Chapter 1708
When Love Comes Late
After a moment, she turned to Juliette, unable to contain herself, and asked, âWere you as nervous as I am the night before you married Oliver?â
Remembering how she felt, Juliette squeezed Stellaâs hand and said, âItâs normal to feel nervous.
Donât let your emotions overwhelm you.
Getting married is a big deal, especially considering the Clark familyâs influence.
Itâs natural to feel a bit anxious.
â
Stella nodded slightly, but she still felt tense.
âNow that youâve decided to marry Matthew, you should be ready for the attention.
People will be watching your every move,â Juliette reassured her with a smile.
Stella nodded quietly.
âAlright.
Try to be happy.
Tomorrow, youâre marrying the man you love.
Thereâs no need to look so sad.
Just think, soon youâll have your own adorable little ones.
That should make you happy,â Juliette said, putting her arm around Stellaâs shoulders.
Stella couldnât help but feel a little excited at the thought.
But her smile faded quickly.
She remembered Matthewâs situation.
It might take a while before they could have children.
As she was lost in thought, her phone rang.
It was Matthew.
Juliette playfully covered her mouth and teased, âHeâs so in love with you.
Youâve only been apart for a short while, and Mr.
Clark is already calling.
â
Stella blushed and shyly looked down.
Seeing her embarrassment, Juliette stopped teasing her.
âIâm tired too.
Go ahead, answer it quickly.
I wonât bother you anymore.
â
Stella picked up the phone when Juliette stepped into the room.
She wasnât sure if it was because of what Juliette said, but she felt a bit strange.
After gathering her thoughts, Stella asked, âWhatâs going on?â
âI miss you,â Matthew said directly.
His voice was gentle, like a feather gently tugging at Stellaâs heart.
It sounded a bit hoarse; perhaps he had been drinking.
Stellaâs face grew even hotter.
She heard some noise from Matthewâs end, so she changed the subject.
âAre you still at the party?â
Neville had organized a party for Matthew.
Thinking about it, Stella was more certain that Neville and Miley made quite the pair.
They both loved parties and did the same for their friends.
âYes,â Matthew replied.
âMileyâs had a bit too much to drink.
Flossie didnât show up.
Our partyâs ended and weâre at the suite now.
â Stella could tell he sounded a little tipsy, so after updating him on her end, she reminded him, âHang up soon.
Donât drink too much.
Get some rest.
â
