Desires Die Hard

Just as the first light of dawn broke the following day, Anya was in a good mood due to what happened yesterday. She intentionally woke up early to make some nutritious food for her children.

Her children were starting to get picky about the food they ate lately and it seemed that they did not like the steamed egg dish Anya’s aunt made for them.

Anya was making pumpkin congee with some vegetable–stuffed dough balls for them.

She obviously had to wake up early to make those. She woke up at six in the morning and began cooking in the kitchen after she had freshened herself up.

Her cooking skills were considered acceptable as she would often cook alongside her mother when her mother was still

alive. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Although her cooking was not as good as her mother’s, it was still acceptable.

However, so much had happened after that and moreover, she had already applied to be a designer and would often have to work overtime. So, she did not have much time to spare to cook for her children.

Every time Anya thought about that, she would feel incredibly guilty for not doing enough for her children.

She had planned to make it up to both of her children whenever she was free in the future. With that thought in mind, Anya took a deep breath and began cooking. She started by cutting the pumpkin into small cubes and after washing them clean, she placed them in the pot of congee to stew.

After that, she began making the vegetable–stuffed dough balls.

Since both

think of a el and Eudora were a little picky and did not like eating leafy vegetables, all she could do w way to get them to eat some, or else it might affect their health in the future when they did not get enough nutrients.

Anya took the carrots and broccoli out from the fridge and started washing them clean. She then cut them into small cubes before blending them in the blender. After that, she stuffed the blended mix in the dough.

She sprinkled some sesame seeds and salt on the dough balls after that.

She let the dough balls set for a moment before placing them in the steamer.

The entire process took almost an hour. The dough balls were ready by the time the pumpkin congee was ready as well.

Anya poured them into a smaller bowl to cool. Her aunt woke up when she allowed the food to cool. She decided to take a look in the kitchen when she heard the commotion before she had even brushed her teeth.

Her aunt was curious to see Anya making breakfast this early in the morning as she asked, “Anya, you woke up this early in the morning to make breakfast?”

Anya turned to look at her aunt as she replied with a smile, “Yeah. It’s been so long since I’ve made any food for the kids. Since I don’t have to go to work at the office today, I decided to cook something for them.”

“Didn’t you hurt your fingers last night? You can’t let your wounds get wet or else it’ll affect your design skills,” Anya’s aunt replied. She knew that Anya loved her children but she got hurt last night so her aunt continued in a caring tone, “You don’t

have to work so hard. Here, I can help you.”

“My fingers are fine now. I just wanted to make something for them to eat,” Anya replied while taking her apron off. She then intentionally showed her aunt her fingers. Although her fingers were bleeding last night, It was only a shallow cut and it seemed that her fingers had already recovered. She then said, “I’m already done cooking, aunty. Let’s move out after we’re done eating breakfast, okay?”

It would be better for her to move out sooner rather than later to prevent being cornered by the MacMillans and Evan at the same time.

How annoying.

Anya’s aunt took a close look at the wounds on her fingers and after she was absolutely sure that Anya was fine, she said, “Alright then. I’ll brush my teeth first.”

“Alright, I’ll check on the kids.”

The duo went their separate ways as her aunt went to freshen herself up while Anya went to watch over her children. The children woke up around eight in the morning as Anya and her aunt each carried a child with them to freshen up.

After that, the children were fed milk and breakfast. Since Anya was no longer breastfeeding and her children had already gotten used to the taste of milk powder, she was able to relax a little.

After everything was done, the little rascals went to play with themselves in the living room. Anya then gave Cindy a call to inform her that she would be moving that day.

After that, Anya called the moving company to help her move.
