Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 164

Cloudia sighed, "It's time for a change."

She knew Yorick had been dedicating all his time and energy to sorting things out on that front.

"Don't worry. Yorick's heart belongs to you. And you should try not to dwell on negative thoughts too much. It's not good for your health."

Hearing this, Ursula felt slightly better.

"What happened to your face?"
