Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1035

Xander had barely ended his call with Shawn when Dan’s number flashed on his phone.

“Where the hell are you and Yvonne?” Dan's voice was all teeth and venom.

“What’s this about?” Xander shot back, his tone flat and cold—the kind you use when you know someone’s spoiling for a fight.

“What’s this about?” Dan nearly shouted. “If I don’t get this mess cleared up with the two of you today, do I have to spend the rest of my life running from that lunatic? Is she just going to keep coming after me?”

Dan was calling from his car, every word coming out with a wince. The wounds on his face stung something fierce. Damn woman, Yvonne! What was her problem, anyway? It was like nothing you said ever got through that thick skull of hers.

This latest brawl in Litamark—Dan was done with it all. One way or another, this had to end, or he could kiss his peace of mind goodbye for good.

“Don’t worry,” Xander replied coolly. “She’s not going to hit you again.”

Dan blinked. Was Xander for real? That sure sounded confident.

“What’s that supposed to mean? And why the hell should I believe you?” Just because Xander said so didn’t mean Yvonne wouldn’t lose her mind again. If she snapped, nobody could stop her. For Xander to be this sure, something must have happened.

“She believes the baby’s mine now.” Xander’s voice was different—softening a little—as he reached over and took Yvonne’s hand in his. Yvonne immediately rolled her eyes at him, trying to pull free, but Xander’s grip only tightened.

Dan, on the other end, was floored. “She… she really believes you?” He sounded downright suspicious. Just like that? “Seriously?”
