Ch.1431 Chapter 1435 - When Love Comes Late

Haleyâs compliment caught Stella off guard.

âOh, please, youâre too kind.

Iâm still learning the ropes really.

After suggesting dinner, she steered the conversation.

âItâs growing late.

Letâs grab a bite first.

Haley nodded agreeably.

âSure.

The duo hailed a taxi and departed from the film crew.

Stella settled on a renowned local eatery in Seamarsh.

Mid-meal, she broached a delicate topic.

âHaley, could you share memories from my childhood? Since the accident, my recollections are hazy.

All I recall are the days spent in the orphanage.

Setting aside her utensils, Haleyâs gaze took on a contemplative depth.

âBefore your fatherâs accident, our home boasted a sprawling garden.

You adored the swing set more than anything.

The image aligned precisely with the snippets from Stellaâs dreams.

No matter the query, Haleyâs responses flowed effortlessly.

Stella couldnât shake off Matthewâs words.

How could someone recall events from over two decades ago after a severe trauma? And maintain such composure?

It felt Like narrating someone elseâs story.

While the car accident had robbed Stella of her memories, Haley seemed unscathed.

Was there a secret buried beneath the surface? Doubts swirled in Stellaâs mind like restless shadows.

Having noticed Stellaâs silence, Haley began to second-guess her words, searching for any slip-up in her narrative.

After a brief pause, she couldnât resist asking, âStella, is everything alright? You seem lost in thought.

Stella snapped back to reality, shaking her head.

âItâs nothing.

Just reminiscing about the past.

Now that weâve reunited, Iâm determined to ensure you have a bright future ahead.

Relief washed over Haley.

She clasped Stellaâs hand, tears shimmering in her eyes.

âSince we crossed paths, Iâve felt each day holds promise.

Stella reciprocated the grip, her own feelings mingling with uncertainty.

Though Haley projected enthusiasm, she snorted inwardly.

It seemed those from humble beginnings were easily swayed.

Yet, complacency eluded her fleetingly.

In the next breath, Stella withdrew her hold and broached the subject.

âIf youâre available tomorrow, letâs arrange for a DNA test.

Haley hadnât anticipated this sudden turn.

Her smile faltered, frozen in place.

Stella, observant of the shift, furrowed her brow, sensing Haleyâs discomfort.

She worried Haley was unhappy about her distrust.
