Chapter 1468
When Love Comes Late
She instinctively looked down at her belly, a sense of premonition washing over her.
Although the possibility filled her with joy, she wasnât ready to share her suspicion with others just yet.
So she lied, âIt should be gastroenteritis.
Iâm not feeling well these days.
â
âWhy didnât you mention this sooner? We could have rescheduled the photo shoot if Iâd known you werenât well,â Stella said, her brow furrowed in worry.
âPut on your coat, at least.
We donât want you catching a cold on top of everything.
â
Flossie nodded, âOkay.
â
As they made their way back to the dining room, Flossie slipped into her coat, her movements gentle.
She sat in silence, her hand surreptitiously resting on her belly, contemplating the need to confirm her suspicions with a pregnancy test as soon as she returned home.
Flossie pushed her food around her plate, her appetite dulled by the weight of her preoccupation.
Every bite felt like a burden on her already troubled stomach.
Her fingers found their way to Stellaâs hand beneath the table, her touch a silent plea for understanding.
âStella, if thereâs nothing else, I think I should head back.
â
Mileyâs eyes widened in curiosity.
âWhy? Weâve got cake waiting for us later.
Itâs the weekend, after all.
No other plans in sight.
How about we make the most of this luxurious villa and have some fun?
There are so many rooms in the resort.
It wonât be a bargain if you donât stay here.
Am I right, Mr.
Clark?â
Matthewâs tranquil gaze swept over them, his voice a soothing melody in the air.
âIâve taken care of your accommodations for tonight.
Why not enjoy the breathtaking night view with Stella?â
âYour generosity is truly appreciated, but my heart still yearns for home.
â Flossie shook her head slowly.
Stellaâs gaze was filled with concern as she observed her friend, noticing the lingering signs of fatigue.
âAre you still not feeling well?â
She extended her hand towards Flossieâs forehead.
âYou donât have a fever.
But if youâre feeling uncomfortable, donât hesitate to ask the doctor to check on you.
â
She glanced at Matthew with a subtle nod.
Without delay, he retrieved his phone from his pocket, ready to assist.
âDonât bother,â Flossie intervened hastily, a playful twinkle in her eye.
âYouâre in pairs.
Iâm feeling a tad jealous and suddenly longing to hunt down my boyfriend.
â
âI seeâ¦â Miley smiled playfully.
âWhy donât you bring your boyfriend with you today? In that case, you wonât be lost in thought all the time.

âYou will have a chance to see him in the future.
â Flossie spoke vaguely.
âIâd better head back first.
â
Observing Flossieâs resolve, Stella yielded.
âOkay, if you want to go back, just go.
Letâs plan to meet up another day.
Matthew, could you arrange for someone to drive Flossie home?â
Matthew nodded in acknowledgment before called out to a nearby bodyguard.
âOrion, please see Flossie safely off.
â
âOkay,â Orion said and immediately went to drive the car.
Before Flossie departed, Stella dr@ped a coat over her shoulders, a gesture of warmth and concern.
âItâs chilly out there.
Remember to send me a message once youâre home.
And if youâre still feeling unwell, donât hesitate to ask your boyfriend to take you to the hospital.
â
âI will.
â Flossie nodded, offering a reassuring smile before stepping out.
At that moment, Orionâs car pulled up outside.
As Flossie made her way towards the vehicle, Stella and Matthew returned to the cozy confines of the living room.
