Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 759

Half an hour later.

Ronald carried Stella back to their bedroom, her whole body limp like overcooked spaghetti. The moment he laid her down on the bed, she flopped over and mumbled, "You're such a jerk," her voice thick with sleepy accusation.

The man just grinned, looking more than a little smug. Everything that needed to be done had definitely been done downstairs.

Ever since they'd finally opened up to each other, Ronald wasn't exactly one to hold himself back in this department. Of course, they'd never pushed things too far-she was pregnant, after all.

Hearing Stella's grumpy little complaint, Ronald gently pinched her cheek and tucked the blanket around her. "Yeah, yeah, I'm terrible," he teased, his tone warm. “If I don't wear you out, you start overthinking everything. That brain of yours just loves to run wild."

Well, no chance of that now. Stella probably couldn't even remember her own social security number at this point.

She rolled over again and was out like a light.

As Ronald stood up, though, a sharp look flickered through his eyes. He picked up Stella's phone and checked it—she'd just been on the phone with Jaxon and Yorick.

His expression turned even colder, something dangerous lurking there.

In the study.

Idris had been waiting for Ronald.

When Ronald came in, Idris stood respectfully off to the side. "Boss."

"What's going on with Yorick and Hogan?" Ronald asked. Things had gotten pretty wild over in Portis City. Were they trying to force his hand on the Quarry family?

Idris replied, "Thane Quarry promised that if Yorick could clean up the mess at Quarry Group, he'd hand the company ver to him."

Ronald's eyes narrowed at that, a hint of a mocking smile tugging at his lips. "So that's what this is about."
