Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 137

When the door was opened, a welcoming little home with a simple design came into view.

There was not a speck of dust visible in Stanley Batton’s home. Everything was arranged according to size and height in an orderly manner.

Xyla Quest could tell that he was a very organized person in life.

Coupled with Stanley’s behavior during their meals, Xyla was sure that he had hints of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In fact, he may even be a neat freak.

Xyla put on a pair of slippers before lifting the edge of her dress slightly and looking around the living room.

“Where’s your kitchen?” She asked.

“Over there…” Stanley pointed at the kitchen as he spoke.

Xyla immediately took out the Chinese medicinal herbs and brought them into the kitchen.

“What do you need? Let me help you…” Stanley followed her into the kitchen.

“Nothing at all. All I need is this pot,” Xyla said as she pointed at a white pot on the kitchen top.

After that, she opened the packs of Chinese medicinal herbs before placing the correct portions into the pot. She carefully described the amount needed for each type of herbs firmly as she did so.

Meanwhile, Stanley listened carefully right next to her.

Once the important part was done, Xyla poured water into the pot until it was full. She then covered it up and began to boil it.

“We’re done here. Once the water starts to boil, continue cooking it for thirty minutes. After that, pour the water out and soak your elbow with it. Do you get it?” Xyla asked with a serious expression on her face.

“Yeah,” Stanley said.

“Well, I’ll take my leave now,” Xyla said.

“I’m hungry,” Stanley said calmly.

“What would you like to eat? I’ll cook for you,” Xyla said.

“Anything works,” he said.

Hearing this, Xyla opened the fridge right next to her. When she saw that the fridge was full of various cooking ingredients, she randomly selected a few.

“Wait outside. I’ll make a few simple dishes for you,” she said.

“Okay,” Stanley said and nodded slightly before turning around and walking out of the kitchen. The instant he did so, a charming smile appeared on his face.

After Xyla cooked the rice, she quickly made a few simple dishes, including stir-fried eggs with green pepper, stir-fried cauliflower, and tomato-and-shrimp tofu soup.
