Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3034

Mr. Griffin nodded as he listened. Then, he packed away the herbs together with the maid.

Old Master Crawford had just finished the fourth gof chess with Luke. He looked at the chessboard and grumbled, "I give up, I give up. I can't beat you at all."

Luke, placing his chess pieces down, replied, "Grandpa, you've been playing chess in the park all this time. Your skills should've improved."

"I play with those old guys, but none of them can beat me. They're slow. How can my skills improve? You should cback and play withwhenever you have time. Otherwise, how will my chess skills improve?" complained Old Master Crawford, feeling helpless.

Having played chess for decades, he found himself unable to beat his grandson, who had little tfor the game. It was quite embarrassing.

"Alright, you've had your fun, Grandpa. I have something to discuss with you," said Luke as he placed the tidied chessboard aside.

Old Master Crawford's custom-made chess board was a cherished possession. The old master saw Luke placing it aside casually. He picked it up and said, "Let's go to my study. I have something to tell you."

The grandfather and grandson stood up. Old Master Crawford handed the chessboard to Luke and warned him, "Hold onto it properly. Don't drop it. It's custom-made. It's precious."

Luke had no choice but to carry the chessboard as they both walked into the study.

Tommy looked up at his great-grandfather and Luke, then something cacross his mind. He asked, "Ms. Luca, can we watch cartoons?"

"Yes, sure," replied Luca, realizing it was tfor their cartoon show.

She had been busy telling the cook and Mr. Griffin about the herbs, while Luke and Old Master Crawford were playing chess earlier. They had all overlooked the fact that it was tfor the kids to watch cartoons.

Understanding that the adults had things to attend to, the kids stayed silent.

Luca turned on the TV, tuned it to the cartoon channel, and said, "Just catch up on the show for now.

We’ll catch the previous episode tomorrow during the day."

"Okay!" Tommy nodded. He rose to his feet and sat beside Luca.

Rainie saw what he did and also stood up. She sat on the other side of Luca.

Mr. Griffin walked out of the storage room, saw the scene in the living room, and quietly left.

Old Master Crawford said, "I've heard about Louis' situation. I was the one who arranged for the person who initiated the acquisition."

Luke never knew about anyone planning to acquire Louis's company, so he had no clue about the old master pulling strings behind the scenes. He sighed in frustration. "Grandpa..."

"Louis' company is really stepping up its game. It's getting better and better. But I'm still worried. What if he wants to return to T Corporation but feels awkward about it? That's why I staged this situation.

"If Louis didn't want to cback, that'd be fine. But I didn't expect his mother to find out about this. I never thought things would escalate to this extent." Old Master Crawford pursed his lips.

As the one who made the arrangements, he felt responsible for the strained relationship between the mother and son.

However, he also valued his pride. Since he had not told Louis and Susan about it, he planned to discuss it with Luke.

After all, Susan was Louis' mother, and their relationship could not be allowed to deteriorate too much. He needed Luke's help to cup with a solution and mend their relationship.

"Grandpa..." Luke let out another helpless sigh. The old master had not been involved in the company's affairs or even family matters since his retirement.

Why was he suddenly concerned about Louis' situation?

Moreover, this move caused a major conflict between mother and son.

"I know I made a mistake, but there's no turning back now, right? Luke, as the elder brother, please helpto sort out Louis' situation. But please don't mention that I arranged for this to happen," said Old Master Crawford.

The reason why he did not want anyone to know about it was simple. If Susan found out about it, she might cback and cause a scene.

"Looks like you've had sfree tlately. Why don't you return to T Corporation and take up a role? The chairman? CEO? Consultant?" Luke found Old Master Crawford's recent actions quite puzzling.

Luke and Louis were brothers. Even though they were half brothers, they shared the sfather but different mothers.

When Louis decided to leave T Corporation to start his own business, Luke had assured him that if he ever wanted to return to the company, everything would be arranged for him.

Therefore, the concerns Old Master Crawford harbored did not exist in Luke's mind.

The fact that the old master was aware of these considerations but still went ahead with such a plan left Luke feeling helpless.

"No, no, no. I know it wasn't right to make this arrangement, but it's already done. Didn't I just tell you? You'll deal with it." Old Master Crawford shook his head. Going back to the company was not in his plans.

Luke's expression turned serious as he stared at the old master.

Old Master Crawford heaved another sigh and said, "Yes, I made a mistake, but there's no going back now. So, you handle it and make sure Susan doesn't cback here and cause a ruckus."

"Louis is upset now. It seems he has no intention of going back to the villa," added Luke.

"So, the best solution now is to let Susan know that the acquisition was fake, that you arranged it. But you had good intentions.

"At the stime, make sure they discuss this openly. If Louis doesn't want to return to T Corporation for now, she'll need to understand that." This was Luke's suggestion.

Communication was the best way to resolve the situation. He also emphasized that he should not be involved directly as he might be misunderstood by Susan.

"Ah, do we really have to tell her?" Old Master Crawford regretted his decision. It was not the right move.

"Yes, and now only you can handle Mom. So, you must be part of the conversation between them," replied Luke with a stern look on his face. Since Old Master Crawford was the one who caused this mess, he needed to be the one to resolve it.

"Alright, I'll do it in a couple of days. Louis' mother is still not calm enough," Old Master Crawford agreed. If his eldest grandson would not help, then he had to take care of it himself.

The peaceful days that had just settled in would be disrupted if this matter was not resolved.

Luke had no objections. If it meant giving Susan smore tto calm down, it was for the better. However, he could not help but think about the fact that Louis' villa was right next to his own house.

Susan might show up at any moment...

He could not be at h24 hours a day either.

If Susan showed up, there was a high probability that it would be Luca handling it.

He did not want to put Luca in that position and let her deal with Susan's temper. It looked like he would have to find an opportunity to talk to her properly.

There was no need for her to endure Susan's attitude when she did not have to deal with it.

Old Master Crawford did not dwell on Louis' situation anymore. Instead, he lowered his voice and showed a hint of excitement. He asked, "I heard Luca has blessed our family with a new little girl. Is that true?"
