When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1971

Bella’s hands stopped moving.

She suddenly realized she was too anxious.

But she didn’t want Kristian to notice anything unusual, so she stood up, smiled, and said, “Indeed, my memory is getting worse recently.

But it’s okay.

I can discuss a date with Stella and take her back to Dorburn.

By then, we can also go through the property transfer procedures.

”

Kristian didn’t show any expression on his face.

But deep in his heart, he was already nervous.

“Why are you in such a hurry to transfer your property? You are still so young.

Enjoy life first.

There is no need to handle your property in advance.

” Kristian tried to persuade Bella.

“Although Stella is our daughter, she just came back to us recently.

We don’t know her that much yet.

Our relationship with her—”

But before he could finish his words, Bella interrupted him angrily, “What do you mean by that?”

Bella frowned, not giving him a chance to explain at all.

“Before, you suggested that I transfer all the assets to Elizabeth as soon as possible.

Why did you suddenly change your attitude when it came to Stella? Stella grew up without us by her side.

Shouldn’t we make it up to her?”

Kristian hastily explained, “No, no, no.

That’s not what I mean.

What I want to say is we didn’t raise Stella.

I’m just being cautious.

What if her attitude toward you changes after you give all your assets to her?”

His words only angered Bella.

“So, you’re saying that the one we raised is trustworthy? Yes, Elizabeth grew up by our side.

But what did she do? She tried to kill me.

Stella, on the contrary, had been worried about my health even before she found out about our relationship.

Isn’t that enough to prove that you are wrong?”

What Elizabeth did had always been a thorn in Bella’s heart.

Every time she thought of it, she felt sad.

It hurt her that the daughter she had trusted and doted on for so many years had a vicious heart.

This also made her feel that Stella’s kindness was rare.

“I’m not blind.

I can see who truly cares for me.

No matter what the reason is, I’m willing to give everything I have to Stella.

I don’t understand why you are trying to stop me.

”

Kristian could tell that Bella was really angry.

So, his attitude softened.

“Calm down… You’ve misunderstood me.

I’m just worried about you.

”

Bella pursed her lips.

Then, she said, “Don’t waste your time persuading me.

I have already made up my mind.

”

Kristian was furious because of her stubbornness.

But, of course, he didn’t dare to show it on his face.

Instead, he hugged her and said, “Okay.

I know what you are thinking.

It’s my fault.

I shouldn’t have been so suspicious.

Stella is indeed a good girl.

Besides, those assets are yours.

It’s all up to you.

”

Bella struggled to break free from his e

mbrace, but she failed.

Kristian compromised.

“Well, since you have already decided, make an appointment with Stella.

I’ll make arrangements for you when you go back.

”

Bella’s expression softened upon hearing this.

Although Kristian’s tone was very calm when he spoke, a hint of malice flashed across his eyes.

He thought maybe it was time to take some action.

As long as Bella and Stella were killed on their way to Dorburn, Bella’s property would naturally belong to him as her husband.

And if they died in Dorburn, Matthew would not be able to replace out anything.

In the Clark family home…

Stella and Matthew had been summoned for a family dinner, with Lindsay also present.

“Stella, Matthew, welcome back,” Lucia greeted them warmly, inviting them to sit at the dining table.

Soon, they were exchanging updates about their daily routines.
