Chapter 796
When Love Comes Late
âWhat is it?â she asked, allowing her hand to rest in his.
With a firmer grasp, Matthew spoke in a voice tinged with gravitas and allure.
âIt appears my wife has become quite the busy woman.
Busier than me, even.
â
His playful tone amused Stella.
She tiptoed and whispered into Matthewâs ear, âIâm just trying to catch up with you.
â
Just as she was about to step back, Matthewâs hand moved to her waist, pulling her closer.
âWeâre still in public,â Stella reminded him, noticing Matthewâs unblinking gaze on her.
In a sober tone, Matthew said, âAlways remember, thereâs only a height difference between us.
â
There was never a difference in status.
Stella absorbed the depth of his words, feeling the indescribable warmth flood her heart.
That evening, as Stella was preparing for bed, she received an email from Matthew.
Clicking it open, she found a video attachment.
Her expression turned from confusion to horror as she watched.
The video was of an exhibition, at the heart of which was a dress.
It was a striking mirror image of her own design after Eloise had asked her for revisions.

Stella couldnât believe her eyes.
Just as she was about to double- check, her phone buzzed with an incoming call.
Upon recognizing Matthewâs mame on the screen, she answered it hastily.
âIs the information in the video accurate?â
âYes,â Matthew responded.
âThe creator of this design has been deceased for quite some time.
This was his final masterpiece.
â
Stellaâs heart skipped a beat at the revelation.
Matthew went on to explain, âItâs not that Dulce couldnât hire a top-tier designer.
It seems sheâs specifically targeting you.
From the look of the design sketch, she mustâve known the dress would be a hit.
If no one discovers the truth, sheâll gain even more fame with this creation.
And if she gets caught, she can feign ignorance.
After all, youâre the lead designer.
â
Color drained from Stellaâs face and her hands grew cold.
