Chapter 120
Mira thought to herself, perhaps she should just not take these two large lobsters. However, the words went through her throat once, but in the end, she still couldn’t bear to do it.
Hugh walked quickly with two foam boxes in his arms, Mira followed him into the elevator and pressed the floor button.
As the elevator ascended, Hugh cautioned, “This lobster is quite large. Be careful when you’re preparing it, don’t let the claws pinch your hand.”
Mira thought of the few large lobsters she had eaten that night and
nodded.
In fact, she had never cooked such a large lobster before and planned to look up the method on her phone that night.
“Also, the Wagyu steak that the butler gave you is more suitable for grilling and pan–frying.”
Mira paused, it seemed like there wasn’t a grill at home, it looked like she would have to buy one.
After arriving at the apartment, Mira unlocked it with her fingerprint.
Hugh placed the items on the shoe cabinet by the door, casting a glance inside.
This was an apartment under his own name, but he had so many properties that it was impossible for him to manage them all. Lucas had handed them over to a team below. He had only seen the interior design renderings.
Now, this apartment could hardly resemble the rendering, probably because Mira had heavily decorated it.
Cushions were spread on the sofa, many books were placed on the coffee table, and potted plants were also placed on the balcony. At the entrance, a pot of plastic flowers was placed in the foyer. There were too many small things inside, Hugh couldn’t take it all in.
What surprised him the most was the kitchen at the entrance, where there were pots and pans, a soy milk machine, and a juicer. All these items looked fairly new at first glance, but they all seemed to have been used.
Hugh was stunned, “Have you been cooking at home every day recently?”
“Otherwise?” Mira was baffled.
“Nowadays, young girls don’t really like to cook for themselves. When they’re hungry, they usually just order takeout,” Hugh thought of Luna, who was about the same age as Mira. She had never touched a pot or pan in her life, and it was already quite good that she knew how to light a stove.
Not to mention Luna, it was the same with Jacey.
“Eating takeout occasionally is fine, but it’s not hygienic if you eat it too often,” Mira said, pouring him a cup of warm water from the water dispenser, “Thank you, come over and eat what I cook tomorrow.”
Hugh grunted in acknowledgment, picking up his water and turning to leave. He glanced at Mira, her bare face illuminated under the warm light of the room. Behind her was a tastefully decorated yet not overly luxurious, spacious apartment.
But inexplicably, Hugh saw a hint of fireworks in this girl in her early
twenties.
On the way back, he was wondering what kind of person Mira really
was.
Thinking of Mira, who could cook for herself, and then thinking of his niece who wouldn’t even pick up a fallen soy sauce bottle at home, Hugh made a call to Lucas: “Buy a car worth around 100,000 for Luna overnight, she is not allowed to use the luxury cars at home until she finishes college.”
Lucas:
He didn’t even dare to imagine whether Luna would kill him if he sent the car over.

The next day.
It was the official opening day of Svallion University.
There were also courses in the first half of senior year, just not as many as before. By the second semester, it was time to go out for internships.
Mira bought a hand–held pancake at the school gate, eating while sending a Line message to Paige: “Sis, come over for dinner tonight. I’ve got two Ausland lobsters from the Leopold family. Do you have time to come over?”
Paige: “Then I’ll come over later.”
Mira: “My brother–in–law won’t say anything, right? You can also bring him along.”
Paige: “No need, he hasn’t really talked to me these past few days, and he had dinner with his daughter in the school cafeteria.”
Mira was speechless and felt heartache for her sister for a while.
