Chapter 959
When Love Comes Late
âHey there, Stella.
â
Stella gave a small nod and shyly took a seat.
Neville chimed in, âSo, Stella, youâve gone public with it now, huh?â
Miley gave Stella a playful wink and called out to her.
Stella glared at her and said, âStop it.
â
Miley just grinned and stayed silent.
The mood in the room was light and cheerful.
Matthew turned to Stella with a serious look.
âIâve proposed to Stella.
Weâre planning a wedding.
â
âAbout time for a wedding, right?â Neville exclaimed with excitement.
âI know a few wedding planners.
We are going to make your wedding the talk of town!â
Cordell said calmly.
âIf you need a hand with anything, just ask.
â
âIâll be your bridesmaid, then!â
Everyone seemed joyful, but someone in the next room, separated only by a screen, was far from happy.
Mina, her cap pulled down low, scowled, her eyes burning red as she stared into the next room, clenching her teeth.
âStella, why do you get to be happy so easily?â she grumbled to herself.
After the meal, Miley urged the men, âOff to work with you guys.
Stella and I have some shopping to catch up on.
â
Matthew leaned in and whispered to Stella, âWant me to come along?â
Stellaâs cheeks flushed, and she bit her lip, trying to hide her shyness.
She gently pushed Matthew away.
âYouâve got work.
Itâs been ages since Miley and I went shopping.
â
Matthew looked at her, Lingering for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
