Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)

Stella: "What the...?!"

Wait, are we not having a showdown here?

Just a moment ago, seeing the bruises on Yvonne's arms, Mom was all set to give someone a talking-to.

And now... this?

Yvonne pouted, "Mom, come on, it was him who picked a fight with me

yesterday."

"And I was the one who got punched by Xander. You're telling me not to fight back with Xander? What's up with that?"

Why does that just not sit right with me?

Not fight back with Xander?

Was it my fault? Yesterday Xander looked like he was ready to tear me apart.

Was I supposed to just stand there and take it without fighting back?

"Mom, you're playing favorites."

Lottie: "Hey, weren't you just saying yesterday that you wanted to marry Xander?" "Yeah, I did say that, but now things are a bit more complicated."

"I feel like Xander is up to something, he's definitely plotting something against me."

Just then, Xander walked in from outside, catching her words. He paused for the briefest second.

Stella was the first to notice him, her face turning a shade darker, and she quickly tugged at Yvonne's sleeve.

Yvonne was still ready to argue her case to her mom.

But with Stella pulling her like that...

Yvonne: "Ugh, stop pulling me, I'm not done talking."

What's there to hide?

She's not lying, it was Xander who picked the fight yesterday.

What's Mom implying? Like she marched up to Xander for a brawl. Well, okay, she used to...

But that was before she knew the truth.

"It's jerk Xander," Stella whispered quietly.

Lottie: "Star, you..."

With stubborn kids, it's like banging your head against a wall.

Lottie shot Stella a look, and Yvonne couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of "jerk Xander."

"Yeah, exactly, jerk Xander, he's..."

"He's here."

Stella interjected again.

Though her voice was soft, Xander's face had turned as dark as a burnt toast. Yvonne: "..."

Lottie: "..."

Hearing Stella's words, they all turned to look at the doorway, and the moment they laid eyes on Xander...

Lottie's expression froze instantly.

Yvonne: "!!!"

This guy... He just called and said he was heading to the courthouse, and now he's here? What's his game?

Lottie finally snapped out of it, warmly calling out, "Xander, you're here."

Xander nodded, glancing at the disheveled Yvonne sitting on the couch. "I'm here

to take Yvonne to get married."

Stella, Yvonne: "..."

Lottie was momentarily taken aback.

Last night, Ronald had filled her in on the situation.

She thought it was just young folks messing around, but what's this now?

Before Lottie could respond, Yvonne burst out, "Who wants to marry you? Not in a million years."

"Yvonne, you

you'd marry me yesterday. I've on recording, come on, listen for yourself."

you were the one who said

With that, Xander pulled out his phone and hit play.

The recording played Yvonne's emphatic, "I do."

Those three words were said with such determination.

Anyone listening might think Yvonne had

fead over heels for Xander

, finally getting her fairytale

ending.

Hearing the recording, Yvonne was、 dumbfounded... No way, this guy? In

, he had the nervet

record it?

He missed his calling as a spy, seriously.

Lottie listened to the recording and turned to Yvonne, "You said you'd marry him?"

"No, I..."noveldrama

"But you sounded so happy when you said it."

Yeah, that's what Lottie heard in Yvonne's tone on the recording.

Yvonne's mouth twitched, "I wasn't, I really wasn't."

Happy? That was totally more like gloating.
