Chapter 94 Pleading for You
Lina hurried towards the lord's manor under the starlight, her head bowed. She planned to check first to see if Nicole had prepared the master's dinner.
This morning, the old man rode his motorcycle all the way back from the rocky forest. In the afternoon, he was busy with various tasks, including setting up affairs, laying foundations and pipes, and building the stone house. He worked so hard.
He has to set off for Benlang Territory early tomorrow morning, so we need to make sure the master eats and rests early tonight.
only...
Upon returning to the second floor of the lord's mansion, Lina found the dining room completely empty, without a single person in sight.
She frowned.
A hint of doubt arose in my mind.
What's going on?
Nicole may be a bit absent-minded, but she is always obedient and well-behaved. She would never forget what she was told in advance. How could she have disappeared like this?
Just then.
A cacophony of laughter and footsteps drifted from the end of the corridor.
Lina turned her head to look.
Nicole and all the other maids were seen lining up to come out of an empty room, each with a cheerful smile on their face.
Lina sighed silently.
A slight displeasure arose in my heart.
Why do they seem to have forgotten their place after going on this trip with the master?
You are maids!
What time is it? Still laughing and joking around, you don't even care about the master's dinner?
If we anger the master, it will be difficult to plead for you later. Really...
"Nicole, what are you doing? Why haven't you prepared the master's dinner yet?"
"Martha, is the hot water ready? Master wants to take a bath after dinner!"
"Susan, have you prepared all the clothes and jewelry that Master needs for his trip tomorrow?"
Hearing Lina question them one by one, the maids were stunned, and the smiles on their faces all disappeared.
Nicole was the only one who acted strangely; she waved excitedly and shouted.
"Lina!"
"We're... uh!"
She was only halfway through her sentence when Celia, who was standing next to her, raised her elbow to stop her and gestured to her with her eyes to shut up.
Celia stepped forward.
The tone was light and cheerful.
"Sister Lina, the master is in the room. He just told us to come find you. Please go in quickly."
Lina's slight displeasure instantly turned into doubt. Seeing Celia's mysterious expression, she couldn't help but ask.
"What are your orders, sir?"
The maids exchanged smiles but did not answer her question.
Xueyue smiled and stepped forward, gently taking her arm, while Celia took her other hand.
The two men, one on each side, dragged her to the door of the empty room. Celia winked at her and laughed, "You'll see when you go in!"
Lina was filled with confusion, but she still obediently pushed open the door.
The moment she opened it and saw what was inside, she froze on the spot, her eyes filled with astonishment.
This is a small room that is usually left unused; it's not big, but it's been decorated to look exceptionally cozy right now.
A cashmere carpet was laid on the floor, and several exquisite copper lamps were lit in the corner. The bright candlelight illuminated the many seashells on the carpet, making them appear colorful.
These beautiful seashells were all things she had never seen before; there were round little whelks and shiny clams the size of a washbasin.
All the seashells formed a small circle along the wall, like a garland.
In the center of the room stood a round wooden table laden with exquisite dishes, all of them delicate seafood.
Richard was standing by the round table, his sleeves rolled up, just as he put down a dish of braised sea cucumber with scallions.
Seeing Lina standing blankly at the door, he smiled gently, walked slowly forward, and reached out to embrace her.
"You couldn't come to the beach with us, and you had to take care of all the little things in the territory all by yourself. It must have been tough."
"This whole table of seafood was prepared by me personally, and these beautiful shellfish were brought back as a gift from everyone, hoping to make up for it a little bit."
His voice was deep and gentle, like an evening breeze brushing past her ear, softly dispelling all the doubts in Lina's heart.
Lina was still somewhat dazed.
Feeling the warmth of his embrace and hearing his firm, strong heartbeat, she felt a sudden pang of emotion.
Tears streamed down her face.
to be frank.
She's quite tired today.
The breeding team had just been formed, and the five serfs were all novices. They were completely overwhelmed when faced with two hundred chickens and ducks and forty pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Several large, fat pigs escaped, causing everyone to sweat profusely as they chased after them, trying to catch them.
If she hadn't suddenly had the idea to ask Im for a few armored flying insects to bring them back, the big fat pig would have disappeared somewhere.
Later, he had to command the monster army to capture all the livestock one by one and put them in a corner on the second floor of the mine for the breeding team to take good care of.
Since she learned to read, Richard has also entrusted her with the task of registering work points, keeping her so busy that she hasn't even had a proper drink of water today.
of course.
This fatigue isn't physical, since I'm already at the early stage of the extraordinary realm; it's mental.
But when I think about how I can help the master, these things are nothing at all.
and.
She assumed that after finishing his work at the construction site, the master would need to arrange his schedule for tomorrow.
But unexpectedly...
He secretly captured the beauty of the seaside...
He personally brought them all back to her.
This moment.
The exhaustion she had accumulated over the past few days, along with the barely perceptible envy hidden deep in her heart, all transformed into a torrent of tears of happiness.
She hugged Richard tightly around the waist, buried her face in his chest, and cried loudly, making no attempt to hide her emotions.
Richard gently patted the back of her head.
The movements were gentle.
The maids clung to the doorframe, watching the two embracing inside the room, their faces filled with curiosity and secret delight.
Richard winked at them, signaling them to close the door.
The maids understood and gently closed the door, leaving the warmth and romance to the two people inside.
Richard cupped Lina's face, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her reddened eyes and wet eyelashes, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Don't cry, come and try my cooking. This is all seafood that I caught myself, it should taste good."
Lina sniffed and nodded, her eyes still filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Richard took her hand, led her to the table, and picked up the cutlery to serve her a piece of grilled eel.
"Try this. I sprinkled some lemon juice on it, I guarantee it won't taste fishy."
Lina took a bite, and the tender eel melted in her mouth, mixed with the refreshing lemon juice and the smoky aroma of charcoal. The taste was so delicious that it made her eyes light up.
She looked up at Richard, her heart filled with deep emotion, and choked out, "Delicious! Your cooking is truly superb."
On this night, there was no barrier between lord and maid, no busy chores and worries, only gentle candlelight, delicious dishes, and the warmth in each other's eyes.
Richard told her all the interesting things that happened at the beach: Im's embarrassing moment when he was sprayed with ink by a squid, the maids' excitement while collecting seashells, and the dazzling aurora borealis in the night sky...
Lina listened quietly, the tear stains in the corners of her eyes gradually fading, and the smile on her face growing sweeter.
