Chapter 1958
When Love Comes Late
At this moment, Matthew could already feel his body temperature rising.
He was confused.
This obviously didnât feel right.
After being in the business world for so many years, he was already familiar with dirty tricks.
He immediately realized that he should have been drugged.
His face slowly darkened.
A gleam shone in Lindsayâs eyes.
She held Matthewâs hand and said in a cute voice that men liked, âMatthew, you are sweating a lot.
Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need to rest? Iâll help you to the lounge.
â
A flicker of joy flashed through Lindsayâs eyes.
With Stella gone, Matthew had no choice but to turn to her.
If she could just get Matthew to spend the night, it might spell the end for him and Stella.
This was her opportunity.
However, Matthew abruptly pushed her away.
âIâm going to Stella,â he stated and hurried off.
A surge of jealousy and rage swept through Lindsay, but she quickly composed herself.
âLet me take you to Stella,â she insisted.
At the mention of Stellaâs name, Matthew relented.
A smug smile crept onto Lindsayâs lips as they ascended the stairs together.
She tightened her grip on him, almost sniggering at her cunning.
Just as she was about to open the door, Felix unexpectedly appeared.
Upon seeing Lindsay, Felixâs eyes lit up.
âLindsay! Iâve been Looking for you all night.
There you are.
â
Lindsayâs plan was interrupted, leaving her annoyed.
She suppressed her irritation and said patiently, âFelix, itâs been a while.
Iâm busy right now, maybe another timeâ¦â
She guided Matthew forward, hoping to distance herself from the persistent Felix.
Ignoring her words, Felix seized her arm excitedly.
âItâs been years.
You look even more beautiful.
Letâs catch up.
â
Lindsayâs annoyance grew, but Felix seemed oblivious to her discomfort.
She patiently explained, âFelix, I really have urgent matters to attend to.
Letâs talk later.
â
It was only then that Felix noticed Matthewâs presence.
He squinted suspiciously and moved to help support him, maintaining a careful distance between Lindsay and Matthew.
âIs this Matthew? What happened to him?â Felix inquired, his tone unfriendly.
Lindsay was irritated by Felixâs interference but restrained herself.
âMatthew isnât feeling well.
Iâll help him rest,â she replied evenly.
Felix objected, âYou two shouldnât be alone.
Let the staff handle him.
â
Concerned that Felix might indeed leave Matthew to the staff, Lindsay quickly intervened, reaching out.
âNo, weâre at the door, just two steps away.
Iâll take him inside.
â
She felt tense.
âBesides, Matthew is someone of importance.
It wouldnât look good if heâs seen like this.
Please, let me handle it.
