Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1177

Ronald returned to the master suite.

The maids had just finished carefully removing Stella's makeup, moving with utmost silence to avoid waking her. They had completed her skincare routine and gently dressed her in silk pajamas.

Seeing Ronald enter, a maid bowed respectfully. "Mr. Quinn."

Ronald waved his hand, dismissing everyone from the room.

The moment the heavy door clicked shut, his gaze locked onto the petite figure curled up on the bed, his eyes darkening with intense affection.

After a quick shower, he slid under the covers and pulled her warm body into his embrace.

He carefully positioned a specialized maternity pillow beneath her growing belly, ensuring she wouldn't wake up uncomfortable.

Stella whimpered softly, trying to shift her weight.

Instead, she rolled right into his muscular chest. "Water, Ronald," she mumbled. "I want water."

"Alright."

He grabbed the glass from the nightstand and helped her take a few slow sips.

The massive wedding had completely drained her.

Once she had enough, she nestled back into the pillows and instantly fell asleep.

Holding her close, Ronald felt as though he had the entire world in his arms.

...

Meanwhile, Yvonne strode into the house from outside, her phone pressed to her ear.

On the other end of the line, Mona sounded completely hysterical. "Yvonne, what the hell do you know?!"

"You deliberately made Tristan suspect me! He's already sent investigators to Novaderma, and Berry is trapped there!"

"Since you've taken it this far, why not just give me a quick death?!"

Mona was spiraling into madness.

No one understood the suffocating wave of despair she was drowning in.

She couldn't let Tristan's men find Berry, nor could she let Tristan discover her existence.

Especially not with Berry's face surgically altered to look identical to Stella's.

Yvonne was far too ruthless...

Only in this agonizing moment did Mona realize that Yvonne was intentionally drawing out her suffering.

She already knew everything...
