Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 794

And honestly, she never thought much of her own figure.

Mostly, it was because she’d been influenced by Star before. Back then, Stella couldn’t care less about Yorick.

Her whole vibe was all about: career first, live however makes you happy, do your own thing.

Now, out of nowhere, someone’s actually handing her a plate of fried chicken to help her “fill out,” and Susanna’s composure is starting to crack.

Susanna pouted, feeling a little sorry for herself.

But Hull just looked completely unfazed. “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want to.”

Susanna hesitated. “Well, I guess I’ll eat it.”

After all, fried chicken isn’t going to hurt her, right? Worst case, she gets some extra protein. Best case, maybe it really will help her curves.

So Susanna, still pouting, sat there under Hull’s watchful gaze and polished off one piece, then another, then another.

By the time she reached for her fourth drumstick, Hull raised an eyebrow. “You sure you’re still hungry?”

Susanna grinned. “Of course I am.”

She’d been practically starving lately. Used to have the appetite of a kitten, but now? She could put away a steak dinner, no problem.

Suddenly, she understood why Stella could eat so much. You need the energy if you’ve got a lot going on.

Later that afternoon, Susanna asked Hull when she’d get back to training—she wanted to squeeze in a nap first.

Hull just shrugged. “If you’re tired, skip it.”

“Wait, really?” Susanna blinked. “You mean it?”

Hull rolled his eyes. “You think the mess at Black Gate is worth running yourself into the ground?”

“Mess?” Susanna repeated, incredulous.

Dude, Black Gate was practically a war zone these days, everybody fighting for control, power struggles everywhere.

Yet Hull was calling it a “mess,” like it was nothing?

So what actually counted as a big deal to him?

“So, you want your mom to finish him off?”

Susanna nodded firmly. “Absolutely.”

Not a hint of hesitation—no inner conflict about her mom possibly killing her dad.

She was Team Mom, all the way.

After Hull explained the Black Gate situation, Susanna wasn’t too worried about her mom anymore.

Especially since he’d mentioned Yvonne and Xander were also heading to Black Gate to confront Dan.

He hadn’t said why, but if Yvonne and Xander were busy with Dan, then her mom could focus on taking down Derek.

Susanna still wanted to go to Black Gate herself, but Hull pointed out she’d only make things messier. Derek might even use her to manipulate her mom’s feelings.

So, after thinking it over, she decided not to go and make things worse.

Hull handed her his phone, and she immediately called Stella.
