Next morning, it was a surprise that the boy did not laze in bed.
Thud, thud, thud. He ran back to his room, took his little toothbrush, and started washing up for the morning. He
had a row of neat and white teeth which he carefully brushed. Once done, he ran to look for Rainie. When he
opened the door, he announced to her, "Our mommy is still alive."
Rainie's hair was tied into a neat braid. She cocked her head to the side, "Big Bro, what are you talking about?"
"I said, our mother is still alive!" Blanche said as he marched forward and knelt on the floor to help his sister
wear her shoes before bringing her to another house within the mansion.
Their nanny was not bothered by what the kids were doing.
Blanche got his sister to be on the lookout while he sneaked into Uncle Louis' room quietly. He took his uncle's
phone and turned around to sneak out of the room...
"Did you get it Big Bro?" Rainie widened her eyes to ask.
Blanche nodded and went to a secluded corner with his sister. They used the phone to dial a number.
At the stime, Charles Finn's phone rang.
At one housing estate within the City Center Fifth Ring, Charles was having a morning run with his wife. When his
phone rang, both of them paused their steps.
When Charles reached for his phone, he frowned at the sight of the Caller ID and said to his wife Faye Thomas,
"It's Crawford's second young master, Louis."
"Why is he calling you?" Faye was puzzled.
The couple used to work with the Crawfords 20 years ago. Old Master Crawford had retired and handed the
company to his son. Unfortunately, a few years later, his son had fallen severely ill and passed away thus Old
Master Crawford had to cout of retirement.
It was until Luke Crawford returned to the family that they started to work for Luke.
Luke was a born leader and inherited the best genes the family had. His intelligence was above others. As of
now, the couple believed that he did not inherit his father's negative personalities.
His father was a promiscuous and fickled philanderer. They had not seen Luke carrying such an attitude thus far.
in a blink of an eye, since Luke cback at the age of 16, until now, it had been 13 years. Both Charles and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFaye could no longer work even if they wanted to.
They no longer had the strength to continue supporting this young man that was once being ostracized as an
illegitimate son. Fortunately, Luke had built up his capabilities and could stand independently that nobody could
threaten his position.
The two retirees were worried that any Crawford member would clooking for them.
Anyone that clooking for them did not have simple intentions. For the past five years, they have been asked
regarding the identity of the twin's biological mother countless times.
"Young Master Louis?" Charles eventually answered the call.
What replied to him was not Louis' voice, but a soft cute voice. "Grandpa Charles..."
"Yo... Young Master Blanche?" Charles was puzzled.
"Grandpa Charles, | have a question for you. May I?" The boy asked politely.
"Of course you can. I'd tell you if | know about it."
The boy knew that Charles was merely being courteous. The old man would not tell him everything...
"Last night, daddy finally toldthat my mommy is still alive..." Blanche's mood beclow as he spoke."
Grandpa Charles, everyone said that you and Grandma Faye knew my mommy. Could you tellif my mommy
would cback looking for me?"
That was a difficult question for Charles.
"Will daddy remarry my mommy?"
Charles did not say a word about what he could not reveal. All he replied was, "I don't think so. | heard that your
mommy has a boyfriend now."
Charles and Faye went for a vacation last year to England, and coincidentally, they were near the place where
Bianca was studying.
Luke arranged for professional caretakers to take care of Charles and Faye once they retired thus he would know
that they went to England for a vacation.
However, they were not sure if he had arranged for them to live near Bianca's school on purpose. Charles only
passed a message to Luke once they returned, telling him that Bianca seemed to have a boyfriend and their
relationship looked rather stable.
Charles had said it offhanded but he had purposely observed Luke's expression after he exposed the news.
Luke's expression was just dark and unreadable.
From that incident, Charles was sure that Luke did had sfeelings for Bianca. If not because Bianca had found
a boyfriend, these two young people who already had children might make a good couple.
Charles also recalled the frequency of Luke bedding Bianca back then. Even if he did not sleep with her daily for
a month, just the number of times in one day was enough to impregnate the girl.
Charles would bet on it that there was an element of feelings in it.
As a man, Charles knew how a man's bodily needs worked. When deprived for a long time, the craving would get
stronger, yet Luke could abstain abruptly after a month of daily sex five years ago. That was not all, after five
years, never had any woman appeared in his life all these while. That was something unexplainable.
Was it because he could not forget his 'past love'?
From what Blanche said earlier, Charles also detected another key information.
Luke had told his son that their mother was still alive. That simple act had
deviated from the initial story of their mother had ' passed away".
'Had Ms. Rayne returned to the country?
'Did they meet?’
While Charles was trying to figure out the questions in his head, he heard the disappointed voice of the young
boy, "Oh... okay, thanks, Grandpa Charles." Then the boy ended the call.
While Charles had his breakfast, he began to analyze the situation with his wife.
Faye said, "Luke is not like his father.
He's not a womanizer. Back then | was shocked as well. A selfreserving young man coming to the mansion every
night like a cat that was addicted to stealing fishes. He'd cinto the mansion and Begin the act without even
informing her. How rough of him.
"The twhen we wanted to go for our vacation, Luke got his staff to arrange for our flight and accommodation
and kept trying to subtly convince us to go to England. Now that | think about it, it wasn't because of the
beautiful scenery but because there was somebody that he missed there."
Faye took a sip of warm milk and chuckled. "Let's ignore the fact that Ms. Rayne has a boyfriend. Even if she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoesn't, Luke would need to wait a few lifetimes before he could marry the mother of his children with his
introverted character." 1
Charles agreed with everything his wife had said. His usual stern look could not hold back a smile. "The main
thing is, this chap is also arrogant and prideful. | would know that since | watched him grow up."
Faye shook her head. "This is going to be a difficult task. Back then, I noticed that the girl was shy and quiet. If
Luke doesn't make the first move, there would be no hope between both of them."
"| think the boy has seen Bianca."
Charles wiped his hand, and with a
stoic expression, he said, "From
ooo
various aspects, we can tell that Luke is extremely possessive and a
contro freak. If he saw Bianca and her boyfriend, yet he didn't know how to put down his pride to court her,
wouldn't he die suffocating from his jealousy?"
On the other end, at the Crawford Mansion.
The two kids deleted the call history and quietly returned the phone inside Louis’
room.
"Would dad allow it if we request for a phone?" Rainie asked as she followed behind Blanche.
Blanche thought about it for stand decided against it because he was worried that it would anger their
father.
‘After all, Uncle Louis always sleeps like a log. We can always take his phone to
use.’
