Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 460

Susanna couldn't help but sigh as she thought about how her own cooking was definitely not going to please Hull.

She heard him say from behind, "You can leave now."

"Okay," Susanna replied, trying to mask her relief as she turned to exit the room.

"But I can't cook. I mean it," Susanna confessed, turning back with a pleading look.

Hull raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have a cooking app on your phone?"

Susanna was shocked. How did he know that? Given his wealth, hiring a cook wouldn't even put a dent in his fortune, so why was he putting her through this culinary trial?

"Silas will bring the groceries," Hull replied, effectively ending the discussion.

Hull watched her leave, her reluctance almost palpable even from behind. A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Evening, Susanna," he greeted her politely.

"Whoa, hold on!" Susanna exclaimed, flustered. "What are you bringing?"
