Chapter 2128

At the dining table, Lucia placed a generous helping of food onto Stella’s plate and asked, “So, how long is Matthew going to be away this time?”

Stella answered with honesty, “He was planning to be back in three days, but things got a bit complicated.

Lucia nodded.

“If you’d rather not stay alone, you know you’re welcome to stay here for a few days,” she said, her voice warm and inviting.

Stella shook her head with a gentle smile.

“Thanks, but Matthew checks in every day, and I’ve got my hands full with setting up the new brand.

Lucia sighed, her concern evident.

“Just promise me you’ll drop by for meals more often, okay? I worry you might get so busy that you forget to take care of yourself.

A pleasant warmth filled Stella’s heart, and she gave a soft smile.
