Chapter 354
When Love Comes Late
People tend to believe only what aligns with their preconceptions.
As for the truth, who cares?â
Stella felt sorry for her.
She held Flossieâs hand and spoke with determination.
âDonât worry.
Since Iâve chosen you as my model, Iâll help you clear your name and make you famous all across Seamarsh.
â
Flossie was greatly encouraged by Stellaâs words.
She held Stellaâs hand firmly and nodded, âI wonât betray your trust.
Iâll do everything I can to help you showcase your designs.
â
After meeting Flossie, Stella found herself inspired and wasted no time in returning home to modify her sketch.
She worked tirelessly until the early hours of the morning when the draft was finally completed.
The next morning, Stella was awakened by her phoneâs ringtone.
In a daze, she saw Clintâs name on the caller ID.
âGrandpa?â
âStella, did I wake you up?â Clint asked in a soft tone.
Stella, now more alert, replied, âNo, not at all.
Whatâs up?â
âI came across news of a popular design exhibition on the internet, and itâs taking place in Seamarsh.
Iâve purchased tickets for you.
You can go with Maverick.
â Clintâs cheerful voice came through the phone.
When Stella heard the name, her good mood was ruined.
âI see,â Stella responded in a perfunctory tone.

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed in a daze.
Since she had returned from Bysea, Clint had been procrastinating on giving her the marriage certificate.
Stella understood his intentions and didnât press him about it.
However, she hadnât anticipated that Clint would take action to bring her and Maverick together.
Despite the confusion, Stella couldnât help but chuckle.
