Chapter 1069
When Love Comes Late
âIf this situation with her escalates, it could embarrass the Clark family.
â
Lucia stepped forward and placed a comforting hand on Matthewâs.
âYour grandfather is right to be concerned.
Itâs important to talk to your mother.
Remember, Amara is not just your mother; sheâs also connected to the Clark family.
â
She sighed after expressing her thoughts.
âAlright.
Iâll take care of it,â Matthew replied, his brow furrowed with concern.
If Amara meeting the unknown man was no coincidence, Benny might have something to do with it.
Matthew realized the urgency of confronting Benny to prevent any further complications.
He had to find him and talk to him face to face.
With determination evident on his face, Matthew clenched his fists.
Then he looked at Waldo with a grave expression.
âGrandpa, I believe Iâve narrowed down the suspect.
The culprit could be a descendant of the Clark family.
â
âyhat?â Lucia gasped in disbelief, her voice echoing her surprise.
Waldo, although visibly taken aback, managed to maintain his composure.
Matthew gave a slight nod, reinforcing his point.
âIâm on it, and Iâll track him down soon.
Please be mentally prepared.
â
The repetitive banging on Amaraâs door at her residence in Fairwa jolted her from her quiet evening.
âAmara, open the doorâ¦â came the slurred, insistent voice of Wilbert Clifford, evidently drunk as he leaned heavily against her door.
âOpen the door!â
Upon opening the door, Amara was immediately hit by the pungent smell of alcohol.
Concern etched her face as she saw Wilbertâs state.
âWhy did you drink so much?â She guided him inside, settled him on the sofa and fetched a glass of water, hoping it might help.
Wilbert, however, pushed the water away dismissively.
âThe project negotiation failed again tonight.
Iâve been drinking with those people all night, and still, nothingâs settled.
â
Amara didnât know much about Wilbertâs business affairs.
âYou know, drinking too much isnât good for your health.
You should try to cut back.
â
Wilbert didnât respond to her advice.
Instead, he closed the distance between them on the sofa.
