When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1233

Matthew gave her a serious look.

“It’s simple.

Prosperity Group doesn’t hire domestic abusers.

”

“Domestic abusers?” Stella’s voice got louder.

“Are you telling me? Besty’s husband is violent at home?”

She couldn’t believe it.

Besty and her husband seemed so loving today, and Felipe looked like a good man.

Was he really an abuser?

Matthew nodded and said, “We do thorough checks.

Turns out, Besty called the cops three times about Felipe hurting her, but it led nowhere.

”

Stella felt a cold shiver.

She couldn’t believe Felipe was like that.

Remembering how calm Besty had been earlier, she worried more for her friend.

“What should I do then?” she asked Matthew.

Matthew shook his head.

“You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.

”

Stella sighed, understanding what he meant.

If Besty wouldn’t stand up for herself, she would always be under Felipe’s thumb.

Nobody could change that.

But as Besty’s friend, the idea of doing nothing hurt Stella deeply.

Seeing what she was thinking, Matthew couldn’t stop her.

He warned her, “You can try to help her, but be really careful for your own safety.

”

At Prosper Bay, Stella, fresh from her bath, found Matthew in bed watching the news.

She slipped under the covers and cuddled up to him.

Matthew put away the tablet, covered them both, and gently patted her back.

Snuggled in his arms, Stella closed her eyes.

Matthew looked down at her, a small smile on his face, and softly ki*sed her forehead.

Matthew was about to stand when Stella’s eyes fluttered open and a mischievous grin widened her lips.

She wrapped her arms around him, nuzzled against him, and whispered to him, “I want you today.

”

Her lips moved from his neck to his lips.

Unable to resist her teasing, Matthew’s embrace tightened, and his ki*ses deepened.

Their bedroom light was still on, illuminating the room.

Their breaths both grew labored, and the room seemed to grow hotter.

Stella’s hands were on his back, her fingernails pressing against his skin.

Matthew’s hands moved to her breast, and he skillfully unhooked her bra.

His touch on her breast drew an involuntary moan from Stella.
