Dragon Loves Me

Meanwhile in the Dalton Mansion, after seeing the dresses Allora retired to get some sleep as she is busy with a lot of activities. Aivyn went towards the kitchen to prepare the Jasmine Tea for her mother.

The maids were startled when Ivy entered the kitchen. The kitchen room is sparkling and spacious. Maids are washing vegetables to prepare lunch, the chef is preparing his knives to cut vegetables and prepare delicious food.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Ivy. Paul came hurriedly after knowing the young miss was in the kitchen.

"Miss, Do you want anything? Please let me know. It is dangerous here" Paul said worriedly.

"Calm down, Paul. Nothing will happen. I came to prepare tea for my mother." Ivy explained excitedly.

"Miss, you will burn your .." before Paul completed his words Ivy inquired "Do we have Jasmine?"

"Umm.. Yes miss" Paul nodded with confusion.

"Please bring me some," Ivy said to Paul. Paul nodded and hurriedly went outside to bring the leaves and a few flowers.

Paul came with the things she asked for and Ivy started doing the tea. Nobody in the room made a noise. She took the kettle and started heating the water, water boiling is the key essence for the tea.

After making sure the water is boiled when bubbles start forming she adds the jasmine flowers before taking the kettle from the flame. She closed the lid and let it seep in the water for two minutes.

Once the lid is open the fresh scent of jasmine spreads throughout the room making the people in the kitchen relaxed. The aroma is fresh and novel. She poured the tea in a cup and added honey to her mother's liking, all her moves are relaxed and elegant.

She placed the teacup in the tray and took it to her mother with a satisfied smile. Once she left the room the people in the kitchen were rooted to their spots.

"Oh my god. Am I seeing things?"

"Our young miss is very talented. The tea she brewed is totally amazing"

"Just the aroma made me feel refreshed. How does it taste?"

"Umm. I guess Miss left some of the tea in the kettle."

"Hurry up and taste it chef"

Chef seemed hesitant at first but due to others he was forced to drink the tea. After taking the sip his eyes widened.

"Mother" Ivy called gently.

Allora opened her eyes and looked at Ivy. She woke up from her bed, Ivy helped her to lean over the bed headrest. After making sure Allora is comfortable, Ivy passed the tea cup to her.

"Mom, have some tea" Ivy gave the tea to her.

Allora looked at Ivy for two seconds before taking the tea and the beautiful aroma hit her nostrils. She felt like she was surrounded in the Jasmine garden and her mind felt at peace.

"Wow, It's Refreshing. Ivy you made it?" Allora inquired.

Ivy smiled and said "Yes mom. It is jasmine tea. Taste it and let me know"

Allora took the sip of the tea and closed her eyes in content. The sweet scented aroma makes her relax and unwind. The sweet floral scented Jasmine tea touches her taste buds and awakens them with bliss.

Ivy looked at the relaxed face of her mother and added "Mom this Jasmine tea is packed with antioxidants and has been linked to many impressive health benefits."

Allora looked at Ivy and nodded her head. "It tastes like marvellous Ivy."

Ivy smiled and continued "Yes mom, drinking jasmine tea may lower risk of heart disease, mental decline, and certain cancers."

"Really??" Allora looked at Ivy with surprise.

"Yes mom. And you need to taste a lot. I will make different types of coffee and tea for you" Ivy exclaimed happily.

"I will look forward to it dear" Allora smiled sweetly.

After having a short chat both of them went to have their lunch and Ivy thought of preparing a dinner for the family. She didn't inform Allora as well to surprise her.

After lunch Ivy left to her saying that she will rest for some time. When Allora also retired to her room Ivy sneaked out from her room and went towards the kitchen.

Ivy persuaded Paul to keep it a secret from mother and went inside the Kitchen to prepare a feast for all of them. The chef's eyes twinkled seeing Ivy and went towards her.

"Young Miss. Please let me know if any help is needed, ``the chef offered his help with a smile.

The chef is huge and has a muscular body. Ivy felt like she was an ant in front of him.

"Sure. What is your name chef?" Ivy asked with a smile.

Chef was mesmerized by her charming smile and said hurriedly "My name is Joseph, Miss"

"Okay Joseph. I will be in your care." Ivy said.

Joseph patted his chest and declared "I will be at your service Miss"

Ivy looked around the kitchen and selected crabs, chicken for meat along with eggplant, potato, string beans and a few other vegetables.

She rolled up her sleeves and started preparing the ingredients needed for the feast. She requested the maids for the ingredients she wanted as she is not aware where they are in this kitchen.

She is going to prepare Crab with spicy coconut gravy, Garlic Chicken, Eggplant fried rice, Dry fried String Beans, Smashed Potato.

Along with those she will make roasted bread and also plain rice. After making sure the menu was ready she started preparing the dishes. Joseph helped her in dealing with crabs, and Paul also helped her in cutting chicken.

Other maids handover the ingredients which she asked for. In no time the kitchen got busy and everyone engaged in their tasks.
