Chapter 187

Ronald's lips curled into an indulgent smile.

Nearby, Finley joked, "Wow, someone's getting protective of their brother? All that upbringing's paying off."

Stella rolled her eyes. "Focus on your food, will you?"

Finley pouted.

Stella was adamant about Ronald not drinking any alcohol today, and ironically, she wasn't great at holding her liquor either. After two glasses, she started to feel tipsy.

With a warm tone, he asked, "Feeling sick?"

Stella nodded. "Yeah, I wanna go home."
