Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 355

As Ronald and Stella stepped off the plane, a welcoming committee was already in place.

Idris approached them, respectfully opening the car door for Ronald. Stella climbed in first, followed by Ronald, who settled beside her. Finley took the front seat.

As the car roared to life, Finley turned to Ronald and asked, "Should we head to the hotel first?"

Ronald glanced down. "Let's go straight there."

"Huh?" Finley blinked in surprise. He shot a quick glance at Stella sitting beside Ronald, wondering if she was really going along with them. Ronald had always shielded Stella from those kinds of scenes before. What had changed now?

Stella, puzzled, asked, "Where are we going?"

Ronald met her eyes, and the memory of the time he had scared her so badly she fell seriously ill flashed through his mind.

In that instant, he hesitated.
