Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1136

Thinking about those two reminded Yvonne of the night Xander's crew had dragged him away to escape her wrath. She shot Xander a dark look.

"Let's go, let's go," Xander said, grabbing her hand and pulling her away.

Having his buddies call him every day crying about the situation wasn't sustainable; he had to fix this. If Dan Murray wanted to stay in Ferrowland, Xander had to find a way to extinguish Yvonne's fury. They couldn't have her beating Dan up every single time she saw him. Xander had spent the last few days assuring Ashley and the others that Yvonne wouldn't resort to violence again, but they simply didn't believe him. After witnessing the sheer brutality with which she had handled Dan, they were terrified.

As Xander led Yvonne away, Stella pouted. "Xander never struck me as a coward. Why did he chicken out so badly that night?"

"It was the people around him who chickened out," Ronald said, gently ruffling her hair.

Stella fell silent. *The people around him?*

"After that night, Dan and several of his guys ended up in the hospital," Ronald explained. "They were genuinely scared." And no wonder—the way Yvonne had demolished Dan was genuinely terrifying.

But enough about them. Stella looked up at Ronald with wide, pleading eyes. "Can we have hot wings tonight? Please?"

It felt like forever since she had indulged in her favorite cravings. Ever since she got pregnant, Ronald had become incredibly strict about her diet. Everything was so bland that Stella felt like her taste buds were dying of boredom.

"Alright," Ronald finally relented.

"Really? You mean it?" Stella's eyes lit up with disbelief. She instantly sprang up and grabbed his hands, a massive smile blooming across her face. Every time she had asked before, he had shut her down completely.

"Occasionally is fine," Ronald said, his tone softening. Earlier in the pregnancy, he had to be cautious, but now, a small cheat meal wouldn't hurt.

Stella nodded vigorously. She had been quietly miserable for weeks over her restricted meals, and Ronald had obviously noticed.
