When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1322

“Okay.

” Stella agreed, acknowledging her fatigue.

Once the driver and bodyguards returned and resumed their journey, an unexpected jolt near Prosper Bay forced the car to a sharp stop, prompting the driver’s immediate apology.

“My apologies, Mrs.

Clark.

Are you hurt?”

Despite feeling unwell, Stella dismissed the concern with a shake of her head.

“I’m fine.

”

However, upon exiting the car at the villa’s entrance, dizziness overwhelmed her.

Luka’s quick reflexes prevented her from collapsing.

“Are you sure you’re alright?” he asked, steadying her.

Stella was on the verge of pushing Luka away when another bout of nausea overwhelmed her.

She bent over, caught in the grip of dry heaves.

Luka, seeing her struggle, lifted her into his arms without hesitation.

“What are you doing? Put me down,” Stella protested, her voice laced with surprise at his sudden action.

She made a feeble attempt to break free from his hold, worried about the misunderstandings their current position might spark if seen by others.

Unfazed by her protest, Luka continued walking.

“You’re barely able to stand.

Stop making a fuss.

”

Stella ceased her attempts to escape, struck silent by his observation.

Luka, with a subtle smile, carried her inside the house.

He set her down on the sofa and went to get her a glass of water.

After taking a sip, Stella felt a bit of relief from her discomfort.

She looked up at Luka.

“It’s late, and you’ve got work tomorrow.

You should go.

”

Luka’s expression briefly showed his reluctance to leave, but he quickly masked it.

He paused, looking at her with a mix of concern and insistence.

“I’ll take you to your room to make sure you’re okay.

Then I’ll leave.

”

Stella attempted to object, but Luka’s insistence overrode her protests.

“As your friend, it wouldn’t be right to leave without ensuring you’re safe.

What if something happened to you on the stairs?”

With no ground to argue, Stella could only agree, albeit reluctantly.

Soon after, she found herself in her bedroom, where sleep quickly claimed her.

Luka remained by her side as she succumbed to sleep, quietly turning off the lights before he tiptoed out of the room.
