When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 2067
Bennett entered the elevator with the young man, who asked curiously, “Who’s that woman?”
Instead of answering his question, Bennett asked back, “Do you also feel she looks like my uncle?”
The young man’s name was Sanford Quimby, a student funded by his uncle.
Sanford acquiesced to Bennett’s question.
Bennett sighed regretfully, “I feel the same.
But sadly, she’s not my uncle’s daughter.
Her name is Stella, and she’s also a designer Like her mother.
Her husband is the richest man in Seamarsh.
”
The richest man in Seamarsh.
Sanford was a little surprised to hear this.
But he didn’t say anything.
Bennett continued, “I asked you to come back this time not only because I hope you can help me with the new project but also to find my uncle’s daughter.
”
He heaved a deep sigh.
“I found a photo of my uncle’s family, but it was accidentally damaged.
Now we can only rely on the repaired version.
”
Bennett handed the photo to Sanford.
“You have spent time with my uncle more than I did, so you must have heard something.
Maybe you have some clues.
”
Sanford took the photo and looked at it for a while.
“Okay.
I’ll try my best.
”
His mind was filled with Stella’s images.
After their dinner, Matthew arrived to pick up Stella, which caught Miley’s attention.
She couldn’t resist teasing him.
“Mr.
Clark, are you so concerned someone might whisk Stella away that you’ve come to pick her up in person? How clingy!”
Stella, slightly abashed by Miley’s remark, quickly spotted a chance for a lighthearted comeback.
With a sly smile, she gestured behind Miley and quipped, “Look behind you.
”
Miley turned around and her expression changed as she noticed Neville standing there.
Seizing the moment, Stella mirrored Miley’s earlier tease.
“Mr.
Pierce, are you so concerned someone might whisk Miley away that you’ve come to pick her up in person? How clingy!”
Caught slightly off balance and feeling a blush creep up her cheeks, Miley retorted half in jest, half in mock annoyance, “You ingrate, I’m here purely for your company.
”
Noticing Miley’s reddened face, Stella softened, appreciating the humor of the situation.
She expressed her gratitude.
“Thanks for today.
I’ll let you and Neville enjoy your evening.
”
Miley playfully rolled her eyes at Stella.
As Neville approached, Miley turned and linked her arm through his.
He greeted Stella with a nod, and then leaned closer to Miley, his voice soft.
“Shall we head home?”
Miley agreed with a nod and turned to Stella.
“We’re heading out.
Take care on your way back.
”
Stella responded with a warm smile, “Thanks, you too.
” After bidding farewell to Miley, she joined Matthew as they walked toward their car.
At the same time, Bennett and Sanford exited the restaurant and noticed Stella and Matthew getting into their vehicle.
