Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 36

In the kitchen, everything being prepared was her favorite.

Initially, Stella had insisted she wasn't hungry, but as she descended the stairs, the familiar aroma wafted towards her, halting her steps. It was the taste of home.

Adapting to the culinary landscape of Portis City over the past two years had been a challenge for her.

Taking a bite of the comfort food, she found herself unable to stop, polishing off four plates of food and two bowls of soup!

The staff were astonished at her appetite.

The landline rang.

The butler briskly walked over to answer it; it was Ronald on the line inquiring about Stella.

Without thinking, the butler glanced towards the dining area, "Ms. Quinn has woken up and is currently having her meal."

"Appetite? Oh, quite good indeed, she's had four plates already."

Stella was like, "..."

Had she really eaten that much? She had never indulged like this during her three years in Portis City!

The content of the conversation on the other end was unknown. After hanging up, the butler hurried back, "Mr. Quinn says you shouldn't eat any more."

Upon hearing his words, Stella, who had been eyeing another piece of fish, cast a puzzled glance at the butler.

The butler explained, "Mr. Quinn thinks you've eaten too much; you might feel unwell later."

Knowing it was Ronald's concern, Stella promptly set her utensils down.

...

Leaving the Wave Residence, Stella coincidentally ran into Orion inquiring about the owner at the entrance. He paused upon seeing her.

"Ms. Quinn? Why are you here?"

Raising an eyebrow, she retorted, "Why are you here?"

In Orion's mind, she shouldn't be here, but then again, he wasn’t supposed to be here either.

Orion was caught off guard by her question, a hint of mystery flickering in his eyes, “Just for some business.”

Stella remained silent. For some business? There was merely Wave Residence in the entire Mist Bay. It was impossible Yorick had any connection with Ronald.

So, what business could Orion have here?

“What business?”

Orion seemed hesitant.
