Chapter 91
When Love Comes Late
âElla, do you really have to move out? Donât you like it here?â
Oliver held one of her unzipped suitcases in protest.
Stella smiled.
âI love it here, but Iâm a third wheel.
You and Juliette need your space.
I donât want to disturb you.
â
âWhat makes you think Mileyâs apartment will be better? I can buy you the apartment next door so we can live as neighbors.
What do you say?â Oliver continued to apply pressure.
âNo.
â Stella refused without thinking.
âMileyâs place is comfortable enough as far as I know.
Besides, we both have something important to work on.
Iâm an adult, so I can take care of myself.
Donât worry.
Once I clear off my schedule, letâs go see Grandpa together, okay?â
As she spoke, she pushed his hand away from the suitcase, put the rest of her things, and zipped it up.
Oliver picked up the suitcase for her and said with a slight frown, âConcerning Maverick, I have helped you stall Grandpa.
Donât worry about what to tell him now.
Just let fate take its course.
â
At the mention of her husbandâs name, Stella was lost in thought for a while.
She shook her head and chuckled.
âI had no intention to worry about it.
I came back to Seamarsh to make our marriage work.
But since he wonât give me the chance, Iâll live my life like he doesnât exist.
Using force is not the way to go.

Stella looked so carefree.
However, she knew that she would have to explain things to her grandfather when the time came.
It sure wasnât going to be easy for the old man to accept the news.
Stella sighed at the thought.
If she knew that this marriage was going to turn out this way, she wouldnât have agreed to it in the first place no matter how her grandfather had persuaded her.
Her agreement landed her into this big mess she was in.
The following day, Miley came to pick Stella up with her car.
Oliver and Juliette went out to see her off.
âElla, remember that this will always be your home.
You are free to return at any time.
Iâll welcome you with open arms,â said Juliette in a sad tone, holding Stellaâs hand after hugging her tightly.
Oliver chimed in, âIf the going ever gets tough for you, do not hesitate to give me a call.
Iâll show up wherever you are to pick you up right away.
â
Stella was touched by their kind words.
