When Love Comes Late

Stella kept her lips sealed and her polite smile unmoved as if she wasn’t being threatened.

Her nonchalance annoyed Vivien even more.

She questioned with her nose flaring, “What’s your name?”

“Her name is Stella Anderson!”

A deep voice suddenly came from the door.

The words Stella wanted to say hung at the tip of her tongue.

The banquet hall instantly became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

All heads turned in the direction the voice came from.

Matthew’s tall figure soon came into people’s view.

The well-ironed suit he had on made him look dashing.

He exuded a strong aura.

Vivien’s face changed at the sight of him.

She rushed to him and said coquettishly, “Thank goodness you are here, Matthew! Look at the remote seat that was assigned to me.

If I sit here, I wouldn’t be able to see you clearly throughout the party.

I want to sit right next to you, okay?”

As she spoke, she reached out to hold his hand.

Matthew dodged easily.

His voice remained deep.

“Changes can’t be made to the sitting arrangement.

If you don’t want to seat here, you might as well use the door.

”

Vivien’s red lips dropped open.

She blinked as if something had just hit her in the face.

The other guests looked at her gloatingly.

Feeling the mocking gazes from all directions, Vivien’s face turned extremely red.

She lowered her head in shame.

Staring at Matthew’s back, Stella breathed a sigh of relief.

Matthew walked away.

After taking his seat, he picked up the pamphlet containing the order of the party and began reading it.

Neville Pierce, who had been following him quietly, relaxed in his chair.

He rested his chin on his hand.

After staring at Matthew for a while, he nudged him.

“Hey, man.

Didn’t your wife return yesterday? Remember you said that you would introduce her to us? Why haven’t you done that? Are you hiding her from us? You don’t want us to meet her anymore?”

Neville glanced at Vivien when he finished speaking.

As a result, he didn’t notice that Matthew’s face darkened and his eyes turned icy.
