Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 899

Xander wished he could just sew Shawn’s mouth shut.

Honestly, the more he thought about it, the more he figured Shawn really needed to be sent off to hang out with Finley for a while—maybe then he’d learn to keep that big mouth of his in check.

“It’s your sister-in-law, Yvonne!” Xander said, trying to keep his patience.

Shawn blinked. “What about Yvonne?”

“She’s under a ton of stress after everything that’s happened. I think she needs to see a therapist.”

Shawn was quiet for a moment. Yvonne? See a therapist? In his experience, Yvonne was one of the toughest people he knew—mentally unbreakable, or so he’d thought.

“Really? She needs therapy? Are you sure it’s that bad?”

Xander sighed, exasperated. “She threw up! You tell me—is that not serious?”

Shawn’s breath caught. “Yeah, that’s pretty serious. Maybe she should talk to someone.”

If Yvonne was literally getting sick from stress, things were worse than he’d thought. Now even Shawn agreed—a therapist was a must.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll find the best therapist in town for her.”

Xander grunted his approval and hung up.

Meanwhile, Yvonne was doubled over, retching so hard she felt like she might lose her liver.

Xander handed her a bottle of water. “Look, now that we know Susanna’s with your brother, why are you still so stressed? Or—don’t tell me—you’re feeling bad about going after Dan?”

There was a definite chill in Xander’s tone whenever he mentioned Dan’s name.

Yvonne snatched the bottle and smacked him on the arm. “What kind of nonsense is that?”

Feeling bad about going after Dan? Seriously? That was rich, even for Xander.

Xander just shrugged. “Then what are you so stressed about? You look like death warmed over.”

Yvonne glared at him, but honestly—she didn’t have a good answer. Every time she got anxious lately, she felt nauseous. This whole mess was driving her insane.

She unscrewed the cap and rinsed out her mouth. “Do me a favor—quit bringing up that kind of crap.”
