Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 827

Ronald got the news and rushed back to the Quinn estate as fast as he could.

The moment he stepped into the bedroom, he heard Stella's phone buzzing insistently on the nightstand.

But Stella was fast asleep.

He strode over in long, quick steps, but made barely a sound. Carefully, he picked up her phone and slipped out of the room, not wanting the noise to wake her.

On the drive back, he'd overheard his mother on the phone-she'd sounded like she'd been crying hard.

The call was from Susanna.

Ronald answered, "Hello?"

"Oh—Mr. Quinn?" Susanna sounded a little flustered to hear his voice.

"Did you need to talk to Stella?" Ronald asked.

"No, nothing urgent. Is she alright?" Susanna replied, suddenly realizing it had been ages since she'd last heard Stella's voice. Ever since Yvonne took Stella to the island, they hadn't really caught up.

"She's fine. Just a bit sleepy from the pregnancy," Ronald replied.

"Oh, she's napping? Then I won't bother her," Susanna said quickly, ending the call.

Back when she used to hang around Hull, Susanna had always found that guy intimidating. But Ronald, even over the phone, felt downright scary.
