Chapter 336

Xander glanced down at the dog lying on the ground.

"Darn girl," he muttered under his breath. Was she treating him like some kind of fool?

"Yeah, we've been running around quite a bit," Shawn admitted, slightly out of breath.

That girl, Stella, what on earth did Ronald feed her? She actually knew how to play the reverse psychology card and buy herself some time.

Xander turned abruptly. "We have to catch up."

Avery chimed in, "She's still sticking to the back roads."

"So we're really going to chase her on foot?" Shawn complained, clearly exasperated.

Xander ignored him and started moving forward with purpose.

Shawn grumbled to himself, frustrated, "This girl really wants to wear our legs out, huh?"

Xander shot him a glance, his eyes cold as ice.

"Alright, alright, just venting here."

Why was Xander still so protective of Stella when she didn't even seem to care about him at all? Shawn couldn't help but feel a headache coming on as he thought about Xander's feelings for her. After all, it was Ronald he had to contend with for this girl. "Don't you even resent her a bit? We've still got Yorick back in Portis City," Shawn mentioned, trying to reason with Xander.

Apart from Ronald, Stella had been engaged to Yorick for two years.

Xander paused, fists clenched. The air around him seemed to drop several degrees.

"Yorick's a nobody," Xander spat, then continued striding away, leaving Shawn to catch up.
