When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1018

With that, she turned and made her way towards Matthew.

In her role as Matthew’s personal PR officer, Stella had become well-acquainted with the secrets of Seamarsh’s elite.

She wouldn’t have divulged such information if Briana hadn’t provoked her.

Stella approached Matthew with a smile, inquiring, “Have you finished your conversation with him?”

“Yes, he’s a friend of Grandpa’s.

It was just a casual chat,”

Matthew replied, taking her hand.

“I want to introduce you to some of my business partners.

”

“Okay,” Stella responded, obligingly following him.

Matthew introduced Stella to the presidents of several companies with whom he had business ties.

Stella greeted them cordially, engaging in light conversation about their respective businesses.

Her charm and intellect left a positive impression on everyone.

“Matthew, you’re fortunate to have such a beautiful and smart wife.

”

“No wonder Matthew has kept his marriage low-key.

With a wife like her, I wouldn’t want her in the public eye either.

”

“Perhaps our wives could spend more time with Stella.

”

Suggestions of future social interactions came up.

In the midst of these social exchanges, Stella saw an opportunity to promote her own business.

“I run a design studio.

If you’re looking to customize dresses for your wives, feel free to contact me.

”

After a bit more conversation, the group parted ways.

It was then that Lucia approached, dressed elegantly in a new gown and her grey hair styled into an up-do.

“Stella, take your seat with Matthew.

Waldo has an important announcement,” she said with a warm smile.

Stella, slightly puzzled, glanced at Matthew, who nodded in understanding.

“I know, Grandma,” he said.

At that moment, Waldo joined them, a serious expression on his face, but it softened into a kind smile upon seeing Stella.

“Let’s head to the stage first,” he said to Lucia, offering his arm to her as they walked together towards the stage.
