The Payne family was reunited, and no one had much appetite for dinner. The Old Lady didn't even touch her chopsticks, only sipped half a bowl of soup before clutching Zoe Bell's hand and refusing to let go.
She even said, "It's getting too late. Why not spend the night at the old mansion?"
Naturally, Zoe was thinking exactly that.
The Paynes did it to avoid leaving her alone, which would have been too conspicuous.
So they arranged accommodations for William Hale and Finn Hale, including... Michale Shaw!
Turns out, his role tonight was to be the handyman!
The Payne's mansion had plenty of guest rooms, but they were under renovation, and since they rarely had visitors, only two rooms were available—taken by the Hale uncle and nephew, respectively.
Michale Shaw gritted his teeth:
Damn!
Do I have to share a room with Hale or the younger uncle tonight?
