Chapter 19
When Love Comes Late
Stella kept her lips sealed and her polite smile unmoved as if she wasnât being threatened.
Her nonchalance annoyed Vivien even more.
She questioned with her nose flaring, âWhatâs your name?â
âHer name is Stella Anderson!â
A deep voice suddenly came from the door.
The words Stella wanted to say hung at the tip of her tongue.
The banquet hall instantly became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
All heads turned in the direction the voice came from.
Matthewâs tall figure soon came into peopleâs view.
The well-ironed suit he had on made him look dashing.
He exuded a strong aura.
Vivienâs face changed at the sight of him.
She rushed to him and said coquettishly, âThank goodness you are here, Matthew! Look at the remote seat that was assigned to me.
If I sit here, I wouldnât be able to see you clearly throughout the party.
I want to sit right next to you, okay?â
As she spoke, she reached out to hold his hand.
Matthew dodged easily.

His voice remained deep.
âChanges canât be made to the sitting arrangement.
If you donât want to seat here, you might as well use the door.
â
Vivienâs red lips dropped open.
She blinked as if something had just hit her in the face.
The other guests looked at her gloatingly.
Feeling the mocking gazes from all directions, Vivienâs face turned extremely red.
She lowered her head in shame.
Staring at Matthewâs back, Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
Matthew walked away.
After taking his seat, he picked up the pamphlet containing the order of the party and began reading it.
Neville Pierce, who had been following him quietly, relaxed in his chair.
He rested his chin on his hand.
After staring at Matthew for a while, he nudged him.
âHey, man.
Didnât your wife return yesterday? Remember you said that you would introduce her to us? Why havenât you done that? Are you hiding her from us? You donât want us to meet her anymore?â
Neville glanced at Vivien when he finished speaking.
As a result, he didnât notice that Matthewâs face darkened and his eyes turned icy.
