Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 201

Stella had slept peacefully through it all. No matter the turmoil the Quarry and Larkin families had found themselves in, she remained untouched by the mayhem. She was up at the crack of dawn, planning to head to her studio. But instead, Ronald took her to the hospital.

Stella was puzzled. "Why does Old Mrs. Zeller want to see me?"

Old Mrs. Zeller, the elderly lady who had previously helped Ronald at the hospital had called him last night, expressing a desire to meet Stella.

And so, bright and early, Ronald had brought Stella over.

Ronald said, "Probably because she's taken a liking to you."

"Huh? But we've only met twice. Does she have a grandson or something?"

It's often the case that when elderly women take a special interest in a young woman, matchmaking is usually their intention.

Ronald chuckled.

Affectionately pinching Stella's cheek, he said, "If that was the reason, do you think I'd bring you here?"

Stella was left speechless.
