Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 988

She wanted nothing to do with that bastard Dan—absolutely nothing.

If the baby was his, there was no way in hell she’d keep it. Not for any reason.

“The baby’s mine,” Xander said, his tone unmistakable.

“Xander!” Yvonne’s voice snapped like a whip. The way she looked at him—pure guilt clouding her eyes—just twisted the knife deeper in his chest.

He looked back at her, pained. “What do I have to do to make you understand? Are you empty-headed or just not listening?” Desperate, he almost laughed at the absurdity. Was he not explaining himself? He was—over and over! But Yvonne refused to believe him.

“Why can’t you admit the baby’s mine?” he pressed, his frustration boiling over. Dan might have been losing his mind, but Xander was right there with him. How could he not be angry when Yvonne was so ready to name someone else the father, like he simply didn’t exist? And on top of everything, he couldn’t even lash out at her—it only made it all cut deeper.

Yvonne shot him a look. “You really think I should just trust you? Trust that you’ve lost your damn mind?”

Xander tried to protest, but she cut across him.

“Xander, this isn’t necessary. It’s just a procedure—it’s not going to ruin my health.”

He stared at her, speechless. “A procedure? You talk about it like it’s nothing. Do you even hear yourself? I’m warning you—don’t even think about getting rid of this baby. You’re having it, whether you like it or not.”

“You—”

“It’s my baby. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine!” He repeated it, each time more desperate, hoping maybe this time she’d finally see the truth.

But Yvonne just went quiet, watching him, her expression unreadable.

“What’s that look supposed to mean?” he asked, unnerved. Was she really so convinced he was lying?

“Nothing. I want some orange juice,” she said blandly, suddenly changing the topic.
