Chapter 3336 See Sophian As A Rival
During that time, whenever there was a chance to pray, Luca would silently pray for Luke to come back safely and for their family to be reunited.
"Back then, I was pregnant, remember? If it weren't for Louis, I might not have made it through waiting for you to come back. People are really complicated beings. Even though was practically part of the family, there was no way to stop them from wanting to hurt me when they set their minds to it.
That's why I have a pretty open mindset about your mother. As long as she doesn't cross any fundamental lines with me, I can endure it," said Luca.
It was just a few bottles of skincare products, and she knew that it might not be as simple as that in the future.
However, she had to endure, right? It was only because she loved Luke.
"I'll handle this as soon as possible," said Luke, but he felt a whirlwind of worries in his heart. Handle it?
Allison was his mother. Even if he could be ruthless, she could always stand on her moral high ground and criticize him. It did not seem like there was any good way to resolve this.
Luca understood that there was not really a good way to deal with the situation, so she did not want to put pressure on him. Instead, she tried her best to comfort him, soothing his
emotions.
"Yes, I trust you," said Luca, letting out another yawn.
Luke saved the data on his computer, shut it down, and set it aside before turning to Luca, Okay, let's get some rest."
"Sure." Luca yawned once more and lay down to rest.
The lights went out.
Neither Luke nor Luca realized that Allison was eavesdropping outside the door.
She leaned forward slightly, pressing her ear against the door, trying to catch what was happening inside.
However, the soundproofing was too good, and since Luke and Luca were not speaking loudly, Allison heard nothing.
"Tsk." Allison let out a silent scoff of disdain.
She originally wanted to listen to how Luce would act all sweet with Luke after she took the skincare products. However, she heard nothing, so she had no choice but to awkwardly return to her room.
Looking at the skincare products on the vanity, she touched her own face. The products Luca used felt much better than the high-end brands she bought in stores.
Allison examined her skin closely. It seemed to be smoother. Unfortunately, that would not
do much for her deep wrinkles.
She remembered when she was about to get out of prison, Luca had given her those herbal packs. Even though they did not make the wrinkles disappear, they greatly improved the condition of her deteriorating skin, and she did not develop any new wrinkles.
It was far better than her condition after surgery.
Allison squinted her eyes, suddenly struck by another thought.
She had always believed her face could be healed. After all this time, she now realized that no high-tech method could fix her damaged skin. It seemed like only the medicine Luca prescribed had some effect.
Seeing her skin condition deteriorating, she realized she could not let it get any worse. It was better to just ask Luca for help with the treatment.
With this idea in mind, Allison gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
How terrifying..
Her heart could not take it anymore, so she grabbed a towel and covered the mirror. Allison glanced at the skincare products on the table. For the first time, she felt the cool air from the air conditioner on her face without discomfort. Her skin did not protest with dryness. The sound of her phone ringing startled Allison out of her thoughts.
She picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and narrowed her eyes. "Sophian, what's up?"
"Ms. Allison, you should be home by now, right?" Sophian's voice came through the phone. Allison could sense Sophian's unhappiness and pretended not to know anything. "Yeah, I'm back. What's wrong?"
"Are you doing okay at home?" Sophian asked again.
"Not really. You know, he actually made me sleep in the guest room. This villa is so big and luxurious, yet he put me in the guest room as he said there's no other room available. If I didn't take the guest room, he said I should go sleep in a hotel."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Allison knew what Sophian was thinking, so she could only complain. "The guest room isn't even half the size of the master bedroom. He's so heartless to treat me this way. Sophian, just looking at this guest room makes my heart ache."
Sophian did not expect the situation to be like this. The guest room?
Luke actually made Allison sleep in the guest room?
"Ms. Allison, maybe they just haven't tidied up yet. Don't be upset. There must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Crawford cares about you and wouldn't let you suffer." Sophian tried to comfort her.
"There's no misunderstanding. He made it very clear that if I don't sleep in the guest room, I have to go to a hotel. Sophian, they call it a guest room, but honestly, I've seen the maid's room, and it's bigger than this. Oh, when I saw that, my heart just sank," complained Allison,
ignoring the fact that the fumiture in this room was worth a fortune.
She needed to vent her frustrations so that Sophian would think she was having a hard time here. Otherwise, she might try to move in.
Allison definitely did not want to share a bedroom with Sophian. It would not be nice to have someone sleeping on the couch in her room.
At the same time, she needed Luca's help with her current plan.
Although Luke had not even looked at Sophian, if she really moved in, Luca would inevitably see her as a rival. Furthermore, Allison would be the one who had brought the rival to their
home.
There was a chance that if Luca was upset, she might refuse to help her or just do a half-
hearted job.
Hence, Allison could only apologize to Sophian, painting her situation in a pitiful light to evoke sympathy while also discouraging any thoughts of her moving in.
"Ms. Allison, that's really unfortunate for you." Sophian believed her. After all, Luke had been pretty harsh toward Allison in the car.
Feeling a bit down, she glanced at her spacious hotel room. Staying in a five-star hotel was just so comfortable.
"Isn't that right?" Allison lay comfortably on her bed.
"Ms. Allison, why don't you just stay in the hotel with me?' suggested Sophian, thinking a hotel would be better than a small guest room.
Allison immediately declined, "A hotel? No, let's skip that."
"Why not?" Sophian was confused.
"Hotel rooms are expensive. Just getting you a room is already a favor from Luke. After all, I brought you back, and I have to take care of you, right? If he has to get another room, I'm afraid he'll have an issue with it. But don't worry, no matter how poorly he treats me, I'm still his mother, and he won't mistreat me too much. It's late. You should get some rest." "Ms. Allison, I'm not tired yet because of the time difference. Can we talk a bit more?" asked
Sophian.
Allison yawned. "But I'm tired. I've been running around all day, and I'm exhausted." "Alright, Ms. Allison." Sophian, being considerate of Allison, did not press her any further and simply reminded her, "Ms. Allison, no matter how tired you are, remember to take care of your skin and keep it hydrated."
"Got it, I know." Allison hung up the phone and set her phone aside, her mind already racing with plans on how to get Luca to agree to help her.
