La Grande Maison.
Casey fiddled with the phone while Kelvin was out.
She learned how to make oxtail bones from Aimee yesterday, remembering all the ingredients she needed.
Casey did some work on her phone and bought all the ingredients she needed.
Casey really didn't know and was not at all sure if she can do what Aimee did.
The ingredients were delivered quickly, and Casey checked them one by one, making sure nothing was missing. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to show off her skills.
Aimee said that oxtail bones can be simmered, and she didn't need to be afraid to wait too long.
On the contrary, the longer the stew was made, the more flavor can enter the oxtail bones, which will be more delicious.
With Aimee's words, Casey wasn't nervous at all.
She didn't believe she can not make delicious oxtail bones following Aimee's instructions step by step.
The more Casey thought about it, the more confident she became.
However, when Casey did get started, she found that some of these things were really easier to think about than to do.
She overestimated her skills and imagined that she had the same amazing cooking skills as Aimee.
At every step, Casey stumbled, and most importantly, at every step, she took great care.
Especially during the dressing step, Casey was literally walking on eggshells.
But even so, Casey was subjected to the cruel reality.
She did not control her strength and directly sprinkled down a handful of peppercorns. When she reacted, she hurriedly fished them out.
Casey was really worried that the peppercorns will destroy the whole pot of oxtail bones.
That would be embarrassing.
Fortunately, Casey was able to mend it and not let it end too badly.
When Kelvin returned, he opened the door and smelled a strong smell.
He was stunned for a moment, and then walked in somewhat incredulously.
Walking into the kitchen, Kelvin saw Casey in her little apron, staring at the pot.
Little did she notice that he had come back.
Kelvin felt a little helpless that it was her first time to neglect him.
He walked over, stood behind Casey, wrapped his hands around Casey's waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Casey then looked up at Kelvin in surprise, and her voice was full of joy, "Kelvin, you're back. I made delicious food. Am I good?"
When Kelvin heard this, he looked at Casey tenderly in the face and asked, "What did you do?"
Casey smiled as she opened the lid and said, "Oxtail bones. I learned it from Aimee. Kelvin, do you have appetite?"
Kelvin smelled it, and it was really good.
He rubbed Casey's head and said, "Why are you cooking so hard all of a sudden?"
"It's not a hard work," Casey said, shaking her head. "I want to see if I have what it takes to be a good wife and mother."
Kelvin's heart softened, and he put his arm around Casey even harder.
He kissed Casey on the ear and said, "Can't wait to marry me?"
Casey blushed, but didn't shy away from saying, "Kelvin, I like you. I want to be with you forever. I want to marry you."
Kelvin turned Casey to face him.
He kissed Casey on the forehead, and then, with great solemnity, he said, "How about I tell your grandpa first?"
Casey was stunned, then a strong sense of tension came over her.
It was one thing to think about things herself, but it was quite another when it came to this moment.
Casey looked at Kelvin and, with great difficulty, asked, "Kelvin, have you really made up your mind?"
"What? You're afraid I'm gonna regret it?" Kelvin wondered. What was the girl worried about?
Casey said, "Not really. I just thought, you know, maybe you'd want to reconsider?"
