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

Chapter 344 An Incident at the Breakfast Table
The Crawford family had many rules. Old Master Crawford placed a lot of emphasis on having breakfast as a family.
One unbreakable rule was that on the 15th of every month, the entire family had to gather for breakfast, no matter how busy or
unwilling everyone might be.
Today was the 15th of the month, and it was the day of the breakfast gathering. Moreover, the day was extra special because
Luke was about to announce to the family that he had brought his future wife home.
It was also an indirect challenge from Luke to the family members that did not favor the relationship.
On the breakfast table was an array of different breakfast items served on lavish plates. There was something suitable for every
taste.
The meats were lightly seasoned because it was breakfast.
Every dish was exquisitely prepared, as though it was the morning of a festival.
Old Master Crawford sat on the lead position at the breakfast table with a stern expression.
He might be old, but his bearing was as authoritative as usual, especially his eyes, which were gentle but commanding.
Susan and her son Louis sat on Old Master Crawford's right side, while on the left were Allison and Luke.
Susan and Allison were dressed up immaculately, decked in all sorts of luxury brand fashion items and accessories as though
they were free.
Luke sat there, not saying a word. He might seem calm, but he gave off a dominating air.
His gaze was transfixed on the staircase. No one knew what he was thinking.
Louis looked as carefree as usual. His face was similar to Luke's, having inherited the Crawford family genes.
However, one could tell from the way he sat that he was a playboy.
After all the dishes were served, the dining hall fell awkwardly silent.

Allison could not take it anymore, and she complained to Luke. "What's going on with that Bianca, Luke? Look, we're all here,
and we have to wait for her. How could she let her senior wait for her? This girl from a poor family doesn't know etiquette at all!"
"Take a look at yourself before you speak! No wonder your son is attracted to that kind of woman," Susan mocked coldly.
"Who are you talking about, Susan?" Allison was about to blow his top.
"That's enough. Can't we have some peace in the morning?" Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows and said impatiently.
His voice was soft but authoritative. The two women immediately shut up.
His daughters-in-law have been arguing since more than twenty years ago. Zachary could have kept them in check, but ever
since he passed away, no one could stop the two from fighting, even Old Master Crawford. That had made him very annoyed.
He had suggested that the two women remarry, but they did not want that. They claimed that they remained devoted to Zachary,
but Old Master Crawford knew their secret plans.
If Susan remained in the Crawford family, she would have a stake in T Corporation. If she remarried, things would be totally
different.
Her stake in the company would be withdrawn, and Louis was not much of a fighter or a businessman. She would not want to
see Allison and her son completely control T Corporation.
She would rather die single in the Crawford family than let Allison win!
Allison had a simpler viewpoint. She knew that Luke hated her. If she remarried, her son would not give away T Corporation's
resources to the other family.
If that were the case, Allison would not be able to maintain her current lavish lifestyle.
As a woman who became Mrs. Crawford, she was intelligent enough to rationalize her decision.
Old Master Crawford looked around the table and landed his gaze on Luke. "Luke, go and get Bianca here for breakfast."
Luke stood up from his seat. 'Yes, Grandfather."
Just when he was about to walk up the stairs, he saw Bianca walking down holding the two children.
With the twins next to her, Bianca was full of vigor.

She was not afraid of the Crawfords anymore, even though the people there were hostile to her.
As she stepped down the classic spiral staircase, she seemed modest and even a little timid.
Bianca might look calm, but her back was straightened stiffly, and her grip on her children's hands tightened slightly.
She did not expect that everyone was waiting for her.
Other than Louis, who was smiling at her, the other people did not look too pleasant. The air was thick with tension.
Luke took Bianca's hand and sat her down next to him.
The two cute children greeted their great-grandfather and sat down next to Bianca.
"Good morning, Old Master Crawford." Bianca smiled awkwardly and greeted the patriarch of the family.
Old Master Crawford grunted coldly, then turned his head away.
Bianca, who had been doted on by Old Master Crawford, felt even more awkward!
Helplessly, Bianca turned to greet Susan. "Aunt Susan," she called softly.
Susan shot a mocking glance at Bianca and did not say anything.
Louis laughed and eased the tense atmosphere. "It's not the first time we're meeting each other, Sis. I don't think I need to
introduce myself... I didn't expect that my elder brother, whom I thought would be single for the rest of his life, would have a
girlfriend. I ought to keep up with him, heheh."
Bianca smiled, feeling happy that at least one Crawford accepted her.
She turned her gaze to Allison, who did not hide her disgust. Bianca’s heart wrenched, and she could not get herself to greet her.
She could not forget the humiliation that Allison had brought her, and she could ignore all the things that happened between
them. Unfortunately for her, that woman was the mother of the man she loved...
