Matthew watched them walk away. He realized that Elizabeth seemed to have a great influence on Bella.
This would make any future meeting problematic. It seemed he had to consider another method of approach.
After they had gone some distance from the restaurant, Bella turned to Elizabeth with a glare and said, “Are you still obsessed with him?”
“Mom…” Elizabeth said, trying to explain. However, she was interrupted by Bella.
Bella refused to let her get a word in as she said, “If you continue this way, I’ll send you away from Seamarsh.”
Elizabeth realized that her mom was really angry.
Not wanting to provoke her any further, she said, “I’m sorry, Mom.
I’ll do better.”
Bella’s expression softened at that. “I don’t object to you being in Seamarsh. I even arranged for you to star in a film by Luther.
However, I expect you to behave in a certain way. There are plenty of good men out there. There are many eligible bachelors, but Matthew is out of the question.”
Stella knocked on Miley’s door, which opened almost immediately.
Seeing that Miley was dressed up, she asked, “Are you heading out?”

Miley nodded. Before she could speak, Roy came up from behind her.
He politely greeted Stella.
Stella returned his greeting before turning to Miley and asking, “Are you and Roy going out on a date?”
An unusual expression came over Miley’s face as Roy suddenly held her hand.

There was a pause, after which Miley forced a smile and said, “Would you like to join us, Stella?”
Oblivious to Miley’s discomfort, Stella waved off her invitation, saying, “There’s no need for that. You two need to enjoy some quality time together. I’m here to deliver your wedding invitation.”
She handed the invitation to Miley and said, smiling, “I formally invite my best friend to my wedding.”
Miley opened the invitation as tears welled up in her eyes. “I’ve waited for this day for a long time. Finally, it’s here.”
Stella reached out and wiped her tears. “Don’t cry, sweetheart.
You’ve found your happiness, haven’t you?”
Miley, however, burst out crying as soon as Stella said this.
“What’s wrong?” Stella was at a loss and didn’t know what she had said wrong.
