Chapter 365
When Love Comes Late
Had she truly been as content as she claimed during her years with the Anderson family?
Suddenly, he recollected the incident when Aziel had nearly assaulted Stella during his time in Bysea.
His expression darkened.
Matthew clenched his fists.
No matter what Stellaâs life had been before, now that she was his wife, he would never allow her to be harmed in any way.
He would protect her always.
The wind began to pick up, and Stella, dressed in a light dress, looked vulnerable.
She wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her hands together to stave off the chill.
At that moment, she felt the weight of a jacket on her shoulders.
Matthew removed his suit jacket and dr@ped it over her.
Stella froze, her eyes fixed on him in bewilderment.
Matthew murmured softly, âThe temperature in the mountains can vary significantly between day and night.
You should be careful not to catch a cold.
â
Stellaâs heart trembled.
She attempted to decline, feigning composure.
âYouâre the backbone of Prosperity Group.
It would be detrimental if you fell ill.

With that, she removed the jacket and offered it back to Matthew.
âIâve been standing for quite some time, and Iâm tired.
Letâs return to the car.

Having spoken her piece, she headed back to the car.
Matthew glanced down at the jacket in his hand, lost in thought for a moment, before turning to follow her.

Seated back in the driverâs seat, he suggested, âThe road ahead is still being cleared.
If youâre feeling tired, you can rest for a while.
Iâll wake you when we reach Prosper Bay.
â
âIâll take a nap.
You can wake me once the road is clear, and Iâll drive.
â
She averted her gaze from Matthew, worried that he would discern the evasion in her eyes.
âVery well,â Matthew replied in a hushed tone.
Perhaps Stella was genuinely fatigued or subconsciously sought to evade Matthew.
She closed her eyes briefly and soon drifted into slumber.
Listening to the sound of her steady breathing, Matthew shifted his attention.
