Chapter 15
This marriage didn’t seem like it was going to work out.
Maybe it was time to get divorced.
Later that night, Stella returned to her current residence and took a long shower.
She then gave her grandfather a video call.
They chatted about random things before Clint Anderson changed the topic.
Looking at her with sharp eyes, he asked euphemistically, “Ella, be honest with me.
Are you in love with someone else?”
Before he got on the video call, Lucia had called to tell him why Stella got stood up today.
He didn’t believe it.
However, he thought it wise to hear from Stella first.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Stella blushed.
“You and I know that I work round the clock.
What time do I have to fall for someone else?”
Reminded of what Maverick put her through today, she complained to Clint.
“Grandpa, I’ll be very honest with you.
I don’t like the way Maverick treated me today.
How busy was he that he couldn’t spare time to see his wife who just got back?”
Clint frowned, feeling confused and relieved at the same time.
This was an unpleasant situation.
However, he thought that since there wasn’t another man in the picture, his granddaughter and her husband could still work things out.
Clint comforted, “I advise that you cut him some slack.
As a businessman, he must have his hands full now.
Trust me.
You two will meet soon.
Take things slow.
A marriage without understanding from both parties is bound to fail.
For now, you should concentrate on meeting him and growing a bond.
”
Stella pouted and reluctantly accepted her grandfather’s advice.
“I have heard you, Grandpa.
Go to bed.
Good night.

After getting off the phone, Stella thought for a while.
Then, she sent yet another message to Maverick.
“I understand that you must be very busy.
Call me when you can spare some time.
We need to meet, at least.
”
The following morning, Stella stood in front of the CEO’s office with dark circles around her eyes.
Last night, she stayed up with her phone in her hand as she waited for Maverick’s response to her text.
Sadly, she got none.
All efforts to sleep failed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
To while away time, she decided to work on putting together a list of pianists who could replace Henry.
The anniversary dinner was just around the corner.
Since this was her first task, she didn’t want anything to go wrong.
Now, Stella patted her face to get rid of her dizziness.
She then knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
Matthew’s deep and powerful voice came from inside.
