Chapter 1477
When Love Comes Late
What purpose does your presence serve now?â
He then signaled to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard forced Benny towards the window.
Despite his efforts, Benny found himself immobilized.
âStay away from Flossie,â Edmund commanded coldly from behind.
Benny attempted to resist, but the bodyguardâs grip tightened with every struggle.
Bennyâs unease grew, suspecting Edmundâs kindness towards Flossie hid ulterior motives.

There had to be something more Edmund wanted from Flossie.
âHow dare you dictate terms? Iâm Flossieâs boyfriend.
If itâs over, she should be the one to tell me,â Benny retorted through clenched teeth.
Edmundâs expression darkened further, his fists clenched, barely restraining his anger.
âBoyfriend?â A scornful smile flickered across Edmundâs face.
âFlossie is my daughter.
That gives me every right to cut you off from her.
â
Bennyâs shock was evident, disbelief etching his features.
As he searched for words, his attention was drawn to a familiar car outside the window.
Turning, he saw Matthew and Stella alighting from the vehicle.
With determination in his eyes, Benny addressed Edmund, âI regret todayâs events.
But having chosen Flossie, I commit to her well-being and vow never to cause her harm again.
â
Edmund remained unimpressed by the pledge.
Benny persisted, âAs her boyfriend, Iâll protect her from harm.
The real threat is whoever lured her to the resort, risking her life in the snow.
They harbor ill intent.
â
This seemed to give Edmund pause, his expression softening as he mulled over Bennyâs words.
âI intend to confront those responsible.
Flossie shouldnât suffer because of them.
We can discuss this later if you wish,â Benny hurried to add.

Noticing Matthew and Stellaâs imminent arrival, Benny realized time was short.
âTheyâre here.
Please instruct your bodyguards to release me, allowing me to avoid them for now.
â
Edmundâs face softened a bit.
He glanced at Benny, mulling over his words.
Eventually, he nodded, signaling to the bodyguard to release him.
âHead over to the next room first,â he instructed.
Benny, grateful, left without another word.
After a bit, Stella and Matthew stumbled upon Flossieâs room.
Opening the door, they were met with a middle-aged man clad in black, reminiscent of someone from the underworld.
