Chapter 872
When Love Comes Late
Alright, Iâll listen to you.
â
He held Stella even closer and promised, âFrom now on, Iâll be completely honest with you.
I wonât do anything to make you angry.
â
Stellaâs anger had already melted away the moment she heard that he was hurt.
At that moment, all she cared about was Matthewâs safety.
She held him tightly and rested her head against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
She felt relieved and touched.
âOkay.
â
Matthew gently loosened his embrace and said, âIâm going to wash up.
â
Stella reminded him, âBe careful not to let water touch your wounds.
â
Matthew agreed and headed upstairs.

Stella picked up the suit jacket he had tossed aside and was about to follow him when his phone in his pocket vibrated.
It was already early in the morning.
Why would someone message Matthew at this hour?
Worried that it might be an emergency at work, Stella retrieved his phone and saw a message on the screen.
âAre you asleep?â
The name displayed was Selene Beckett.
âSelene Beckett?â Stella whispered, her curiosity piqued.
Clearly, Selene was a woman.
Stella couldnât recall anyone by that name among the senior executives of Prosperity Group.
Who was this mysterious woman? Why was she messaging Matthew so late at night?
Stella glanced upstairs, pondering her options.
Instead of getting lost in unfounded speculation, it would be wiser to confront Matthew.
With determination, Stella made her way upstairs and gently pushed open the door to Matthewâs room.
The sound of running water resounding from the bathroom.
As Stella entered, her phone buzzed once more, another message from Selene.
âIf youâre still awake, letâs discuss when you can visit my clinic.
The word âclinicâ caught Stellaâs attention, and she frowned.
