We arrived at a farmhouse. Unlike typical farmhouses, this one provided strawberry and cherry picking services, along with amusement facilities, and even a hill to hike.
The two couples were having a lot of fun. I wanted to stay at the farmhouse and wait for them, but Matthew insisted on dragging me along.
So, I ended up becoming their errand boy, handling their bags and taking photos for them.
Even Matthew, that punk, got so carried away that he started bossing me around, even making me lie on the ground to get the perfect angle for pictures of him and Isabelle.
I playfully threatened him, "You're really ditching your friend for a girl, huh? I'm letting it slide for now, but just wait till we get back—I'll deal with you then!"
Matthew just scratched his head and laughed. "It's not every day I get to be out with Isabelle. You know me. I'm not exactly rich. If I don't keep her happy, what if she leaves me?"
But couldn't he just find another girlfriend if she ditches him? He didn't have to stick around with gold diggers like Isabelle.
Of course, I couldn't say these thoughts out loud. After all, they were a couple, while I was just a roommate they had only known for a short while. It wasn't my place to comment on their relationship. So, I'd just have to put up with it.
Luckily, the girls were wearing heels, so they couldn't hike. Otherwise, I would've had to accompany them, and it would have been exhausting.
As the sun began to set, we finally sat down at the dinner table. Honestly, the meals served at the farmhouse were pretty good. Compared to the extravagant dishes served in hotels, I preferred meals like this—simple and authentic.
By the time we finished dinner, it was already dark out. Lucas immediately suggested, "I know a nice hotel nearby. How about we don't go back to campus tonight and stay there instead?
Everyone's expressions shifted upon hearing his suggestion. I couldn't help but smirk.
They had just announced their relationship today, and he already planned to stay at a hotel the same night. It felt like he was treating Charlotte and the rest of us like fools.
