Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 144

"Did Ms. Quinn spill the beans on who's behind Wave Residence?!"

Lately, Yorick'd been hounding Stella about it, showing up every day, but Stella'd been MIA. Now, the word on the street was Yorick'd been working on getting Ursula moved into Wave Residence for some recuperation.

The Larkin family was already packing Ursula's bags.

Yorick remained silent. Orion's question made his expression darkened once more.

Seeing Yorick clammed up, Orion got his answer - nothing squeezed out of Stella.

Stella's lips were sealed tighter than Fort Knox.

...

Yorick had been trying to figure out why Stella agreed to their engagement in the first place. Though it was the Larkin family's decision, Stella's fiery spirit didn't seem the type to just roll over.

And now, off to the hospital, he still couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Seeing Yorick, Ursula greeted him with a gentle smile, "Rick, you finally made it."

Yorick nodded.

Cloudia couldn't help but beam at Yorick, over the moon about him buying Wave Residence for Ursula.

Let the Quarry clan kick up a fuss; Yorick's heart was what mattered most!

"Y'all chat."

With that, she turned and left the room, shutting the door behind her.

Ursula tenderly tugged on Yorick's sleeve. Noticing his troubled look, she asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Her tone was gentle. Yorick could see Ursula's spirits had lifted ever since they talked about moving into Wave Residence, seemingly improving her health too.

The thought of telling her Wave Residence might be off the table now, Yorick couldn't bear it.

"Nothing much, been eating well?"

Yorick affectionately tousled Ursula's soft hair.

She seemed perkier, but Yorick could still hear the frailty in her voice due to her health conditions. Thinking of Stella's vibrant energy made him wonder, why couldn't Ursula catch a break health-wise?

"Rick, Rick?"

"Hmm?"

Yorick snapped back to reality, his gaze at Ursula filled with even more tenderness.
