Chapter 1884

Matthew didn’t say anything, but he obviously didn’t agree with her.

“I’m fine anyway, so don’t go overboard and force other people into a hopeless situation,” Lindsay added imploringly.

She then turned to Stella and winked at her, secretly asking her to help convince Matthew.

Stella pondered for a few seconds before she eventually agreed.

She then helped convince Matthew not to pursue the matter any further.

Due to Stella’s words, Matthew didn’t insist anymore.

Lindsay secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

“Can you help me lie to Grandma and not tell her about the robbery and my injury?” she begged Stella.

“I don’t want her to worry unnecessarily.

”

“Of course.

No problem,” Stella agreed.

“I’ll call Lucia later and tell her that you’ve just returned from abroad and aren’t settled in yet, so you’ll be staying with me for a while.

”

A sweet smile curved Lindsay’s lips.

“I’m lucky to have you.

If I were alone when this happened, I wouldn’t know what to do.

I’m really grateful.

”

Matthew looked at her injured arm.

“Since you’re hurt, you shouldn’t rush to work.

Focus on recovering first.

”

Lindsay chuckled.

“You don’t have to make a big deal out of it.

You’re making me feel like I’m crippled or something.

”

“Don’t joke like that,” Stella chided.

A mischievous look crossed Lindsay’s eyes, and she turned to Matthew.

“I talked to Grandpa and Grandma last night,” she said.

“I don’t want to jump right into a senior manager position in your company.

I want to start from the bottom and learn from you first.

They agreed, so it’s up to you now.

”

Matthew didn’t mind at all.

“LL have Fernando help train you,” he told her.

The three of them entered the living room as they talked.

Stella got a room ready for Lindsay.

“It’s been cleaned.

If you need anything, just let me know, okay?”

“Thank you,” Lindsay said gratefully.

“You’re welcome.

You must be tired after walking all day, so rest up first,” Stella said.

Then she left the room, closing the door behind her.

Lindsay lay on the bed and rolled over, staring at the ceiling with a meaningful smile on her face.

Meanwhile, after leaving the room, Stella took out her phone and called Lucia.

Lucia’s gentle voice drifted into her ears.

“Stella, why are you calling so suddenly? Did you go apartment hunting with Lindsay today? Is everything all right?”

Stella remembered Lindsay’s words and kept the mugging a secret.

“Everything’s fine,” she assured.

“I called to let you know that Lindsay just got back from abroad, so I’m letting her stay in Prosper Bay for a few days to help her get settled.
