Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 7

Yorick marched straight to the sofa and plopped down, itching for a smoke.

No sooner had he fished out a cigarette from the pack than Stella swooped in, snatching it away and tossing it into the trash. Yorick's face darkened, "What the heck?"

When had he ever been treated like this? Back when he was with Ursula, she wouldn't utter a peep, no matter what he did. Stella stated, "I can't stand the smell of smoke."

Yorick was speechless.

This woman!

Fine, he wouldn't smoke.

Yorick bit back his anger, his mind drifting to the morning's trending gossip that nearly crashed his family's phone lines.

"Was it Susanna who spread today's news?"

He couldn't believe she actually wanted to call off their wedding. Was she overreacting?

Stella didn't reply, heading to the fridge instead to grab a slice of cheesecake.

Lunch had been a light affair, followed by a shopping spree with Susanna for two hours.

Seeing Stella ignore him completely drove Yorick up the wall.
