Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 34

Cloudia felt like she was on the verge of exploding. Had it not been for Ursula's current dire state, she would've given Stella a piece of her mind.

Right now, she didn't want to waste her breath arguing over the phone. Taking a few deep breaths, she bit back her anger, "Where are you? I'm coming to you."

"Why do you come to me?"

"We need to have a serious talk!"

Ursula was deteriorating, and Cloudia wanted to resolve whatever issue Stella had face-to-face. Whatever Stella wanted, she was ready to give, just to have Tegan James back as soon as possible. But here she was, ready to make concessions, and Stella couldn't care less.

"I have nothing to talk about with you. Also, everything that needed to be said has been said clearly.

Mrs. Larkin, I can't deal with the Larkin family drama, and frankly, I don't need you as a mother. It's better if we just act like we don't know each other."

With that, Stella coldly ended the call.

Her phone was already a challenge to reach, and now she had directly hung up, leaving Cloudia trembling with rage.

Especially that line about not needing her as a mother, it made Cloudia's heart stuffed with frustration.

Jaxon stepped out of the hospital room, only to find Cloudia looking utterly heartbroken. Without asking, he knew Stella must've upset her again. Seeing Jaxon, Cloudia lamented, "Why is she like that? Couldn't whatever grievances she has wait until Ursula gets better? Why now?"

No matter what she said, Stella wouldn't have any of it.
