When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1105

Sensing her discomfort, Matthew reassured her with a comforting smile.

Then, addressing the servant, he said, “Open the door.

If my grandfather disapproves, I’ll take responsibility.

”

The servant, having no rebuttal, reluctantly opened the door to let them inside.

Lucia was sipping coffee in the living room, frowning slightly upon seeing Amara.

Despite the displeasure on Lucia’s face, Amara greeted her respectfully.

Lucia remained silent, her disapproval evident.

Undeterred, Matthew intervened to diffuse the tension.

“Grandma, I brought my mom to see you and Grandpa.

”

He scanned the room and noticed Waldo’s absence.

“Where is he?”

Lucia’s gaze shifted away from Amara as she responded, “He’s resting upstairs.

If you wish to see him, wait here in the living room.

Take a seat.

”

Though the invitation was directed at Amara, she hesitated to sit.

Matthew pressed for more information, asking, “What’s wrong with him?

Is he not feeling well?”

Waldo’s daily routine was pretty predictable.

He rose early and never stayed up late unless he wasn’t feeling well.

“A lot’s been going on lately.

His old health issue has cropped up again.

The doctor said he needs rest,” Lucia shared honestly.

“You might not get to see him today.

”

Matthew gave a small nod.

“Then we’ll wait for a while.

”

Lucia said nothing and headed upstairs.

She knew Amara wasn’t at fault; she had been manipulated by others.

But knowing and accepting were two different things.

Matthew and Amara waited downstairs for a while but didn’t catch a glimpse of Waldo.

Checking the time, Matthew asked, “Mom, should we head back today and try another day?”
