Ch.1657 Chapter 1661 - When Love Comes Late

Everyone at the party was either loaded or influential.

But Flossie seemed intent on keeping her boyfriendâs identity under wraps.

Was it his demand orâ¦

Stellaâs friend was involved, so Matthew had to stay vigilant.

Once in the car, he texted Fernando, asking him to look into the license plate of the Ferrari.

Meanwhile, Flossie made it home in no time.

Benny lLounged on the couch, looking like heâd been waiting for her return.

In high spirits, Flossie tossed her bag to the side and went straight to Benny.

She looped her arm through his and nestled against him.

âWhenâd you snag this sweet ride? You nearly gave me a heart attack!â

Caught up in the joy of things going smoothly, Benny didnât hesitate.

âI made some cash from that deal with Edmund.

I figured since your friendsâ boyfriends are big shots, Iâd match up.

I didnât want you feeling left out.

âI donât compare you to anyone,â Flossie said as she squeezed his arm.

âJust being with you makes me happy.

Benny ruffled her hair, grinning.

âI got you covered now.

Just kick back and chill at home.

Flossie beamed but stood her ground.

âI am not about the leisure life.

I like to hustle and build up my career.

Benny cupped her face, planting a ki*s on her cheek.

âWell, itâs your call, babe.

With that, he led her to the dining room.

They walked hand in hand.

âI have some fine wine to celebrate.

Will you join me?â

On the table sat a bottle and two glasses.

Flossie halted Benny as he reached for the bottle.

âIâve got gastritis,â she fibbed.

âI canât drink.

âAre you okay?â Bennyâs brow furrowed with concern.

âHave you been eating some sketchy stuff? Iâll take you to the doctor.

âDonât bother.

â Flossie waved him off.

âI have some medicines.

Iâll bounce back.

Thereâs no need to be concerned about me.

âThatâs good to hear.

â Benny sighed, relieved.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

âOh, and Iâve got plans for us tomorrow.

The following day, at Prosperity Groupâ¦

The weather sucked.

It had been clouds since dawn and then a downpour.

Matthew gazed out the French window, lost in thought.
