Chapter 804

He'd never been a man to want much out of life.

But right now, he just wanted this feeling to last... forever.

"Naughty. So naughty..."

Susanna mumbled in her sleep, her lips pouting in an adorable grumble. Clearly, Hull had worn her out—a fact that amused him to no end. Even in her dreams, she was calling him a scoundrel.

A small, satisfied smile tugged at Hull's lips.

He reached out and playfully pinched Susanna's cheek, his touch gentle and indulgent.

Disturbed, Susanna frowned, then snuggled closer, wrapping herself around Hull's arm, finding a more comfortable spot before drifting back into sleep.

Suddenly, Hull's phone buzzed on the nightstand. The name "Yvonne" flashed on the screen.

Hull glanced at Susanna, still curled up against him, and hesitated. He started to pull his arm free, but stopped, not wanting to wake her.

Instead, he silenced the ringtone and answered in a cold, clipped voice. "What is it?"

On the other end, Yvonne winced at the iciness in his tone. It was the kind of voice that could freeze hell itself.

This didn't sound like a man blissfully basking in the afterglow with Susanna by his side. If she were there, Hull would be in a much better mood-maybe even humming while making pancakes for breakfast. But this? This was the sound of someone ready to snap.

Yvonne shot a desperate look at Chloe, who was frantically mouthing, "Ask him! Ask him!"

Yvonne whispered, "Do I really have to?"


She dreaded the thought. If she pushed too far, Hull might just explode.

Chloe exaggerated her gestures: "You're already on the call-don't back out now!"

Yvonne sighed, rubbing her forehead, her thoughts scrambling. She took a deep breath and blurted out, "Uh, Hull, is Susie with you right now?"

The second the question left her lips, she regretted it. She could almost hear a siren blaring in her mind: Bad idea. Abort mission.

Sure enough, the silence on the other end became heavy, almost suffocating. Yvonne squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the storm.

Hull's voice came back, icier than ever. "Yvonne, you took her away, remember?"
