Ch.1477 Chapter 1481 - When Love Comes Late

Flossie released him, nodding in agreement.

âI wonât bring it up again.

After handing her a glass of water, Benny settled into a chair beside the bed.

In the silence that filled the ward, Flossie sought to lighten the mood.

After a sip of water, she shared, âI saw Stella in a wedding dress today.

She looked stunning.

I dream of wearing a beautiful wedding dress myself one day.

Her glance at Benny was tentative.

Benny remained quiet.

He understood the implication of her words yet chose not to respond.

Commitment was a promise he wasnât ready to make.

Being in a romantic relationship with Flossie didnât align with his plans; he didnât want things to go further down the wrong path.

Flossieâs hope waned at his silence, prompting her to hold back her pregnancy for now.

âTry to get some sleep,â suggested Benny, steering the conversation elsewhere.

Complying, Flossie settled down, and Benny carefully covered her, whispering, âRest now.

Iâll stay right here tonight.

As she closed her eyes, Benny felt a stir within him.

He leaned down to ki*s her forehead gently.

In that instant, Flossieâs grip on his hand tightened.

Caught off guard, Benny looked down at their joined hands.

With her eyes still shut, Flossie wished softly, âIf only it could always be like this.

On the way home, Stella was still shocked and couldnât help blaming herself.

âI should have checked the weather forecast in advance.

I almost made a big mistake.

Matthew held her hand, gently squeezed it, and said comfortingly, âItâs not your fault, so donât blame yourself.

We have no control over natural calamities.

None of us can even predict it.

Stella knew his words made sense.

But every time she thought of this terrifying day, her heart still pounded.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Then, she suddenly thought of the man in Flossieâs ward.

âFlossie and I have been friends for a long time, but I didnât know she had such an old friend.

I have no idea what that man does.

But judging from the way he dressed, he must be rich and powerfulâ¦â

Stella paused and frowned.

She knew there were people in every industry who relied on big shotsâsupport.

But she didnât believe Flossie would take this shortcut.

Besides, Flossie already had a boyfriend.

Stella turned and looked at Matthew.

âYou know a lot of people in Seamarsh.

Do you remember seeing this man?â

Matthew Looked calm, but he frowned.

âHe looks familiar.

Iâve met him once or twice in banquets before, but we never exchanged words.

Stellaâs frown deepened even more.

She fell into deep thought.
