Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 977

Ronald's House.

After finishing his call with Yvonne, Ronald came downstairs to find Stella sitting contentedly on the couch, a bowl of fruit in her lap. When it came to eating, Stella was never a cause for worry. Especially now with the pregnancy, she had regained her appetite—and at any given moment, her cheeks were adorably stuffed full.

The moment Ronald appeared, Stella spat a cherry pit neatly into her hand. “Don’t you think there’s something strange about Yvonne being ‘sick’?”

Ronald raised an eyebrow. “Strange how?”

“I mean… don’t you think maybe Yvonne’s actually pregnant?” Stella looked at him, chewing her lower lip anxiously.

Ronald paused, a slow realization dawning on him. Finally, she’s piecing it together. Honestly, the doctors Xander had dragged Yvonne to see recently were almost comically off the mark.

“I’m serious—I get this feeling Yvonne’s pregnant!” Stella’s voice had a hint of urgency. “She keeps throwing up everything. It’s been going on forever! What else could it be?”

Ronald sat down next to her, gently taking the fruit bowl from her hands and lacing his fingers through hers. “She is pregnant.”

Stella froze. “Wait, really?”

He nodded. “She is.”

“So all this time…” The thought trailed off; her eyes widened. Pregnant? But hadn’t Xander taken Yvonne to a psychiatrist the other day? The whole thing felt absolutely absurd. In all her life, Stella had never heard of anything so far-fetched.

“Xander took her to see a gastroenterologist this morning,” Ronald added, as if reading her mind.

Stella gaped at him. “A gastroenterologist? Shouldn’t she be at an OB/GYN instead?”

Ronald smirked, watching her face. “It’s their first child. They’re both completely clueless.” Stella stared, momentarily speechless. Xander was ridiculous, but to be fair—even Finley Yoder, supposedly a reputable doctor, had missed the obvious when Stella was pregnant, running all sorts of pointless tests. Honestly, none of them seemed to have a clue.

“Well, since they’re so inexperienced, you need to sit Xander down and tell him everything your mother used to tell you,” Stella said, face going slightly pink. “Make sure he actually takes care of Yvonne instead of making things worse.”
