Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 594

Stella glanced at Ronald, her voice trailing off, "But Susie, she..."

Ronald cut her off with a wave of his hand. "Alright, what did you bring for Grandpa this time?"

He deftly shifted the conversation away from Susanna. Ronald knew that Hull would handle the Susanna situation; he was always good at reading Hull's intentions. If they tried to intervene, Hull would likely be displeased.

"A teapot," Stella replied with a sigh. "You know that."

Ronald chuckled, knowing full well the finicky nature of the old man. "Will Grandpa even like what I got him?" Stell fretted, her brow furrowing at the thought.

Grandma was easy to please; she always seemed thrilled with whatever gift Stella brought. But Grandpa was a different story. He was notoriously picky, and he'd make it clear if he didn't like something. Ronald himself had been on the receiving end of Grandpa's blunt honesty before.

This time, Stella had returned from Portis City with gifts for everyone, each one carefully selected. Everyone was covered, except for the nagging worry that Grandpa might not appreciate his gift.

Ronald affectionately pinched her cheek, "Don't worry. Grandpa will love it."

"Really?" she asked, her voice hopeful.

Ronald nodded confidently. "Hasn't he always liked what you've given him in the past?"
