Chapter 903
When Love Comes Late
After a few seconds of intense staring, Matthew suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard a particularly amusing joke, though his expression remained grim.
After a pause, he spoke slowly.
âStella, you rushed to my company today just for Farrisâ sake?â His voice was cold.
Stella had already guessed the answer, her own tone turning cold as she responded, âSo you did it? Matthew, canât you let go of Farris?
Heâs an excellent doctor and a dear friend of mine.
He shouldnât have been suspended.
â
Stella clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on him.
Matthew didnât expect her to be so serious.
He looked at her indifferently and retorted in a stern tone, âFarris is inconsequential.
He doesnât deserve you to plead for him.
â
Matthew was infuriated by Stellaâs words.
He couldnât believe she would misunderstand him.
âStella, Iâm your husband.
â Matthew sighed, his anger giving way to disappointment.
Stella stared at him, her expression blank at first.
But when she noticed the disappointment in his eyes, her own eyes welled up with tears.
She had come seeking answers, but she hadnât expected the situation to reach such an impasse.
Taking a deep breath, Stella suddenly adopted a resolute stance.
âFarris is my friend.
He didnât make any wrong diagnoses.
Mr.
Clark, you shouldnât have pressured him into resigning.
â
The ironic reference to âMr.
Clarkâ only seemed to further sour Matthewâs mood, and he fixed her with a chilling stare.
Unfazed, Stella met his gaze with pure determination, her eyes reflecting her anger.
Matthew couldnât contain his frustration any longer and erupted in rage.
âStella, Iâve warned you not to associate with Farris again, or youâll regret it.
â His voice resonated through the quiet office, his eyes growing even colder.
Stellaâs expression changed, her eyes filling with disbelief.
Was Matthew admitting that he was responsible for Farrisâ suspension?
Was he the influential figure Aileen had mentioned?
Emotions overwhelmed Stella, and tears welled up as she sobbed, âMatthew, it was really you, wasnât it? How could you do something like this? Youâre so cruel!â
Upon hearing Stellaâs words, Matthewâs eyes instantly turned dark.
He hadnât anticipated that, after spending so much time together, he would appear so cruel in Stellaâs eyes.
He couldnât even hold a candle to Farris, a recent acquaintance.
Could it be that Farris had a history with Stella before?
