Chapter 1396
When Love Comes Late
The driver promptly opened the rear door, and Matthew stepped out.
He then gracefully opened the passenger door for Stella with a happy smile.
Stella emerged in a stunning pure white dress that highlighted her graceful figure and delicate neck, exuding allure and elegance.
She took hold of Matthewâs arm and boarded the cruise ship with him.
The light cast a glow on her face, enhancing her fair skin.
Happiness radiated from her bright eyes.
âMr.
and Mrs.
Clark.
â
People passing by greeted them one after another.
Matthew nodded slightly, and Stella responded with a smile.
Suddenly, someone called out to her from behind.
âStella.
â
Hearing the familiar voice, Stella turned around.
She was greeted by the sight of Flossie in a form-fitting brown leather dress that showcased her figure.
As Matthew was engaged in conversation by another guest, Stella excused herself to approach Flossie.
Grasping Flossieâs hand, Stellaâs eyes betrayed a hint of pity.
âYouâve lost quite a bit of weight.
It must be exhausting caring for the patient.
Perhaps you should consider hiring a caregiver.
â
âDonât worry.
I can manage,â Flossie replied, a hint of embarrassment crossing her features.
Obviously, Stella didnât believe her words.
âBut this isnât sustainable.
You need to focus on your career too.
When do you plan to return to the company?â
âSoon,â Flossie assured, swiftly changing the subject.
âHow have things been between you and Mr.
Clark lately?â
Stella blushed slightly.
âWeâre doing great.
Despite recent challenges, our love for each other has only deepened.

âThatâs wonderful to hear,â Flossie responded, her smile tinged with effort.
âYou finally have a happy ending.
Iâm genuinely happy for you.

Meanwhile, the cruise buzzed with laughter and chatter as Carlâs henchmen discreetly boarded, quickly locating their intended target.
Watching the party unfold through a monitor, Bennyâs gaze fixated on Matthew.
âWe meet again.
â
His eyes narrowed with determination, he issued a chilling command.
âMatthew is well-guarded.
Focus on his wife.
Take care of her first.
â
Suddenly, the lights on the cruise grew dim.
The host, dressed in a sleek black tailcoat, made his way to the stage and announced, âLadies and gentlemen, good evening.
Weâre thrilled to have you at our cruise ball tonight.
I hope youâre all feeling wonderful.
