Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 614

What kind of "good temper" was that? She’d practically gone nuclear.

Yeah, Yvonne had totally lost it back then…

Xander had definitely heard all about Yvonne’s legendary antics over in Vegas.

“You know, your little Vegas trip pissed off the entire Wilson family too.”

Yvonne snorted. “So what if it did? Big deal.”

Pissed off the Wilsons, whatever.

Honestly, the Quinns had collected plenty of enemies over the years. What was one more? Or one less? Didn’t matter.

At this point, why not just lean into it—go big or go home?

…

They arrived at City Hall.

When the clerk at the marriage license desk spotted them coming back, her face instantly soured.

She gave them a look that could curdle milk.

They’d made a huge scene here earlier that morning, and everyone was still dealing with the fallout.

Even in this part of the States, drama like that was not exactly uncommon—but the clerk was still pissed.

This time, she didn’t even bother hiding her annoyance at Yvonne’s choice of a husband.

She took their IDs and started hammering at her keyboard—clack, clack, clack. You could practically feel her rage in every keystroke.

She couldn’t take it out on Xander, so the poor keyboard took the brunt of it. In five minutes, it was almost smoking.

Yvonne: “….”

Xander: “….”

For once, they didn’t stir up more trouble or start a scene.

Not even five minutes later, the clerk slapped two marriage certificates in front of them. “There. You’re done.”

Yvonne blinked. “That’s it?”

That was fast.

So all it took for a woman to go from single to married was a few minutes? Then why did so many bachelors seem to struggle for years?

The clerk took a sip of her coffee and nodded. “Yup. But if he ever lays a hand on you, honey, you’ll have a whole bunch of departments to call—not just the cops. So don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
