Chapter 1089
When Love Comes Late
Following him could lead to crucial intel, maybe even the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Emerging from the elevator, Matthew found Fernando waiting alone in the parking lot.
âSpragueâs gone.
Iâve alerted security to slow him down,â Fernando reported.
Matthew nodded, fingers clenching on his car keys.
âHead back to the office and keep an eye on the online situation.
Iâll take things from here.
â
âBe careful.
â Fernando advised.
Matthew slid behind the wheel and sped out of the parking lot.
He hadnât even cleared the exit when his eyes caught Spragueâs vehicle.
Fixing his gaze on the taillights, he felt his pulse quicken inexplicably.

He had a strong premonition that he was about to meet Benny.
Spragueâs car gradually distanced itself from the city, delving deeper into the outskirts.
Matthew tailed closely behind.
He had to meet that person today, no matter the cost.
At that moment, his phone rang-it was Stella.
Spotting her call, Matthew cleared his throat and answered, âHoney, howâs my mom?â
âShe is currently sleeping.
â Stellaâs voice was subdued as she cast a glance at the peacefully sleeping Amara before stepping out of the room.
Gently closing the door behind her, she whispered, âIs everything settled at the company? When will you be back home?â
âI might be a bit late.
Iâve got some matters to attend to, but Iâll be back as soon as I can.
â
Matthew feigned composure and kept his tone Light to reassure Stella.
âOkay,â Stella murmured in response.
âBe careful.
â
After hanging up, she stared into the night, a subtle unease settling in her heart.
Initially intending to return to the room, she altered her course after a step.
Sleeping without Matthew at home was out of the question.
She opted to wait for him in the living room.
Tonight promised to be a sleepless one.
