Chapter 541
When Love Comes Late
Stella hesitated for a moment before offering an ambiguous response.
âNot bad.
â
âIT understand that you two got married rather fast, but after spending some time together, you must have a sense of what kind of person Maverick is,â Clint continued.
âIf you both believe itâs a good match, you should consider having a child.
â
A hint of embarrassment tinted Stellaâs cheeks.
The issues between her and Maverick remained unresolved.
She lowered her gaze and avoided Clintâs eyes as she explained, âItâs not the right time yet.
I have just gotten promoted into a better position, and I want to focus on my career for another couple of years.

âIs your boss treating you well?â
At the mention of her boss, Matthewâs face popped into Stellaâs mind.
She managed a faint smile and responded, âMy boss is very kind to me.
He transferred me from the public relations department to the design department.
I truly enjoy my work now, and heâs always there to help with any work-related challengesâ¦â

âSince our previous investment, weâve been gradually harvesting pearls over the past few months.
We should start seeing results soon.
â
Matthew responded nonchalantly with a simple âOkay.
â
Last time, he had invested a substantial amount in an island known for its pearl abundance, a decision influenced by Stellaâs casual remark.
This time, Matthewâs visit to Bysea was officially labeled an inspection, and he wanted to bring Stella along to witness the progress.
As Matthew opened his eyes and gazed upon the islandâs scenery, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.
âFernando.
â Matthew issued an instruction to his assistant.
After hearing this, Fernando nodded.
âIâll go do it right away.
â
Stella retreated to her room for a siesta.
Worried about Clint and exhausted from the journey, she had been on edge.
