Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 764

Chapter 764 She Is Still Trying To Match Him With Other Women

Maxine turned away from Bianca and looked at Allison once more. She pointed at the two exquisite gift boxes on the coffee table and said, "I bought these presents for you and Grandpa, Aunt Allison. I hope you'll like them."

The sweet smile on Maxine's delicate face made Allison smile. "You didn't have to bring any presents, Maxine. The climate in A City is very different from the capital. Are you used to it?"

Maxine stuck out her tongue and began to unwrap the gift box. "I'm used to it. I can adapt to different environments easily. I've even gone on an expedition to the North Pole with my friends. I'm fine here."

Bianca glanced at Maxine again.

She did not expect that the young woman who seemed frail and delicate dared to explore the North Pole.

Allison exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of a girl who grew up overseas. Your courage and constitution are exceptional. What... did you bring?" Maxine smiled sweetly and carefully detached the ribbon.

The first box contained a carved briarwood tobacco pipe, while the other contained a sky-blue mink coat.

Maxine presented the pipe to Old Master Crawford with both of her hands. "I heard that you're fond of tobacco, Grandpa, so I brought a pipe for you."

A smile bloomed on Old Master Crawford's face. "Thank you, Maxine."

Maxine smiled bashfully and presented the mink coat to Allison. "I don't know your favorite color, Aunt Allison, but I think that sky-blue should suit your fair skin. You should

look good in it. Do you want to try it on?"

"I've never worn sky-blue before. I wonder how it'll look..." Allison could not stop grinning. She took the coat and draped it on herself.

There was a dressing mirror in the corner of the living room. She spun around in front of the mirror and found that the size and color matched her body type. That made her look even nobler.

Caretaker A flattered Allison, "You look so fashionable and pretty in this mink coat, Madam. You look barely thirty years old." Caretaker B added, "You really have a good eye for fashion, Ms. Maxine. The coat suits Madam perfectly." Maxine laughed magnanimously. Allison could not help but be impressed by her noble demeanor and impeccable etiquette.

'Sigh, if only Luke married Maxine! Why did he have to marry Bianca, who brings him nothing but trouble?'

When she thought of how her son had been cold and distant to her because of
Bianca, she glared at Bianca resentfully, and the smile on her face faded away.

Bianca understood that Allison was prejudiced against her.

Bianca wanted to move away, but Luke held her waist.
He whispered into Bianca's ears. "We'll call it a truce when we're back at Crawford
Manor, alright? We wouldn't want Mother and other outsiders to look down on us. If
you have anything to tell me, we can do it back home."

"Who can remember what happened so long ago? Stop bringing unrelated people back home, Mother. Otherwise, people might think that we're a homeless shelter." Luke spoke without looking at Maxine. His gaze remained transfixed on Bianca. Maxine's expressions turned unpleasant instantly. "Aunt Allison..." She bit her lip.

Allison glared at Luke. "How can you say that? She comes from a wealthy family in the capital. She's here in A City because she's looking to get an internship in a major company. Now that Maxine's here, you should arrange a suitable position for her in the company so that she can gain some working experience for the next six months." Maxine came from a family of politicians. Her grandfather and father were important people in the capital, and

their rank in the government was far higher than that of Jack Norman. That was why Allison was interested in her (background) and wanted to forge a stronger relationship with her.

Allison did not know why Maxine would suddenly contact her. After all, Maxine's father and grandfather had never extended a helping hand when she needed the help.

Ever since her son's business thrived, the family at the capital began to contact her infrequently.

Allison could not believe that her elder cousin would send his daughter over to A City so that she could get an internship at T Corporation. She had her doubts, but she was happy nonetheless.

Bianca's expression froze. She could see that Allison was fond of Maxine, and she knew that Allison was intending to match Maxine with Luke. She did not say it, but she could not help but feel jealous.

Allison continued to reject Bianca even though she had given birth to three Crawford children and had restored her status as a daughter of the Normans. That made Bianca frustrated but helpless.

Luke sensed the fluctuations in Bianca's mood. He said to his mother impatiently, "T Corporation never hires anyone through connections, even family. If she wants a spot in T Corporation, then she'll have to earn it herself. She can apply for an interview, just like everybody else."
