Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 645

Lounge Area.

The buffet was getting crowded, and Yvonne couldn’t help but worry about Stella. After all, this wasn’t the time for any accidents.

She guided Stella over to a quieter spot filled with plush couches and said, “Hang tight here, I’ll grab you a plate.”

Stella just blinked at her, a little speechless.

At home, Yvonne was always the one telling her what she could and couldn’t eat.

But before Stella could protest, Yvonne was already weaving back through the crowd. Stella sat down, pulling her cardigan tighter around her.

The room was a comfortable temperature, but ever since the pregnancy, she always seemed to feel cold.

She still had Ronald’s scarf looped around her neck—he’d insisted on giving it to her earlier.

A server approached with a glass of water. Stella took it, smiling politely. “Thank you.”

“Would you like anything to eat, ma’am? Snack table’s just over there,” he offered, gesturing.

“No, thanks,” Stella replied. “My sister’s getting something for me.”

He nodded and disappeared, leaving her alone.

Stella glanced at the water but set it down untouched. Then she pulled out her phone. Susanna had texted:

[Star, remember how I said I’d propose to Hull and he never said yes? So why am I suddenly getting all the perks? Is it just that he wants me for my body? Like, no strings attached?]

Stella nearly snorted out loud.

Okay… that was one way to look at it. Her mind, already a little foggy, felt even more scrambled.

She honestly had no idea what was actually going on between Hull and Susanna. The whole living-together situation? Still a mystery.

Especially when Susanna started in with the “he just wants my body” line—Stella couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

She shot back:

[I don’t think Hull is just after your body.]

Susanna replied almost instantly:

[Why not?]

Stella hesitated.

[Don’t ask me, I really don’t know.]

Being blunt would offend her, but sugar-coating it just felt awkward. Best to say nothing.
