Chapter 1885
When Love Comes Late
Lucia had no objections to that.
âThat sounds great.
Iâm relieved to see how well you two are getting along.
Youâre such a thoughtful person.
With you and Matthew by her side, I donât think thereâs anything for me to worry about,â she said happily.
She then reminded, âAlso, if you have time, take Lindsay out more to see the city.
She has been abroad for so long, and sheâs not very familiar with Seamarsh.
Getting out frequently will help her adjust more quickly.
â
âOkay.
Donât worry.
Iâll take good care of Lindsay,â Stella promised.
She hung up the phone just as Matthew entered from the balcony.
He reached out and wrapped her in a warm embrace.
âDid you call Grandma?â
Stella leaned into his chest.
âYes.
I told her that weâre going to let Lindsay live in Prosper Bay for the time being.
She cares a lot about Lindsay, so if she found out about the incident and her injury, she would be very worried.
â
âGrandma tends to overthink things, so itâs better to hide it from her,â Matthew said in agreement.
Stella nodded, and then remembered Kristianâs invitation.
She looked up at him and said, âBy the way, Kristian called me today.
â
âKristian?â Matthewâs brows furrowed at once.
âWhy did he call you?â
Stella told him the truth and then asked, âAre you free tomorrow night? Letâs go there together.
â
âWell, since he took the initiative to invite us, of course, we will go,â Matthew readily agreed.
âWe should also ask Bella when she plans to start the treatment.
Cordell is already well-prepared.
â
âSo soon?â Stella asked, hugging Matthew.
Matthew nodded in response.
Stella felt much more relieved to see that he had arranged everything.
They both fell silent.
Then, the scene where she was robbed today suddenly appeared in Stellaâs mind.
She couldnât help sighing.
Matthew noticed it.
He asked, âWhatâs wrong? What are you thinking?â
He lowered his eyes and looked at her.
âI just remember what happened this morning.
â Stellaâs shoulders slumped, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.
âWhen the robber rushed over with a knife, my mind went completely blank.
I didnât expect Lindsay to stand in front of me.
This time, itâs not only you, but I also owe her a favor.
â
Matthew fell silent.
Stella continued, âWeâve only known each other for a day.
Weâre not even close.
But she didnât stand idly by when such a thing happened to me.
Your grandma has really educated her well.
She has taught Lindsay to become kind and brave.
â
She believed most people would be wise enough to protect themselves first when they encountered such a situation.
After being silent for a while, Matthew said, âShe grew up under Grandmaâs care, so she must have been influenced by Grandma.
But her familyâs situation is a little complicated.
â
Stella raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
âIsnât she Luciaâs friendâs granddaughter? Why complicated?â
