Clint nodded in response.
He looked back at the vehicle expectantly. He frowned as he asked, “Maverick didn’t come with you?”
Since Maverick was her husband, it was expected that he should attend Oliver’s wedding as well.
“I told him, but he was already on a business trip abroad, and he wouldn’t have been able to come,” Stella said, forcing a smile.
She wanted to tell him that she and Maverick were going to get divorced after Oliver’s wedding.
Clint looked disappointed and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Stella.
“Well, I’m going to go unpack my things. I haven’t been back in a while and my room needs cleaning.”

Stella took his hand in hers and walked inside the house.
Oliver and Juliette were busy chatting with some relatives. They looked so happy.
Stella lowered her eyes, feeling a bit sad.
Compared with Oliver’s happy marriage, she had a failed one.
She didn’t even know anything about her husband, let alone be happy in the marriage.
Clint squinted his eyes, as he noticed the disappointed expression on her face.
Was it true? Was Maverick really too busy to attend?
Clint followed Stella into her room.

After he closed the door, he turned to her and asked seriously, “I want the truth, Stella. What’s going on between you and Maverick?”
Stella forced a fake smile.
“Nothing, Grandpa. We’re okay…”
Clint took notice of her unnatural expression.
There was a hint of anger in his voice.
“In the past, you complained to me that Maverick was busy, but you never mentioned his name again later. Does Maverick ignore you because you don’t have family to support you in Seamarsh? Or is it be because you.
Clint couldn’t bring himself to finish his sentence, but Stella knew he was referring to her being an orphan.
She felt a tinge of bitterness in her stomach.
Clint was the one who cared for her the most.
