Chapter 436
When Love Comes Late
The pair stepped out of the car, and in an instant, Neville noticed Stella in a rush.
âStella!â
Stella turned her gaze to the source of the voice and spotted Matthew and Neville, which made her slightly anxious.
Nevertheless, she approached them and extended a warm greetingâ¦
âWhere are you off to in such a rush?â Neville inquired curiously.
Stella responded truthfully, âI forgot to pick up the cake.
I need to head to the bakery to pick it up.
Please, take Mr.
Clark and go on ahead.
â
Neville stopped her and turned to Matthew.
âMatthew, why donât you go with her? Itâs your birthday, and this way, you can check the cake beforehand.
If thereâs anything wrong, you can make changes right away.
â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea.
â Stella shook her head.
âI can manage it on my own.
The guests will be arriving shortly, and Mr.
Clark needs to attend to them.
â
âItâs no trouble at all.
Iâm familiar with all of Matthewâs guests.

I can keep them engaged.
â Neville waved his hand and reassured her.
As Stella continued to hesitate, Neville added persuasively, âMatthewâs car is right here.
It would save some time if he gives you a ride to the bakery.
â
He gently nudged Matthew, telling him to take a hint.
Matthew grasped the intention behind Nevilleâs gesture and smacked his lips.
âCome on, letâs hurry.
Get in the car.
â
He pivoted around and settled into the driverâs seat.
Meanwhile, Neville assisted in opening the passenger door.
At this point, Stella found it hard to decline and reluctantly stepped into the car.
The car reached the cake shop shortly thereafter.
The shop assistant retrieved the cake and inquired, âSir, maâam, hereâs the cake you requested.
Please confirm the order, and IâUL pack it afterwards.
â
Stella glanced at Matthew and asked in a hushed tone, âSo.
Matthew hummed, nodding.
Stella let out a sigh of relief and then turned to the shop assistant with a smile, saying, âPlease go ahead and pack it for us, and if you could provide a birthday hat as well, that would be wonderful.
Thank you.
