Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 662

You could say she was being told, loud and clear, to go back and stir up more trouble—while, under the surface, he was clearly scheming something. Lord only knew what was going on in that head of his.

Hearing the threat in her voice, Xander shot her another sideways glance. “Go ahead, yell all you want. Why not just call me straight up, huh?”

Seriously, what is this? Anyone gets to be called ‘Dad’ these days?

Yvonne smirked. “If I called you, would you even answer?”

Xander just stared at her. God, this woman’s mouth.

“Tell me, did you call that woman ‘Mom’ too?”

At the mention of her, Xander’s tone turned even colder, if that was possible.

Yvonne shrugged. “Not a chance.”

Not just anyone gets to be my mom—especially not someone like Mona.

Hearing that Yvonne hadn’t gone that far, Xander actually felt a wave of relief. If she ever did call Mona ‘Mom’, he swore he’d strangle her on the spot.

“So… where are we headed, anyway?”

Yvonne glanced out the window, realizing this wasn’t the way back to the Quinn estate.

“It’s late. We’re going straight to my townhouse,” Xander replied. There was one nearby, always kept ready by his housekeeper. They could head there anytime.

Yvonne stifled a yawn. Honestly, she was exhausted. All-nighters weren’t exactly new to her, but after wrangling with those people all night, she was wiped.

She was just about to close her eyes when her phone started buzzing on the seat next to her. At the same time, Xander’s phone started ringing too.

They both picked up their calls.

Whoever was on the other end, they both finished with the exact same words: “On my way.”

They hung up, caught each other’s eyes.

Again, in near-unison: “I’m heading to The Night Owl. You get some sleep.” “Drop me at The Empty Barrel first.”

Yvonne: “…”

Xander: “…”

The Night Owl and The Empty Barrel—two bars right next to each other.

Yvonne was the first to break the silence. “Got a date?”
