia felt even more awkward. She pretended to look at her watch and said tactfully, "It's getting late, Aunt Allison. I should go back to my home. Otherwise, my parents will worry about me. I'll come and look for you another time."
When Allison heard that Leia was about to go back, she shot a glance at Luke, who was heading upstairs. "Alright, you should go home. I'd ask you to stay for dinner if it weren't your grandmother's birthday today. Luke, you ought to send Leia home. Buy some presents along the way for Old Mrs. Norman too."
