When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1027

With that, he made a swift exit.

Stella, still processing the abrupt departure, found herself suddenly swept onto Matthew’s lap.

He ki*sed her gently, his breath warm against her lips.

“You’re an incredible wife, always there to help.

I might start feeling insecure at this rate,” he joked, his gaze admiring.

Stella, composed and confident, was undeniably alluring in every aspect.

Matthew caressed her face, leaning in for another ki*s.

Stella, caught in the moment, couldn’t help but smile at his words.

“So, is this how you plan to thank me for helping with the negotiation?” she asked softly.

Matthew’s deep blue eyes gazed into hers, his touch gentle on her face.

His look was intense and full of affection.

“Matthew, that tickles.

” Stella playfully dodged, but Matthew’s embrace was firm, bringing them even closer.

“And how should I thank you?” Matthew asked, his voice low and filled with lust.

Before Stella could respond, Matthew pulled her in for another, deeper ki*s.

As Stella regained her senses, she instinctively tried to pull away, but Matthew’s embrace was firm.

She felt his strength and gradually ceased her efforts, remaining quietly in his arms as they drew closer.

Matthew’s ki*ses were intense, not releasing her until she was almost breathless.

“No.

You shouldn’t.

Stella murmured after regaining her composure.

She pushed against him, her hands on her chest, her face flushed and her eyes misty.

“We can’t do this here.

It’s not appropriate.

”

“Why not?” Matthew’s voice was low and husky.

“I’ve booked this room.

We can stay here tonight.

”

Stella looked down, her hands resting on his chest, attempting to move away.

Yet, her hands were firmly held by his.

Matthew leaned in close, their foreheads touching.

“Why not?”
