When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1071

Amara’s eyes betrayed a flicker of embarrassment at the mention of her son.

She hadn’t yet disclosed her new relationship to Matthew.

“I figure out a way,” she said firmly.

The moment she finished her sentence, she was struck by a harsh slap from Wilbert.

The sharp sting on her cheek came as a shock, leaving her utterly stunned.

Never in her wildest thoughts had she imagined Wilbert would resort to slap her.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she held her reddened cheek.

Wilbert was jolted to sobriety by the sound of her crying.

When he realized what he had done, he panicked.

“I’m sorry, Amara.

I’m a fool.

I’m not in my senses.

It won’t happen again, I promise.

” Wilbert reached out, touching Amara’s shoulders to comfort her.

But Amara was inconsolable, offering no response to his apologies.

“I’m so sorry.

Please, don’t cry.

” Wilbert was annoyed by her crying, but he had to be patient.

Seeing that Amara remained unresponsive, Wilbert grasped her hand and started hitting his face with it.

“Hit me if it’ll make you feel better.

I was wrong, Amara.

I’m sorry.

I didn’t realize what I was doing.

Please, let your anger out on me.

However, Amara recoiled, pulling her hand away.

She had no desire to retaliate.

“I’m truly sorry,” Wilbert said earnestly.

“Let me see if your face is hurt.

Amara shook her head as she locked eyes with him.

“Don’t drink too much, and never hit me again.

“I promise!” Wilbert immediately agreed.

In that tense moment, Amara’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID to see Matthew’s name displayed, causing her expression to change.

“Who’s calling? Why aren’t you answering it?” Wilbert asked as he leaned in, trying to peek at Amara’s phone.

Sensing his intrusion, Amara quickly stood up, distancing herself from the sofa.

She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and gestured to Wilbert for silence.

“Please, stay quiet.

I need to take this call.
