Matthew finally revealed the conversation to Lucia, who read it with growing concern.
“What will you do now? Meet Stella?” she asked.
Matthew contemplated the situation and decided to ask for Lucia’s help. He couldn’t bring himself to meet Stella face to face at this moment.
“Grandma, can you do me a favor?”
“Just tell me what you need.” Lucia readily agreed.
Stella sighed with relief after sending her message.
The weight that had been bearing down on her for so long was finally being addressed.
She had expected the divorce to be a challenging and arduous process, but speaking the words aloud provided her with a sense of Liberation.
Perhaps this marriage was never meant to succeed.
While she acknowledged that Maverick had changed significantly, their relationship remained confined to their mobile phones.
Matthew was the one to stand by her side in times of trouble, and his constant presence was more comforting than his occasional coldness.
Stella closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.
She had initiated the divorce not because she wanted to be with Matthew but to avoid being labeled a cheater.

Stella glanced at her phone, expecting a reply from Maverick.
However, his response never came.
Stella wondered if her message had been too direct, causing Maverick to misunderstand her intentions.
But they had no emotional attachment to each other, and divorce should have been a relief for both parties.
Despite pondering the matter for hours, Stella couldn’t fathom Maverick’s thoughts.
As she prepared to drift off to sleep that night, she still hadn’t received a reply. Instead, her phone rang, displaying Lucia’s name on the screen.
Stella hesitated momentarily, thinking that Lucia was ready to persuade her for Maverick.
However, she couldn’t bear the thought of causing an elderly woman like Lucia undue worry.
