Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 458

Hull heard her say she was in pain and paused momentarily before letting her go. "Go make me some oatmeal."

Susanna blinked in surprise. "Huh?"

Oatmeal? Really?

Hull added, "Apple oatmeal."

Susanna's eyes widened. "Apple oatmeal?"

Apple oatmeal was one of the few things she could actually make. She'd prepared it once for Stella when she had a fever.

"But wait a minute. Isn't there a cook?"

Hull replied, "I fired her."

Susanna stood there, speechless.

Fired her? Why? When she first arrived here, there was no cook. And after just one day of cooking? Being someone close to Ronald, this guy surely isn't short on the funds to hire some help, right?’

"Why?" she asked, bewildered.

Hull simply replied, "Her cooking wasn't good."

"I thought it was fine," Susanna said instinctively.

She wasn't picky about food, finding almost anything palatable. But Hull was clearly not like her.

Without another word, Hull headed back to his room.

Not getting any response, Susanna shrugged and went downstairs.

The kitchen layout was familiar, but Hull's villa had an open-plan kitchen. Susanna rummaged around and found the oats and the apples left.

While cooking, she called Stella.

Soon enough, Stella picked up, sounding a bit out of breath. "Susie?"

"What are you up to?" Susanna asked.
