Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 828

The moment her eyes fluttered open, they were still glistening with tears-big, blue, and glassy.

When she saw it was Ronald, Stella sniffled, her little nose twitching, and the look on her face just screamed "poor me."

"Why did it take you so long to get home?" she whined, her voice clogged with emotion.

Clearly, she'd been crying for ages before she fell asleep.

Ronald just sighed, a little helpless, and pulled back the comforter to scoop her into his arms. "You little drama queen," he murmured.

"Rona...," Stella started.

He shot her a look, drawing out the end of his name as a warning.

She quickly corrected herself, "Babe....."

Her tone was pure misery.

Ronald pressed her head gently against his chest. "You started doubting me the minute that package showed up, didn't you?"

"I..."

Well, what did he expect? She'd been in a total panic.

He didn't bother explaining, just asked, "You had time to think things through now?"

"Huh?" Stella blinked up at him.

"Think about it," Ronald said, "I've been on a plane for like, what, eight hours just to get back here. Have you figured things out, sweetheart?"

As soon as Stella sent her frantic messages, Ronald had dropped everything and caught the next private jet back, taking the fastest route possible.
