Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 532

Stella gently reassured Susanna. "It's okay, Susie. Everything's going to be fine."

No matter what, if Hull refused to let her take Susanna today, Stella decided not to leave without her.

Upstairs, when Hull learned that Stella had decided to stay put because of Susanna, his expression darkened even further. He narrowed his eyes. "Call Mr. Quinn. Tell him to come and get her himself."

Barnaby raised an eyebrow at the suggestion of having Ronald come over personally.

"If Mr. Quinn shows up, he'll also take your girl away. You know that, right?"

Hull's eyes widened in surprise. The mention of "your girl" made him pause. He shot an icy glare at Barnaby, though it seemed a bit less frosty than before. Confused by Hull's reaction, Barnaby asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

If Ronald came to fetch Stella, he would take Susanna along, too. Everyone knew how much Ronald doted on Stella. If she wanted the moon, he would probably find a way to bring back a piece of it. And she only wanted to take Susanna with her. Wouldn't Ronald agree without a second thought?

Hull asked, "My girl?"

Barnaby stammered, "Uh, well, isn't she?"

They lived under the same roof without help or staff around. How much more could they be alone together? Wasn't she his girl, then?

Barnaby thought he might have misunderstood, but Hull didn't correct him.
