Chapter 233
When Love Comes Late
âNo.
Iâve lived here for a long time.
Iâm way too accustomed to the place.
Besides, I donât want to cause trouble for you.
â
âGrandpa, youâre not going to cause trouble at all,â Stella said, taking a seat next to him.
âOliver and I both work in Seamarsh.
If you come with us, weâd be able to take care of you.
â
Clint wasnât persuaded.

âIâm fine.
You donât need to take care of me like a child.
Iâm still healthy.
Just go back and come visit whenever you have a break from work.
â
Stella paused for a moment in thought.
âJust come with us.
You donât need to be hospitalized right now, but you do need frequent checkups.
Seamarsh has much better-equipped hospitals.
Youâre better off there with us.
â
Clint shook his head, patting Stellaâs hand.
âMy only wish now is to see you live a happy life.
From yesterdayâs accident, I found that Maverick is a good man worth trusting for life.
Just live your Life to the fullest.
Iâm living mine.
â
Stella frowned, not understanding why Maverickâs name was mentioned again.
Her marriage with Maverick was going to end.
Her lips parted as she was about to speak.

Oliver beat her to it.
âGrandpa, theyâre going to get divorced.
So donât get all excited for nothing.
â
Just because Maverick had saved Stella yesterday didnât mean that Oliver would forget how terribly he treated her.
He hoped that his grandpa would see the truth.
âWhat? Why?â Clint asked in utter disbelief.
He turned to look at Stella.
Seeing her acquiesce in it, he sighed heavily.
âNo wonder after you returned to Seamarsh, I asked you about Maverick, but you were hesitating in speaking.
So you lied to me that Maverick went abroad on a business trip, didnât you?â
This time around, Stella wasnât going to hide anything.
She nodded slightly and lowered her head.
With a trace of helplessness, Clint asked, âWhy didnât you tell me about it? I only asked you to marry him because I thought he was a good man I canât take care of you forever.
I mean, Iâm getting olderâ¦â
âGrandpa,â Stella cut in.
âDonât blame yourself for this.
After the wedding, we parted ways.
Weâve never met face-to-face before.
And we have no romantic feelings for each other.
This is to be expected.
â
âSo nothing can be done about it?â Clint asked.
Stella replied firmly, âWeâre just not right for each other.
Maybe he wants to find someone he truly loves, and I canât always weigh him down with a loveless marriage.
