What are they here for? Edgar stood frozen in place, looking darkly at the two men behind Sylvia.

Adrain’s expression was similar to his, with barely concealed hostility in his eyes. Patric also wore an unfriendly expression as he stared at Edgar. The gazes of the three men seemed to clash in the air in an intense and relentless standoff.

Sylvia sensed the strong tension and couldn’t help but sigh. She thought to herself, Do these men have to be so childish?

If looks could kill, they would have killed each other hundreds of times by now.

She sighed again, considered for a moment, and then looked at Edgar. “You don’t need to cook today, and you won’t be of much help here. The fallen leaves in the garden have been piling up like crazy recently. Go and sweep them.”

Sweeping fallen leaves outside? Leaving her alone to have a meal and chat with these two men?

Patric could be tolerated, but why Adrain?

Edgar’s face darkened, but he remained expressionless.

Sylvia went to the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of fine red wine. When she turned around, she noticed that Edgar was still standing in place. Urging him on, she said, “Hurry up. If you can’t move, I’ll ask Eighteen to come and pin you down.”

This meant there was no choice but to go. Edgar, with a darkened face, closed the door with what seemed like an intentionally loud noise, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

Pointing at him, Patric complained to Sylvia, saying, “Look at him, such a bad temper. He’s even fiercer than the master of the house. He’s just asking for a beating.”

Sylvia pursed her lips and smiled. “Don’t mind him. Sooner or later, I will have him well–behaved.”

Patric didn’t react much to her words, but Adrain looked dissatisfied. “Sylvia, he’s inherently proud. Even fierce beasts show weakness when they’re injured, but when they seize an opportunity, they’ll bite you back. Wasn’t his injuring you this time a premeditated act? Don’t end up hurting yourself when you haven’t tamed him properly.”

Patric nodded in agreement.

Sylvia opened the refrigerator to find ingredients while smiling. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
