Chapter 1487
When Love Comes Late
Who could it be?
Bella grasped at the memory, but the more she delved, the worse her headache became.
She shook her head, stopping the memories, and refocused on the email displayed on her computer screen.
She responded sincerely to Stellaâs message.
âIâm glad youâve found happiness.
If I can, Iâll surely join you.
â
The following day, Elizabethâs request to be freed from her confinement was granted, and she swiftly arranged to meet her friend, Tanya.
Tanya awaited her at the bar, waving eagerly as Elizabeth approached.
Seated, Elizabeth was greeted with Tanyaâs gentle reproach.
âYouâve been distant.
Have you forgotten about me?â
After a sip of wine, Elizabeth felt a sense of freedom wash over her.
âMy mom grounded me,â she shared with Tanya, her voice tinged with seriousness.
Tanya was shocked by this news and blurted out, âOh my goodness!
What happened?
Elizabeth recounted her time in Seamarsh, exaggerating her complaints and blaming Stella.
After hearing the story, Tanya said angrily, âStella is such a bitch!
Shame on her!â
Elizabeth stayed silent, her face looked serious.
âYouâre back in Dorburn now, so donât dwell on those sad thoughts,â
Tanya said with a bright smile.
âIâll introduce you to some cool guys to cheer you up.
â
âNo need,â Elizabeth replied disdainfully.
âNone of them here can match Matthew.
â
Curious, Tanya asked, âWhatâs so special about Matthew that has you captivated? Do you have a picture of him?â
Elizabeth shot her a warning look and said, âDonât even try.
Heâs mine.
â
âI probably wouldnât fancy your taste anyway,â Tanya teased.
âBut considering what youâve been through in Seamarsh, do you have any ideas on what to do next?â
Elizabeth smirked, swirling her drink.
âDonât worry, Iâve got it covered.
Someone lent me a hand over in Seamarsh.
â
In Seamarsh, Stella heard the doorbell and swung the door open.
There stood Haley, lugging two hefty bags.
Surprised, Stella blurted out, âWhat brings you here?â
