Chapter 1273
When Love Comes Late
Gazing at Stella, Miley managed a faint smile.
âYou should head back now.
Lately, you and Matthew havenât had many moments alone, thanks to me, right? Itâs better for you to return and be with him.
I can take care of myself.
â
Stella felt a wave of concern but held her words back upon reflection.
Noticing Stellaâs concern, Miley reassured her, âIâm wide awake now, Stella.
I wonât put myself in any risky situations.
â
Stella breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mileyâs promise.
âWell then, make sure to get some good rest when youâre back home.
Donât hesitate to call me if you feel uncomfortable,â she said, her concern evident in her voice.
Miley nodded and waved goodbye to Stella.
The snowfall had intensified, making the road quite slippery.
When Stella arrived back at Prosper Bay, she saw Matthew hastily emerging from the house.
Upon spotting her, Matthew turned and approached her.
He reached out to adjust her hat.
âIt started snowing heavily, and I was just on my way to pick you up.
Why did you walk back? Werenât you going to the hospital?â
Nestling into his embrace, Stella explained, âI dropped Miley off and decided to walk back.
Letâs go inside.
The snow is getting heavier.
â
As she began to lead him to the house, Matthew suddenly bent down and lifted her off her feet.
Startled, Stella protested, âWhat are you doing? I can walk by myself.
â
âThe road is slippery.
â With that, Matthew carried Stella inside.
He gently placed her in a chair at the dining table, where a delightful aroma of food filled the room.
Stellaâs hunger pangs had her eager to start eating.
She wiped her hands and prepared to dig in.
Matthew served her some food and informed her, âBella has returned to Dorburn.

Stella set her fork down, her disappointment evident.
âShe went back so soon? I havenât had a chance to meet her yet.
I hope Iâll get the opportunity to meet the renowned design expert in the future.
â
Matthewâs eyes darkened slightly as he reached over to ruffle Stellaâs hair, offering comfort.
âDonât worry too much.
Youâll cross paths with her sooner or later.
â
Stella nodded, though her confidence was somewhat lacking.
âIâm planning to host a conference for my new clothing collection before the wedding.
Iâd love to invite Bella to attend.
â
Naturally, Matthew supported Stellaâs plan.
âOf course.
â
Despite his words of support, he couldnât shake the feeling that Elizabeth might pose a potential threat.
After several encounters, he had a sense that she wasnât as simple as she Looked.
Now, she and Stella were part of the same filming crew.
Stella interrupted Matthewâs thoughts with a gentle push on his arm.
âHurry up, think about work tomorrow,â she urged.
Matthew couldnât help but smile, nodding in agreement with her.
