Ch.978 Chapter 981 - When Love Comes Late

âItâs all set.

Fairwaâs ready to shine.

How about we start our honeymoon trip there?â he asked, holding her close.

Stella didnât hesitate.

âSure.

Glancing at her watch, she realized it was nearly time for dinner.

âIâll cook,â she said, her voice sounding weary and a bit hoarse from crying.

Matthew sensed her sadness, especially after Farrisâ funeral.

He suggested, âHow about dinner out? Fernandoâs already reserved us a table.

Stella, a bit lost in thought, asked, âAre you driving?â

Matthew, surprised by her question, chuckled.

âYeah, of course.

Stella, her emotions bubbling up, simply nodded.

Understanding she was probably still affected by the funeral, Matthew gently ruffled her hair and suggested they get ready.

After freshening up, they were about to leave when suddenly, Miley appeared at their doorstep.

Startled, Stella noticed Mileyâs troubled look and asked, âMiley, whatâs wrong? You donât look too good.

Miley, sidestepping the question, asked, âHeading out?â

âYeah, dinner with Matthew.

Have you eaten?â

Miley grabbed Stellaâs hand and said, âIâll join you.

Even though Miley kept quiet, her odd actions made it clear to Stella that she was upset and troubled about something.

Stella decided to see what Matthew thought.

Matthew nodded in agreement, hoping to Lighten Stellaâs spirits.

âSure, letâs all go.

Matthew was at the wheel, driving, while Stella and Miley sat together in the back.

Despite Stellaâs attempts to engage Miley in conversation, Miley remained sullen, offering only forced smiles in response.
