Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 28

Ronald raised an eyebrow. But Stella threw her arms around his neck, sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath, as if the world had wronged her deeply. Her instinctual action shattered the anger in Ronald's eyes. His hands, hanging in mid-air, finally wrapped around her slender waist as Stella cried hysterically. Stella clung to Ronald's neck tighter, "Is Mom okay?"

Ronald held her, "You still remember she's your mom?"

He had thought that after she went back to the Larkins, she had completely forgotten everything about Ferrowland!

Stella hugged him even tighter, her sobs growing more pitiful.

Two hours later.

Stella had recounted the reasons for leaving Ferrowland three years ago, through intermittent sobs and tears.

In her three years in Portis City, she hadn't cried once. Not even when the Larkins treated her poorly, but mentioning everything about Ferrowland made her break down.

The Quinns had always been her rock, and Ronald, her emotional support. Losing everything overnight was like being in purgatory, something she dared not revisit over the past three years.

As people said, her departure came when the Quinn family faced its toughest storms. If possible, she wished to have stayed by Ronald's side.
