Chapter 920
When Love Comes Late
The misunderstandings and conflicts of the past seemed to fade away in this moment.
They were just an ordinary couple, and he cherished the tranquility they shared.
After Stella finished speaking, Matthew reassured her, âDonât be too anxious.
Youâve already designed a dress for Mrs.
Burke, and she publicly praised your work.
Mia also recognizes your talent, so have confidence in your abilities.
â
Stella looked down, lost in thought.
Matthew was about to say something more.
However, his attention was diverted when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Frowning, he turned around to find Leslie Aguilar, Mateoâs daughter.
Quickly, he lowered the phone to prevent her from appearing on the screen.
âMy apologies for interrupting.
I poured you a glass of milk.
Would you like to have some?â Leslie asked gently, holding a glass of milk.

âNo, thank you,â Matthew declined abruptly.
âIâm on a call.
Is there something you need?â
Leslie disregarded his refusal and persisted.
âIâll leave the milk in the living room.
Please remember to drink it when youâre finished with your call.
â
With that, she turned and entered the room.
Matthew, appearing uninterested, shifted his attention back to the phone, but Stellaâs face was no longer on the screen.
âI heard a girlâs voice just now.
Who was that?â Stellaâs voice carried a note of discontent.
Matthew pondered for a moment and replied vaguely, âSheâs a clientâs daughter.
â
âThen come back soon.
I need to work on the sketch,â Stella muttered in a subdued tone before abruptly ending the call.
As Stella was about to put her phone away, a message from Matthew appeared on the screen.
âIâve returned to the hotel.
Iâll come back to be with you as soon as possible.
â
After reading the message, Stella hesitated for a few seconds and simply replied with a âgood night.
â She then activated the âDo Not Disturbâ mode on her phone and went to bed.
The next day arrived.
Stella, accompanied by Kay, the assistant provided by Blue Flame, made their way to the Seamarsh Theater, which was set to host various shows.
The venue had already been beautifully decorated, and Stella hoped to draw inspiration from the surroundings.
Upon reaching the theater, Stella and Kay engaged in conversation while making their way inside, oblivious to the fact that a black car had been tailing them throughout their journey.
