Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 125

This was the honest truth.

To her, Yorick's proposal today felt like a moment of sheer insanity. Of course, she figured this lapse wouldn't last long. The minute he faced Ursula, he'd snap right back to reality.

Ronald's gaze remained intense, "And what about you, Star?"

"What about me?"

Her head was on straight! She could differentiate between sense and nonsense.

Ronald probed, "Star, are you happy?"

"Happy about what?"

"About him proposing."

Stella snorted, "What's there to be happy about?"

Ronald pointed out, "You're engaged to him."

Stella went silent.

Engaged, engaged, couldn’t they drop it already?

"Our engagement is all about the Schultz family drama."

The story behind their engagement was a complex web of reasons, none of which were as simple as the rumors suggested - that she harbored feelings for Yorick.

Mentioning the Schultz family made the air between them subtle.

Stella guiltily looked down, fully aware of Ronald's disdain for secrets.

The past incidents involving the Schultz family, even though she was the victim, meant she wasn't off the hook in Ronald's eyes.

Predictably, a playful but firm knock on her forehead from Ronald had her wincing.

"Ow!" Stella cried for the pain.

Ronald asked, "Will you dare do it again?"

"No, definitely not!"

Promises of 'again' aside, she knew better than to cross Ronald.

At the sight of her submit, Ronald's intense gaze softened slightly. He stood, lifting her, "Let's go grab some food."

Stella was taken aback by his strength. He carried her in such effortless manner. Was it because he was too strong or she too light?

"Put me down; I can walk."
