When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1129

tella’s heart raced.

When he finally released her, she looked at him, her expression dreamy and lost.

“Can we do it tonight?” Matthew’s voice was low and rough.

Stella blushed deeply and looked down, too shy to respond.

Taking her silence as agreement, Matthew was overjoyed.

He lifted her in his arms and hurried upstairs.

In the bedroom, Stella clung tightly to him, feeling the strength of his back.

They were intimate repeatedly throughout the night.

Eventually, overwhelmed, she softly pleaded for him to stop.

“Stella…” In a daze, she faintly heard his hoarse voice.

“I’ll never betray you.

We’ll always be together.

Lilji was a small town on the south of Seamarsh.

Benny found a temporary residence.

That evening, following his conversation with Flossie, he had requested her to arrange his stay here.

Lilji was more than just a place to him.

It was a reservoir of past memories, each echoing in his mind.

He was racing against time, needing to settle some unfinished business before Matthew could track him down.

The caller was unknown.

Benny, eyeing the screen, felt no urge to answer.

The phone ceased ringing briefly, only to start again seconds later.

Whoever was on the other end seemed determined, unwilling to relent until the call was answered.

After a moment of contemplation, Benny relented and pressed the answer button, choosing silence over words, waiting for the caller to break the ice.

A woman’s voice emerged from the other end, brisk and to the point.

“I’m Leslie.

At the mention of her name, Benny’s expression tightened, and it took him a few moments to remember her.

She was the woman he had met at a bar recently.

Leslie was a part of his plan, a pawn intended to drive a wedge between Matthew and Stella.

But subsequent events had nearly derailed his initial strategy, leaving Benny still searching for an opportunity to act.

“Is that you, Benny?” Leslie’s voice cut through Benny’s thoughts.

“Yeah, what’s up?” he answered in a casual tone.

Leslie, slightly soothed by his familiar, raspy voice, pressed on, “You promised to help me, remember? How could you go back on your word? Stella’s meeting my dad for therapy tomorrow.

Matthew will be free then.

It’s the perfect chance.

You have to help me.

Her patience was wearing thin.

Leslie was still fuming over Stella’s smugness that night.

It had kept her awake for nights.
