Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 562

Dr. Lester said, "He hasn't had much appetite recently; he just can't seem to stomach anything. If you're free, could you whip up some sick-person-friendly grub for him?"

Cornelia replied, "My cooking skills are pretty average, nothing compared to his personal chefs. If he can't even choke down their food, he probably wouldn't be able to eat mine either."

Dr. Lester countered, "Sometimes, appetite isn't all about the taste of the food. It might have something to do with who's doing the cooking. He might be sick of the fancy chef food; a change of menu might just do the trick."

Cornelia asked, "How long has he gone without eating?"

Dr. Lester responded, "Not too long, about two days."

Two days without food and that was not considered a long time?

Cornelia started to soften, "Alright. The hospital is not far from my place, I'll go home and cook something, then bring it over."

Dr. Lester, grinning from ear to ear, shook Cornelia's hand firmly, "Thank you so much."

With Cornelia on board, he didn't have to deal with the big shot himself.

Seeing Dr. Lester's beaming face, Cornelia suddenly got the feeling that she'd walked into a trap.

.....

Marcus was a hard-to-please foodie, who only ate organic vegetables grown by the Hartley Group's farm, along with the poultry and livestock raised there. To cook something up to his tastes, you'd need not only good cooking skills but also top-notch ingredients.

She started by cleaning the chicken, blanched it in boiling water, then put it in the pot with some veggies.

While the chicken soup was simmering, Cornelia washed the rice to prepare for the pumpkin porridge.

Since the omelette wouldn't take long to cook, she planned to make it when the soup was almost ready, so it could be delivered to the hospital immediately.

To make a decent pot of soup, it would take at least two hours. During this break, Cornelia sent Natalia a WhatsApp message, "Ms. Reese, could you spare a moment for a chat?"

Someone quickly replied, "Ms. Stewart, I hope you understand the difference in status between you and Natalia. Natalia is the darling of the Reese family, one of the most prestigious families in Riverton. She's like the brightest star in the night sky, out of reach for many. And you, let's be real, you're just a servant of the Hartley family. Servants stay servants; they can never become the master. You should know your place, don't let me catch you bothering Natalia again."
