Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 2

Yorick's face turned drastically. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from Stella. Her stance took him by surprise.

Call off the wedding? Had she...lost her mind?

Yorick's voice wavered with emotion, "She's sick, once she recovers, she'll leave again, and then I'll give you the grander wedding you deserve."

"Is it sickness, or is she pregnant?"

The moment those words were uttered, the air around them seemed to still.

Yorick stared at her, his eyes cold, "What have you found out?"

Stella didn't respond directly; instead, she said, "You and her, showing up unashamed at the hospital, at the gynaecology and obstetrics of all places. Talking about giving me a grander wedding, don't you find it ironic?"

Their wedding was just a week away. He and Ursula were seen at a gynaecology and obstetrics, and another second he was here to talk about the scale of their wedding?

Did he really think she wouldn't have the guts to leave him if he was playing both sides?

As Yorick heard her words, his expression grew even more grim, "She's not pregnant, she's ill."

"Ill enough to need you accompanying her to the hospital? What exactly is your relationship with her now?"

Her sharp counter-question made Yorick's face darken further.

Stella didn't want to see his face anymore, standing up to walk towards the office door.

As she walked, she said, "Since she's back, she might as well stay. After all, she won't be able to repay her debts to Portis City overnight."
