Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 30

After being grilled for a couple of hours, Stella was completely spent. Drained of all energy, she couldn't resist the weight of her exhaustion any longer and collapsed onto Ronald's lap, slipping into a deep sleep. Under the harsh glare of the lights, Ronald tenderly brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek to behind her ear. With a gentle scoop, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom.

By the time he emerged back into the living room, Idris had already been at the living room. Taking in the modest size of the place, he asked Ronald, "Should we take Ms. Quinn back to Wave Residence?"

Wave Residence was located at the Mist Bay of Portis City. The land, which they had bought years back, was the sought-after place many elite families had vied for. But it had effortlessly fallen into Ronald's hands the moment Stella expressed her fondness for the place. The place was intended to be developed into luxurious seaside villas by those affluence developers. Ronald, however, had transformed it into Stella's dream home.

Initially, he meant taking it as a present for her coming-of-age celebration. However, the Quinn family faced a crisis, and Stella disappeared.

Ronald, cigarette in hand, stepped out onto the balcony, taking a couple of puffs.

"Let's not disturb her tonight. Just spend the night here, bring up my luggage."

Hearing Ronald decided to stay overnight in this place, Idris took another unwitting glance at the cramped space.

"Stay here?"

Ronald swept him a cold glance, "Any problem?"

Idris shook his head, "I'll get it right away."

He was surprised that with Stella there, Ronald was able to adapt to any circumstance. Sleeping in this small apartment was merely because he didn't want Stella getting disturbed.
