Chapter 406

Stella snuggled comfortably into Ronald's warm embrace, finally closing her eyes. Clinging to him felt a lot safer than keeping her distance.

Ronald chuckled softly, sensing her thoughts. "Star."

Ronald's unfinished words were held back by Stella's interjection. She had no interest in hearing another word from Ronald, especially at bedtime. Their conversations had a tendency to veer off into
