When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1186

After completing his tasks, Matthew tossed his phone aside and took a seat in front of Stella.

He gazed at her and asked, “Are you feeling down?”

Stella shook her head.

“No, it’s my first Christmas Eve in your home.

I’m not used to it.

”

Matthew embraced her, stating, “Next Christmas Eve, let’s go to Bysea to visit your grandpa and celebrate with them.

”

Stella rested in his arms, gazing at the night sky without saying a word.

They sat in silence until Stella broke it, “During the last treatment, my memory suggested my mother was still alive.

I don’t know if I can replace her.

”

She sighed, feeling a bit melancholic for some reason.

Matthew lowered his eyes, tightening his hold on Stella.

“As long as your mother is alive, I’ll help you replace her.

”

He cupped Stella’s face, looking at her earnestly, and said, “Promise me, whatever troubles you face in the future, you must tell me.

I’ll help you solve them and protect you always.

”

Stella’s brows furrowed, and her eyelashes quivered, moved by the moment .

After pondering for a bit, she lifted her head, ready to speak, only to be silenced by Matthew’s ki*s.

“Matthew… Wait.

Caught off guard, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Matthew’s neck, seeking support as their lips parted slightly.

Before she could recover, Matthew gently guided her head back down onto the bench, ki*sing her with intensity.

Taking in the scent of her hair, Matthew found himself captivated.

Following a prolonged and passionate ki*s, Stella felt drained of energy.

Her gaze turned hazy, cheeks flushed, lips slightly swollen and adorned with a beautiful hue.

“Why did you suddenly…” She began, but before she could finish, Matthew held her hand, guiding it downward.

As her soft hand encountered the warmth, she hesitated, fingers trembling as she tried to pull her hand out.

Mathew interrupted her efforts with a ki*s.

Stella shut her eyes, cheeks reddening in shyness.

She shot a nervous glance outside and attempted to withdraw her hand, whispering, “Stop, we’re still on the balcony.

People might see us.

”

Yet, Matthew seemed oblivious to her plea.

Eyes shut, he ki*sed her fervently, lost in the moment.
