Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 393

Barely escaping the chaotic scene at the airport, Susanna found herself drenched in cold sweat, her breathing unsteady as she turned to Hull. "Can you let go of me now?" Thinking of how exasperating the man's moves were, she was certain he had been deliberately mischievous back there, practically squeezing her through the chaos. Hull chuckled softly and released her, his grin playful, like he was teasing a kitten.

Susanna sat up beside him, her cheeks puffed with frustration, but she dared not voice her anger. After all, this man had just saved her.

She wasn't one to be ungrateful. "So, now you can tell me, what do you want in return?"

"Your pocket money?"

Susanna was in shock. This Hull was a completely different person from the one at the airport.

Despite his teasing, she knew better than to let her guard down around him. She had seen how dangerous he could be, and surely she knew what kind of lion spoke peril when provoked. Before she could say more, Hull's phone buzzed.

"Speak," he answered tersely. "Got it." He hung up, and the playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious, almost ominous look.

He dialed another number and spoke into the phone, "Have Silas and Barnaby meet us at Coconut Bay. Bring the gear."

"Understood."

Hull hung up and glanced at Susanna, his eyes devoid of the earlier amusement.

Susanna met his gaze, and a chill ran down her spine. That same look at the airport had silenced her.

Sensing the danger exuding from the man, she was sure the next destination wasn't going to be a picnic.
