Chapter 1124
When Love Comes Late
Ashley, youâre too soft.
Are we going to let this slide? That braceletâs costly.
What if itâs ruined?â
âMila, enough.
â Ashley interrupted her, then reassured Stella.
âIgnore Mila.
Itâs not as big a deal as sheâs saying.
â
Upon hearing Ashleyâs words, Stellaâs guilt deepened.
âIâm sorry.
Itâs on me for missing that.
â She cast a look towards the swimming pool.
âIâll dive in and grab the diamond.
â
âNo, donâtâ¦â Ashley gestured with a wave of her hand.
âWe should let the staff handle it.
â
With everyone around busy, Stella shook her head.
âNo worries.
I can handle it.

Although Ashley didnât argue, her voice carried a hint of worry.
âIâm sorry.
If I had known, I wouldnât have involved you.

Suddenly, a deep voice cut through the air.

âNo need for you to jump in!â
Stella stopped and turned around.
Luka walked up, casting a quick glance at her before looking at Ashley.
âItâs really cold today.
You shouldnât make Stella get in the pool.
â
Luka wore a coat designed by Stella, which made him look incredibly sharp and impressive.
Ashley couldnât take her eyes off him, only snapping out of it when Mila nudged her.
âLukaâ¦â Her voice was gentle and sweet.
âI didnât mean to push Stella.
I even told her not to go in.
But the bracelet is really important.
I promised the sponsor itâd be in the play.
If not, Iâd owe them a lot.
