Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 488

He squinted at the dish before Susanna, trying to make sense of it. Finally, he gave up and asked, “Boss, what are you eating? It looks like something out of a Halloween prank!”

Susanna sighed, her patience wearing thin.

Enzo and Silas exchanged glances, thinking the same thing: Barnaby was a real piece of work.

“Seriously, Barnaby would make a perfect comic relief if Finley ever goes on some wild adventure through Muliba Desert,” Enzo muttered as he moved to sit in the corner, wisely distancing himself.

Susanna glanced at her pasta, questioning if Barnaby was out of his mind. Could anyone really be that clueless?

Hull shot Barnaby a stern look. “Why don’t you tell us, what does it look like to you, then?”

Barnaby hesitated, the wheels in his mind turning slowly. “Uh, it looks like something you’d feed to a pet pig, right?”

Susanna buried her head deeper into her plate, wishing she could disappear.

Hull wasn’t about to let Barnaby off the hook. “There’s more in the pot. Help yourself.”

Barnaby cringed at the idea. “I’m not hungry,” he lied, eyes darting from Hull to Susanna, silently cursing her culinary skills.

“Eat,” Hull insisted, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Barnaby swallowed hard and nodded, realizing he couldn’t refuse. As he trudged toward the kitchen, Silas said, “Susanna made it herself. You better appreciate it. No picky eaters here.”
