Chapter 103
When Love Comes Late
âWould you like me to prepare a hot bath for you?â she asked, concern filling her tone as she glanced at the droplets of water on his hair.
âJust leave me alone.
â Taking a look at Stella, he ordered, âBut for her, bring a bath towel and an umbrella.
â
After giving out his orders, he went upstairs.
Erin rushed off, leaving Stella all alone in the living room.
She looked around the room, curiosity growing within her.
There was no hint of life, not even a single photo in sight.
The decoration was simple and cold.
Stella was slightly disappointed.
She had hoped to see photos of Mrs.
Clark.
âExcuse me, miss, please use this to dry your hair first.
â Erin stood in front of her with a towel in hand, interrupting Stellaâs thoughts.
âThank you.
â
âPardon me, but who are you to Mr.
Clark?â Erin asked, not being able resist the question that lingered on her mind.
Stellaâs movements came to a halt.
âMy apologies.
Itâs just Mr.
Clark has never brought any woman home before.
I am just curious,â Erin quickly explained trying not to sound rude.
An awkward smile crept its way to Stellaâs face as she replied, âIâm an employee of Prosperity Group.
I got lost, and fortunately, I met Mr.
Clark.
He asked me to come over and take an umbrella back.
Maybe Mrs.
Clark is extremely strict, so Mr.
Clark isnât allowed to bring any women home.
â
Erin shook her head as she muttered, âIâve worked here for so many years, and Iâve never seen Mrs.
Clark.

âHuh?â Thinking she had misheard, Stella wanted to ask again.
A deep and surly voice was heard from the stairs.
âErin.
â
Stellaâs and Erinâs heads jerked his way immediately.
âThat is enough,â Matthew said, as he stared at Erin with a cold expression.
Erin was quaking in her boots now.
Her face was red with horror.
Matthew turned to look at Stella and said coldly, âA security guard will take you home soon.
Wait in the living room.
â
Stella nodded obediently.
Matthew cast a glance at them and went upstairs.
It wasnât until he went out of sight that Stella finally resumed breathing.
She took deep breaths while patting her chest.
