It was quite a pleasure for the couple to make dinner together. In the spacious Western kitchen, they busied
themselves preparing steaks for today’s dinner..
Ellen could only make Mediterranean cuisine and was unfamiliar with steaks, so Jared was the chef for tonight. Still,
it surprised her that he was actually an all-around man who was not only capable at work but also skilled at
cooking. She watched him grill the steaks with movements similar to those of a five-star chef; the steaks’ aroma
filled the air and was incredibly mouthwatering. “Have you learned how to cook before?” she asked curiously while
looking on.
Jared replied, “Uh-huh, I’ve learned it before. Cooking’s a pleasure as well.” He had once devoted himself
specifically to studying different kinds of food recipes. It didn’t take long for him to master anything, though Ellen.
was the first lady apart from his family who had the honor of tasting his cooking.
It was still evening outside the window. Jared said to Ellen, “There’s a pair of scissors there, and the vase can hold

A sense of romance instantly surged up within Ellen. Since she was glad to do this, she replied, “Okay, I’ll do it right
away. With that, she went to the garden with the scissors.
There were various species of flowers in the Presgrave Villa’s back garden. Even though it was autumn, there were
still flowers blooming in all their beauty in the garden.
Ellen was more or less artistic, so she cut five different species of flowers and arranged them together into a
charmingly romantic bouquet. Everything seemed wonderful as she arranged. the flowers on the dining table while
the man bustled around in the kitchen. The mood was cozy and romantic, and there was a touch of sweetness in
the air.
Finally, as she finished arranging the flowers, Jared was also done making dinner, which consisted of baked lobster
with cheese, grilled short ribs, fruit salad, and dessert. Jared took her hand, saying, “Come with me.”
Ellen followed him toward a door in puzzlement. Surprisingly, the door opened to a downward spiraling staircase.
Then, the lights came on, revealing a luxurious wine cellar. The dim light illuminated the glass cabinet, in which an
expensive collection of wine bottles was sparkling in bright colors.
Jared asked her, “Which flavor of wine do you prefer?”
“The sweet ones, Ellen answered. Jared then chose a bottle of sweet wine for her. She watched him take the wine
bottle before looking around the room. When she came to her senses, she met the man’s deep and fathomless
eyes.
In such a dim light, the young lady looked just like a bottle of appealingly tasty wine that anyone would be impatient
to have a taste of. As she blinked her eyes, Jared put the wine bottle back in the cabinet and held her pretty face in
his large hands.
Realizing what he was going to do, Ellen obediently closed her eyes. Then, she felt a warm kiss on her red lips,
which sent a shudder through her. She stood on tiptoe while going along with the man’s kiss. Perhaps the
atmosphere here was too tempting, or perhaps this guy was simply too charming, for she subconsciously yearned

Finally, Jared ended the kiss prematurely, fearing that something unintended might happen if they kept on kissing.
They came upstairs with a bottle of red wine. The lights outside the window came on automatically, illuminating the
entire villa at once.
A romantic atmosphere filled the air thanks to the beautiful bouquet of flowers on the dining table.
Jared opened the wine bottle and poured a half glass of red wine for Ellen, who then clinked her glass on his with a
flicker of shyness in her clear eyes. “Have a taste of my cooking,” he said with a tender smile.
Ellen cut a piece of the short ribs and tasted it. The meat was smooth and tender, and it tasted good and authentic.
She praised with a smile, ‘It’s delicious.”
Jared felt very fulfilled. Seeing the sincere smile in her eyes, he was very satisfied; just her smile alone could satisfy
him so much. “Thanks for the dinner. Here’s a toast to you,” Ellen said while raising her glass.
The words ‘cross-cupped wine’ involuntarily popped up in Jared’s mind as he looked at her slender and tender
arms. He looked forward to the day when he could drink cross-cupped wine with her.
