Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 405

At Mist Bay.

Ronald said he'd be back in two hours, and true to his word, he was.

Stella was fighting off sleep, but the thought of Susanna and her current situation kept her awake. So when Ronald returned, she was still waiting.

As he shrugged off his coat, he stepped forward. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you," Stella mumbled.

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"

He could tell just by looking at her that something was on her mind. Normally, she loved her sleep too much to stay up this late without a reason.

"It's about Susie," Stella said. "Ronald, Susie is really scared of Hull. You might need to send someone over to get her."

"Did she tell you that she's scared?" Ronald asked.

Stella nodded. "Yeah, she did."

Since Susanna had reached out, Stella felt it was her responsibility to help. After all, Susanna was one of the few genuine friends she had. When the whole Larkin family drama went down, Susanna was right there with her, leading the charge.

Ronald answered, "I'll give Hull a call."

With that, he pulled out his phone.

Why send someone else when he could just have Hull bring Susanna over to Stella's place? Besides, Hull was a lone wolf kind of guy. He probably wouldn't like having someone like Susanna around all the time. The phone rang only a few times before Hull answered. "Ronald."

"How's Susanna doing?"

"She's fine."
