The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 928

It seemed I guessed wrong. They were still together.

I didn't have a great impression of Jada. She and Sabrina had grown up together, and Jada had always bullied me, throwing endless sarcastic remarks my way. Even the last time I saw her at the care center, she had spoken to me with incredible rudeness.

But at the end of the day, she was Sabrina's partner. I couldn't interfere, so I simply lowered my eyes, pretending I saw nothing, and went back to eating.

Sabrina looked flustered and awkward as she scrambled to grab her phone, trying to step away to answer it. But somehow, her finger slipped, and she accidentally hit the speakerphone button. Jada's voice immediately echoed through the small dining room. "Mimi, I didn't put sugar in that Sweet Barley Broth, so remember to add some..."

Sweet Barley Broth?

My fork paused mid-air as I glanced at the pot of Sweet Barley Broth to my right.

The Sweet Barley Broth Jada was talking about—was it this pot right here?

She said she forgot to put sugar in it...

Hadn't Sabrina claimed she made this soup herself?

In a flash, everything clicked. Sabrina hadn't cooked a single thing on this table.

I looked up at Sabrina. She was in an absolute panic, fumbling frantically to turn off the speaker, but ended up just hanging up the call entirely.

She turned to me, her face burning red with anxiety and guilt. "Selena, listen to me. I really wanted to cook for you myself, but my food is just too awful. I had no choice but to ask her for help.

"At first, I just asked her to guide me over video call, but I'm completely useless in the kitchen. She couldn't stand watching me fail, so she came over. As soon as she finished cooking, she left.
