Chapter 601
When Love Comes Late
After that, Miley embraced Stella and fell back to sleep.
But Stella remained wide awake, her thoughts crystal clear.
She decided it was time to finalize her separation from Maverick.
The following day, Charlene and Jeremy were contacted by the butler of the Clark family, who requested their immediate return.
Anticipating that Waldo might have had a change of heart, they hastily drove back to the place.
Upon getting out of the car, Charlene and Jeremy entered the Living room, arms laden with gifts.
The living room was empty, but the sounds of chatter between Lucia and the servants emanated from the kitchen, perfuming the air with the aroma of scrumptious dishes.
Charlene grew increasingly certain that Waldo was not upset.
Charlene whispered to Jeremy joyfully, âSet down the gifts and go find your grandfather upstairs.
Make sure to behave.
â
Jeremy nodded, placed the gifts on the floor, and ascended the staircase.
Charlene quickly made her way to the kitchen.
Lucia was engrossed in her cooking.
Charlene approached her, offering a warm greeting.
âMom.
â
Without lifting her head, Lucia responded curtly and continued to season the beef.
Unperturbed, Charleneâs smile remained radiant.
She offered enthusiastically, âMom, would you like some help?â
âNo, thank you,â Lucia declined coldly.

Maintaining her composure, Charlene inquired cautiously, âMom, whatâs the occasion for hosting a family dinner tonight? Is there something special happening?â
âNo.
â Lucia removed her disposable gloves.
âItâs just a regular family meal.
â
She handed the seasoned beef to a nearby servant, avoiding eye contact with Charlene.
Hearing this, Charlene sighed in relief.
Noticing Lucia open the refrigerator, Charlene leaned in and asked, âNeed anything else? Let me help you.
â
âWie have servants for that,â Lucia retorted indifferently.
âYouâve been pampered since birth.
Go relax in the living room.
