When Love Comes Late

During the drive, Robin omitted details that would reflect poorly on him and instead exaggerated the situation to Matthew.

“I was discussing the sales channel with Stella, and unexpectedly, she started drinking with Jack.

They seemed to enjoy their drinks together.

”

Robin kept the conversation going.

“Thinking about Stella’s ties with the Clark family, I tried to convince her to return, but she flatly refused.

Later, she ended up drinking too much.

Before long, a man approached and led Stella away in front of everyone.

To those unfamiliar, he might have appeared to be her husband.

”

Lindsay rebuked him sharply.

“You’re an adult.

How could you just stand by and let him take her? It was late.

What impression did that make?”

“What could I do? They seemed so close.

What if they were just friends? Besides, Stella left with him without any hesitation,” Robin protested, sounding wronged.

Together, he and Lindsay put on a convincing act.

Still, Matthew kept his silence.

Lindsay tried to gauge his reaction, but his thoughts were unreadable.

Not knowing what was on Matthew’s mind, she chose to remain silent.

Eventually, the car stopped in front of a villa.

Robin maneuvered Lindsay’s wheelchair as he walked behind Matthew.

At the doorstep, Matthew pressed the doorbell.

After a short pause, the door swung open from the inside.

Upon seeing the scene in front of him, Matthew’s face subtly shifted.

Sanford stood there, his hair damp and donned in a bathrobe with the collar undone, exposing his damp chest.

Spotting Matthew, he raised an eyebrow and asked with a slight smirk, “Mr.

Clark, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

Matthew didn’t utter a word, only giving Sanford a frosty stare.

Robin, oblivious to the brewing tension, kept fanning the flames.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He pointed at Sanford and accused boldly, “Yes! He’s the one who took Stella.

”

He then started maligning Stella.

“Stella’s so carefree.

She’s already chasing after another man and she isn’t even divorced yet.

”

Matthew’s brow furrowed, signaling his growing irritation.

Seeing this, Lindsay patted Robin’s arm and scolded him.

“Quiet! Stella is like my sister-in-law.

You’ve stirred up quite the mess.

How could you speak about her in such a manner?”
