Ch.1182 Chapter 1185 - When Love Comes Late

Stella could sense the liveliness of Clintâs home through the screen.

It lifted her spirits amid the pang of missing the holiday with him.

Returning the focus to himself, Clint whispered to Stella, âStella, Iâve got Juliette and Oliver here.

Iâm genuinely happy.

You enjoy your time at Matthewâs; donât worry about me.

Stella nodded, ready to speak when Matthew leaned in, addressing Clint.

âHello, Grandpa.

Stella and I plan to visit you in Bysea after the New Year.

And, thereâs something I want to share in advanceâ¦â

He glanced at Stella and announced, âStella and I are gearing up for our wedding soon.

Clintâs laughter echoed, causing his mustache to tremble, and his aged eyes glistened with tears.

Dabbing his eyes, he exclaimed happily, âGood, good, good.

Arrange as you like.

Eagerly awaiting your wedding.

Before he could finish, Julietteâs cry echoed.

âOh dear, Iâve burnt it againâ¦ Itâs the fourth turkey now!â

âStella, Matthew, Iâve got to go check things, or Juliette might turn my kitchen into ashes.

â Clint swiftly ended the video call without waiting for Stellaâs goodbye.

Stella gazed at the screen, feeling a bit helpless.

She then sent Clint a voice message, wishing him a Merry Christmas.

After wrapping up all this, she set her phone down.

Lucia, seated across from her, observed the scene and remarked with a smile, âYour family is quite amusing.

Weâve overlooked it.

You and Matthew have been married for a while, and we havenât set up a meal for both families to meet.

Prompted by this, Stella realized she hadnât thought it through.

She nodded in agreement.

âIâll bring them over to meet you all next time they visit Seamarsh.

After the meal, Stella rose from her seat and headed to the kitchen, fetching the gingerbread cookies sheâd specially crafted for Matthew.

âGrandma mentioned these are your Christmas tradition.

Give them a try and let me know what you think.

Her eyes held a mix of nerves and excitement as she observed him.

Matthew took a cookie, took a bite, and exclaimed, âDelicious, just like every year.

Did Grandma whip these up?â

Grinning, Lucia shook her head.

âStella made them for you.

Matthew beamed with joy, turning to plant a quick ki*s on Stellaâs cheek.

He whispered, âIncredible.

Youâre amazing.

Caught by Luciaâs smiling gaze, Stella blushed and kept her eyes lowered.

Observing Stellaâs shyness, Lucia commented, âThis Christmas Eve is different from before.

I hope every Christmas Eve is as joyful as this one.

That evening, Lucia mentioned it had been a while since they hung out and invited them to spend the night in her place.

Back in the room, Stella headed for a shower.

Emerging from the bathroom, she settled on the balcony, lost in her thoughts.
