Ethan Ainsley has it really tough.

"Ethan will be staying here for a few days. He's my guest, so don't scare him away,"

Lola thought to herself: She's almost scared him away already!

First, she drenched him, then scratched him, and almost made him catch a cold. Hmm... thinking about it, Lola suddenly felt guilty, and realized that Ethan had been having a hard time.

"Oh, by the way, Vivian, I had intended to announce at dinner tonight that Ethan would be staying with us for a few days, but Minister Cooper unexpectedly invited us to dine with him, so I didn't get the chance to tell you."

"Oh." Lola nodded her head.

So that was why.

No wonder she had mentioned that there were lots of dishes prepared by Blue, but Grandpa Hussey wasn't home for dinner.

"So, how long is Ethan going to stay?" Lola asked.

"At the very least, three to five days. If not, at least two," Hill Hussey took off his pipe, tapped it on the table, and started smoking again.

Councillor Trump had already brought a new set of clothes.
