Chapter 843

[ 598 words ]

Susanna wasn’t stupid.

The moment she realized Yvonne had no idea about her being with Hull, she couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Why was Yvonne suddenly so desperate at the Black Gate, asking for people? It had to have something to do with Hull…

Back when she’d first met Hull, Susanna thought he was just another one of Ronald Quinn’s subordinates.

But after spending time with him, she could tell Hull had his own power, and it was nothing to sneeze at.

She still didn’t understand why he was so loyal to Ronald.

But one thing was clear: if Hull and Ronald ever ended up at odds, it’d be a nightmare for the Quinn family.

As long as Hull was loyal, he was Ronald’s best guy. But if things went south, Hull would be a serious headache.

With all these stakes, it was no wonder Yvonne was freaking out if anything, Susanna thought she must be losing her mind with worry.

Hull suddenly spoke up, “You’ve got time to worry about other people?”

“Yvonne isn’t just anyone,” Susanna muttered.

She still wanted to call Yvonne.

Back when they hung out, Susanna had really liked her. Yvonne was genuinely a good person.

Hull sat down beside her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her right into his lap. Susanna squeaked, “Hey!”

“My juice almost spilled,” she whined.

Seriously, this guy.

Always grabbing her out of nowhere, no warning at all.

Before she could finish complaining, Hull’s mouth was suddenly on hers, kissing her hard. Susanna muffled a protest, “Mmm-“

Seriously, this man.

She wanted to push him away, but she was holding a glass of orange juice, and if she struggled too much, she just knew it’d spill all over both of them.

They were pressed so close together, there was no way it wouldn’t.

So in the end, Susanna could only wriggle a little, awkwardly trying not to make a mess, until she just gave up and let Hull have his way.

After a while-

Just when Susanna was getting breathless, Hull finally let her go, sounding way too pleased with himself: “Not bad. Tastes like oranges. Sweet.”

Susanna’s cheeks were burning.

If it wasn’t for her… situation today, she was sure Hull would’ve already tried to tear her apart.

Hull squeezed her thigh, his warm breath fanning over her neck.

His words were low and teasing: “I’ll take care of you in a couple days.”

“Four days,” Susanna blurted.

Hull paused.”.

Maybe it was because Hull was always so… aggressive about this stuff.

“I—I want to call Yvonne, okay?” Susanna stammered, desperate to change the subject.

Hull gave her a look. “So, are you more worried about Yvonne, or your mom’s safety?”

Susanna hesitated. Was that even a question?

Of course her mom mattered most.

Hull snorted.

Morality?

The word made him laugh, his eyes softening even as he chuckled.

“Morality?” It was like she’d said something out of a fairy tale.

Something almost funny.

Susanna frowned. “We’re using Yvonne.”

She knew the more chaos at Black Gate, the safer her mom probably was.

She didn’t know exactly what her mom was up to, but she clearly needed more time.

And Yvonne’s drama at Black Gate was keeping everyone distracted.

Susanna felt guilty. “Yvonne’s always been really good to me.”
