Chapter 31 Cook Together
He did not know his brother's code name in the unit.
After all, military affairs were kept secret.
He learned "the Wolf" because he picked up his walkie-talkie from the ground at the time his brother was injured and was in the hospital a year ago. Hugo knew little about Jasper. They were half-brothers, and he was an illegitimate child, so he knew clearly about his identity in the Marsh Family. Since the death of his father, Peter Marsh, his grandpa valued Jasper the most.
The heir of Lengs Group was sure Jasper.
So, he could covet what Jasper had.
"The Wolf?" Elizabeth said.
Her pleasant voice brought back thoughts of Hugo.
"You don't like wolves?"
"No!"
"What do you like?"
"I love dogs!"
"Why?"
"Wolves are too wild. They cannot get along with human being and would hurt human being. Dogs are gentle, thoughtful, lovely, companionable and loyal!" Elizabeth rested her chin on her hands and squinted with a smile.
Hugo showed a smile and said, "It seems that you prefer the gentle, considerate and loyal man?"
He was right. Elizabeth blushed.
She bowed her head and muttered, "That's not the same thing!"
"Come on! Brush your teeth, wash your face and change your clothes, while I cook." Hugo said with a smile.
Elizabeth raised her head again and smiled at Hugo.
The house was on the top floor. Although it did not have a front yard and back garden as a villa, it had a beautiful glass conservatory and an open-air swimming pool on the roof.
"Wouldn't it be a hassle and a waste to change the water in the rooftop pool?" Elizabeth asked curiously after washing her face and visiting his home.
"The pool is connected to the water pipe in the glass garden and the toilet, so it is not troublesome or wasteful to change the water." Hugo answered with a smile while opening the refrigerator. Elizabeth pressed her lips and smiled awkwardly.
"What kind of food do you like? I can try to make on." Hugo scanned the contents of the refrigerator, and suddenly felt helpless.
He didn't know what he should cook for her. In fact, he didn't know what she liked to eat.
"You can cook, right?" Elizabeth asked after glancing at the refrigerator and walked over to Hugo.
Hugo nodded with a smile.
Elizabeth squinted her eyes and snapped her fingers. "You make what you like, and I make what I like." she added.
"That's it?" Hugo was unbelievable.
Elizabeth nodded and took out a piece of beef from the freezer, then cilantro, ginger, garlic and red pepper.
Looking at the ingredients Elizabeth took out, Hugo suddenly knew what type of food she liked.
Two people cooked while chatting. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"What do you study?" Elizabeth asked while washing dishes.
While cutting vegetables, Hugo answered, "Architectural design."
"I studied interior design! Although it is not as western as you, this major is my favorite." Elizabeth said happily.
Hugo froze and then lifted his eyes to look at Elizabeth. She had a bright smile like a flower, elegant and free from vulgarly.
"By the way, I applied to DL Estate and was accepted. It thanks to you! Because you asked me to apply for DL Estate." Elizabeth continued.
"Congratulations!"
Hugo had long been known about it.
Elizabeth then asked with a smile, "You know so much about DL Estate. Do you work there?"
"Yes." Hugo answered with a smile.
Elizabeth said happily, "We are colleagues then."
"You're more than just my colleague." Hugo, looking at Elizabeth with a smile, said jokingly.
He was her boss!
Hugo did not mention this matter, but smiled in silence.
"Ah! I almost forgot! DL Estate does not allow employees to be in relationship! Does the boss have a brain problem? How can he interfere in other people's feelings?"
"You want to fall in love?" He asked.
"No! I just feel like I do not have a high degree, no prominent family, no beautiful face, no time to find a man. It will be difficult to fall in love with a man. So I plan to find a suitable match among my colleagues!" Elizabeth said with a smile. She always spoke straight.
"Actually, you are pretty and have a nice voice." Hugo felt this girl interesting.
"Do you think it's a pity I'm not a singer?" Elizabeth said in a narcissistic way.
Hugo nodded with a smile.
"My classmates and friends have told me that, but my biggest dream is to be an excellent interior designer." Elizabeth added.
"You like interior design?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because..." I yearned for a warm home.
Elizabeth did not tell him the reason.
But Hugo was clear from her sad eyes.
"Do you yearn for a real home of your own?"
The words of Hugo made Elizabeth feel stunned in mind and body.
He could see her through.
She had parents and a brother, but she didn't feel the warmth of home.
Her mother was ruthless, her father was cowardice and incompetence, and her brother' was in cynicism.
Elizabeth felt that her home was very cold, with only days of endless disputes and never a laugh.
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, Elizabeth answered weakly.
Looking at Elizabeth, Hugo had the same feeling, because, he also yearned for a real warm home of his own.
"Elizabeth..."
"My dishes are ready! I'm going to start cooking! What did you want to say to me just now?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Hugo again after she had inadvertently interrupted him. "No, nothing, go on!" Hugo showed a smile.
Elizabeth did not pay too much attention to it and continued to work.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
