Chapter 739
When Love Comes Late
Bathed in the ethereal glow of the moonlight, his handsome visage was even more striking, and his eyes sparkled with a disarming charm.
He had an uncanny ability to impart a comforting sense of security and understanding.
A quiver ran through Stellaâs heart.
She realized that if she remained there any longer, she might succumb to the love he offered.
Snapping back to reality, she averted her gaze and said hastily, âIâve left some food for you in the kitchen.
If youâre hungry, feel free to eat.
Iâm going to rest now.
â
Without waiting for a response, she made a hasty exit.
Matthew remained motionless, his eyes following Stella as she retreated.
A smile graced his lips.
When he later entered the dining room and saw the food Stella had prepared for him, that smile widened.
As he savored the meal, the thought of Stella resting upstairs filled him with a sense of peace.
Once, living with her had been a mere dream, but now it was the reality.
Memories of Stellaâs shyness danced in his mind as he relished the last bites of her delicious cooking.
He ate his plate clean.
Just as he placed the utensils down, his phone buzzed to life.
The screen displayed Fernandoâs name.
Matthew frowned.
It must be urgent for Fernando to call at such a time.
The moment he answered, Fernandoâs voice came through, tinged with urgency and gravity.
âMr.
Clark, something bad happened to the Fairwa project!â
Stella awoke to daylight streaming through her windows.

After freshening up, she stepped out of her room and noticed Matthewâs door slightly ajar.
She peeked inside, finding it empty.
A sense of unease nestled in her chest as she descended the staircase to find Erin busy in the kitchen.
âMrs.
Clark.
â Erin greeted Stella, nodding respectfully.
Stella returned the nod and inquired, âHave you seen Matthew this morning?â
âNo.
Isnât he in his room? I havenât seen him yet.
â
Confusion furrowed Stellaâs brow.
She pulled out her phone.
There was still no message from Matthew.
