Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 490

But Stella could sense Susanna had developed a strong aversion to the words "nothing unexpected." Because, as life had taught her, something unexpected was bound to happen whenever someone said that.

Stella hoped this trip back to Ferrowland would be uneventful. Otherwise, Susanna’s heart couldn't handle any more surprises.

"Ugh, I'm waiting for you, so please, no surprises," Susanna sniffled.

Stella replied, "Sure, no surprises."

She couldn't promise that. She would get dragged into it if Ronald ended up in a pickle. But she couldn't say this to Susanna, given her current state. She even considered heading back alone if Ronald got into trouble again.

Hearing Stella assure her, Susanna felt a bit better. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you. Be back early tomorrow."

Susanna was stunned into silence. Even her sniffling stopped.

On the other end, Stella took a sharp breath. "It couldn't be true, could it?"

It's just a fever remedy, right? Hull might be clueless, but Susanna should know better, shouldn't she?
