Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 291

Stella really couldn't care less about Jaxon. But here they were in Portis City, and she was worried Ronald might get into unnecessary trouble because of it. Feeling restless, she got up and headed out to the security gate.

As soon as she stepped onto the snowy ground, Ronald returned with Idris in tow.

The man stood there in his trench coat, exuding an air of nobility and sternness that matched perfectly with the winter chill.

Seeing Stella in her fluffy slippers, Ronald frowned. "In such a hurry?"

Stella crunched forward in the snow, each step making a satisfying sound. Tugging at his coat, she asked, "Did you really rough him up?"

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "You worried, Star?"

"No, I just don't want you getting into trouble."

This place was nothing like Ferrowland, not by a long shot.

Her voice carried concern, but it wasn't for Jaxon. His fate didn't bother her in the least. What worried her were the repercussions Ronald might face.

Hearing her words, Ronald's stern expression softened. Without warning, he scooped her up and strode back inside with purpose.

"Next time you come out without bundling up, see what happens."

Stella protested. "And what about..."
