When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1100

Images of Evelyn’s smiles and frowns replayed in his mind, lingering long.

His main purpose in returning to Seamarsh was to bury Evelyn’s ashes here.

Seamarsh was Evelyn’s hometown, a place she knew well and loved.

In his life, the two women he felt he failed the most were his mother and Evelyn.

Ever since he met Evelyn and they fell in love, he never let her have a moment’s peace.

Tragically, her life ended miserably because of him.

For years, he lived with regret and self-blame.

Why had he failed to protect her? Why wasn’t he the one to die?

These questions haunted him, unanswered.

His drive for revenge was the only thing that kept him going all these years.

Yet, every night, he was tormented by nightmares where Evelyn appeared, drenched in blood.

She was never the one meant to die.

After finishing his drink, Benny staggered into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face, which helped him sober up a bit.

He gazed at his reflection in the mirror, a sad smile on his Lips.

His features, somewhat resembling Matthew’s, seemed to morph into Matthew’s own as he looked on.

His eyes then flared with a dark, vengeful light.

He silently vowed to strip Matthew of everything dear to him.

Shaking off these thoughts, Benny leaned on the wall for support and left the bathroom.

Opening the door, he accidentally bumped into a man.

The man scowled and demanded an apology.

Benny brushed off the man and tried to walk away.

“Damn it!” The man was fuming.

He lunged forward and punched Benny, who was too drunk to stand firm, knocking him to the floor.

“I wanted an apology.

What’s with that face?”

Benny struggled to rise, but his drunken state made it impossible.

The man’s fists relentlessly struck Benny’s face and body.

Eventually, the man paused, a mocking smirk on his face as he stood up.

Gazing down at Benny, curled up in pain on the floor, he scoffed and kicked him again.

“Pathetic.

You shouldn’t even be here with the rest of us!”

He then walked away.
