Chapter 747
"Then we shall try our best for the baby! My lovely wife, you can do this!" Frederick looked encouraging, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
"Well, let's try our best! Hubby, can you help me rinse the blueberries? I will be in charge of eating them!" Shyly, Alicia pulled his sleeve and smiled. Frederick bopped her nose and took one of the boxes. Then, he went downstairs.
With the chocolates in her hands, Alicia couldn't help humming a tune while pirouetting to her table in the room. She placed the exquisite box on one side and adjusted it to the best angle.
The corner of the bedroom become her temporary study then. On the shelf, there were a variety of small gifts, including food and other usable items, and all of them were given by him!
She sank into the sofa and habitually took a doll and put it in front of her legs. Looking at the dazzling variety of items on it, her heart was content. While she propped her chin and stared blankly, a white porcelain bowl was being put in front of her. Inside the bowl were full of blueberries, covered with droplets of water.
Frederick leaned against the table and asked, "What were you thinking about that you're so lost in your thoughts?"
She took a blueberry and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and sour, and she was grinning beautifully.
She took another one and put it to next to Frederick's mouth.
"Just looking at the shelf makes me so happy! It's going to be stuffed with all the things you gifted me, and there is no space to put anything else. Next time, please wait until I finish the chocolates!"
Frederick lowered his head and couldn't help but let out a faint laugh. "Naha, we have so much space, and you think we can't store all of your tiny knick-knacks?"
He raised his hand and took out an empty box. "Why are you keeping this? It's a waste of space!"
"Hey, don't throw it! " Alicia grabbed it back and put it back in place saying,
"This is the first lipstick gift box you've given me! It's very memorable. We can even keep something in it next time! Look, it's so exquisite!"
The custom-made hard casing box with a ribbon doubled as a good items organizer! It was the first gift he got her after returning from a work trip! At that time, their relationship was still far from where they were then. However, looking back, it felt great! Everything made up a part of their growing relationship.
"Silly girl!" Frederick replied.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Frederick pinched her face and his gaze softened. He assured her, "There will be more in the future. Do you really want to turn this place to a recycling station?"
In the past, he could not stand having changes in his room. Then, it was covered with her items, but he was surprisingly getting used to it. "It's not too late to throw it away later! Anyway, I still like it for now! Don't throw my things away without my consent!" Alicia warned. Alicia took another blueberry with her fork and fed it to Frederick. Frederick shook his head, so she stuffed it into her own mouth instead. "Eat more blueberries, it's good for your eyes! Yours might get just as beautiful as mine!"
As she muttered, Alicia stuffed a few more blueberries into her mouth and narrowed her eyes. Frederick then put on a faint smile and thought to himself. Could she be doing that for the sake of the baby as well?
She was really tormenting herself with all her tasks! In fact, the food prepared by the nutritionist at home had already taken into consideration all nutrients required to facilitate pregnancy.
However, seeing that she was so being dedicated and also happy, Frederick did not say anything further.
Ever since Victoria knew that Trevor was coming home to celebrate her birthday, her anticipation was building up as it would be their first birthday together after getting married. She looked forward to it every day.
That day, she finished her work for the day and returned home early. Once again, she instinctively went downstairs to see Shirley!
She talked to Shirley on her own for a long time. Seeing that the dog suddenly turn its head away, Victoria stopped and said, "Do you think I'm too long-winded? Shirley, you're getting less lovely! Is it because I stopped bringing you nice snacks?"
"There is no leftover for you today! Next time, all right? I will remember to ask someone to leave you some food! You reminded me of someone! You big glutton..."
Getting up and stretching her body, she recalled the incident where someone had once gone to the hospital because of eating too much of her food. Victoria couldn't help giggling.
"Haha..."
Suddenly, she felt overwhelmed with
the happiness of being spoiled. Looking at the sunset, Victoria felt

that life was quite good. She murmured, "In the future, I will improve myself and won't let you both's stomachs suffer anymore! I will come back to see your tomorrow!"
Then, Victoria seemed to have remembered something. She turned around and left in a hurry. Her steps were as light as a feather.
She was looking for Aunt McGowan around the house. Finally, she found her in the kitchen. Seeing that she was checking the cooking ingredients, Victoria went over and said,
"Aunt McGowan, let me help you!"
"No, no! Madam Victoria, how can I let you do that? We've already finished checking the ingredients!" Aunt McGowan replied. After she made note on the booklet on one side, Aunt McGowan made some orders, turned around and said,
"Madam Victoria, is there something? It's so noisy here, so let's go to the front!"
Returning to the small kitchen in the main house, Victoria pleaded in a dull voice,
"Aunt McGowan, it's that... I wanted to ask you, what does Trevor like to eat? Is there something simple that he likes, which I can learn to cook quickly? Can you teach me how to cook? You know about my cooking skills..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Victoria's face was blushing. She thought to herself, "I have caused my husband and his pet to be hospitalized. No one has ever screwed up so badly as I did!"
"The main point was that she doesn't know about her husband's preferences yet! What a shame!" Victoria thought.
In the past, she had been trying to figure it out on her own. Hence, Victoria felt that she could not be repeating the same method. She had to learn! If she couldn't manage a lot at one time, she should definitely be able to master one dish at the very least. If she couldn't master it in a day, she should be able to master it in a month or a year! Since she was going to learn, she'd better be learning a dish that Trevor liked!
What he liked most likely would not be easy either!
Thinking about it, she felt inexplicably dejected!
"Haha..."
Looking at her lovingly, Aunt McGowan couldn't help but chuckled and said,
"Madam Victoria, as long as you put in the effort,
Master Trevor will devour it even if it is something simple! He isn't a picky eater, but if we are to talk about what he liked the most, it would be pepper meat wraps. He usually craves for it once in a while!"
"Pepper meat wraps? That should be very spicy!"
While Victoria muttered, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes. Why did she recall that he didn't usually eat spicy food?
"Yes! Master Trevor usually doesn't
eat spicy food, as he feels that it
would increase the heat in his body! He said that it's an irritant, and his body is already heated up from stress! Nheless, this pepper meat wrap is still his favorite! Get
the less spicy peppers and clean out the seeds to make them less spicy. He can finish the whole dish by himself! There was a period of time where he had to have it every other day! Only during the last two years has he been so busy that he seldom ate at home. That's why he eats less of it now, or maybe he might be having it outside..."
The most important thing was that the dish was similar to wrapping a dumpling. It shouldn't be too difficult, so she should be able to master it quickly!
Thankfully, Aunt McGowan was willing to tell her more after they got comfortable with each other.
Upon hearing that, Victoria was motivated in an instant. She said, "Aunt McGowan, can you please teach me? I would love to learn!"
