Dragon Loves Me

Chapter 7 - Change



The dining hall is spacious and splendid. It can accommodate around twenty people and its decoration is aesthetic. From floor carpet to ceiling everything is very artistic and beautiful.

In the middle Aivyn 's father is seated. To his right Ronald, to his left Allora and Aivyn seated. The atmosphere is very lively and filled with warmth.

'I wonder who is the engineer for this mansion and did all the interior decorations. Those people are really talented,' Aivyn thought to herself and observed the surroundings.

"Ivy, What happened dear?" Allora's voice brings back Ivy from her thoughts..

"Ah.. It's nothing, Mother." Ivy said and took the spoon to eat.

"Good Morning Miss." an elderly voice was heard by Ivy and a bowl was placed in front of her.

Aivyn looked at the person and recognized him in an instant. He is the most loved and caring person after her parents.

"Good Morning Paul" Ivy greeted cheerfully and Paul smiled back at her.

Paul is the butler in the Dalton manor and he looked after the two kids from their birth. The two kids are attached to him and he is like a family to them.

'Porridge. Again' Ivy thought to herself.

"Paul, Mother. I don't want to eat porridge. I want to eat something tasty or spicy food" Ivy complained.

"No dear. Doctor suggested that you should not eat spicy food because you have a very sensitive stomach and you are unwell" Allora nagged.

"NO, Mother. Father, I want to eat scrambled eggs or French toast or spicy noodles. Anything is fine" Ivy asked with her pitiful eyes.

"Ahem." Simon, who wouldn't stand against his daughter's pitiful gaze, looked at Allora to pacify but the latter gave him a stern gaze. Simon avoided that gaze skilfully and looked at Paul who was looking somewhere but not at Simon.

Simon sighed and looked at Ivy who was on the verge of crying.

"Paul at least gave her an egg dish" Simon stated.

Before Paul spoke, Ronald interrupted.

"Aivyn , what did you say now? What is French toast? '' Ronald asked with confusion.

'Holy Moly. I fu*ked up. But I am carving for those things' Ivy thought to herself.

Ivy looked at Ronald and thought for an excuse and suddenly she said "I just read it in some books brother. I just want to try it"

"OH" Ronald buys her explanation as she is always locked herself in the study room. Ivy sighed in relief.

"But miss. Those items we don't know the recipe for." Paul said hesitatingly.

"Don't worry. I will help you" Ivy declared, causing everyone's eyes to pop out of their sockets.

"Ivy, You will cook. No that won't happen. What if you injured yourself in the process" Simon was the first to interrupt.

"Yes Ivy. It is dangerous" Allora said.

"Okay. For now I will listen to you. But once I recover fully. You need to let me cook. I will cook you a sumptuous meal" Ivy said excitedly.

She understands that with her current situation they won't let her anywhere near the kitchen. And the real Aivyn did not step into the kitchen so for now it is better to listen to their words. I have plenty of time to make them taste my food.

She is a vivid lover of food and she used to cook for herself a lot. Whenever she goes to other countries she misses her home food. So to avoid that she learned cooking and she is confident enough to cook for a family with her skills.

Allora and Simon nodded half heartedly. They don't want their daughter to suffer and also her health will be damaged if she inhales the smoke.

"Great. Paul please bring me boiled eggs with pepper and salt as well" Ivy asked happily

Paul nodded and went inside to bring her the boiled eggs.

The trio looked at the Ivy who was a bit different and unfamiliar to them. They don't understand how a person can change in one night.

"Father, Mother, Brother I want to tell you something" Ivy said suddenly causing everyone to come out of their thoughts.

"Yes dear. Go ahead" Simon replied.

Ivy took a deep breath to calm her down. She wants to make sure to change their thinking about her. She wants them to recognize her for who she is.

She finally got an opportunity to feel the love and warmth of the family and she doesn't want to lose this. Maybe others call it selfish or greedy but here she doesn't care about other views.

She wants to enjoy her life and wants to protect her parents. If she listens and thinks about other views she can't achieve her goals.

She didn't know why this happened but she thought maybe this was for her and everyone's good. If she becomes strong and protects this family then there is a value for her life.

"I.. I want to change" Ivy declared.

"What?" Allora was the first one to react.

"What do you want to change dear? Your Room?" Simon asked.

"Yes, or you want to change your outfit. It is really good, Ivy" Ronald added.

Ivy was speechless for their words. What are they thinking?

"Ahem. No not that. I want to change my self" Ivy stated.

Before everyone replied she added "I know I am sick and unhealthy. But after yesterday's experience I came to understand that you guys will not be by my side every time. I don't mean that you are not looking after me but I want to stand for myself"

"I know it is a bit difficult to adjust to the changes in me but I really want to change. And I am looking into my health issues these days. I am reading different books on how to improve my health and other things which I am interested" Ivy referred to the book she read last night. After reading that she understands that real ivy is planning to do something about her health.

"So dad, mom and brother. Please support me and encourage me. Without you guys I will not achieve my goals" Ivy stated while looking into everyone's eyes.

Simon, Allora and Ronald are looking at Ivy without speaking a single word which causes Ivy to tense up.
