Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 486

Cedric Clarke's brow furrowed, his expression darkening. "Stella, come here a second. I've got something important to discuss with you."

"Not going!"

"Star," Briony coaxed gently.

Irritated, Stella reluctantly stood up and stomped over to Cedric. "What is it?"

Without warning, Cedric cupped her chubby cheeks and planted a noisy kiss right on her lips-earning himself a sharp, resounding slap across the face.

"Cedric Clarke, are you out of your mind?!"

Cedric just grinned, dodged away, and called over his shoulder, “I'll bring you your favorite cream puffs tonight!"

"You're such a jerk, Cedric! Don't you dare come back! If you do, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Briony and James exchanged a look and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Honestly, only Cedric could handle Stella's fiery temper.
