Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

"Ronald, I was really upset before," Stella confessed, her voice tinged with a mix of relief and vulnerability. Holding onto those feelings for years had been tough. Really tough.

Ronald raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "Oh? What were you upset about before?" Stella's eyes welled up, tears spilling over as she playfully pinched his side. "You're teasing me again."

Before, he had pretended to be oblivious to her feelings, and now he was doing it again.

"You knew all along, didn't you? Tell me, did you always know how I felt?"

He caught her mischievous hand, chuckling softly. "How old were you back then, huh?"

Ronald cupped her face tenderly, brushing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "You've only just grown up, and now you're questioning me about the past?"

She huffed, her protest half-hearted.

Ronald chuckled. "Do you want me to use it?"
