Chapter 1411
When Love Comes Late
He understood they needed to approach the situation carefully.
Racking his brain, Clint finally shook his head, admitting, âItâs been too long.
I canât recall her face.
But she resembles Stella and approached her.
I believe itâs her.
â
Matthewâs concern deepened upon hearing Clintâs uncertain response.
He cautioned, âLetâs be careful.
â
Clint agreed, âI get your point.
Letâs arrange a DNA test in the next few days to be certain.
DNA tests wonât lie.

Matthew wanted to discuss further, but Stellaâs call from the living room interrupted them.
âMatthew, itâs late.
We should take Haley back to her hotel.
â For some reason, calling Haley her mom felt strange to Stella.
As soon as they walked out of the house, Haley stopped, turned to Stella, and said with a smile, âIâm staying in a hotel nearby.

âOh, itâs okay.
Weâll walk you there,â Stella replied with a smile.
âMatthew and I both live in Seamarsh.
Since you havenât found a job yet, why donât you stay with us for the time being?â
Upon hearing this, Haley glanced at Matthew, looking somewhat conflicted.
Matthew must have felt her gaze because he raised his head and also looked at her.
He simply asked, âWhat kind of work did you do before?â
As usual, his voice was indifferent and with a hint of alienation.
But his tone was much better than before.
Haley slightly eased up.
She smiled at Matthew and answered, âIâm in the design field, just like Stella.
â
âIs that so?â Matthew seemed unconvinced.
âCan I see your design work?â
He thought Haley would find an excuse to decline.
He didnât expect her to nod without hesitation.
âYes, of course.
â After saying this, she took out her phone, opened the folder where her designs were saved, and handed it to Matthew.
Matthew took the phone and checked every design carefully.
Stella couldnât resist her curiosity.
She also leaned over and had a look.
When Stella saw Haleyâs design drafts, she was amazed.
Each stroke in every hand-drawn draft seemed casual, but they were remarkably exquisite when combined.
Stella couldnât help but exclaim in admiration, âWow, youâre really talented! Your skills are profound, and your design concepts are very clear.
â
Haley smiled faintly.
She humbly responded with a few words and then fell silent.
When Matthew saw that Haley was unfazed by his probing, he returned the phone to her.
