Chapter 966
When Love Comes Late
Frowning, Matthew pulled Stella close, shielding her eyes from the Lights with one hand while embracing her with the other.
Their bodyguards swiftly intervened, blocking the cameras and microphones, escorting them away from the press.
Though the reporters didnât get answers, Matthewâs protective actions spoke volumes.
âIt seems Mr.
Clark genuinely cares for Stella.
There is no business arrangement.

âTheyâre a perfect match in appearance, physique, and demeanor, unmatched by anyone else.
â
âFurthermore, Stellaâs talent shines.
Her design for Alina surpasses other famous designersâ works.
Sheâs truly successful in every aspect-talented, beautiful, with a wealthy husband.
â
Despite the bodyguardsâ efforts, the slow exit allowed these compliments to reach Stellaâs ears, easing her nerves.
Feeling a reassuring touch in her palm, Stella glanced down to see Matthew holding her hand firmly, offering a comforting expression.
Grateful for Matthewâs care and unwavering support from the start, Stella smiled, reciprocating the tight hold on his hand.
When Stella reached home, a message from Alina arrived.
âGreat collaboration.
Hope for more in the future.
â
In a distant country-Dorburn-though the ceremony in Seamarsh ended, it replayed online.
A middle-aged woman, fixated on Alinaâs dress, dialed a number.
âBella?â The person on the Line seemed surprised by the unexpected call.
Getting straight to the point, Bella asked, âMia, who was behind Alinaâs dress design?â
Mia replied honestly, âIt was by a newbie, Stella Anderson.
Why do you ask?â
She was surprised that Bella, a top designer, took interest despite Stellaâs outstanding work.
Bella held a prestigious position as one of the foremost designers in Dorburn and globally.
Her designs had the power to ignite instant buzz within the design and fashion realms, dictating the current seasonâs design trends.
Her creations fetched top bids at exclusive auctions, commanding exorbitant prices.
Until now, only a select few had the privilege of commissioning her for design work.
Why would someone of such high stature take notice of Stella?
Mia remained bewildered as Bella asked, âIs she collaborating with Blue Flame?â
Mia answered quickly, âYes.
â
As Alina vanished from the screen, Bella mused, âStella Anderson.
â
She turned from the screen, smiling.
