Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 636

Yvonne hurriedly called for the staff to clear everything away.

The moment Ronald left, Yvonne scooted over to Stella, grinning mischievously. “So? How did it feel?”

Stella blinked, caught off guard. “How did what feel?”

Yvonne waggled her eyebrows. “C’mon, sis-in-law! How did you feel when I called you that, huh?”

Stella’s eyes widened. “Wait, what—?”

Honestly? The whole thing just felt... weird.

Yvonne nudged her. “Well? Spill it! What did it feel like?”

Stella let out a little laugh. “Honestly? It was pretty strange.”

“Right? I thought so too! But Ronald acts like it’s totally normal. I don’t get it,” Yvonne said, rolling her eyes.

Stella just shrugged, not really knowing what to say.

Yvonne declared, “I don’t care. When he’s not around, you’re still my Star, and you still have to call me your big sis. I’m not about to start acting all formal just because of him!”

She shook her head, thinking, Since when was Ronald such a stickler for rules?

Stella nodded obediently. “Okay, whatever you say, sis.”

The tension Yvonne had felt when Ronald was around finally eased a bit.

Seriously, that guy could be so intense sometimes...

Before she could say anything else to Stella, her phone started buzzing. She glanced at the screen—Xander was calling.

Yvonne’s face soured. She hit decline without a second thought.

But right after she hung up, a text from Xander popped up: [I’ll be outside in five. Come out.]

Yvonne practically exploded. Who did he think he was, giving her orders like that?

Stella had spotted the message too. “You two were fighting just now—how’d that end?”

Yvonne rolled her eyes. “With a fistfight.”

Stella stared at her, speechless. Her best friend’s love life sounded like an episode of a drama series.

She looked Yvonne up and down, a little worried. “So... who won?”

“I already told my brother,” Stella replied quickly. “He’ll make sure it happens.”

Stella always took Susanna’s requests seriously—she’d even checked in with Ronald more than once to make sure he was following through.

Susanna sounded a little defeated. “Yeah, I know. He’s already taken care of it.”

Stella was genuinely surprised. “That fast? Did he say when you’ll get to see her?”

“He handed it off to Hull,” Susanna replied.

Stella’s eyes widened. “Wait, he gave it to Hull?”

Hull was Ronald’s right-hand man. If something went to him, it was serious.

“Yeah,” Susanna said, “he trusts Hull with all the important stuff.”

Stella nodded, relieved. “That’s great! If Hull’s handling it, you’ll see your mom in no time, trust me.”

She missed Susanna’s tired tone completely, too excited at how smoothly things were working out.

Susanna just let out a long breath on the other end of the line. “Yeah...”
