Stella hesitated for a moment before offering an ambiguous response.
“Not bad.”
“IT understand that you two got married rather fast, but after spending some time together, you must have a sense of what kind of person Maverick is,” Clint continued.
“If you both believe it’s a good match, you should consider having a child.”
A hint of embarrassment tinted Stella’s cheeks.
The issues between her and Maverick remained unresolved.
She lowered her gaze and avoided Clint’s eyes as she explained, “It’s not the right time yet. I have just gotten promoted into a better position, and I want to focus on my career for another couple of years.”
“Is your boss treating you well?”
At the mention of her boss, Matthew’s face popped into Stella’s mind.

She managed a faint smile and responded, “My boss is very kind to me.
He transferred me from the public relations department to the design department. I truly enjoy my work now, and he’s always there to help with any work-related challenges…”
Unbeknownst to Stella, she divulged more information than she intended when she mentioned Matthew.
At the same time, Fernando accompanied Matthew as they headed to Bysea, their destination being Pearl Island.
On the yacht, Fernando observed Matthew, who had closed his eyes to rest.

“Since our previous investment, we’ve been gradually harvesting pearls over the past few months. We should start seeing results soon.”
Matthew responded nonchalantly with a simple “Okay.”
Last time, he had invested a substantial amount in an island known for its pearl abundance, a decision influenced by Stella’s casual remark.
This time, Matthew’s visit to Bysea was officially labeled an inspection, and he wanted to bring Stella along to witness the progress.
As Matthew opened his eyes and gazed upon the island’s scenery, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Fernando.” Matthew issued an instruction to his assistant.
After hearing this, Fernando nodded.
“I’ll go do it right away.”
Stella retreated to her room for a siesta.
Worried about Clint and exhausted from the journey, she had been on edge.
