Chapter 136

With her lips pursed, Stella drew a breath and waited for her to speak.

Lucia’s pitiful voice came the next second.

“I heard you and my grandson are going to get divorced.

Actually, I want to persuade you to try and make your marriage work.

In case you don’t know, I Like you very much.

You are the perfect woman for my grandson.

I still want you as my granddaughter-in-law.

Tell me, are you really going to divorce?”

The old woman’s worried words got Stella in her feelings.

Her marriage travail was a source of worry to both her grandfather and Maverick’s grandparents.

She couldn’t imagine how tough it was for them.

After much hesitation, Stella was about to speak, but Matthew’s voice suddenly came from behind.

“Stella, why are you standing there?”

Stella turned around and hurriedly said to the phone in a hushed tone, “I have to go.

I’m currently busy at work.

Please let’s talk some other time.

”

Lucia was understanding enough not to insist.

She quickly said, “Okay, I won’t disturb you.

Talk to you later.

After she ended the call, she stared at her phone with a look of confusion.

The male voice she just heard was just like her grandson’s.

Could it be that Matthew went to talk things out with Stella? Did he want to make their marriage work?

Did he keep it a secret because he didn’t want them to interfere in his marriage?

But why was he so serious when he spoke about getting a divorce? Was it just an act? Did he try to distract them so he could have all the time to get to know his wife better?

Lucia’s thoughts made several leaps.

In the end, she was all smiles.

She couldn’t wait to meet her granddaughter-in-law and build a bond with her.

Stella put away her phone and walked to Matthew in a hurry.

She explained apologetically, “Sorry about that, Mr.

Clark.

I got a personal call, so I had to take it.

What can I do for you?”

Matthew didn’t utter a word.

He just held out some Band-Aids.

Stella stared at them, confusion clouding her mind.

As if he read her mind, Matthew glanced at her high-heeled shoes and frowned.

“Being on set requires a lot of running around.

Next time, change into some flats or low-heeled shoes.

”

Stella had a strange feeling at this moment.

It dawned on her that Matthew had taken his time in the car just because he was getting her Band-Aids.
