Chapter 13
When Love Comes Late
The steak she was eating tasted bland in her mouth.
After swallowing a mouthful forcefully, she set down her knife and fork, and then texted Maverick again.
âHey, why arenât you here yet? Whatâs keeping you? If tonight isnât convenient for you, letâs agree on another day and time.
â
Oliverâs heart ached a little when he saw Stellaâs mood dampen.
It made him hate Maverick even more.
Slamming his glass on the table, he cursed angrily, âMaverick is such a jerk! How dare he stand you up twice on the same day? You deserve so much better, Stella.
I say that you divorce him!â
âShhh! Stop adding fuel to the fire!â Juliette hushed him with a glare.
Oliver shook his head with disappointment and zipped up his Lips even though he wanted to continue cursing so bad.
Juliette turned to Stella and comforted her in a soft voice, âDonât look so sad, Stella.
Maybe something is keeping him.

Since she and Oliver had fallen in love at first sight, she believed that true love could happen to Stella and her husband.
But she also acknowledged that it wouldnât be easy at first.
Stella nodded without saying anything.
She looked at her phone again.
Maverick still hadnât replied her last message.
Was it that he hadnât seen it or that he was ignoring her now?
Matthewâs intention to confront his wife and her boyfriend had been halted by Stellaâs sudden appearance.
It appeared she was also there for dinner.
For some reason, he didnât want Stella to know that he had marriage problems.
Matthew marched to the parking lot, looking like he would explode at any moment.
He had just gotten into his car when the phone in his pocket buzzed.
He whipped it out and saw that his wife just texted him.
His eyebrows furrowed as soon as he read the message.
Was she out of her mind? He had just seen her ki*sing another man in public, but she still dared to text him as if she couldnât wait to see him.
What a pretentious woman!
Matthew had Lived long enough to encounter all kinds of women.
A lot had done outrageous things, but none of them came close to what his wife just did.
She had gotten him real good to the extent that he almost lost his cool in public.
He was so irritated.
He threw his phone aside, started the ignition, and zoomed off.
Seething with rage, Matthew went on a long drive around the city.
It was already very late when he arrived home.
