Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 619

Stella finally let out a sigh of relief—Susanna had managed to get through the day without causing a scene in front of Hull.

But her relief lasted all of three seconds.

Because, out of nowhere, Susanna groaned, “I can’t believe it… I said I’d marry him.”

Stella: “!!!”

Wait. What?

Back up. Did Susanna just say she’d marry Hull? As in, get hitched? Tie the knot? What the actual heck?

Stella’s brain just… froze. Completely blanked out for a good few minutes before she managed to stammer, “You—you said you’d do what now?”

“Who are you marrying?”

She had to be hearing things. There was no way Susanna just blurted out that she wanted to marry Hull. Not unless Stella had somehow fallen into an alternate universe.

But Susanna looked absolutely mortified. “Honestly, I kinda wish the ground would just swallow me up right now.”

How bad was it? Like, full-on social death. She could practically feel her soul leaving her body from secondhand embarrassment.

Susanna was so done, she couldn’t even bring herself to repeat it.

Stella swallowed, took a deep breath or five, trying to steady her nerves. “Wait, hold on. You—what the hell, Susie?!”

Susanna groaned, “I wish I could just get rid of my mouth. Or my hands. Honestly, I don’t want either of them right now.”

Her hands, her mouth—why did they always betray her, especially around Hull? She was mortified.

Stella listened to Susanna’s existential crisis, and then suddenly her eyes lit up. “Wait a second. Are you telling me all those little things you’ve done before—were just leading up to this moment?”

Susanna: “!!!”

“No! I swear, I wasn’t—”

She hurried to deny it, and it was the truth. She seriously hadn’t meant any of this.

Stella narrowed her eyes. “Then why were you always messing with Hull’s belt or tugging at his jacket, huh?” She leaned in, a wicked smile on her face. “Come on, Susie, be honest. That time at Mist Bay, when you were fumbling with Hull’s belt buckle—was that because you had your eye on him from the start?”

Everything suddenly seemed to connect.

It all made sense now. Like some weird, accidental love story that had just fallen into place.

If Susanna *wasn’t* into Hull, then all her actions just seemed… suspicious, to say the least.
