Nina was deeply moved. Luca even prepared new slippers for her. It was a welcoming gesture.

It meant she welcomed her for an extended stay here.

Nina could not resist Luca's kindness, so she changed into the new slippers without taking off her mask and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

“No, it's alright.” Luca shook her head. With Nina's arrival, she had no intention of pretending anymore. She planned to let Nina spend the night here.

The moment Nina finished her sentence, she saw Aunt Niele with a surprised look on her face. Did Aunt Neile not take the day off today?

Her questioning gaze then landed on Luca.

"Alright, I lied to you. There's no barbecue today. I found out about your situation. Since Mr. Mallory is away on a business trip, you might as well crash here for a bit,” said Luca.

Nina was about to ask how Luca found out about it, but then she thought of Sue and figured that she must have told Luca.

Hence, she changed her statement. "No, staying here would be too much of a bother for you all."

"What's the matter? Didn’t you spend a few nights here before? Plus, the kids are totally cool with you staying. Just make yourself at home here. Take a seat. Let me grab something real quick, then we can head upstairs together.”

Luca pushed Nina to the sofa and headed to the kitchen.

Nina understood Luca's intention. She wanted her to stay.

No wonder she had the new slippers ready. It was more convenient this way.

"Hello, Ms. Nina," greeted the three kids in the living room who were doing their homework.

"Uh, hi..." Nina looked at the three well-behaved kids, but her mind was on what Luca had said.
