Chapter 1066
When Love Comes Late
Matthew looked at the hair in Stellaâs hand, his brow furrowing in thought, but he remained quiet.
âI managed to get this hair from Benny.
I noticed he has features similar to yours, so I seized the opportunity to grab some strands,â
Stella explained.
She then rummaged through the car for a plastic bag and carefully stored the hair.
âWe should get a DNA test done when we have a chance.
Thereâs no doubt Benny is targeting us for a reason.
â
Matthew, his lips tight, was filled with mixed emotions as he held Stella close.
âYouâve endured so much lately.
â
Stellaâs eyes flickered, a slight smile on her lips.
âIâm okay.
Letâs head home.
â
Matthew let her go, his eyes lingering on her for a moment, but he said nothing more.
The drive was quiet.
Stella noticed Matthewâs deep in thought and after a brief hesitation, asked, âIs there something on your mind?â
Matthew glanced at her as the car stopped at a traffic light.
He finally said, âYouâre right to be suspicious.
Benny might be a child my father had with another woman.
â
Stellaâs eyes widened, understanding Bennyâs possible motives against Prosperity Group.
Concerned, she asked, âWhatâs your plan now?â
Matthew took her hand, smiling reassuringly.
âIâve already started looking into him.
But you should be extra careful.
Iâll arrange a bodyguard for you.
â
Stella nodded, gripping his hand firmly.
âIâll take care of myself.
You focus on what you need to do.
â
At that moment, Matthewâs phone rang.
It was Waldo.
âCome back immediately,â he urged, sounding anxious.
A sense of urgency took hold of Matthew, worrying that Benny might now be targeting his grandparents.
He quickly responded and set the car in motion.
âWho was that on the phone? Whatâs happening?â Stellaâs concern grew as she saw the seriousness on Matthewâs face.
He turned the car, heading in a new direction.
