Arranged Marriage

CHAPTER 6

Rowell  POV 

when we got back inside the orphanage, i helped them get washed and get ready

Especially the younger ones that need the most help

Victoria went to the kitchen to help cook and prepare dinner is at 7:30pm

While the children were finishing their homework, i went out to take some candies in my car that i promised i would bring them next time i visit.

As  i passed the kitchen, i heard Victoria talking

I went to take a peek at what was going on

"what do i do?" I completely forgot to go grocery shopping. It's too late to go now. We will never make it in time for their dinner time" panicked Mrs. shin

I was about to offer help but i thought about what Mrs. shin said and she's probably right                                                                            
"uhm....What are they having today?" Victoria asked
                                                                                                             
"just their usual rice,egg and a few more dishes" Mrs. Shin said

Victoria started opening cupboards  and shelves that contained some food.

she looked in the fridge too

"i think i can make something from the available food that we have here" victoria

She started to put together the ingredients and look at them one by one

She thought about it for a moment and started getting work

"what are you making?" she asked victoria

"what my grandmother loved to feed me every holiday. I don't know if i still remember the steps since it;s been so long since i made it but ill try my best" Victoria said smiling as she organizes the foods

I didn't notice the corners of my mouth rising and curving into a smile

She's passionate about the children

I'm sure many of the other girl's i met would have just asked me to buy some food and let the children starve and stay up passed their bedtime

Some of them wouldn't even bother doing anything

it's the first for me to meet someone like Victoria

I moved away from the door and walked out to my car, smiling

She's different

Something about her is different....

I quickly took the candies and placed them somewhere the children can't get to

Then, i went to the living room where they were doing their  homework

After a while, they started to get fussy as they smelled the food

"what's that smell?" asked Miko who was excited

"this is different smell. Are we having a different meal?!" asked micah

"we're not eating  the vegetable and rice anymore?!!" Miko eyes widened in happiness

"YAYYYY!!!!!" cheered the children

Were they really bored with their food

They didn't have much variations

I frowned that must be boring

"calm down. calm down. Why are you so happy?" i asked them as they came closer to me

"it was the same menu every dinner! I was getting sick of it!" Micah explained
