Ben closed his phone, placing it aside but forgetting to remove his earphones.
When Mrs. Lucas came over, she immediately noticed. They clearly hadn’t been talking, or at best, Summer had been doing all the talking while Ben wore his earphones to tune her out.
She was fuming inside, but with Summer playing along so diplomatically, Mrs. Lucas couldn’t embarrass her.
"As long as you two enjoyed the conversation,” she said, casting a subtle glance toward Summer. “Why don’t you stay the night, dear? We have plenty of rooms, and I can prepare one for you right next to Ben’s.”
Though Mrs. Lucas casually suggested any room would do, she had already made up her mind to set Summer up in the room right next to Ben’s.
After all, she had always envisioned it as her future daughter-in-law’s room. And with them staying so close, there’d be plenty of chances for those “accidental” encounters she was hoping for.
Ben’s immediate reaction was to decline, but Summer beat him to it. “Thank you so much, Mrs. Lucas, but I think I’d better head home tonight. My parents are quite strict with curfews, even at my age!”
“You’re absolutely right,” Mrs. Lucas said, clearly impressed. “I didn’t consider that.” To her, Summer had all the grace and restraint that a respectable family’s daughter should have, unlike those from lesser backgrounds who might use any means to climb the social ladder.
