Chapter 543
When Love Comes Late
âMr.
Clark, we can leave now.
â
âNo rush.
â Matthew stopped her, turning to the dining room.
âYou havenât had lunch yet.
I can wait.
â
Flattered, Stella inquired, âHave you eaten, Mr.
Clark? Would you like to join me? These dishes were prepared by my grandfather.
â
Matthew seemed to anticipate her invitation and accepted graciously.
âIâd be delighted to sample your grandfatherâs cooking.
â
He pulled out a chair and took a seat.
Stella was astonished, not only by his warmth in referring to her grandfather but also by his relaxed demeanor.
âWhat are you waiting for? Letâs eat.
â Matthew reminded her.
Snapping out of her reverie, Stella set the table and joined him.
After the meal, they left.
As Matthew exited the house, he texted Clint.
âThank you for allowing us the time alone.
Stella will return safely this evening.
â
After sending the message, he slid into the car and drove away.
They reached the harbor where Fernando was already waiting.
âFernando?â Stella was surprised.

If Fernando was here, why did Matthew come to fetch her personally?
Fernando simply nodded and handed them life jackets.
âMr.
Clark, please put this on.
The yacht is ready.
â
Stella, eyeing the yacht at the dock, asked, âMr.
Clark, where are we going?â
âPearl Island,â Matthew responded indifferently while donning his life jacket.
âItâs rich in pearls and is part of Prosperity Groupâs future projects.
As the design director, you need to take a look.
Itâs also a chance for you to unwind.
â
Matthew stood in front of Stella, holding the life jacket.
