Chapter 1121
When Love Comes Late
Matthew caressed her head gently and whispered, âJust sleep.
Iâll see who it is.
â
He reached for the phone, his face growing serious at the sight of the caller ID.
As the call connected, the callerâs words made Matthewâs frown deepen.
âI see,â he replied quietly and hung up.
He glanced at Stella, tucked her in, and got out of bed to dress.
His careful movements didnât stop the call from waking Stella, her drowsiness fading.
Sitting up, she asked, âWhatâs the rush?â
Buttoning his shirt cuffs, Matthew answered, âThey found Benny.
I have to head to the office.
â
He approached Stella, ki*sed her forehead, and murmured, âWe canât ignore Benny.
If we donât handle this now, it could lead to bigger trouble.
â
Stellaâs expression turned serious.
âItâs early.
Donât worry about this.
Get some more rest.
Later, the bodyguard will take you to the set,â Matthew reassured her.
Stella shook her head, casting off the blanket and rising to her feet.
âIâm done trying to sleep.
Thereâs a scene today, and I designed the costumes.
Iâve got to be there early to set things up.
â
Matthew was brief in response.

They swiftly finished packing.
As Matthew departed, Stella cautioned him to take care, and then she made her way to the set.
It was still early, so only a few crew members were there setting things up; most hadnât arrived yet.
Heading towards the costume room, Stella caught sight of Luka.
He was seated in the same place they first met, engrossed in the script.
Despite knowing Lukaâs personality, seeing him so peaceful again surprised Stella.
In his silence, Luka embodied calmness and grace, sitting there like a figure in a painting, reminiscent of Farris.
Remembering their initial unpleasant encounter, Stella didnât stop and was about to walk away.
But then, Luka suddenly looked up.
Stellaâs discomfort was clear as their eyes met.
She thought about leaving, but Luka stood up and approached her.
Stella felt obliged to say something.
âGood morningâ¦
