Chapter 1491
When Love Comes Late
Noticing the changes in Matthewâs demeanor towards Haley, Stella attributed it to the DNA test.
She was so happy about this.
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up at the hotel entrance.
Stella and Haley hurried upstairs to pack, leaving Matthew waiting in the hall.
Once they vanished into the elevator, Matthew lingered on the sofa briefly before approaching the front desk.
âCould you provide me with information on the resident in Room 8203?
Being new, the receptionist hesitated.
âIâm sorry, Sir.
I canât disclose guest information.
â
Matthew dialed the managerâs number, resolving the issue with a brief call.
After a pause, the receptionistâs expression changed when she received a call from the manager.
Meeting Matthewâs gaze with surprise, she quickly complied with the managerâs request before hanging up.
âIâm really sorry, Mr.
Clark.
I didnât realize it was you.
I apologizeâ¦â
Matthew interrupted her.
âCould you check if Haley Ramos is staying alone here after checking in?â
âSure.
â Without hesitation, the receptionist typed away on her computer.
âIt seems a man has been visiting her.
â
A man?
Matthewâs frown deepened.
âWhat did he look like?â
âHe always wore a mask, so I couldnât see his face,â the receptionist explained, pulling up surveillance footage.
Matthew watched the screen closely for a moment, unable to recognize the man.
Their interactions, however, seemed close.
âI see,â he said, turning to call Fernando.
âHead to the hotel now and grab some surveillance tapes,â he instructed over the phone.
After the call ended, Stella and Haley came downstairs.
Matthew eyed Haley silently before focusing on her suitcase.
âIs that all your luggage?â
Haley was startled by the unexpected question, unsure why Matthew was asking.
Stella looked puzzled, too.
âDonât you remember? When she came with us to Seamarsh, she only had one suitcase.
â
âItâs easy to forget little things like that.
â Haley interjected, trying to lighten the mood.
âIâm used to traveling light.
And I donât have much stuff anyway.
â
âIs that so?â Matthewâs lips tightened.
âWhat about the man who visited you often? Did he leave anything behind?â
âWhat man?â Confusion clouded Stellaâs expression as she glanced at Matthew, unsure what he was referring to.
