Chapter 942
When Love Comes Late
What Matthew said made sense to Stella.
Matthew then reached out, gently pinched her cheek, and said with a smile, âBesides, you are her designer.
Her assistant can take care of it.
You donât have to worry about her.
Letâs have our meal.
â
Stella smiled back at him before sitting down.
As soon as she sat down, the waiter brought their food.
Stella dug in, forgetting what had just happened.
Matthew put down his fork and stared at Stella.
Stella noticed him staring at her and grew shy.
Blushing, she put down her fork and asked, âWhy are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?â
Her hand moved to her face, but Matthew stopped her and held her hand tightly, and his rough thumb caressed the back of her hand.
âWhatâs wrong?â Stella asked.
Her hand began to itch, and she tried to pull it away.

However, Matthew tightened his grip and wouldnât let go.
She tried several more times, all to no avail.
âStella,â Matthew called in a soft voice.
His gentle demeanor made Stella blush even more.
Staring intently at her, Matthew said, âOur anniversary is coming up soon.
I want to do one thing.
â
âWhat do you want us to do?â she asked curiously.
In a solemn tone, Matthew said, âI want to officially make your identity as my wife public.
â
Stellaâs heart skipped a beat.
âIt was delayed before, and I didnât handle things properly afterwards.
â Matthew felt guilty.
If the public had known, Alina would not have doubted when he told her that Stella was his wife.
âItâs all my fault.
Iâll make sure it happens this time,â Matthew promised.
After composing herself, Stella asked, âIs this because of Alina?â
âNo.
This has been on my mind for a while,â Matthew said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose outside the restaurant.
One of the voices involved sounded like Alinaâs voice.
Stella looked at Matthew with worry written all over her face.
âWhatâs going on? We should go have a look.
