Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 47

As Ronald frowned, ready to say something more, Stella's stomach let out an unmistakable growl.

The next moment, Ronald's expression darkened even further.

"Haven't eaten enough?"

"See? Even she says it's not on me," Finley defended.

"Call Jeremy back later. Tell him..."
