Chapter 196
"I... I don’t really enjoy social gatherings, and I don’t want to be in that elite circle and stuff. I prefer to be alone," Nathan said while stocking the pantry. "I’m not like my sister. I just want to work in peace."
"And do you think working in the kitchen is peaceful?" Cedric laughed. "Even with all the cursing? I think I lost count of how many times I yelled at you."
"Yes, surprisingly it is peaceful," Nathan nodded. "I like how everyone is fully focused on their job. I like this much more than any part-time or club activities I joined."
"I see," Cedric hummed. He said nothing else as he got busy preparing everything in the kitchen with Nathan, but he took a mental note. He had been watching over Nathan’s work, and it seemed that he had a passion for cooking just like him.

Two days had passed since Madeline reached London. For the past two days, she has been sightseeing many landmarks in London, especially Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
But nothing prepared her for the massive castle sitting atop a hill after a two-hour drive from the city center.
Madeline’s jaw dropped as the car approached the castle, and she saw many butlers and maids bustling about, doing their own thing. She thought Lance’s mansion was already impressive, but this was on another level.
"Is this where you grew up?" Madeline asked.
"Not exactly. This is more like a summer home for me. I spent my childhood between Los Angeles and central London. But my parents made the castle their permanent residence ever since my mom fell ill," Lance explained.
