Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 721

After making sure everything was settled, Silas shot Barnaby a series of

meaningful glances-like he was spelling out a whole instruction manual with his

eyes-then headed off to the study to grab something before leaving.

Susanna quietly picked at her scrambled eggs, totally ignoring him.

Barnaby sat across from her, watching her with the intensity of a hawk. He didn't

Susanna finally snapped. "Do you have to stare at me like that?"

Barnaby didn't hesitate. "Yep."

Susanna rolled her eyes. This guy was impossible.

Barnaby added, "After what happened last night, the boss said I'm supposed to

Susanna raised an eyebrow. "At all times? Like, what does that even mean?"

Barnaby replied, "Means I gotta be with you everywhere. No exceptions."

Susanna stared at him. "Everywhere? Seriously?"

Barnaby nodded solemnly.

Susanna tried to process that. "Even when I'm sleeping?"
