The dinner had ended exactly at 10 pm, and Bruce, Nathan, and Daryl were about to leave when it suddenly started raining heavily.
The night was deep, and the sky was illuminated by lightning, with raindrops falling like small stones hitting the ground with a loud thud whenever they struck something hard.
Draymond made the decision not to send his father and siblings home yet.
After dinner, Draymond immediately headed to the library while Zarina escorted Grandma to her room, glancing back at Draymond's retreating figure.
Zarina shifted her gaze to the wall clock; it was already 10:30, and Draymond should have been resting, especially with the rain still pouring outside.
'It's late. Is he still working? Or maybe he's avoiding me?' she thought.
Shaking off her thoughts, Zarina focused her attention on Grandma.
"Stay here, Grandma, and rest," Grandma said softly.
