Chapter 1479
When Love Comes Late
Thankfully, youâre alright.
â
âToday was just an unfortunate incident.
Donât dwell on it.
â Flossie managed a smile.
âBesides, if youâre here, your husband wonât leave, and I really need to get some rest without feeling pressured.
â
Matthew chimed in, hoping to persuade Stella, âWe should come back tomorrow.
Staying here might just make Flossie uncomfortable.
â
Realizing the truth in his words, Stella agreed reluctantly.
She left, but not before reminding Flossie to take care of herself.
With Stella gone, Flossie turned to Edmund.
âMr.
Hanson, itâs quite late.
You should head home too.
â
Edmund remained still, his voice low.
âYouâre expecting.

Flossie hesitated, her gaze dropping before she gently touched her abdomen, her eyes brimming with tears.
âIs it really true?â
The reality of her situation hadnât fully hit her until now.
The initial burst of happiness was quickly overshadowed by thoughts of Benny.
âMr.
Hanson, could you please keep this a secret for now?â
Edmundâs brow furrowed, concern apparent on his face.
âWhy? Does your boyfriend not want the baby?â
âNo, itâs not that,â Flossie hurried to explain.
âI want to tell him myself.
I think itâll be a wonderful surprise.
â
Her words were still hanging in the air when the door swung open.
Bennyâs unexpected appearance sent a wave of panic through her.
âBenny? What brings you here?â
She couldnât help but wonder if he had overheard their conversation.
Flossieâs eyes searched Bennyâs for any sign of what he might have heard.
Approaching her, Benny apologized with a heavy heart.
âIâm sorry for all the pain youâve endured.
â
Flossie took a moment, relief washing over her when she realized Benny hadnât mentioned their earlier conversation.
âJust having you here means the world to me,â she replied with a genuine smile.
Benny then turned to Edmund, expressing his gratitude.
âThank you for everything, Mr.
Hanson.
â
Prompted by his words, Flossie recalled seeing Edmund before everything went black.
Curiosity piqued, she asked, âMr.
Hanson, why have you been so kind to me?â
Edmund looked at her, torn.
Part of him yearned to reveal the truth, but fear held him back.
It had been years since he last saw Flossie.
The fear of rejection if she knew the truth was overwhelming.
