Chapter 97
When Love Comes Late
Seeing as he had no issues with teaching herâ¦â
After a pause, Neville added, feeling aggrieved, âBesides, the look he gave me when I offered to teach Stella scared the shit out of me.
Anyone who saw his glare would have thought I attempted to snatch his wife.
â
Neville was so caught up in what he was saying that he didnât notice the murderous glare Matthew was giving him now.
âStella is so beautiful.
Iâm thinking of chasing her.
Maybe we could-â
âGet your mind out of the gutter!â Matthew interrupted with annoyance.
âWhatâs wrong with me?â Neville gestured at his body.
âIâm tall, handsome, rich, and single.
I am basically every womanâs dream man.
Why canât I chase her?â
âSheâs not to be chased!â Matthew fired again.
Neville chuckled.
âLook, heâs getting all worked up again.

Matthew tut-tutted before explaining, âDonât get me wrong.
Stella is a capable employee.
She has been of great help to me.
â
âUh-huh!â Neville and Cordell exchanged sarcastic looks and then squinted at Matthew.
Matthew was also lost in thought.
He was aware that Stella was married, happily married at that.
Even if he got divorced now, he couldnât be with her.
Was it true that he had a crush on her?
The more Matthew thought about it, the more confused he became.
He frowned deeply in the end.
Love hadnât been in his books for many years.
He was so busy with other things that he didnât think of falling for someone else.
The only reason why he agreed to get married was to make his grandmother feel at ease so she could get off his back.
He didnât expect to be loved or give love.
All he wanted in this marriage was that his wife behaved herself.
But it just so happened that his simple wish was too much to ask.
As for Stellaâ¦
Matthewâs eyes deepened.
