I cut the steak and gave it a try. The vors melted in my mouth, and the tender texture left. me in awe.
Andrew’s cooking skills were on par with Colin’s.
“It’s delicious.” I picked up some vegetables next. “Andrew, your cooking skills are impressive. I wonder
which lucky girl will have the privilege of enjoying your cooking forever.
Queenie pretended not to hear me and focused on eating. Andrew stared at her with a warm smile
ying on his lips. “I hope it’s Queenie.”
I turned my gaze to Queenie. She had frozen, her brows furrowed together and her lips tightly pursed.
The knuckles of her hands had turned white from how hard she was gripping the
cutlery.
Andrew’s smile dropped in disappointment, but he quickly regained his spirits and cut up the
steak for Queenie.
Queenie loved steaks, especially the tender kind. She couldn’t believe Andrew had noticed this after
just a few days of hanging out.
Her reaction was intense, so I didn’t dare to continue and quickly changed the subject. Andrew was a
smart one. He immediately yed along and chatted happily.
After dinner, Andrew diligently put on the apron and cleaned the kitchen until everything was sparkling
clean. When he left, I was on the couch, happily waving him goodbye.
The door wasn’t closed properly, so I peeked from the doorway. I saw Queenie apanying him to
the elevator. She said with her head bowed, “Andrew, I’m still in love with someone else. I think you
shouldn’te over again.”
Andrew stood in the elevator with a disappointed look, but he shed Queenie a smile. “I’m willing to
wait.”
Once Queenie closed the door aftering back, she rolled her eyes at me. “You’re so nosey, always
meddling in other people’s affairs.”
I grinned sheepishly and half–joked, “The shoe that fits one person pinches another, and there’s no
recipe for living that suits all cases.”
Queenie stood by the window quietly.
Soon, it started raining outside. The rain gradually grew heavier.
We didn’t turn on the lights. Queenie’s phone that was ced on the coffee table suddenly lit
up with a message: “The rain is getting heavy. You should stay away from the window to avoid catching
a cold.”

I showed Queenie the message, and she nced at it briefly before shutting her phone. She even drew
the curtains shut.
I didn’t know how Andrew knew Queenie was standing by the window. I didn’t know if this silly man was
standing in some corner like in a romance novel, gazing lovingly at the woman
he adcred.
What I did know was that if Queenie epted him, Andrew would make her happier than Flynn
ever could.
Before going to bed, I shared my feelings with Queenie. She didn’t say anything for a long time before
finally sighing.
“Luna, there are two sides to the moon. I used to feel the same way about Flynn, and it took me nearly
five years to understand his true nature. It ended in nothing but pain.
“I’m not brave enough to waste another five years on figuring out someone else, especially someone
much younger than me. I just don’t see how it’ll work.”
She had a point, and I didn’t know how to respond. We couldn’t force a rtionship. Only time
would reveal one’s true nature.
The heavy rainsted all night. The next morning, we found the city submerged in water, and several
cars floated on the flooded roads.
Our neighborhood was rtively low–lying, and with the sudden heavy rain, the drainage system
couldn’t handle the amount of water pouring in. The flood reached our thighs, and the rain showed no
signs of stopping.
Queenie’s wardrobe consisted of long pants and long dresses, none of which were suited for the
weather. I found her some denim shorts and slippers and packed her favorite long skirt in a waterproof
bag. With an umbre in hand, I escorted her to the gate.
