The maid would stay the night in the Norman residence when it was inconvenient to go home.
Queenie looked at the rain outside the window and said, “It’s not very convenient for you to go home.
You should stay.”
“Yes. The weather service has also issued a yellow alert earlier,” the maid said.
“It’s that serious?” Queenie did not expect that. She looked at Luke and said, “You shouldn’t leave just
yet, Luke. It’s not safe to drive home when it’s raining so heavily.”
“Alright,” Luke said. He did not expect that Queenie would ask him to stay.
The rain was not going to stop any time soon. How long would Leia be able to hide? He knew that she
was not a patient person…
After dessert, Luca sat on the couch and watched the news. The yellow alert had been escted to an
orange alert. She looked out of the window and saw that the rain did not lessen.
The storm was much more severe than any summer storm.
“It’s orange now,” Queenie said. She was also watching the news.

Jack stood next to Queenie and said, “It’s been dry for so long. It’s normal to rain.”
Queenie was worried about something else. Luke and his children were there. There was Luca too…
She was worried that the storm wouldst through the night, and they would have to stay over.
The Norman residence was a small-sized mansion, and there were not many guest rooms. Ever since
Bianca reunited with the Normans, they had converted the guest room into Bianca’s room.
If Leia were not around, there would be enough rooms for Luke and his children as well as Luca. Now
that Leia was in her room, there was only one spare room left in the mansion…
Luke and the children could stay in Bianca’s room, but what about Luca?
Queenie did not voice out her worries. By ten o’clock, Tommy was already yawning. “I’m sleepy,
Daddy,” heined.
Luke looked out of the window. The rain was as heavy as ever.
It was not impossible to drive home, but it was not very safe.
Luke received a call from Old Master Crawford. “Yes, Grandfather?” He said.
“Are you still at the Norman residence?” Old Master Crawford asked.
“Mm. The rain is too heavy. It’s not safe to drive.” Luke nced at Queenie and Jack. One of them was
calm, while the other was visibly worried. Perhaps she was worried that Leia was getting impatient.
Luke brought the children to visit their grandparents. At the same time, he wanted to give Leia a
warning.
He did not expect to be caught in a storm.
“Griffin said that it’s an orange-level storm. You shouldn’t drive home. Why don’t you stay the night over
there?” Old Master Crawford said.
“I’ll see how it goes.” Luke did not immediately agree to it, but he could tell that it was most likely the
case.
They needed two rooms, and the entire Norman residence only had one spare room.
He looked at Luca.
“You don’t have to see how it goes. The storm is no joking matter. That settles it,” Old Master Crawford
said and ended the call.
Jack said, “What did Old Master Crawford say?”
“He said that it’s not safe to drive home with the children tonight, and he’s telling me to stay over,” Luke
said.
Jack looked out of the window and agreed. “The sky is already dark, and the storm is so heavy. It’s not
safe to drive. There are still clothes for you and the children in Bea’s room.”
Queenie had prepared clothes for the children in Bianca’s room in case they wanted to stay over.
Naturally, there were some of Luke’s clothes in the closet too.
It would not be a problem if they wanted to stay over.
“But we don’t have enough room…” Queenie whispered and bumped Jack’s arm with her elbow.
It was then Jack realized that there was only one spare room in the entire house…
He looked at Luke.
Luke asked, “Can’t Dr. Craw stay in Leia’s room?”
Jack reacted quickly and replied, “That room was recently renovated. The smell of paint is still quite
strong, so it won’t befortable to stay in.”
Luke knew that Jack was lying. He continued asking, “Huh? Why did you suddenly renovate Leia’s
room? Is sheing home soon?”
“No, of course not. Why would she being back? She’s enjoying herself overseas. Queenie and I
noticed that the wallpaper was peeling, so we got a handyman to rece the wallpaper with a fresh
coat of paint,” Jack said.
Queenie added, “That’s right. Leia’s room is the only room in the house with wallpaper. It hasn’t been
upied for three years, and I thought it smelled moldy. That’s why we’ve changed it.”
Luke nodded.
Luca sat there, feeling embarrassed that her parents had to lie for Leia.
They were usually honest people. It must be hard for them to keep a straight face while lying.
“What should we do?” Queenie said worriedly. There were no hotels near the residential area. Of
course, Luca could not stay in the same room with Luke and the children.
Moreover, Leia was still in the house. They could not ask Luke to sleep in the living room.
When everyone was wondering what to do, Tommy said, “Grandpa, Grandma, isn’t there a sofa bed in
the yroom? Daddy can sleep there. Ms. Luca can sleep with me, Lanie, and Rainie in Mommy’s
room.”
“The sofa bed is too small,” Queenie shook her head and said. Luke was more than six feet tall. He
was not going to fit in the sofa bed.
“Why don’t I sleep on the sofa bed?” Luca said, trying to find a solution for them.
“It’s not veryfortable though…” Queenie said hesitantly. It would be rude to ask a guest to sleep on
the sofa bed, let alone someone who had saved her life.
“It’s fine. It’s only one night,” Luca said.
Jack said, “That settles it then. Luca looks about the same size as Bea. You can let her wear Bea’s
clothes.”
“Alright, I’ll go and get it from upstairs,” Queenie said. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The yroom was next to Leia’s room. It would be safe if Luca stayed there. Luke would not notice
Leia’s presence even if she made some noise.
From their exchange in the kitchen earlier, Queenie trusted Luca not to tell Luke the secret.
Queenie thought that Luca was quite amiable. Luca had helped her unconditionally, and she did not
ask why.
‘How considerate… she’s like Bianca before she lost her memories.’
