Ch.1248 Chapter 1252 - When Love Comes Late

Disgust wrinkled Elizabethâs brow as she pocketed the card, stood up, and left.

She decided to hold on to the loserâs information for the time being, biding her time to use it when the opportunity arose.

After finishing work on the shooting site, Stella prepared to head home.

As she stepped out and attempted to hail a taxi, a car pulled up in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing Lukaâs handsome face.

Looking at Stella, he said, âHop in.

Iâll give you a ride home.

Stella quickly waved her hand.

âNo, thanks.

I can grab a taxi.

âGetting a taxi here is a hassle.

â Luka didnât allow her to refuse.

âAre you too scared to get in my car?â

Caught off guard, Stella felt embarrassed and unsure how to respond.

Luka didnât let her dwell on the embarrassment.

âJust get in.

I want to express my gratitude for your help today.

Donât overthink it.

If you donât get in, Iâll get out and help you into the car.

Aware that he was a man of his word, Stella hesitated no further and got into the car.

âThank you.

â She expressed her gratitude, securing her seat belt.

Luka raised an eyebrow, smiling, and started driving after she fastened her seat belt.

In the car, he noticed Stellaâs nervous expression from the corner of his eye and couldnât help but chuckle.

âDonât stress.

Although I have feelings for you, I have my principles.

Unless youâre mistreated or break up with Matthew, I wonât cross any lines.

Stella didnât anticipate him reading her thoughts so easily.

She smiled awkwardly but also felt a sense of relief.

Lukaâs gaze darkened slightly.

He then inquired, âNow that weâve discussed it, can I invite you to dinner occasionally in the future?â

Stella wanted to refuse outright, but hesitated, thinking it might be too narrow-minded.

After contemplating for a moment, she replied, âFeel free to reach out anytime if itâs work-related.

Luka acknowledged with a nod, maintaining silence.

The car reached Prosper Bay shortly.

Stella graciously thanked Luka and entered her home.

Upon opening the door, she noticed the lights were on.

Matthew sat in the living room, wearing a somber expression.

Setting down her bag, Stella approached him and asked, âWhatâs wrong?

You donât look well.
