Chapter 1886
When Love Comes Late
Actually, she was also a little curious as to why Lindsay was raised by Lucia.
After all, even if Lucia didnât have a grandchild by her side, no one would be willing to give their own grandchild to someone, no matter how good their relationship was.
Stella pondered for a while.
Then, she asked tentatively, âCould it be that she is not her parentsâ biological daughter?â
Matthew shook his head.
âThe Wheeler familyâs situation is complicated.
But they live far from here.
Since Grandmaâs friend entrusted Lindsay to us, the two families havenât contacted each other for a long time.

Stella nodded slightly.
She didnât ask any more questions about it.
On the evening of the next day, Stella and Matthew went to Bellaâs house.
When they got out of the car, Kristian came out and greeted them warmly.
âThank you for coming.
At first, I wanted to book a restaurant outside.
But I changed my mind.
I thought it would be better if I personally cooked at home to show my sincerity.
â
âDonât mention it,â Stella said.
Then, she asked concernedly, âHowâs Bella feeling these days?â
She knew Elizabethâs actions must have caused a big blow to Bella.
Aside from Bellaâs physical condition, Stella was more concerned about her mental health.
Kristian sighed, âShe used to love Elizabeth and was very tolerant of her.
Itâs impossible for her not to feel sad when something Like this happens.
However, now that Elizabeth has returned to Dorburn and they canât see each other, Bella can have peace of mind.
She has calmed down a lot in the past two days.
â
Stella was relieved when she heard this.
âThatâs good.
â
Kristian shook his head helplessly and sighed again, saying, âElizabeth has done so many wrong things and caused you so much trouble.
As her father, I feel so embarrassed.
I am really sorry.
â
Kristianâs words were sincere, and he had a sad expression.
This made Stella feel uncomfortable.
She looked at him and said comfortingly, âItâs not your fault.
You and Bella are tolerant and upright elders.
Itâs Elizabeth who did not cherish your love.
She let you down.
â
Kristian waved his hand helplessly.
Finally, he praised Stella.
âNow I understand why Bella thinks so highly of you.
You are indeed a very kind person.
â
Stella said modestly, âYou are flattering me.
I just did what I could do.
But I know it didnât help much.
â
âNo, donât say that.
You have helped a lot.
If you didnât accompany Bella, Iâm afraid she would only be sadder.
â
While they were talking, Bella also went downstairs.
And when she saw Stella, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.
âStella, Mr.
Clark, here you are.
Iâm so glad to see you.
Dinner is ready.
Letâs go to the dining room and eat.
â After saying this, Bella held Stellaâs arm and took her to the dining room.
Bellaâs warm welcome made Stella and Matthew comfortable as they sat.
Stella felt relieved when she saw that Bellaâs mood was much better now.
To not spoil the moment, she didnât mention those disappointing things in the past few days.
Bella was very enthusiastic.
It was as if she had temporarily forgotten those things.
âStella, we donât know what you and Mr.
Clark like to eat, so we can only prepare some popular dishes.
I hope you donât mind.
â
After she said this, Kristian chimed in, âItâs all my fault.
I should have asked you when I called yesterday.
I was thoughtless.
