Ch.2047 Chapter 2052 - When Love Comes Late

Matthew, however, understood her and interjected, âDonât worry, Grandma.

Stellaâs just begun her pregnancy, and she should remain in familiar surroundings to nurture the baby.

Iâll arrange for Erin to stay at Prosper Bay for a while instead.

Luciaâs expression showed her reluctance.

Matthew added quickly, âBesides, this house is far from my office.

Itâd be hard for her to rest with all the traveling.

Lucia looked worried.

âBut youâre pregnant, Stella.

Canât you take a break from work?â

Stella appreciated Luciaâs concern but couldnât make any promises right then.

Lucia persisted, âOr maybe bring your work home.

Weâre not short on resources, after all.

As the tension began to rise, Lindsay intervened smoothly, âGrandma, letâs let Stella make her own decisions about her work.

She took Luciaâs hand reassuringly and said, âMany women nowadays prefer to focus on work rather than have children.

Stella is ambitious, and we shouldnât pressure her.

Luciaâs face changed just as Lindsay had hoped it would.

Lucia quickly explained, âStella, please donât misunderstand.

Iâm not suggesting you quit your job.

Itâs just that being newly pregnant might make you more tired.

How about you rest a bit now, and we can handle the work later?â

Seeing the worry on Luciaâs face, Stella smiled to reassure her.

âLucia, itâs okay.

I understand what youâre saying.

Iâm still feeling pretty good, though.

Sitting around until the baby comes would drive me crazy.

Keeping busy with work makes me happy.

This seemed to ease Luciaâs concern somewhat.

Stella promised sincerely, âIâll ensure to take good care of myself, so donât worry.

Lucia felt a lot better hearing this promise.

Turning to Lindsay, Stellaâs voice became cooler.

âNo matter how ambitious I am, my family always comes first.

I wonât compromise on that.

Stellaâs expression was cold, her words sharp, causing Lindsayâs face to harden.

Lindsay attempted a faint smile.

âI was just giving Grandma a friendly reminder, thatâs all.

Stella looked at Lindsay in a way that made it clear she wasnât fooled, making Lindsay uncomfortable.

Stella had no patience for Lindsayâs antics.

She said firmly, âIf youâre going to say something dodgy, you might as well keep it to yourself.

Lindsay nodded and said, âYouâre right, Stella.

Iâll think more carefully before speaking next time.

But internally, she was filled with anger.

Stella seemed so overconfident during her pregnancy.

She would Likely be even more so after the babyâs birth.

Lindsay clenched her jaw, determined not to let Stellaâs pregnancy progress smoothly.

She felt she had to act quickly or she would become irrelevant.
