Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 979

Yvonne stared at him, shell-shocked by Xander’s blunt, forceful words.

She looked down at him, her voice tentative. “Yours?”

“The baby is mine. So stop making Dan’s life miserable, all right?”

Yvonne opened her mouth, searching for a retort, but a sudden rush of guilt made her falter. Her eyes turned on him with an unfamiliar softness. The change in her expression only made Xander more baffled.

“You…”

“You don’t have to do this,” she interrupted in a low voice, guilt woven through every syllable.

Xander felt a pounding headache building, worse than any he’d ever seen Dan complain about. “Yvonne—”

“Book me a doctor’s appointment. I want to terminate the pregnancy.”

The words hit Xander like a slap. His whole face changed.

He knew Yvonne—once she decided she was through with someone, she wanted them erased from her world. She’d never keep Dan’s child; her passions burned hot, and her grudges ran deep. The very idea was unthinkable.

But this was different.

Xander felt like numbness was spreading through his body. “The baby is mine. You’re not getting rid of it!”

She turned to glare at him. “Honestly, what’s with you? Is covering for Dan an addiction at this point?”

“Do I strike you as someone who takes the fall for other people?” he shot back, exasperated.

Yvonne wavered. Actually… no, that wasn’t Xander’s style at all.
