Chapter 479

[ 539 words ]

The butler felt a wave of relief wash over him after hearing Stella’s reassurances. The Quinn family and the Lugar family elders were whom she truly cared about. Despite being her blood relatives, the Larkin family was not on her list of

concerns.

“Buzz, buzz.”

Stella’s phone vibrated. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Yvonne calling.

Stella answered sweetly and softly, “Hey, Yvonne.”

“When are you coming back to Ferrowland?” Yvonne inquired on the other end.

“If all goes as planned, I’ll be back today,” Stella replied.

Yvonne couldn’t help but melt at the sound of Stella’s gentle voice.

“Hurry up. I’ve designed a few wedding dresses for you to try on,” Yvonne teased.

Stella was shocked. Wedding dresses? Who would have guessed that Yvonne, with her tomboyish demeanor, could create something so elegantly beautiful?

The truth was that Stella had tried on wedding dresses before her wedding to Yorick only because she recognized Yvonne’s handiwork in that boutique. Thankfully, it wasn’t Yvonne’s design that got torn in the end, or she would have had to offer a sincere apology.

“Well, I’m definitely coming back with Ronald,” Stella mumbled.

Wherever Ronald went, she followed. They had been apart for far too long, and now that they were finally together, she wasn’t about to let him out of her sight.

“Can’t bear to be apart, huh?” Yvonne teased.

Stella froze. That was something she couldn’t bear.

Adapting quickly, she corrected herself, “Ronald and I have been apart for too long, so of course, where he goes, I go.”

“Oh my, ‘Ronald, Ronald,’ you’re quite comfortable saying his name, huh?” Yvonne teased further.

Stella’s cheeks blushed a deep red at that.

“I’m not discussing this with you anymore,” she grumbled.

“Are you two officially together?” Yvonne asked, even though she knew the answer already. She was just having a bit of fun at Stella’s expense. She was well-acquainted with everyone around Ronald; she had known the moment they got together.

vel?

Yvonne smiled. “You’re too easy to please. Thank goodness it’s him and not some random guy with ridiculous hair, or I’d have to give him a piece of my mind.”

Stella gasped, “Really?”

“Well, go ahead and try with Ronald,” Yvonne laughed. “But I wouldn’t dare.”

Stella pouted, “I’m done talking with you.”

“Okay, so what do I call you now? My little sister or my sister-in-law?”

Stella was speechless.

“Stella, I treated you like a sister, and you’re becoming my sister-in-law,” Yvonne teased.

Stella couldn’t take it anymore and hung up.

Once she ended the call, it hit her.

Yvonne had been in Sands City, so why ask when she was coming back to Ferrowland? Could she have returned already?

Thinking of Xander who also had returned, Stella felt a surge of annoyance. That scoundrel! How dare he return?

No sooner had she hung up with Yvonne than Tegan called. “Star, we need another car.”

“Huh?”

“My car ended up hauling yours away with it.”

Stella was stunned. “How high was that ditch?”

It was high enough for the towing attempt to become a full-on recovery operation.

Tegan explained, “The car’s completely down now.”

That was serious.

Tegan explained. “About six feet. At

first, it t was just hanging there, wheel down. Now the whole

gone.” ning.

What made matters worse was that the road was too slick to manage a clean tow.

It all went down together!

Stella sighed. “Guess we’ll need to call for some serious help?”
