“No. I’ve lived here for a long time. I’m way too accustomed to the place. Besides, I don’t want to cause trouble for you.”
“Grandpa, you’re not going to cause trouble at all,” Stella said, taking a seat next to him.
“Oliver and I both work in Seamarsh. If you come with us, we’d be able to take care of you.”
Clint wasn’t persuaded.

“I’m fine. You don’t need to take care of me like a child. I’m still healthy. Just go back and come visit whenever you have a break from work.”
Stella paused for a moment in thought.
“Just come with us. You don’t need to be hospitalized right now, but you do need frequent checkups.
Seamarsh has much better-equipped hospitals. You’re better off there with us.”
Clint shook his head, patting Stella’s hand.
“My only wish now is to see you live a happy life. From yesterday’s accident, I found that Maverick is a good man worth trusting for life. Just live your Life to the fullest. I’m living mine.”
Stella frowned, not understanding why Maverick’s name was mentioned again.
Her marriage with Maverick was going to end.
Her lips parted as she was about to speak.

Oliver beat her to it.
“Grandpa, they’re going to get divorced. So don’t get all excited for nothing.”
Just because Maverick had saved Stella yesterday didn’t mean that Oliver would forget how terribly he treated her. He hoped that his grandpa would see the truth.
“What? Why?” Clint asked in utter disbelief. He turned to look at Stella. Seeing her acquiesce in it, he sighed heavily.
“No wonder after you returned to Seamarsh, I asked you about Maverick, but you were hesitating in speaking. So you lied to me that Maverick went abroad on a business trip, didn’t you?”
This time around, Stella wasn’t going to hide anything. She nodded slightly and lowered her head.
With a trace of helplessness, Clint asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about it? I only asked you to marry him because I thought he was a good man I can’t take care of you forever. I mean, I’m getting older…”
“Grandpa,” Stella cut in.
“Don’t blame yourself for this. After the wedding, we parted ways. We’ve never met face-to-face before. And we have no romantic feelings for each other. This is to be expected.”
“So nothing can be done about it?” Clint asked.
Stella replied firmly, “We’re just not right for each other. Maybe he wants to find someone he truly loves, and I can’t always weigh him down with a loveless marriage.”
