When Love Comes Late
Chapter 997

Matthew stood up and took her hand as they headed out.

They returned to Prosper Bay.

As they entered, they spotted Lucia sitting quietly in the living room.

Stella glanced at Matthew, feeling a tad bit uncertain and worried.

Had the Clark family heard about the accident already?

Matthew only gave her a reassuring look to ease her nerves.

“Stella, Matthew! Why are you both just standing there? You’re not glad to see me?” Lucia smiled lightly.

She didn’t blame them.

Stella took a seat beside Lucia and smiled warmly.

“Grandma, what brings you here today?”

Lucia narrowed her eyes at Stella and Matthew.

“Neither of you called or visited.

I missed your company so I came over.

”

A slight touch of reproach could be detected from her tone.

Stella felt relieved once she realized that Lucia didn’t know about the elevator accident.

“You’re welcome anytime, Grandma.

Stella gave her a warm smile and leaned into her.

Matthew watched them.

“I’m sorry, Grandma.

I’ve been extremely busy recently.

I’ll bring Stella to visit you once I’m free.

”

Lucia didn’t plan on staying upset with them for long.

With a smile on her face, she gently patted Stella’s hand.

She looked at them with pity.

“You’ve been through so much.

I can visit you whenever I want to, but your grandfather… Just make sure to call him when you’re free.

So he doesn’t worry much.

”

“ALL right.

” Stella nodded.

“Grandma, are you hungry? If you haven’t had dinner yet, you can stay and have dinner with us.

I’ll cook.

”

Lucia was overjoyed.

“Of course, I wouldn’t want to let you down.

I love your cooking.

”

Lucia stood up and led Stella to the kitchen.

She turned to Matthew and gave him a dirty look.

“Don’t even think about coming in there to disturb us.

”
