Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1047

“Yvonne, enough with the jokes,” Yale scoffed, his tone edged with irritation. “The Schultz estate is no place for your games.”

He grit his teeth as he spoke, still simmering over how much Yvonne and Xander had managed to walk away with last time. They hadn’t even finished nursing that grudge, and now she wanted to move back in? Was this some kind of joke? If she came back, would any of them get a peaceful day again?

Yvonne gave Yale a cool look. “Are you saying my duty to the family is a joke? Or is moving back in supposed to be one?”

Yale fell silent, biting back his frustration. Damn woman...

Tristan frowned at Yale, his impatience showing. Deep down, as a father, the years of estrangement from Xander had left him uneasy. He wanted to make things right, but Xander never gave him the chance. Now, hearing Yvonne propose moving back in with Xander, he felt a shaky sense of relief, tinged with anxiety.

But whatever misgivings he had, he wanted his son home. He shot Yale a steely glare, snapping, “Watch your mouth. If you can't be civil, keep quiet.”

“Father!” Yale protested, his voice tight with disbelief. Did he seriously want Xander and Ferrowland’s infamous witch to move in? If that happened, the entire house would be thrown into chaos.

Tristan turned toward Yvonne.

Yvonne spoke without missing a beat. “Besides, I’m carrying Xander’s child now. Given that I’m his wife, it would be quite the scandal if I kept living away from the family, don’t you think?”

“Pregnant?” Tristan’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Yes,” she replied, calm and steady.

“Then of course you should move home,” Tristan said at once.

The news startled him. Up until now he’d always suspected Xander and Yvonne’s marriage was just for show. But now, with a baby on the way... His gaze drifted to Yvonne’s stomach. Only someone who had been a parent could truly understand the feeling of expecting a grandchild.
