Ch.1500 Chapter 1504 - When Love Comes Late

Debora seemed to consider his words, her resolve softening, yet she remained stubborn.

âI just want to get back with him.

Suddenly, Lukaâs voice interrupted from behind.

Leaning against the wall, looking both flushed and breathless, he declared, âStarting today, youâre nothing to me.

Deboraâs face showed shock as she stared at Luka, unable to believe what she just heard.

Observing the crowd, Cordell grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Pointing at Luka, Matthew instructed, âTake care of him.

Iâm getting Stella out of here first.

Realizing this wasnât the moment to linger, Stella allowed Matthew to guide her away.

As they were leaving, Debora couldnât help but yell after them, âStella, why do they all Like you?â

Stella faced Deboraâs wild eyes with a calm resolve.

âBecause I know better than to stoop to your level.

Unfazed by Deboraâs antics, Matthew cast her a dismissive glance before departing with Stella in tow.

Once inside the car, Stellaâs hands clenched with residual fear from Deboraâs unsettling behavior.

She drew in a deep breath, trying to quell the unease that lingered within her.

Matthew noticed her trembling hands and reached out, enfolding her in a reassuring embrace.

âItâs okay, Stella.

Youâre safe now.

As he gently caressed her head, she winced in pain, causing him to pull back in concern.

âWhatâs wrong?â he inquired, his eyes filled with worry.

Stella rubbed her sore temple.

âI bumped my head against the wall.

âLet me see if itâs swollen.

â Matthew examined her forehead, relieved to find only a minor injury.

With a sigh of relief, he massaged her head, offering comfort in his light touch.

âDoes it still hurt?â

Stella shook her head, the pain gradually subsiding as she nestled closer to Matthewâs comforting presence.

Fearing for her safety, Matthew implored, âPromise me, Stella, that youâll never face trouble alone again.

You must tell me immediately if youâre in danger.

He didnât dare to imagine what would happen if he didnât arrive in time.

Stella couldnât help but chuckle at his earnestness.

âI promise.

She linked her arm through his and rubbed against his chest coyly.

âI could use some rest.

Letâs head home.

Her perfume and the hint of wine on her breath surely added to her allure.
