Chapter 614 180-Degree Change In Attitude!
At night.
Old Master Crawford was dressed grandly in a bespoke suit, as though he was attending an event.
He seemed much more spirited than other days.
Bianca thought that the atmosphere at the dining table was different. She noticed that Old Master Crawford would steal glances
at her, as though comparing her with someone else.
Sometimes he nodded, but sometimes he sighed. Bianca was confused.
She looked curiously at Luke, but Luke smiled and said nothing. He scooped some salad for her and said, "You should eat
more."
Before she could take a bite, Old Master Crawford put a fish fillet on her plate.
Bianca looked at Old Master Crawford with surprise. "Thank you, Grandfather..." "Mm," Old Master Crawford replied, "You're too
thin, and you should eat more fish. That'll be good for you and your baby. I hope that the baby will be as smart as Lanie and
Rainie too."
He could guess from his grandson's hint that Bianca might be the long-lost Ms. Norman.
That explained the 180-degree change of his attitude toward her! 1
The more he looked at Bianca, the more surprised he became.
He realized that his granddaughter-in-law looked similar to Queenie, and he wondered why he had not noticed that before.
It would be great if Bianca were really Chris Norman's granddaughter. Their wish could finally come true.
The more Old Master Crawford thought about it, the happier he became. He put some shrimp on Bianca's plate and advised her,
"Bianca, now that you're married to Luke, you are now a part of the Crawford family. I hope that you can take up your
responsibilities and help Luke. You can ask me if you need any help."
Other than Luke, everyone else around the dining table stared at Old Master Crawford with surprise!
Allison was utterly shocked as though she had seen a ghost!
Ever since those unhappy episodes involving Bianca, she knew very well that Old Master Crawford hated Bianca!
Why did his attitude toward Bianca change so abruptly?
Allison chewed her food slowly, but she thought that it was tasteless.
No one noticed how icy her gaze was when she looked at Bianca's bulging stomach!
Bianca tried to eat all the food that Old Master Crawford had picked for her. She replied, "Thank you for your concern,
Grandfather. Luke is my husband, and I know what I should do. I’ll improve myself so that I can be a match for him."
Allison chuckled coldly. "What a boast! Do you think you can do that? I'm afraid you won't be a match for my son even if you
spend the rest of your life improving yourself!"
Old Master Crawford's expression sank, and he rebuked Allison sternly." How can you say that, Allison? Bianca is your daughter-
in-law. Is that how you should treat her? Bianca and Luke have already registered their marriage, and they're already a legally
married couple. You might not like it, but she's undeniably your daughter-in-law. Don't tell me that you’d want to force them
apart!"
Allison was unhappy that her father-in-law had rebuked her. "So what if they divorce? Isn't that normal in modern society? My
son is the best. It doesn't matter if he remarries twice, thrice, or more times. Many women will still want him."
Old Master Crawford wanted to whack that stupid daughter-in-law with his walking stick!
He remembered that she was Luke's mother and decided not to do so.
Even so, he waved his walking stick at Allison as he rebuked her, "That's ridiculous! Any other mother would wish for her son to
have a harmonious family. I haven't seen a mother hope that their son would divorce! Don't let me hear that again. Luke, now
that you've married her, you'll have to be responsible for her. The Crawford family should not have any divorce scandals!"
Allison dared not say a word after that. She stabbed the steak on her plate, releasing her anger on it as though it were Bianca.
Susan seemed unconcerned, but she was laughing up her sleeve. Old Master Crawford had recognized Bianca to be part of the
Crawford family, and only Allison, that idiot, remained stubborn.
However, she was happy to see the conflict between Allison and her daughter-in-law. The worse their relationship, the better it
was for Susan.
Luke elegantly wiped his hands with a napkin, gently held Bianca's hand, and made a solemn promise to his grandfather. "Don't
you worry, Grandfather. Bianca is my wife, and she is the only woman I will love. I will not disappoint her."
Old Master Crawford was comforted. "Mm. I'll leave the company to you two."
Susan turned to look at Old Master Crawford, feeling uncomfortable and disheartened.
The news that Leia Norman blackmailed Dr. Hoover to falsify the DNA test results had sent shockwaves all over A City.
Mr. Norman had just come out of a meeting. He was walking together with his subordinates, discussing the agenda from the
meeting earlier. He planned to go with them to one of the developing rural areas for a focused survey. There, he would visit the
farms, the community healthcare centers, the small-scale factories, and other places.
He had just parted ways with his subordinates when his secretary rushed over and whispered something in his ear.
Mr. Norman's expression changed drastically. He turned around and walked back into his office in big strides.
He sat down on his leather swivel chair and made an internal call to his secretary, saying that he wanted some peace and quiet
for himself.
He took off his coat and tie. Then, he impatiently lit a cigarette.
Standing in front of the window, he glared at the bustling city below him. He remembered the negative press his adoptive
daughter had received, and his expression sank.
He was extremely tired.
It was the first time in his life that he did not want to clean up his adoptive daughter's mess.
When Leia woke up at the hospital that day, she had hugged her mother and wailed loudly. "Mom, I can't bear to see you miss
your birth daughter and fall sick again. That's why I did that so that you don't have to worry anymore. I didn't expect things would
turn out this way. I know that I'm wrong. Won't you and Dad forgive me? I promise that I won't make the same mistake again. I
know I'm wrong..."
Leia crying was Queenie's soft spot. She chose to forgive her daughter.
However, Mr. Norman was more sensible than that, and he would not let his emotions cloud his judgment. Leia's tears and
excuses did not convince him. Instead, he became more disappointed by his adoptive daughter.
He could not say that he was a saint, but at least he knew what was the right thing to do. His wife was also gentle and kind. Their
daughter should not turn out like that.
He did not expect too much from his daughter, but she should at least be kind and honest instead of scheming and lying.
However, where could his birth daughter be?
