On a rainy night, a castle surrounded by many thorns and roses could be seen through the lush jungle and the dense branches.
The ancient castle seemed to have existed for a very long time. The tall gray walls were covered in dark green vines. There were so many of them that they quickly surrounded the windows. Some of them even burrowed into the windows with some gloominess.
“Baron, this castle hasn’t been built for many years, right?”
Although it looked like a haunted house under the dim light of the night, Edie was still interested.
This ancient castle seemed to have existed for hundreds and thousands of years, experiencing the prosperity and vicissitudes of the world. It might be the so-called popular retro. And it made his private territory look more sophisticated.
Edie had known Baron for many years, but today she realized that she had understood him.
It turned out that Baron was also such a flashy person.
“Yes, it was built about five years ago.”
Baron did not like people to disturb him. He was the only one in the castle, and the villa not far away was the territory of the butler and the servants.
Hazel smiled. Rich people were capricious because money could satisfy their bad taste.
Dave led the way in front. Everyone followed the steps and entered the castle.
Walking into the Gothic gate of the castle, passing through the blooming little garden of the white roses, they saw the extremely luxurious hall.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Hazel couldn’t help but shout. She had never seen such a place with such a noble style.
The complicated crystal lights emitted a cold light. The four high walls cast dark shadows on the soft carpet.
Hazel stepped on the thick carpet and walked through the spacious and cold corridor. The iron candlesticks on both sides of the walls made the golden wallpaper look even more resplendent.
“It’s still so cold and lonely.”
Dave sighed. He didn’t like the castle. Although it was luxurious, it lacked a bit of warmth.
Perhaps, this place needed a female master and some maids. Only then would it be like a home.
Hazel nodded in agreement. Baron was like a Prince imprisoned in a castle. He isolated himself, and no one could approach him.
“Sit down.”
Baron invited them to sit down in an extremely simple way.
“Baron, since the inside of the castle is so luxurious, why is the outside so gloomy?”
Edie sat down on the soft sofa and rubbed her empty stomach. “I haven’t eaten anything in a day. Now I am in your territory, you may offer a meal to me.”
“Where are your servants? Hurry up and cook. I want to have red wine, steak, some pasta, and pizza.”
Edie swallowed and began to order.
“Ms. Turner, how can you eat so much food?”
Dave let out a strange cry and made an exaggerated expression. It was unbelievable that a skinny woman could actually eat so much food.
His mother said that he couldn’t marry a woman who could eat a lot of food. It would bring a lot of burden to him.
Thanks to Edie’s good luck, she was born in a rich family. Otherwise, it would really be a bit hard for her family to raise her. She was a lucky girl.
“What are you talking about?”
Edie used her hand to rub Dave’s face. She pulled his face hard, causing Dave to scream in pain. It was another reason why he couldn’t marry Edie. She was too violent.
Such a violent woman would always hit her husband. Dave felt sorry for Edie’s husband in the future. Anyone who made Edie annoyed would be beaten by her severely.
Edie’s rubbed Dave’s face with all her strength. Dave’s face twisted in pain.
Under the torture of pain, he had to yield, “I am sorry, Ms. Turner. Please forgive me.”
Edie sighed, “Wouldn’t it be better to beg for mercy earlier? For a moment, I feel like you are like Roger.”
Her words were also cruel.
Dave said that he was wronged. Roger was much more sharp-tongued than him.
“Dave, you are always busy with chores, and you must be good at cooking. Why don’t you cook dinner for us today?”
Seeing that Hazel was also very interested, Edie said with her eyes sparkling.
Her words made Dave embarrassed.
His mother also taught him that only a man who could cook could marry a woman.
A good meal could please a woman easily.
However, he had been practicing cooking for a long time, but he had no talent at all. Even now, he only knew how to cook instant noodles. When cooking noodles, he would add either too much water or too little water.
His cousin Anna was exasperated at his failure. She drove Dave out of the kitchen and put a label on the door, which wrote, “Dave and Orange are not allowed to enter.”
Orange was a dog brought by Hazel. It was very smart and loved to steal fish and chicken legs.
“Edie, forget it. Even Orange will not eat the food cooked by Dave.”
Last time, Dave cooked a fish on a whim. The color of the dish looked good and the temperature when cooking it was appropriate. However, it still tasted bad.
Some people were born without talent in this aspect.
Anna threw the fish to Orange, who turned around in front of the food basin twice, sniffed, and walked away in disgust.
The fish had been put away for a day and was thrown away.
When Hazel mentioned it, Edie laughed.
“Hazel, how is your cooking?”
Among the four of them, only Hazel was better at cooking and should be able to cook a meal for them.
“Well, I don’t know how to cook pasta and pizza.”
Hazel rubbed her hands in embarrassment and glanced at the indifferent Baron.
In fact, she was very hungry now.
“There are ingredients in the kitchen. I can cook them.”
He changed into a set of casual clothes and looked cool. He held two bottles of red wine and walked toward them.
Hazel had sharp eyes. She had drunk the wine on the plane before. It was the famous Piper-Heidsieck and Shipwrecked.
“Shipwrecked!”
Edie was very knowledgeable and became overjoyed.
However, was it okay for Baron to cook for them? Everyone looked at each other with confusion. No one had ever tried the dinner prepared by Baron.
“Hazel, go to help Baron.”
Edie had never tried cooking, and she could not do anything to help.
No one liked the food cooked by Dave, so he didn’t go to cause more trouble.
In the end, they decided that Hazel and Baron would cook the dinner, which would give the two more space to be together.
Baron nodded. Hazel stood up nervously, following him.
In the refrigerator, there were marinated steaks and pasta.
The dinner would be sumptuous.
Hazel made sandwiches and Baron made pizza.
It could be seen that Baron had high standards for his life, and the vegetables in the fridge were the freshest.
Hazel took out ham and bread to make sandwiches.
She was not particularly interested in pizza.
“Make more,”
Baron said coldly. He wanted to eat all the sandwiches she made and would not leave any bread to Edie and Dave.
Those two foodies had to eat instant steak.
“Okay.”
Dave would eat a lot, so Hazel had to prepare a lot of sandwiches.
Luckily, they had enough ingredients and didn’t have to worry about food.
