Chapter 1868
When Love Comes Late
Stella handed the health supplements to the maid next to her and said, âIâm sorry for not visiting you and Waldo for a long time.
Matthew and I have been too busy with work recently.
Fortunately, weâre both free today, so we can come over.
I bought something for you on the way.
How have you been recently?â
Lucia gave Stella a kind smile and answered, âIâm fine.
Waldo and I are both doing fine.
But I miss you a little because I havenât seen you for a while.
â
Stella looked at Matthew and said to Lucia, âItâs our fault.
Weâve been too busy and havenât come home to see you.
But we will visit you often to spend more time with you from now on.
â
Luciaâs smile deepened.
âI know you are a good girl.
Donât worry.
I understand that you young people should focus on your careers.
I only asked you to come today because I have something important to tell you.
â
Then, she took the young womanâs hand and said to Stella, âThis is Lindsay Wheeler.
I want to introduce you two to each other.
â
Stella looked at the pure and lovely young woman in front of her.
When their eyes met, Lindsay smiled at her.
She nodded at Lindsay in response.
Lucia continued, âLindsay is my good friendâs granddaughter.
She was with me when she was a little girl.
But she went abroad to study not long after Matthew came back.
She was busy with her studies and couldnât come home.
Recently, she has had some free time, so she came to visit.

âSo, youâre Stella.
Lucia talks a lot about you,â Lindsay said with a sweet smile.
âYou are indeed very beautiful.
You and Matthew are a perfect match.
I was supposed to come back and attend your wedding.
But unfortunately, my professor didnât allow me to go.
Please donât blame me.
â
Stella replied, âItâs okay.
Donât worry about it.
Studies are more important.
â
Actually, she was a little surprised.
This was her first time knowing there was such a person in the Clark family.
She had never heard Lucia or Matthew mention about Lindsay.
Lindsay then turned to Matthew and greeted him.
âMatthew, long time no see.
â
âUm,â Matthew hummed coldly.
A trace of sadness appeared on Lindsayâs face.
âMatthew, you are still so cold.
â
Lucia smiled.
âDonât you still know him? He has always been like this.
He hasnât changed at all.
â
âOh, yes, youâre right.
I havenât been back for a long time, and I thought Matthewâs character would change after he got married.
I didnât expect him to be still so cold,â Lindsay said helplessly.
But there was a faint hint of complaint in her tone.
Then, she looked at Stella and said, âBecause of Matthewâs temper, he has few friends.
So, Stella, you should keep him in check.
â
Stella hadnât encountered anyone as enthusiastic and energetic as Lindsay in a long time.
The talkative young woman made Stella feel a tad overwhelmed.
Not knowing how to respond to Lindsayâs comment on Matthewâs temper, Stella changed the topic.
âAre you still a student? Whatâs your major field of study?â
Lindsay replied with a smile, âI just graduated.
I majored in financial management, though my grades werenât stellar like yours.
â
She then praised Stella, saying, âWhen I was abroad, I had watched a lot of news about you.
Even Bella, the design master from Dorburn, spoke highly of you.
You are awesome.
â
Stella blushed at the compliment.
âWell, design is just a minor for me.
My background is in public relations.
Bellaâs recognition was unexpected Luck.
â
Lindsay scoffed playfully.
âLuck? Come on, Stella! Youâve impressed Bella, a renowned designer.
Thatâs no fluke.
