Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 596

The butler tried to reassure her, "You know, the old man’s just worried about you. He cares, that’s all."

Everyone had been looking for her all these years. The longer they couldn't find her, the more anxious they became.

Old Mrs. Lugar, Lydia, chimed in, "Alright, alright, she’s back now. Let's not scare her off again."

“Hmph,” grumbled Levi.

Lydia was concerned that if he kept talking, he might scare Stella. In her mind, Stella was quite timid. If she got frightened again...

Levi sternly asked, "Whose baby is she carrying?"

"I’m telling you, if she’s come back with someone else’s child, she can forget about dinner."

Talking about pregnancies just seemed to fuel his irritation.

Lydia quickly added, "Lottie said it’s Ronald’s."

Levi’s demeanor instantly softened, "Oh, well, that’s alright then."

Stella remained silent.

Once he heard it was Ronald’s, Levi’s anger subsided, his expression relaxed.

"That’s better. Seems like the girl hasn't gone completely off the rails."

Lydia remained silent, rolling her eyes at her husband’s change of heart.

Stella peeked her little head out from the hallway, her eyes searching for Lydia.

That morning, Ronald had styled her hair into a neat little bun. With her head peeking out like that, she looked utterly adorable.

Facing the door, Lydia was the first to notice Stella. She paused, then smiled warmly, “Star?”

Levi turned around at the sound of her voice.

Though he had been quite angry, seeing Stella’s small head with her bangs held up by a pink barrette melted his heart.

Stella sweetly called out, "Nana, Grandpa."

Her soft, sweet voice was enough to melt anyone's heart.
