Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 409

Over in Mist Bay, Stella was chatting away with Susanna when suddenly the line went dead. She tried calling back, but there was no answer. Twice more she tried, and twice more she got nothing.

Ronald stepped up, smoothly taking the phone from her hand and popping a pill into her mouth. "This is your pre-meal medication."

"Ugh!"

It was bitter. Seriously, where did Ronald find these doctors who prescribed the most god-awful tasting pills?

Stella's face scrunched up in protest.

Ronald handed her a glass of water, and she hurried to swallow the pill. No sooner had she done so than he pressed a piece of candy into her mouth. The sweet burst of orange filled her senses, offering some relief.

"Better?"

"Yeah, sweet."

Ronald tousled her hair. "Spreading rumors about Hull, huh? You've got guts."

Stella's cheeks flushed. "We were just speculating."

"Yvonne."
