Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 261:

“Ali? He has a fiancée?” Grace was clearly very surprised. She looked like she had been dumbstruck. “It doesn’t matter. You young people think that as long as they aren’t married, you can still compete fairly.”

Stella’s attempt to explain was completely dismissed by her grandmother.

“No, Grandma. Rene is about to get married,” Stella insisted, feeling speechless. “His fiancée is very beautiful. He likes her a lot. Don’t think too much about it.”

“Hmph,” Grace said proudly, “It must be the order of parents, decided by a matchmaker. Rene won’t truly like her, and the two of them won’t be happy!”

Stella was left speechless again. To be honest, there were times when Stella thought her grandmother was right, but this wasn’t one of those times.

“Don’t overthink it, Grandma,” Stella said, trying to comfort her. “I don’t believe marriage should be forced, and people will be with whoever they are meant to be with. You see, I’m very happy to have Adrian and you now. Don’t worry.”

“Oh, my good child,” Grace said softly, touching Stella’s head with a tender smile. “I’m just afraid no one will take care of you in the future. What if you suffer? My health isn’t great now, so I can’t always be there for you.”

“Grandma, it’s okay. I’ve been fine for so many years, haven’t I?” Stella held back her emotions, trying to comfort her grandmother.

Grace was the person who had loved Stella the most, second only to her mother. Even though Grace had spent years in France and didn’t visit often, her love for Stella was always unwavering and gave her warmth.

“Are you still at odds with your father? Haven’t you two reconciled yet?” Grace asked, her face filled with concern as she thought of Stella’s strained relationship with the Richard family.

“It’s okay, it is what it is. Their family is very happy now,” Stella said, not wanting to dive into the details of her strained connection with them.
