Chapter 1441
When Love Comes Late
Matthew set his phone aside, scooped up Stella, and sat her on his lap.
âSeems like other guys are noticing my charming wife.
Guess I have to step up my game.
â
Stella wrapped her arms around his neck, curious.
âSo, how are you planning to spoil me?â
Matthewâs grip tightened around her waist.
He gazed into her eyes, his voice husky.
âIâm taking my wife for wedding photos.
â
âWedding photos? Already?â Stella was taken aback.
Matthew playfully pinched her cheek, reminding her, âItâs not soon.
Our weddingâs at the end of next month.
We havenât even taken photos yet.
Itâs overdue.
â
Stella pondered for a moment, then chuckled sheepishly.
With all the recent chaos and her busy filming schedule, sheâd forgotten about the wedding plans for a bit.
âWhere are we shooting?â she asked.
âIâve got filming in Seamarsh.
Canât really leave.

âI get it.
Weâll do it in the city.
â Matthew reassured her.
âYouâve got this weekend off.
Weâll go around Seamarsh and snap some pics.
â
âSounds good.
â Stella nodded happily.
As she released his hand to text, Matthew frowned.
âItâs late.
Whoâre you messaging?â
Without looking up, Stella replied bluntly, âHaley.
â
Matthewâs expression darkened.
He reached over and tapped her phone screen.
âWhatâs up?â
Looking him in the eye, Matthew spoke seriously.
âI need you to be prepared.
If the test shows Haley isnât your mom, donât let it crush you.
â
Stella met his gaze firmly.
âI know.
Donât worry.
â
Neville and Miley returned from Dorburn.
As soon as they got off the plane, Amya and Hurley approached them.
The air was thick with tension as the two parties met, none wearing smiles.
Miley felt a tug at her instinct to pull her hand away from Nevilleâs grasp, yet his grip only tightened.
Amyaâs eyes caught this small exchange, her expression darkening further.
She couldnât hide her disdain as she bluntly questioned Neville.
âWhy did you bring her to Dorburn?â
While Hurley remained silent, his stern face mirrored Amyaâs disapproval, clearly unhappy with Mileyâs presence.
