Chapter 2194
When Love Comes Late
Matthew was busy signing a document.
At her voice, he looked up and asked, âWhatâs up?â
Lindsay appeared embarrassed, opening and closing her mouth several times without speaking.
Noticing her hesitation, Matthewâs brows furrowed, and he asked impatiently, âWhat is it?â
After a long pause, she said, âIâm sorry⦠Robin messed up.
It was my fault for not keeping a closer eye on him.
â
Matthewâs expression turned serious.
He didnât remember much about Robin, only recalling that he had been troublesome since his youth.
Anxious, Matthew asked, âWhat did he do?â
âHe almost harmed Stellaâ¦â
As Lindsay spoke, she watched Matthewâs face intently.
Upon hearing her, Matthew clenched his pen tighter, though his face remained unreadable.
Lindsay added, âI intended for him to apologize to Stella, but a man took her away⦠Itâs getting late.
We should bring Stella back soon.
We donât want any surprises, right?â
Matthewâs face remained unchanged.
He responded in a flat tone, âIs that so?â
His face showed no signs of anxiety or concern.
Seeing this, Lindsay felt a surge of relief, yet she feigned a troubled and guilty demeanor.
In a gentle voice, she explained, âItâs ultimately Robinâs fault, and Iâve already reprimanded him severely, butâ¦â
Then, she added quickly, âHe mentioned that when Stella was taken away, she had been drinking quite a bit.
The man who took her was very forceful.
Iâm really worried something terrible might happen.
Iâve asked Robin to come pick me up.
Letâs go together and bring Stella back.
â
âWhere is she?â Matthew inquired, his voice cold and deep.
Lindsay immediately gave him the location.
She regretted that Stella hadnât ended up with Jack, but was somewhat relieved that she had been taken by another man.
She thought as long as she could sow some seeds of misunderstanding between Matthew and Stella, the means were not important.
Matthewâs demeanor was still unemotional.
He stood up and began wheeling her out.
Robin was already waiting by the door.
He looked slightly apprehensive at the sight of Matthew emerging.
However, remembering that Matthew had lost part of his memories and was indebted to Lindsay, Robin straightened up confidently.
âIâll drive you,â Robin said quickly.
Lindsay nodded and settled into the back seat with Matthew.
