I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 591 " Hey , keep it down ! Don't let Mrs. Burton hear you ! " Lydia nudged Taryn , then muttered under her breath , ' Although ... I have to admit , it is satisfying . " Kate didn't go back to the bedroom , nor did she seek out Sawyer . She wasn't sure what mood he was in or how he would react , so she decided to wait for the chicken soup to be ready , then find a reason to approach him . With that thought in mind , she kept a sharp eye on the kitchen . After an hour and 15 minutes , she was getting restless . If she waited any longer , Sawyer would probably already be asleep .

She watched the study . He still hadn't come out . Kate finally went to the kitchen . Frowning , she asked , " It's still not done ? Why are you taking so long ? " Originally , Keaton had suggested to Sawyer that they build a small coop in a corner of the garden to raise chickens and ducks for healthy meat and a balanced diet . It wouldn't be anywhere near Kate's room . Sawyer had agreed . But when Kate noticed it while lounging at home , she immediately had it torn down . She complained about the smell and said that no one would raise chickens and ducks in an ocean - view villa .

Moreover , she was worried that Rhea , who lived next door , might happen to see that . She thought that it would make her seem poor and pathetic . Because of that , when she asked for chicken soup , Lydia and Taryn had to go out and buy a fresh whole chicken , which took at least half an hour . With only 30 minutes left , it would take a miracle for the soup to be prepared in time . " It still needs a bit more time , " Taryn said . Kate pressed her lips together and turned away . 20 minutes later , she was pacing noticeably faster . " Still not done ? " Taryn was at a loss for words .

Holding back her frustration , she pointed at the pot . " If you think it's ready , you can take it with you . " Kate immediately snapped . " Is that how you talk to your employer ? Keaton , when you hire staff , don't you check for basic professionalism ? How can you just let anyone work here ? " It was the middle of the night . Keaton could only approach her . " Mrs. Burton , I- " Kate glared at Taryn , " You have 15 minutes , max . Finish preparing the soup , pack your things , and leave . " Taryn's expression hardened . " Mrs. Burton , if you think I'm slow , you could guide me yourself .

I can't magically make the soup cook any faster . " 1/2 " Can't you use a pressure cooker ? " Kate snapped . A faint smile flickered across Taryn's eyes . " Mrs. Burton , good chicken soup requires slow cooking to bring out the flavor . I was hired for kitchen work . If I used a pressure cooker , the chicken would fall apart . What would you eat then? If you want chicken soup , just give the word . It'll be on your table first thing tomorrow morning . " She then removed her hygienic mask and apron . " And if you think you can win Mr.

Burton with this soup you forced us to make , don't be surprised when you're the one who gets chewed out . " " You ! " Kate's anger boiled over . " What did you just say ? " " Hey , enough ! " Lydia pulled Taryn back . Taryn looked Kate in the eye . " Honestly , your manners are the worst I've ever seen in a lady of any wealthy household . I don't know where your parents spent all that money raising you . Want chicken soup in 15 minutes ? Go make it yourself ! I'm done !
