“Ella, do you really have to move out? Don’t you like it here?”
Oliver held one of her unzipped suitcases in protest.
Stella smiled.
“I love it here, but I’m a third wheel. You and Juliette need your space. I don’t want to disturb you.”
“What makes you think Miley’s apartment will be better? I can buy you the apartment next door so we can live as neighbors. What do you say?” Oliver continued to apply pressure.
“No.” Stella refused without thinking.
“Miley’s place is comfortable enough as far as I know. Besides, we both have something important to work on. I’m an adult, so I can take care of myself. Don’t worry.
Once I clear off my schedule, let’s go see Grandpa together, okay?”
As she spoke, she pushed his hand away from the suitcase, put the rest of her things, and zipped it up.
Oliver picked up the suitcase for her and said with a slight frown, “Concerning Maverick, I have helped you stall Grandpa. Don’t worry about what to tell him now. Just let fate take its course.”
At the mention of her husband’s name, Stella was lost in thought for a while.
She shook her head and chuckled.
“I had no intention to worry about it. I came back to Seamarsh to make our marriage work. But since he won’t give me the chance, I’ll live my life like he doesn’t exist.
Using force is not the way to go.”

Stella looked so carefree. However, she knew that she would have to explain things to her grandfather when the time came.
It sure wasn’t going to be easy for the old man to accept the news.
Stella sighed at the thought.
If she knew that this marriage was going to turn out this way, she wouldn’t have agreed to it in the first place no matter how her grandfather had persuaded her.
Her agreement landed her into this big mess she was in.
The following day, Miley came to pick Stella up with her car.
Oliver and Juliette went out to see her off.
“Ella, remember that this will always be your home. You are free to return at any time. I’ll welcome you with open arms,” said Juliette in a sad tone, holding Stella’s hand after hugging her tightly.
Oliver chimed in, “If the going ever gets tough for you, do not hesitate to give me a call. I’ll show up wherever you are to pick you up right away.”
Stella was touched by their kind words.
