Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 582

When it came to Yvonne, Lottie had her reservations. She couldn't help but think her daughter was the type who got excited about something for all of three minutes before moving on. Could she really pull off something impressive?

Lottie didn't want any regrets at her daughter's star-studded wedding.

"Alright then," she conceded, though her tone suggested she wasn't entirely convinced.

With her mom's final word, Stella stayed silent. She felt a wave of gratitude when she remembered the little task she'd asked the butler to handle earlier. Lottie was clearly making sure Stella wouldn't face any criticism.

She wanted to make it clear to all of Ferrowland that Stella was raised as her daughter-in-law, not merely as a daughter. That way, her relationship with Ronald would be perfectly natural and unquestioned.

Ronald, however, wasn't ready to leave. "I'll stay and help her with the fittings."

Lottie shook her head. "No need. The Doyne family has been causing a stir lately. You should handle that."

"I've already sent someone to deal with it," he replied, clearly not wanting to leave.

Lottie gave him a skeptical look, her lips pursed.

Stella thought about how busy Ronald must be since returning to Ferrowland. She suggested, "I'll take photos of each outfit, and you can choose your favorite when you get back. How does that sound?"

Lottie huffed. "Typical."

Ronald pulled Stella closer with a fond smile. "Alright."

Stella nodded. "You should go take care of your work."

During dinner, his phone had buzzed incessantly. It wasn't that he didn't need to leave; he just didn't want to.

Lottie, seeing her son so hopelessly affectionate, decided she'd had enough and quickly slipped away.

The household staff, noticing Lottie's departure, wisely followed suit.

...

Once it was just Stella and Ronald, Stella instinctively tried to pull away from his embrace.
