Chapter 580
[ 528 words ]
When it came to Yvonne, Lottie had her reservations. She couldn’t help but think her daughter was the type who got excited about something for all of three minutes before moving on. Could she really pull off something impressive?
Lottie didn’t want any regrets at her daughter’s star-studded wedding.
“Alright then,” she conceded, though her tone suggested she wasn’t entirely convinced.
With her mom’s final word, Stella stayed silent. She felt a wave of gratitude when she remembered the little task she’d asked the butler to handle earlier. Lottie was clearly making sure Stella wouldn’t face any criticism.
She wanted to make it clear to all of Ferrowland that Stella was raised as her daughter-in-law, not merely as a daughter. That way, her relationship with Ronald would be perfectly natural and unquestioned.
Ronald, however, wasn’t ready to leave. “I’ll stay and help her with the fittings.”
Lottie shook her head. “No need. The Doyne family has been causing a stir lately. You should handle that.”
“I’ve already sent someone to deal with it,” he replied, clearly not wanting to leave. Lottie gave him a skeptical look, her lips pursed.
Stella thought about how busy Ronald must be since returning to Ferrowland. She suggested, “I’ll take photos of each outfit, and you can choose your favorite when you get back. How does that sound?”
Lottie huffed. “Typical.”
Ronald pulled Stella closer with a fond smile. “Alright.”
Stella nodded. “You should go take care of your work.”
During dinner, his phone had buzzed incessantly. It wasn’t that he didn’t need to leave; he just didn’t want to.
Lottie, seeing her son so hopelessly affectionate, decided she’d had enough and quickly slipped away.
The household staff, noticing Lottie’s departure, wisely followed suit.
Once it was just Stella and Ronald, Stella instinctively tried to pull away from his embrace.
But Ronald’s grip around her waist tightened slightly. “Where do you think you’re going, hmm?”
She blushed, “Mom was just here a moment ago.”
Her cheeks turned a rosy shade, and she felt the need to maintain some decorum in front of the elder.
Ronald chuckled and leaned closer.
Stella immediately caught on, planting a quick kiss on Ronald’s cheek before attempting to retreat.
But before she could, Ronald’s warm hand gently held the back of her neck.
“Mmm…”
His kiss swallowed the rest of her words.
Stella struggled for just a moment before surrendering to his embrace, allowing him to take what he wanted.

was melting into him.
About ten minutes later, when Stella was beginning to gasp for air, she tried to pull away.
Suddenly, a startled “Oh!” interrupted them-Yvonne’s voice broke the moment. Stella was startled, and as Ronald released her, she nearly stumbled backward.
Quick as a flash, Ronald caught her, pulling her back into his arms. “Still so clumsy, huh?”
Yvonne stood at the door, covering her eyes, babbling apologies, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
Stella’s face was as red as a ripe tomato, and she buried herself deeper into Ronald’s chest, not
wanting to show her face et
Sensing her embarrassment, Ronald shot Yvonne a cold look. “Well, aren’t you leaving?”
Yvonne blushed, flustered. “Oh, right, I’m going, I’m going… But seriously, could you not do that here? Do you expect me not to have eyes?”
