Chapter 2119
When Love Comes Late
Miley, intrigued, nudged Stella and asked curiously, âWhoâs this handsome guy? He looks every bit as impressive as Matthew.
â
Stella frowned slightly, surprised to see Sanford there.
Miley couldnât resist asking, âDo you know him?â
Preferring to avoid too much interaction with Sanford, Stella whispered to Miley, âWeâll talk about it later.
â
She then grabbed Mileyâs hand, ready to leave.
At that moment, Sanford and the man with him quickly approached Stella.
Sanford greeted her and said, âWhat a coincidence.
I didnât expect to see you here.
â
Stella smiled awkwardly and replied stiffly, âIndeed, a coincidence.
â
Seeing the two men by Stella, Matthew, who had been chatting with Neville, looked concerned and hurried over.
Neville quickly followed him.
As Matthew approached and noticed one of the men was Sanford, he took Stellaâs hand firmly, as if to claim his ownership.
Sanford glanced at Matthew and Stella holding hands, smiled subtly, and remained silent.
When the man beside Sanford saw Neville, he greeted him warmly, saying, âNeville, I didnât expect you to come with Mr.
Clark.
Itâs great to have you here.
â
âWe just happened to be free,â Neville replied curtly, and then turned to the women and introduced, âThis is Philip Dawson, the owner of the resort.
â
Miley and Stella gave a slight nod.
Philip greeted the two warmly, and then turned to Sanford and asked cautiously, âDo you know them as well?â
Sanford completely disregarded Matthewâs presence, gestured toward Stella, and said with a smile, âThis is my younger sister.
â
Philip looked puzzled.
âSince when did you have a sister?â
Sanford just offered a smile in response and chose not to elaborate.
Philip was about to delve deeper, but noticing Matthewâs stern expression, he quickly dropped the subject.
He cleared his throat and shifted the conversation, saying, âWeâre having a small auction at the hotel, and it includes a pair of Chaumet couple rings.
Neville, since youâre planning to propose, you might want to check it outâ¦â
In the middle of his words, Philip glanced at Matthew and Stella and added with a smile, âMr.
Clark, you might find it interesting as well.
I hope you enjoy your stay here.
â
After finishing his words, he tugged at Sanford, signaling it was time to leave.
However, Sanford stayed put.
His gaze lingered on Stellaâs hand, and then he turned to Matthew and inquired, âThereâs nothing on Stellaâs hand.
Since youâre gearing up for a wedding, shouldnât you be preparing a ring?â
