Being a pampered young lady, Annie never did laborious tasks before. It was only for the sake of love that she set her mind to
learn cooking. Having a clear goal allowed her to pick up the technique with relative ease, and she managed to master a few
dishes. In hindsight, she felt like laughing at herself for what she did. Every time she learned something, she did it for men
instead of herself.
“Doesn’t this feel like the kind of routine that married couples go through daily?” Aaron asked out of the blue.
Annie was busy handling the bacon when she heard Aaron’s words. She blushed as soon as she snapped back to her senses,
but she felt unhappy more than anything. “If you want to help, you can do it quietly. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, you are
more than free to leave!”
Aaron snickered. “I’m just saying what came to mind! Are you angry just because of that?”
Annie snorted and ignored him.
While the two of them were preparing the dishes, they heard the door of the house being opened from the outside. They both
glanced toward the door at the same time and saw Xante walking in with a tired face. A buoyant Sunny followed behind her.
As soon as Annie and Sunny saw each other, they frowned and asked each other simultaneously.
“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?”
Xante was a little surprised to see Annie in the kitchen, but she did not ask anything and walked straight to Aaron. “Where’s the
boss?”
Aaron washed his hands. “She fell asleep in her room.”
Xante nodded in relief. She took off her coat and threw it on the sofa. Then, she walked to Corinne’s room and went in after
knocking on the door.
Sunny knew better than to follow her in. He went into the kitchen and narrowed his eyes at Annie. “Why are you in the kitchen,
Annie? Are you and Aaron...”
Annie glared at him angrily. “Zip it! I don’t want to hear your nonsense! I should be the one asking you why you came with Xante.
How far have the two of you gone?”
Sunny puffed his chest and raised his head. He did not even bother to hide it at all. “We’re in a relationship now!”
Annie rolled her eyes. “I can’t wrap my head around why she’d ever fall for a childish guy like you!”
Sunny frowned in displeasure. “What are you trying to say? Who are you calling childish?!”
“You, of course! You’re a childish brat!”
“Just because your uncle is Jeremy doesn’t mean I won’t take it out on you!”
Annie scoffed. “Pfft. I don’t need Jeremy to deal with you! I can just call your elder brother and tell him you’re here! He’ll send
someone to drag you home right away!”
Sunny’s eyes widened and he began to feel scared. “No, don’t! I... I don’t want to go home yet! Since you’re preparing all this
delicious food, I’ll leave after I eat some!”
Annie smirked. “Food? As if. You’re here for Xante, aren’t you?”
Sunny blushed. He had this boyish shyness as he raised his chin arrogantly. “Well, isn’t it obvious? Can’t I stay with my girlfriend
for a while longer?”
Annie pursed her lips. “Of course you can! That’s normal! Go ahead and look for your girlfriend. Don’t get my way!”
Sunny did not plan on leaving, however. He scrutinized her and said, “I’ve already told you why I’m here, but you still haven’t told
me why you’re here! Are you getting it on with Aaron?”
