Ch.1502 Chapter 1506 - When Love Comes Late

Shaking her head, Stella clarified, âItâs just a vague memory.

Iâm just curious about what he looked Like.

Haleyâs relief was palpable as she realized Stella wasnât hiding anything.

Yet, her gaze turned sorrowful as she spoke.

âAfter the accident, I was too injured to retrieve much of our belongings from our home.

I was sent abroad soon after waking up.

A fleeting pang of regret flitted across Stellaâs expression at the realization of lost opportunities.

Fearing that Stella might remember something more, Haley deftly redirected the conversation.

âItâs getting late.

You should go upstairs and rest.

Silently, Stella nodded.

Observing the exchange, Matthew approached with the medicine, his gaze thoughtful and filled with unspoken meaning as he regarded Haley.

Stella dozed off after putting on the medicine.

Matthew tucked her in and sneaked off to the study.

Sitting there, he couldnât shake off Haleyâs recent reaction.

Then, he fired up his computer, checking the security footage for when he was out earlier.

On the screen, Haley seemed her usual self, calling anxiously now and then.

Matthew drummed his fingers on the table, pondering if she was talking to her so-called boyfriend.

He glared at the screen, a smirk creeping onto his face.

He figured Haley would slip up eventually.

Without a word, he shut down the computer and headed back to bed.

Stella was sleeping like a log.

He couldnât resist planting a ki*s on her cheek before dozing off himself.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the curtains.

Stellaâs phone jingled, rousing her from sleep.

She yawned and picked up.

It was Luka.

She hit âanswer right away.

âHow are you?â Lukaâs voice was soft and tinged with guilt.

Stella cleared her throat.

âIâm good.

How about you?â

âIâm fine.

Thanks for last nightâ¦â Luka paused, then added, âAnd Matthew.

Tell him thanks from me.

âNo worries, itâs nothing.

We didnât want things to go south last night.

â Stella was wide awake now.

After a beat, she asked, âWhatâs the plan with Debora?â

Luka let out a soft sigh and murmured, âThatâs it.

Itâs done.
