Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 425

When Ronald finally arrived, he stepped into a peculiar scene.

Uriah had already whisked away Tegan, and Sirena had vanished long before anyone could notice. Vivian had wrapped up a phone call and made a swift exit, too.

So, when Ronald reached the scene, only Stella was alone there. She sat on a rainbow-colored bench in the mall corridor, sipping on a milkshake.

Ronald walked straight over and plopped down beside her.

Off to the side, Finley noticed Stella sitting by herself and instinctively wanted to approach her, wanting to ask what was up. But Idris grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks.

"What gives?" Finley asked, puzzled.

That little princess had everyone running around, and then she was all alone? And she didn't even look like she'd been in a fight, so what was all the fuss about?

Idris pointed out, "Can't you see her eyes are red? What are you gonna ask her?"

Finley squinted, taking a closer look, and sure enough, Stella's eyes were a bit puffy from crying. He had assumed she was faking it, but no, she had actually shed some tears.

"Maybe you should call your blind date and see what's up?" Idris suggested.

The whole mess was far from over. Even though Ronald hadn't said much in the car, Idris felt sure that there was no sweeping this under the rug.

Finley looked at Idris, bewildered. "I don't even remember her number."

"Didn't you go on a date with her?"

Finley shrugged. "Yeah, but it didn't click. Why remember a number if it didn't work out?"

Now everyone seemed to think he was in the wrong. What a situation to be in!

Ronald gently tousled Stella's soft hair. "Did it get out of hand?"

His voice was gentle, full of warmth.

Stella looked at him with her reddened eyes, staying silent.

Ronald sighed, "You."

Ronald pulled her into a comforting embrace, and Stella froze. "We're in a mall."
