Chapter 1869
When Love Comes Late
Stella remained modest, her smile genuine.
Lucia, sensing the camaraderie between the two, encouraged them.
âLindsay and Stella are close in age and share common interests.
You should chat more.
â
Lindsay grinned.
âAs long as Stella doesnât mind my constant chatter.
â
Just then, a servant interrupted, saying to the elderly couple respectfully, âDinner is ready, Mr.
and Mrs.
Clark.
â
âLetâs eat.
Conversation can continue over food.
â Lucia stood.
Stella moved to assist Lucia, but Lindsay beat her to it.
Arm in arm, the two women walked toward the dining room, laughter trailing behind them.
Stella lowered her hand and followed behind them.
They walked into the dining room.
Lindsay was very outgoing, engaging actively at the table, which kept Lucia and Waldo smiling constantly.
The atmosphere was livelier than before.
Stella could see that both Lucia and Waldo were very fond of Lindsay.
They clearly adored her.
But upon further reflection, she understood.
After all, before Matthew joined the family, only Lindsay stayed here, keeping the elderly couple company like a granddaughter.
Naturally, they loved her deeply.
Suddenly, Waldo turned to Matthew and said, âNow that Lindsay has graduated and come back, you should secure a job for her at the Prosperity Group.
â
Matthew responded softly, âHmm, I get it.
â
âGrandpa⦠Why do you want me to start working right after I graduated?â Lindsay said in a
playful, spoiled tone.
âI just want to enjoy some free time first.
â
âItâs fine if you donât want to work.
The Clark family can support you regardless.
â
âNo, thatâs not what I want.
Iâm determined to work hard and follow Stellaâs example to become a successful woman like her.
â Lindsay promptly amended her statement.
Stella smiled quietly.
âWhatever you wish,â Lucia smiled.
After pondering for a moment, Lucia spoke earnestly.
âSince Lindsay intends to work, it wouldnât be convenient for her to stay here.
Letâs find her a place near the company.
â
âOh,â Lindsay interjected, âGrandma, please donât worry.
Iâm not a child anymore.
I have my own plans.
â
Lucia gently patted her forehead and smiled, âYou always have everything planned out.
Well, as long as youâre happy, dear.
