Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 201

Stella had slept peacefully through it all. No matter the turmoil the Quarry and Larkin families had found themselves in, she remained untouched by the mayhem.

She was up at the crack of dawn, planning to head to her studio. But instead, Ronald took her to the hospital.

Stella was puzzled. “Why does Old Mrs. Zeller want to see me?”

Old Mrs. Zeller, the elderly lady who had previously helped Ronald at the hospital had called him last night, expressing a desire to meet Stella.

And so, bright and early, Ronald had brought Stella over.

Ronald said, “Probably because she’s taken a liking to you.”

“Huh? But we’ve only met twice. Does she have a grandson or something?”

It’s often the case that when elderly women take a special interest in a young woman, matchmaking is usually their intention.

Ronald chuckled.

Affectionately pinching Stella’s cheek, he said, “If that was the reason, do you think I’d bring you here?”

Stella was left speechless.

Well, no, of course not.

She remembered back in Ferrowland, when she was just fifteen or sixteen, how the noble families had nearly broken down the Quinn family’s door, all in hopes of securing a marriage alliance with her.

The Quinn family heir and their biological daughter were out of reach, so many had set their sights on Stella. Unfortunately, all were turned away by Ronald on the grounds that she was still too young!

Back then, she had indeed been young, but what about now?

Thinking this, Stella couldn’t help but give Ronald a few extra glances.

The car came to a stop.

Ronald said, “Let Idris accompany you.”

“Oh.”

Knowing Idris was there for additional plans besides driving, Stella hadn’t expected it was to accompany her to see Old Mrs. Zeller.

Idris got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Stella.

She glanced at Ronald. “Then off I go.”

“Wait.”

Just as Stella was about to step out of the car, Ronald suddenly called out to her, his voice tinged with a restrained desire.
