Belinda looked at Ariana and said, “Feel free to cook anything, Ariana. I'm heading out now since | have
something to do.”
She stood after saying that and made sure to shoot a look at Brian before leaving.
Soon enough, Ariana and Brian were the only two people left in the Lodge residence’s massive dining room.
There wasn’t even a hint of respect in Brian's gaze as it swept past Ariana. “Well? Why are you still standing
around? Shouldn't you get in the kitchen and cook?”
“Nobody's hnow. So, why bother carrying on the act, Mr. Lodge?” Ariana met Brian's eyes and added, “Get
sfood delivered if you're hungry.”
“How dare you -“Brian wanted to retort, but Ariana had already left. She went into the kitchen, washed her
hands, and was about to cook something.

Upon seeing that, he snorted. “What's this? You toldto get food delivered if I'm hungry, while you're only
cooking a meal for yourself? If you really want to leave that badly, why don’t you take this chance to flee since
Grandma's not home?”
“Am | the fool here or are you the stupid one, Mr. Lodge? Ariana spoke monotonously. “Mrs. Lodge Senior is
clearly forcing us to stay hbecause she wants us to get closer to one another. Why would she letleave
the Lodge residence?
“I'm pretty sure the front door has been locked from the outside by now. | doubt there’s any way of opening it.”
Brian was slightly dubious as he approached the front door. Alas, he exerted all his force to open the door, but it
didn’t budge. Someone had indeed locked it from the outside.
Ariana grabbed singredients from the fridge after washing her hands. “Perhaps someone might be able to
open the door for you if you order food delivery now, Mr. Lodge.”
Brian fished out his phone and was about to order food when he realized he had no cell signal. Someone had
disconnected the Inteand cell coverage at spoint. The situation caused Brian's face to darken like coal.
Ariana noticed Brian's expression but leisurely revealed, “I only know how to prepare one serving of food. You'll
have to cook for yourself if you're hungry.”
“Are you joking?” Brian snarled, his brows furrowed.
Belinda had also told the housekeepers to stay out of the residence. Because of that, Brian couldn't get anyone
else to cook for him.
Ariana hummed a cheery tune as she made an omelet. A mouthwatering aroma soon wafted over from the
kitchen.
Brian was sitting in the dining room but quickly becentranced by the scent. “What are you making?”
“Are you talking about this dish, Mr. Lodge?” Ariana pointed at the golden, fluffy omelet on her plate. “It’s just an
omelet.”
“Why didn’t you make this dish before?”
“Mr. Lodge, you've had all the delicacies in the world. Why would you like such an ordinary dish?” While saying
that, Ariana picked up her plate.

She continued, “Besides, | made this for myself, | doubt such simple food would be to your liking, right?”

Ariana soon settled down at the dining table and ate her omelet. She wasn’t that hungry, to begin with. She had
only cooked to piss Brian off.
As expected, Brian was infuriated by her actions. “You used ingredients from my home, Ariana.
“So?” Ariana replied.
She had just said that when Brian sat opposite her. “So, | get a share of this omelet, too.”
Seeing that Brian was about to dig in, Ariana grabbed her plate and moved it away. “You can cclean about
wanting sof my food, Mr. Lodge. Of course, if you askpolitely, | might even whip up an extra serving for
you.”
