Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1091

Susanna Tucker’s sleepy eyes snapped open at Hull’s words, and she instantly felt wide awake.

She sat up instinctively. “Where did you say my mom is?”

“Blacktower.”

“She’s back already?” Susanna was shocked. She thought her mother wasn’t supposed to return for another three days. It was too soon.

Hull asked, “Do you want to go?”

“Hold on, let me give her a call.”

Susanna turned, grabbed her phone from the nightstand, and dialed Lacey immediately.

She had no fond feelings for Blacktower. If she could avoid going, she absolutely would, especially when she remembered how unhinged Derek could be. The man had clearly been driven mad by recent events; he was now desperate to bring any child confirmed by a paternity test back to Blacktower. It wasn’t the love of a father for his children; it was something else entirely.

The call connected quickly.

“What is it?” Lacey’s irritated voice came through the phone.

Susanna flinched, glancing subconsciously at Hull before turning away and cupping the phone. “Mom, are you at Blacktower?”

“Children shouldn’t ask so many questions,” Lacey retorted.

Susanna was speechless. She wasn’t a child anymore! But then again, in her mother’s eyes, she probably always would be. Lacey had been absent for so much of her life that she had little concept of her having grown up.

“Well, should I come over?”

“What would you come here for? You’re not exactly big enough to provide backup, are you?”
