Chapter 1386
When Love Comes Late
Benny scrutinized Flossieâs face, searching for any hint of falsehood in her steadfast declaration.
Flossie pressed on, revealing, âSomeone has been looking for you at the hospital.
â
At her words, a shadow passed over Bennyâs features, his eyes darkening with contemplation.
After a moment, he responded with a cold sneer, âThen letâs unveil the truth to them.
â
âThe truth?â Flossieâs confusion was palpable.
âWeâll lead them to believe I am dead.
That way, I can maneuver freely.
â Bennyâs plan was clear.
Flossie, grasping his intent, couldnât help but smile.
âIâve already set that in motion.
â
Matthew and Stella went to Matthewâs grandparentsâ for dinner two days on.
En route, Matthewâs phone buzzed with a message from Fernando.
The text detailed the investigationâs findings.
âHospital records show Benny was admitted the day he got injured, but he didnât make it.
No one claimed him, so the hospital handled the cremation.
Weâve located Bennyâs final resting place in the cemetery.
â
Reading through, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
He texted back, steady as ever, âNeed to know who took Benny to the hospital.
â
Fernandoâs reply came swift.
âOn it! Heading to find out now.
â
After Matthew pocketed his phone, the weight that had burdened him lifted, giving way to a subtle smile.
Stella caught the shift in his demeanor and inquired with a smile of her own, âAll sorted?â
âYep.
â He nodded.
âCleared a big hurdle.
â
âThatâs wonderful.
Youâve seemed off lately, which had me worried.

Grasping her hand, Matthew offered, âMy apologies for the concern.
Itâs behind us now.
â
Stella responded not with words but by resting her head on his shoulder, seeking solace in the quiet.
The conversation faded into silence.
Upon their arrival at the villa, they were greeted with a Lavish spread.
Waldo presided over the meal, with Lucia positioned across from Stella and Matthew, persistently reminding Matthew to look after Stella.
The meal unfolded in pleasant accord.
