Chapter 433 Stella gazed up at Ronald with wide eyes, curiosity and confusion written all over her face.

Ronald chuckled, giving her cheek a playful pinch. "Seriously, Stella, have you spent too much time with Finley?"

Was this something he should be discussing with Hull?

He felt her forehead again, comparing it with his temperature to ensure she was okay.

No fever. It was just some good old-fashioned nonsense.

Stella blinked, realization dawning on her. "Oh my gosh! What on earth was I babbling about? How could I even bring that up?"

"What about Susie?" she asked, worry evident in her voice.

As for Susanna, Ronald pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Don't worry. Hull won't eat her up." There it was again, that phrase.

"But Susie is terrified of him," Stella insisted, recalling Susanna's tearful phone call. She couldn't help but feel concerned.

Hull was known for being as cold as ice. Susanna, who once seemed brave enough, was only bold when times were peaceful and predictable. The recent events had clearly shaken her.

And Stella knew Hull's temperament well enough to understand he wouldn't be offering any comforting words to Susanna.
