Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 143

Ronald's sudden question sent a shiver down Stella's spine, prompting an instinctive response from her lips, "Yes."

The moment she spoke, she felt her body temperature rise, her cheeks burning hot.

The man on the phone chuckled low, "Good girl."

"Then, may I have hot wings night?"

"Hmm?"

Ungrateful girl, linking him with wanting hot wings?

Stella carefully added, "It's been a while since I've had one."

Ever since she moved to Portis City, hot wings had become her favorite. Initially, it was the fiery, spicy sensation that briefly numbed her longing and pain for everything back in Ferrowland. Over time, she grew to genuinely enjoy it.

Back in Ferrowland, Ronald always kept spicy foods away from her, fearing they'd upset her stomach.

Having never really indulged before, she didn't miss it, but once she acquired the taste, she was hooked.

The man on the phone, hearing her pitiful tone, relented, "Alright, but you're not going out for it. I'll have the chef prepare it."

This was a significant concession from Ronald, given his high standards for food quality. Stella had been under his care and been hospitalized twice as a child due to food-related issues, so Ronald was particularly strict about her diet. As Stella heard Ronald's agreement, her voice lightened instantly, "You're the best, Ronald."

"What about the Larkin family? How do you plan to deal with them, Star?"
