Chapter 2066
When Love Comes Late
âIâm only trying to help you.
Why canât you see that?â Joann retorted, clearly annoyed.
âI know exactly what your intentions are.
Do I really need to spell it out for you?â Lindsay shot back, her tone icy.
âYouâ¦â Joann clenched her teeth in frustration, rendered speechless by Lindsayâs accusation.
With that, the conversation reached a bitter end.
The two parted ways, each upset and unresolved.
Miley had invited Stella to have dinner outside that evening.
On their way to the restaurant, Miley kept chatting with Stella, but the latter just smiled perfunctorily.
Miley noticed Stellaâs silence.
She thought for a while.
Actually, it was Matthew who told her to ask Stella out.
Of course, she also knew about the pregnancy incident.
With this thought in mind, she held Stellaâs arm and said, âAre you still thinking about having a baby? Donât think too much about it, okay? You and Matthew are still young.
Sooner or later, you will have children.
Besides, if you have a child now, you wonât have time for each other anymore.
Whatâs the point of living around children at such a young age?â
Stella stared at Miley for a while and smiled.
âDid Matthew ask you to comfort me?â
Miley smiled sheepishly.
âWell⦠Sort of.
But what Iâm telling you is from my heart.
You and Matthew are at the peak of your careers.
If you have a child now, donât you think it will only take up a lot of your energy? Then, you will only be exhausted and demotivated.
â
She paused, smiled mischievously, and continued, âBesides, if you really want a child, it wonât be that hard.
Just make love with Matthew more⦠Hmmâ¦â
Before Miley could finish her words, Stella covered her mouth in a hurry.
Stella glared at her playfully.
âDonât talk nonsense.
â
After making sure that Miley wouldnât talk nonsense anymore, Stella let go of her mouth.
âIâm not talking nonsenseâ¦â Miley wanted to continue teasing Stella.
But she suddenly stopped talking when she saw Stellaâs sharp gaze.
She could only chuckle.
Thanks to Miley, Stellaâs mood improved a lot.
Somehow, she looked relaxed now.
She sighed and said, âActually, Iâm fine.
Itâs just that too many things have happened recently.
I still canât accept them for the time being.
Just give me some time.
â
Then, Stella realized that they had been talking about her the whole time.
So, she added, âLetâs not talk about me anymore.
How are you recently?â
âNothing really special.
Iâve found a new model with great potential, and Iâve been training her hard recently.
I hope she can make more money for me.
â
Stella and Miley chatted until they entered the restaurant.
As soon as they walked in, Stella saw Bennett and a young man standing next to him.
Stella and Bennett greeted each other with a nod.
Then, they tacitly went separate ways.
