Chapter 37
When Love Comes Late
Stella smiled.
âSounds good.
â
After they drove in silence, Oliver snapped his fingers and asked, âThat reminds me, did your silly husband contact you after this big issue?â
Stella, who had been dealing with some work emails, froze at that question.
Her head remained lowered as she shook it.
âNo.
â
Many days had passed, but there was still no reply from Maverick.
It was as if he completely went off the radar.
Stella felt depressed whenever she remembered him.
Sensing the change in her mood, Oliver was so unhappy that he couldnât help complaining about Clintâs decision.
Stella had everything a man could ever want; she was beautiful, smart, and easygoing.
Why in Godâs name did Clint think it wise to make her marry Maverick of all people?
Even worse, she was now tied to a man she hadnât seen even once.
The more Oliver thought about it, the angrier he got.
However, he didnât want to hurt Stellaâs feelings more than it already was, so he comforted her softly, âForget it.
That man is so busy that he hasnât made out time to meet you.
Thereâs no way he could have seen the news online.
Donât worry about that, okay? There are a lot of people who care about you.
â
Stella forced a smile and said nothing.

They soon arrived home.
Juliette and Miley were already waiting.
The table was filled with several delicious dishes and they even opened a bottle of wine.
Stella was still not in a good mood.
She kept thinking about her nonchalant husband as she picked on her food.
She had a lot of wine to drink, so she soon got tipsy.
Leaning her head on Miley shoulder, she drawled, âWhy has Maverick not replied my text? Why did he stand me up twice without any explanation? What does he mean?
Could it be that he doesnât want to stay married to me anymore? If so, shouldnât he just tell me straight-up? I have sent him several messages, but heâs ignoring them.
Who does he think he is? Is he even half as busy as my boss, Matthew? I havenât even given Matthew this much attention.
It seems all Maverick does is work, work, and work! Since he is so busy, why did he get married in the first place? He should have remained single! Ugh! So annoying!â
Stellaâs tongue was on the loose now.
Equally pissed, Miley concurred, âYou are right, Ella.
Maverick is nothing! How dare he make you so sad? You know what? Forget about him.
There are many hot models in my agency.
Coupled with their dashing appearance, they are sweethearts.
Thereâs a long list for you to choose from.
â
Under the influence, Stella pointed and babbled, âOkay! You canât go back on your words.
I want a man with abs.
Maverick can go to hell.
