Chapter 1486
When Love Comes Late
When Elizabeth turned and sneaked a peek at Bellaâs phone, she saw the email was from Stella.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
She let go of Bella and stood up.
Bella opened the email and read it carefully.
At this time, Elizabeth saw the wedding photo at the bottom of the email.
Her eyes narrowed.
Jealousy and anger surged in her heart again.
But she did her best to remain calm.
She pretended to be relaxed and said, âStella and Matthew are getting married? Youâre invited to their wedding.
Can you take me with you?â
Elizabethâs tone remained unchanged.
But Bellaâs mouth tensed, and a small frown creased her forehead.
Memories of Elizabethâs past actions lingered, leaving her hesitant.
She worried that Elizabethâs return to Seamarsh might reignite her feelings for Matthew, leading to unnecessary complications.
Elizabeth understood Bellaâs hesitation instantly.
As Bellaâs eyes blinked and tears welled up, she pleaded, âMom, I truly realize my mistake.
Canât you trust me? ALL I ask is to witness the man I once adored getting married.
Canât you grant me this simple wish?â
Bella stayed silent, her troubled expression speaking volumes.
âMomâ¦â Elizabeth repeated, trying to reassure her.
âIâve moved on from Matthew.
And I owe Stella an apology.
You wouldnât want your daughter to avoid facing her mistakes, would you?â
Bella softened at Elizabethâs heartfelt words.
âAlright.
Iâll take you with me.
â
âThank you, Mom.
â Elizabethâs face lit up as she hugged Bella gratefully.
Bella smiled gently but added a reminder.
âJust promise me youâll be good this time and wonât cause any more trouble, okay?â
âI promise!â Elizabeth agreed earnestly.
âIâll head out now.
Get some rest.
â
With that, she turned away, her smile fading, replaced by a steely determination reflected in her eyes.
After shutting the door, Elizabeth leaned back against it, her face clouding over with worry.
Last time in Seamarsh, she couldnât handle Stella, but now, she was determined to crush her into the dirt and make everyone hate her.
After Elizabeth left, Bella didnât just go straight back to sleep.
She took another peek at the wedding picture Stella had sent and studied it closely.
She closed the email before to keep Elizabeth from getting upset.
In the picture, Stella wore a joyful smile.
Her wedding dress, while plain, complemented her figure beautifully.
Elizabeth said Stella wasnât a good person.
But Bella felt a strange sense of connection and fondness for Stella since their first accidental encounter, as if they had known each other for ages.
Bella gazed at the photo, struggling to remember, but her headache intensified.
A blurry image flashed in her mind as if someone was calling her.
