Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



"Please forgive me if I mess up. I'll definitely try hard to learn!" Victoria pleaded.

Holding Aunt McGowan's arm, Victoria pleaded. In that case, she must succeed in learning to cook the dish! She would pick a dish regardless, so she might as well pick one that Trevor loved.

Full of fighting spirit, Victoria made up her mind.

"Okay, okay!" Aunt McGowan patted her hand and nodded while saying,

"Actually, this dish is very simple. To put it simply, it is to insert the meat stuffing into the hollow pepper, and then fry it! It is similar to making dumplings, except that you're not required to pinch the side closed. You just need to control the strength when putting the stuffing in. The methods are also very simple. You just need to choose the right pepper, marinate the meat stuffing, and prepare the sauce. Coincidentally, we have green peppers today, so I will demonstrate to you and teach you how to mix the minced meat. You can even use it to wrap the dumplings..."

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt McGowan!" Victoria uttered.

Victoria was very excited as she listened. Then, she followed Aunt McGowan and started preparing. First, she had to get herself familiar with the ingredients. That time, Aunt McGowan took out a kitchen weigh for her. Finally, she didn't have to estimate the weighs using her eyes and hands anymore. Instead, she could precisely measure with the weigh. Even though it was a bit of trouble, she enjoyed learning.

After learning for a while, only did she realize that even her technique of holding a knife was wrong all the while. No wonder every time when she cut the vegetables, it turned out so ugly and her hands would also get numb from it.

It seemed that cooking required a lot of knowledge as well.

Finally, Victoria was proud to say that, she could make a dish that was edible as well. The taste was just right, although its appearance was still a little unpleasant to the eyes.

With the guidance of Aunt McGowan, Victoria seemed to have a support system. In the next few days, whenever she had some free time, she practised cutting potatoes and carrots in the kitchen, as well as making the meat stuffings. She also prepared the condiments on her own.

In the evening, she would practice several times. At first, Aunt McGowan would keep an eye on her. Later, seeing that she could get through the whole process on her own, Aunt McGowan went on to do her own things.

Although she knew how to make the dish, Victoria knew that she still needed more practice to perfect it. The food would always have some burnt parts, or sometimes the meat would still be uncooked. Sometimes when she was in a hurry, she would be in a mess.

As her birthday was approaching, she was hoping that she could make a dish that he liked on that day. Then, they could have a candlelight dinner together as well as a graceful dance.

In the following days, Victoria practiced very diligently and seriously. She did her best from selecting the peppers to the final tasting stage without any help. It was like she was sitting for an examination every time, and she even carried a notebook along and constantly reminded herself what to take note of the next time.

In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday. Finally, she was able to serve an edible plate of pepper meat wrap.

She liked spicy food all the while, but she disliked how meat was usually oily. However, for that dish, she decided that she would put her diet plan on hold until her birthday was over. Dinner was going to be rice and pepper meat wraps again that night. It was the first time Victoria ate with such bliss, and she even finished a whole plate of it. Thereafter, she went to pour herself a glass of cold water and said,

"It's so spicy! Leaving the seeds intact is really the next-level of spiciness!"

However, it was really enjoyable, and it was very appetizing! She ate twice the amount she usually had for lunch!

Rubbing her bulging belly, Victoria was filled with a sense of accomplishment. She prepared another set with her leftover ingredients. She was planning to make it again the next morning. She was worried that she would get rusty at it, or that her accomplishment that day might just be purely out of luck.

She was busy in the kitchen until late at night. She then dragged her tired body back to her room.

As soon as she took a shower, her cell phone rang. When she saw it was a call from Trevor, she quickly pressed the answer button. "Hubby, it's me! Good evening, haha..." Victoria greeted excitedly.

"What are you up to? Did you go and have fun when I am not around?" Trevor asked while he wondered. Victoria always told him that she was busy and not to disturb her. Also, it was already past ten o'clock, and she had only picked up his call after he tried calling for three times. "No, I didn't!"

Victoria stuck out her tongue and said,

"I'm a good girl. I came home early every day to check on Shirley! I was bathing and missed your call! Hubby, Shirley misses you very much. Do you miss Shirley as well?"

Hearing her sweet and slightly coquettish tone, Trevor couldn't help but giggled, "Haha... Yes, I missed her!"

Was it that hard to say that she missed him? Why did she have to use Shirley as an excuse every time? He guessed the next question would be about when he was going home? Trevor thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, Victoria responded with a giggle too and said,

"Hehe... Hubby, I went home yesterday to visit my parents and had dinner at home! My parents are in good, Kealth, and everything is peaceful at home. Mom made me

one

egg crisps, and Caroline was se

jealous. She also said that my egg crisp crushed her egg tarts, haha..."

"Also, I found out a little secret. Caroline seems to be in a relationship and she kept looking at her cell phone. When I asked her, she even denied it! She also snatched the bunny mascot from my purse, but I didn't let her take advantage of me.

When I left, I took all the egg crisps with me!"

Over a long period of time time throughout the call, Victoria did not stop talking. On the other end, Trevor gave a slight response once in a while. He felt extremely relaxed.

However, by the end of the conversation, Victoria did not ask him when he would come home. She didn't even urge him to come home earlier. It was totally out of his expectation.

"Oh my, have I been talking for so long? Why didn't you remind me? You must have been so annoyed listening to me, right?" Victoria said while smacking lightly on her chatty lips.

She wasn't sure what she had talked about, but she had spoken for so long that her mouth had gone dry!

She was in such a good mood that she didn't have time to reflect on herself. Before he could say anything, she said, "I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed soon. Hubby, you should go to bed early as well! Good night, kisses..."

After saying that, she even gave a light peck on the cell phone. She was like a schoolgirl, madly in love.

The corner of his lips instantly curled, and Trevor

also responded happily, "Good night, go to bed early! I booked a flight at one p.m.!"

Victoria felt as if she had won the first prize and grinned widely. After regaining her composure, she said," I will be waiting for you! I'll hang up first, please take good care of yourself!"

After nagging him for a while longer, Victoria hung up the phone.

Lying on the bed while hugging her bunny, Victoria giggled mischievously. That night, when she closed her eyes, the corner of her mouth was still curled. She had a sweet dream...

The next morning, Victoria purposely

el.ne

got up early and made the pepper meat wrap once again. Even though she might have burnt it with too much heat, it still tasted very delicious. During breakfast that day, her lips were swollen for the spiciness again. Nheless, she felt great.

Before going out, she sent a message to Trevor, urging him to be careful on the way home.

Since it was her birthday and she

had not much work to do, Victoria took half a day off. She went shopping and got herself a new outfit as a gift. Before going home, she even ordered a small cake for herself and bought a bouquet of réses to decorate the table for dinner.

She had spent the whole afternoon preparing everything. She just wanted to celebrate her birthday the best way possible since she was going to celebrate it...Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
