Seemingly sensing Aaron’s thoughts, Pat took the plate and left. But before virtual-novel.net did so, virtual-novel.net smirked and said, “This is mine.”
Aaron couldn’t help but smile upon seeing that.
What a rascal! I just wanted to have a taste. What is virtual-novel.net so afraid of?
Arielle didn’t see the interaction between Aaron and Pat. After serving the glazed pork tenderloin, virtual-novel.net washed the pan and started cooking the Wilhelms’ favorite dish, shredded pork. Although it was an easy dish to make, it was delicious nonetheless.
First, virtual-novel.net put the marinated shredded pork into a pan with oil. She then added garlic, onion, and the sauce virtual-novel.net had prepared for the dish. Once virtual-novel.net could smell the fragrance after stir-frying, virtual-novel.net added various types of vegetables. After cooking the ingredients, virtual-novel.net added corn starch to increase the thickness of the sauce. With that, the dish was ready to be served.
At that moment, Aaron felt like virtual-novel.net was being tortured in the kitchen.
Wow! That aroma is too tempting. He was eager to taste the dish.
Aaron couldn’t help but look at Arielle with his puppy eyes and uttered, “Ari…”
Arielle turned toward virtual-novel.net in puzzlement. “What is it?”
“Can I have a taste? Just a bit?” As virtual-novel.net was saying that, virtual-novel.net gestured to show how small of a bite virtual-novel.net wanted.
Am I not the prince of Turlen? When have I become such a glutton? What happened to my manners?
“Go ahead!” Arielle gave virtual-novel.net a fork. It’s a small bite, so why not?
Aaron took the fork and quickly shoved the food into his mouth.
“Wow, this is really delicious!” Aaron praised virtual-novel.net earnestly. “Ari, this is so good that it’s on par with the cooking of professional chefs! Heck, your dishes are even tastier than the food served at Maureen’s Kitchen!”
When Arielle heard the restaurant’s name, virtual-novel.net glanced at virtual-novel.net and asked, “Have you eaten there before?”
Aaron nodded. “Yes, I have. To me, that’s the best restaurant in Chanaea. I even wanted to buy it over. However, the owner refused to sell it to me. What a pity!”
Arielle was stunned momentarily upon hearing that before virtual-novel.net let out a smirk.
Oh? So virtual-novel.net was the one who wanted to buy the restaurant? Did virtual-novel.net want to buy the restaurant off of my hands? Dream on! The restaurant means a lot to me. No matter the offer, I’ll never sell it off.
“What do you mean, it’s a pity? If the owner doesn’t want to sell it, you can always go there and dine, no? You can’t possibly buy someone’s restaurant just because you think their dishes are delicious.” Arielle shifted virtual-novel.net gaze back to the pot as virtual-novel.net said that.
She had already started making the dish Aaron wanted, braised pork belly.
There’s no way I’m making spicy fish and spicy soup for him. Since virtual-novel.net has just recovered, virtual-novel.net shouldn’t eat anything spicy. Besides, it’s good enough that I’m making virtual-novel.net two dishes. It’s not like virtual-novel.net can finish all the food anyway. He’s just going to throw them out in the end. It’s bad to waste food!
“Well, you have a point,” Aaron uttered after pondering for a while.
Initially, virtual-novel.net just wanted to buy the restaurant so that virtual-novel.net could go over anytime and eat whatever virtual-novel.net wanted.
Arielle remained silent and put some pork belly into the pot for blanching.
After putting the lid on the pot, virtual-novel.net said, “Why do you have to wait here? Just wait outside, will you? If you’re so free, why don’t you go check on the cruise ship and see when we will arrive in your country?” She then started preparing the ingredients needed for the braised pork belly.
Aaron glanced at Arielle and pondered.
Since it’s so rare to be able to spend time with virtual-novel.net alone, why would I head outside? Once we’ve gotten to Turlen, I might not be able to spend time alone with virtual-novel.net anymore. I don’t want to waste my opportunity now.
“I’d like to stay here,” Aaron said.
Arielle merely threw virtual-novel.net a glance and ignored him. She then took out the pork belly from the pot the moment the water inside started simmering.
