Chapter 1233
When Love Comes Late
Matthew gave her a serious look.
âItâs simple.
Prosperity Group doesnât hire domestic abusers.
â
âDomestic abusers?â Stellaâs voice got louder.
âAre you telling me? Bestyâs husband is violent at home?â
She couldnât believe it.
Besty and her husband seemed so loving today, and Felipe looked like a good man.
Was he really an abuser?
Matthew nodded and said, âWe do thorough checks.
Turns out, Besty called the cops three times about Felipe hurting her, but it led nowhere.
â
Stella felt a cold shiver.
She couldnât believe Felipe was like that.
Remembering how calm Besty had been earlier, she worried more for her friend.
âWhat should I do then?â she asked Matthew.
Matthew shook his head.
âYou canât help someone who doesnât want to be helped.
â
Stella sighed, understanding what he meant.
If Besty wouldnât stand up for herself, she would always be under Felipeâs thumb.
Nobody could change that.
But as Bestyâs friend, the idea of doing nothing hurt Stella deeply.
Seeing what she was thinking, Matthew couldnât stop her.
He warned her, âYou can try to help her, but be really careful for your own safety.
â
At Prosper Bay, Stella, fresh from her bath, found Matthew in bed watching the news.
She slipped under the covers and cuddled up to him.
Matthew put away the tablet, covered them both, and gently patted her back.
Snuggled in his arms, Stella closed her eyes.
Matthew looked down at her, a small smile on his face, and softly ki*sed her forehead.

Matthew was about to stand when Stellaâs eyes fluttered open and a mischievous grin widened her lips.
She wrapped her arms around him, nuzzled against him, and whispered to him, âI want you today.
â
Her lips moved from his neck to his lips.
Unable to resist her teasing, Matthewâs embrace tightened, and his ki*ses deepened.
Their bedroom light was still on, illuminating the room.
Their breaths both grew labored, and the room seemed to grow hotter.
Stellaâs hands were on his back, her fingernails pressing against his skin.
Matthewâs hands moved to her breast, and he skillfully unhooked her bra.
His touch on her breast drew an involuntary moan from Stella.
