Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 628

Ronald nodded with a soft, “Yeah,” ruffled her silky hair, and turned to leave the room.

Stella really was starting to feel sleepy.

She turned, crawled into bed, and was just about to drift off when her phone buzzed. It was Susanna. “Did you just grill Hull about something again?”

Stella squinted. “Or did you maybe blurt out something like, ‘Let’s get married right now’?”

Susanna: “!!!”

Uhh…

So now, in Stella’s mind, these two things had become Susanna’s signature moves when it came to Hull—either stripping him down (figuratively or literally), or dropping some bombshell line.

Susanna groaned. “Remember earlier, when I told you I was scared to admit I liked him?”

Stella thought for a second. Yeah, that rang a bell.

Susanna always seemed to be poking or prodding Hull in some way, so it made sense Stella suspected there were feelings there.

“I remember. So what happened?”

Could it be something to do with that? Maybe she’d accidentally upset Hull again? Stella wouldn’t be surprised. Whenever Susanna got into trouble with Hull, it was always in this exact way.

Susanna sighed. “He asked me why I’m scared to like him.”

Stella: “!!!”

Well, that was unexpected.

From what she knew of Hull, that didn’t seem like his style at all.

“And… what did you say?”

There was a lot to unpack here, and Stella couldn’t quite process it all at once.

Susanna: “I didn’t dare answer! Anyway, forget about me screwing up for a second.”

“So what’s up?”

“My mom. Turns out, she really was the boss of Black Gate. Isn’t that super dangerous?”

Susanna was clearly fishing for info, but apart from a few things she’d overheard from Hull, she was totally in the dark.

Stella replied, “I don’t know about dangerous, but honestly, there’s nothing you can do right now.”

Ronald had told her the same thing—he couldn’t help, either.
