Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 381

Finley strolled over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine. Just as he took a sip, Ronald emerged from the lounge.

Finley couldn’t help but cough as Ronald shot him a disapproving glance. “What’s got into you? Seen a ghost or something?”

Finley patted his chest. “You, uh, you were fast.”

Ronald was left speechless.

Nearby, Idris was busy working on his laptop. He overheard Finley’s comment and quietly decided it was time to relocate to another lounge area.

He had figured it out by now - keeping his distance from someone like Finley was a smart move. Get too close, and you might end up in a messy situation.

As Idris moved away, Finley realized he might have spoken too hastily. “I didn’t mean - well, you know…”

He had heard some noises coming from the lounge earlier and had wisely decided to make himself scarce. But he'd barely had time to enjoy his wine before Ronald approached.

“Do we have any more of those ointment around for there?”

Finley was puzzled. “Huh?”

Ronald explained, “It’s a bit severe.”

The poor girl had been quite distressed during the examination, and he hadn’t anticipated causing such a fuss.

Finley’s eyes widened in realization. So that was what Ronald and Stella were up to in the lounge; he was checking on Stella’s injury.

What the...

Finley almost blurted out something else but caught Ronald’s warning glare and swallowed his words. He turned to the first-aid kit, found a couple more meds, and handed them to Ronald. “Use these with what I gave you before.”

Ronald took the meds and was about to leave when Finley couldn’t help himself. “I get you’re in a hurry, but…”

Ronald turned back with a frosty look, cutting him off.

Finley got the message and quickly shut his mouth. “What I’m trying to say is, take it easy on her. Girls are delicate. At least wait until she fully recovers.”
