When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1053

“Let’s put a pause on it.

Keep it a secret for now.

”

Now that Benny had made a reappearance and grabbed his attention, it was clear the he was well prepared.

In this current setup, Benny was in the shadows while he was in the clear, a lot more vulnerable.

Making any impulsive moves would only rub Benny the wrong way, and the fallout could be consequential.

Fernando, not fully understanding why Matthew was on high alert, decided to obey.

“Alright.

”

Matthew closed the file and tossed it onto the table.

“You’re good to go.

”

Seeing Matthew wanted some alone time, Fernando gave a nod and made his exit.

The office sank back into silence.

Matthew laced his fingers, lost in thought.

Dealing with this sudden reappearance of a potential brother wasn’t letting him replace any peace.

This bombshell, once detonated, would send shockwaves through the entire Clark family.

And Matthew was dead set on preventing that.

Easing his grip, he focused on the document, his gaze turning ice-cold.

When Matthew finally left Prosperity Group, the clock had already struck midnight.

He hadn’t eaten a thing all day, and the medicine’s effect had worn off.

Enduring the discomfort, he steered his way back to Prosper Bay.

As he pulled into Prosper Bay, his palms were a bit sweaty, and a thin l

ayer of sweat formed on his forehead.

His consciousness started to get fuzzy.

He stepped out of the car and took a few seconds to gather himself.

That was when he noticed a silhouette in the distance-a woman standing at the door with her back to him.

His mind a bit scattered, Matthew made out the woman’s back and recognized her as Stella.

A surge of joy overcame him.

Ignoring his discomfort, he took a step forward and said, “Stella…”

The woman turned around.

As Matthew caught sight of her face, he halted, his expression instantly darkening.

“Leslie? Why are you here so late at night?”

Leslie’s smile froze, but just for a moment.

She quickly adjusted and said with a smile, “Matthew, I noticed your condition in the elevator earlier.

I’m genuinely concerned.

I asked my father to prescribe some medicine for you.

Give it a shot.

If it helps, we can continue the treatment.
