Chapter 358
[ 605 words ]
So many people had their eyes on the Quinn family, especially those who came with wolfish ambitions, hoping to form alliances through marriage. Seeing those people, Ronald knew that the Quinn family was surrounded by wolves. Even though they had the support of the Lugar family through their mother, things still got somewhat out of control at that time.
Ronald kissed her gently.
“”You’ve done well,” he whispered.
When she left Ferrowland without a trace, Ronald nearly lost his mind. It wasn’t until he discovered she was in Portis City that he could finally breathe a little easier.
About ten minutes passed…
Idris and Finley returned, carrying a big bag of snacks for Stella.
Stella rummaged through it, pulling out a box of Jell-O and struggling to open a packet of instant coffee.
Ronald took the packet from her and tore it open easily.
He watched as she poured the coffee powder into a cup and then dump the Jell-O in.
“Jell-O can be eaten like this?” Ronald asked, skepticism lacing his tone.
“Yeah, it’s really good,” Stella replied with a grin.
Back in Ferrowland, Ronald wouldn’t have let her eat such things. But now, it was a different story.
Stella speared a piece with a fork and held it out to Ronald.
He frowned. “What’s this?”
“Try it.”
He eyed the white powder coating the Jell-O with some distaste. “Is this even edible?”
Up front, Idris shivered at Ronald’s doubtful tone. Had he bought the wrong snacks? He’d tried to pick the sweetest things, knowing Stella’s preferences.
“Of course it’s edible. Try it, it’s delicious.”
Ronald was left speechless. These past few years in Portis City, she really tried everything. Hot wings, all sorts of junk food-everything she never got to try when she was with him, she tried them all this time. Ronald hesitated before reluctantly taking a bite. It was far too sweet for his liking.
“Idris,” he called to the front, “give Thane Quarry a call when you get a chance.”
Stella raised an eyebrow. “Why are we calling Mr. Quarry?”
Speaking of the Quarry family, the only one Stella considered somewhat normal was probably Thane.
“To get some parenting advice,” Ronald replied.
Stella blinked.
Finley was equally puzzled.
Parenting advice? For whom? Yorick Quarry, the man-child?
Finley was clueless, but Stella immediately understood the reason behind Ronald’s request. When Yorick had called back then, Ronald was preparing to indulge in a wild night with Stella. She knew things wouldn’t end so simply.
Idris, still not fully grasping the situation, asked, “Should we tell Mr. Quarry to apply some special discipline?”
Stella was baffled. Special
discipline? What did that even
mean? Surely they weren’t
suggesting Yorick needed a
ovel
spanking at his age?
She stayed silent, focusing on her Jell-O.
Ronald merely nodded, wiping away the white residue from Stella’s lips with his thumb.
“Is my face a mess?” she asked.
“Yep,” he replied, cleaning her face with a wet wipe.
The car arrived at the seaside dock.

“Hey, do I have a sun shirt?” she asked, her tone worried.
Finley chuckled. “A sun shirt? We’re getting on a yacht, not sunbathing. You’re being dramatic.”
Stella pouted.
The next moment, Finley got a swift kick from Ronald, nearly knocking him into the water.
“What? What did I say?”
Ronald was always quick to use his feet.
Idris leaned over and whispered to Finley, “You called her dramatic.”
Finley often didn’t know why he was getting kicked, and Idris couldn’t help but pity his lack of awareness.
Stella, meanwhile, was worried about Susanna. As Ronald led her towards the yacht, she dialed Susanna’s number.
Once connected, she immediately asked, “Susie, are you safe?”
Susanna’s voice was a wail. “Oh, Star, I’m so upset!”
“Why are you crying?”
“I lost my first kiss!”
Stella was stunned. “What???”
