Chapter 489
When Love Comes Late
It was a reasonable request, to which Matthew readily consented.
âConsider it done.
â
As night descended, Matthew and Stella made their way back to Seamarsh.
Fairwa was situated on the outskirts, and the streets were relatively deserted with only the occasional passing car beneath the dimly lit streetlamps.
Unlike the city, the air was a little chilly.
On the return journey, Matthew took the wheel once more, resuming the role of the driver.
The car was enveloped in silence.
Stella glanced at her watch and noticed the lateness of the hour.
Concerned that Matthew might grow drowsy, she initiated a conversation to keep him alert.
âMr.
Clark, when did you get into design?â she asked softly.
Matthew pondered briefly before answering, âBefore I returned to the Clark family.
â
âWhy did you decide to learn design?â Stella probed further, intrigued.
As she had been adopted from an orphanage, she had been under Clintâs guidance since a tender age, profoundly influenced by his passion for design.
It was through this early exposure that she developed a budding appreciation for the field, eventually sparking her own interest in design.
As she grew older, she pursued formal education in design by enrolling in a design school, seeking a structured and systematic approach to her passion.
It was likely that she wouldnât have pursued a design education if it hadnât been for her grandfatherâs guidance and mentorship.
Prior to Matthewâs return to the Clark family, both he and Amara faced considerable challenges and difficulties in their lives.
Stella found it difficult to fathom how Matthew could endure hardships and focus on learning amid such circumstances.

Matthew said, âIâm was just interested.
â
It was a brief and to the point.
Stella didnât know how to respond.
Realizing his reply was a bit too curt, he elaborated, âMy mother was always busy working, and I found myself with idle time.
So, I started attending design classes and reading books on the subject.
â
Matthew stopped there.
He didnât tell Stella the part where he worked for other studios to make ends meet.
She didnât need to know this.
Sensing his hardship, Stella felt a pang of empathy.
She also decided to share her experience.
