Chapter 2116
When Love Comes Late
But he had made his warning clear.
Sanford was no fool; he had to understand that a man like Matthew wouldnât allow him any opportunity to pursue Stella.
If he persisted, the outcome could be disastrous.
Bennett sighed, overwhelmed by the recent events.
The association with the Lowell family had only a subtle influence on Stellaâs life.
If pressed, she would remark that it simply meant there were a few more people who held her dear.
Stella sensed that the Lowells cared deeply for her and held her in high regard; however, her scant memories of them meant that her affection for them was somewhat reserved.
What truly delighted Stella was hearing from Earle that Bellaâs health was improving and there was a strong possibility that her memory would fully return.
âI hope you can remember everything in the past!â Stella exclaimed.
Bella, visibly uplifted by the news, agreed earnestly, âYes.
â
She yearned to escape the shadows of deceit that had clouded her life.
As they left the hospital, Stellaâs phone rang-it was Miley on the other line, bubbling with excitement.
Before Stella could get a word in, Miley burst out, âNeville has a friend who recently opened a holiday resort.
How about you join us for a bit of relaxation?â
Recent events had been a whirlwind, leaving little time for leisurely outings.
Glancing at Bella, Stella felt a moment of hesitation.
Bella, overhearing the conversation, blinked encouragingly and mouthed, âGo ahead.
Itâs fine.
â
Stella consented.
âWhen do we leave?â
Miley, thrilled, replied, âIâll take care of the arrangements.
We can head out tonight.

After a pause, Miley added with a hint of mischief, âAnd donât forget to bring Mr.
Clark along.
Itâs rare we all get to gather.
â
With a resigned smile, Stella responded, âIâd love to, but it all depends on his availability.
â
Miley chuckled.
âIf Mrs.
Clark personally invites him, how could he possibly refuse?â
Stella responded, âDonât talk nonsense.
â
Miley teased her once more before the two ended the call.
Turning to Bella, Stella said, âIâm heading to a resort with Miley tonight.
Would you like to come?â
âNo, thanks,â Bella declined, squeezing Stellaâs hand gently.
âYouâve been through so much lately.
You deserve some rest.
Donât worry about me; I can manage on my own.
â
Stella nodded in understanding.
After the driver took Bella home, Stella made her way to Prosperity Group to meet with Matthew.
