Ch.994 Chapter 997 - When Love Comes Late

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.

âStella, Matthew! Why are you both just standing there? Youâre not glad to see me?â Lucia smiled lightly.

She didnât blame them.

Stella took a seat beside Lucia and smiled warmly.

âGrandma, what brings you here today?â

Lucia narrowed her eyes at Stella and Matthew.

âNeither 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 didnât know about the elevator accident.

âYouâre welcome anytime, Grandma.

Stella gave her a warm smile and leaned into her.

Matthew watched them.

âIâm sorry, Grandma.

Iâve been extremely busy recently.

Iâll bring Stella to visit you once Iâm free.

Lucia didnât plan on staying upset with them for long.

With a smile on her face, she gently patted Stellaâs hand.

She looked at them with pity.

âYouâve been through so much.

I can visit you whenever I want to, but your grandfatherâ¦ Just make sure to call him when youâre free.

So he doesnât worry much.

âALL right.

â Stella nodded.

âGrandma, are you hungry? If you havenât had dinner yet, you can stay and have dinner with us.

Iâll cook.

Lucia was overjoyed.

âOf course, I wouldnât 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.

âDonât even think about coming in there to disturb us.
