Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 187

"I'm not that hungry today, maybe it's because I've had too much alcohol recently while entertaining clients and my stomach doesn't feel good! Next time, I'll have two plates when I feel better!"

At first, Frederick was enjoying himself but for no reason, he suddenly lost his appetite. He had a feeling in his gut that he would feel guilty if he ate the ravioli.

"You men are really so careless, not taking care of yourselves! You drank on an empty stomach again, didn't you? Don't eat if your stomach's upset. I'll make you some noodles! The water's still boiling, it should be quick, you will just make do right? Serves you right for not telling me sooner..."

With that, Danica got up and went to prepare the noodles.

Staring into space, Frederick felt so irritated he was about to blow. His irritation was growing by the minute and unconsciously, he clenched his fists.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Frederick Clements! What is wrong with you?"

"Are you that demeaning? Why do you keep longing for something you can't have?" Thoughts like these crossed his mind at that moment.

For no apparent reason, he just wanted to go home to that heartless woman. That was why he felt depressed.

It had only been a while, but how could he have gotten used to that woman?

Forcing his eyes on the figure moving around in the kitchen, Frederick still felt perplexed.

"She is still the same, the way he liked, gentle and virtuous but why couldn't he calm down? Wasn't this the warmth I was longing for? A smile and hot dinner to come home to..." he pondered.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Danica came out with a bowl of noodles.

"There you go, it's noodles in broth. I put in some vegetables, an egg, and some meat floss to enhance the taste. It should be easy to digest, it's simple but it's good for you!"

"That's great, thanks! Eat your food, it's getting cold!"

The noodles she cooked both looked and smelled delicious. It even tasted good, there was even ham in it.

As he stirred the noodles around, Frederick's gaze darkened as he thought of something. Looking at the noodles, he noticed that Danica, who couldn't cook before, reminded him of Alicia at that instant. Everything had turned easy for her.

She was different from when she used to shriek just by turning on the stove. Vegetables cut by her would have been uneven in different shapes but currently, she could even slice meat evenly.

A thought hit him—she must have practiced hard all these years!

Even when they were together, she would only cook occasionally. What had happened to her over the past few years?

Taking a bite, the taste was bland and the noodles were of the right consistency. They were actually quite good. Once again, Frederick took another bite to validate his deduction.

"This is really good, almost as good as noodles from a restaurant! Your cooking skills have really improved! I remember a time when you would fail to cook eight out of ten times! You would cook noodles into a broth or leave it uncooked!"

"When was it? Was I that bad?"

Laughing jokingly, their eyes met and Danica suddenly came to a realization. The smile on her lips stiffened.

"Have you been cooking for the past few years?"
