In the kitchen of the Blanchet family.
Ellinor was perched on a spotless counter, with nothing to do.
Watching him chop vegetables with a bit of clumsiness, Ellinor swung her still sore legs leisurely and teased.
"Theo, you're such an old fart, and you can't even cook for yourself?"
He glanced at her, "Do you think I need to?"
Ellinor raised an eyebrow.
For someone born into a wealthy family who lived a life of luxury, he didn't need to do these mundane chores himself.
Ellinor crossed her arms, "You might not have needed to before, but you better start learning some housekeeping!"
As he chopped tomatoes, he smiled at her, "And why is that?"
Ellinor simply stated, "Because you're gonna have a family, you need to learn to take care of your wife and kids!"
He hummed in amusement, "Even if I can't do housework, I wouldn't let you do it. I'd have people do it for you. And I'll take 'care' of you in areas others can't."
Oh no, not again!
Ellinor blushed and decided to play dumb, ignoring his teasing.
"I don't like having people around me all the time. It disrupts my life!
To be honest, I'm not really used to your lifestyle with all these servants. I like the atmosphere when it's just us as a family. I love the feeling of caring and looking out for each other.
Theo, if you want to live with me, you’ve gotta get used to a life without servants! You can't expect me to do all the chores; I ain't gonna be your free housemaid!"
