Chapter 731
When Love Comes Late
âIs it actually true? Is Stella Matthewâs spouse? The elusive wife weâve only heard rumors about?â
âIt must be! Matthew announced it for all to hear.
But when did Stella even meet him?â
âConsidering Stellaâs background, how did the Clark family consent to this union?â
âWe should keep quiet.
Didnât you catch Matthewâs warning earlier?â
Stella stared at Matthew in disbelief.
During her time working for him, she knew he preferred to keep his life private low-key, much more his marriage.
She had assumed he would never publicly disclose such personal matters.
Stellaâs lips still tingled.
Recollections of todayâs happenings flashed through her mind, igniting a whirlpool of emotions.
She was unsure if it was because Matthew had made an exception for her, or for some other reason.
She tugged on Matthewâs sleeve and whispered, âLetâs go.
â
Matthew lowered his head, tucking a few loose strands of hair behind Stellaâs ear, and held her waist firmly.
âIâll take you home.
â
Stella nodded, allowing him to lead her away.
Inside the car, Matthew spotted her reddened, swollen forehead, and his expression turned grim.
He gently wiped her hair with a wet wipe, cleaning the stains from her face, anger simmering in his eyes.
He navigated around her injury with meticulous care, fearful of causing her pain.
Stella dared not move, but Matthew was seemingly taking his time.

Perhaps it was their proximity or the confined space, but sweat formed on her back, and breathing became difficult.
As Stellaâs eyes lifted to meet Matthewâs, a shiver ran through her.
His gaze was soft yet intense, almost as if he had the power to draw her into his world.
Subconsciously, she lowered her gaze and grasped Matthewâs hand.
âIâ¦
I can do it myself.
â
Matthew frowned slightly but reassured her in a soft tone, âDonât move.
You canât see the injured area.
This will be over quickly.
â
He gently removed Stellaâs hand, leaving her no reason to protest.
