Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 329

Xander had been trying to shake off Ronald's pursuit all day. By the time he finally made it back to Southvale, Patrina, he was practically running on fumes. As soon as he stepped inside, he tossed his jacket toward Stella.

"Put this on," he said gruffly.

She had been wearing her pajamas when they left, and after all the chaos, her clothes were a mess.

Stella shot him a fierce glare, and Xander huffed. "Who are you giving attitude to? Let me tell you, I'm not Ronald. I'm not going to pamper you. Put it on, now."

Before he could blink, Stella threw the jacket back at him, hitting him square in the face. Enveloped in darkness for a brief moment, Xander yanked the jacket off, his irritation boiling over. "Seriously, with that attitude, I can't believe you managed to survive in Portis City without getting scammed," he muttered. "Most people would know when to lie low."

Stella snapped back, "Why do you care if I got scammed or not? Just give me my phone."

The entire journey, she'd been itching to call Ronald, but she didn't have her phone.

Xander's expression turned grim. "You're asking me for a phone?"

"Who else am I supposed to ask?" Stella retorted, clearly annoyed.

Xander asked, "Did you even bring a phone?"
