Chapter 2
When Love Comes Late
âIs it because of your husband? You still want to wait for him?â
Stella didnât utter a word, but her look said it all.
Oliver snorted.
âDonât wait for him anymore.
Need I remind you that he has never contacted you since you guys got married? Doesnât that tell you enough?â
Stella was lost for words.
âIf he wanted to come pick you up, he would have shown up before I did.
How can you trust a man that has ignored your existence for one year?â Oliver added in a more sarcastic tone.

While the two of them were arguing, a tall figure appeared in the crowd and was heading for them.
Matthew Clark was talking on the phone.
âIâm already at the airport.

A soft female voice came from the other end of the line.
âRemember, Ella is wearing a red dress today.
She has long curly hair.
Also, her suitcase is blackâ¦â
âI have already seen her, Grandma.
Now, can you stop worrying?â
Matthewâs eyes were fixed on the duo meters away.
He frowned.
There was a woman who fitted the description his grandmother gave, down to the color of her suitcase.
But she just got into a manâs car while he held the door for her.
Matthewâs tone suddenly turned cold.
âGot to go, Grandma.
Iâll talk to you later.
â
Matthewâs face darkened.
At the same time, an icy glint leaped into his deep-set eyes.
