When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1403

Fernando phoned Matthew.

This was unacceptable to her.

Elizabeth glared at the book, picturing Stella’s smug face, anger brewing in her eyes.

Elizabeth, already miffed, snapped, “Beat it!”

But the door swung open anyway, and in strolled Kristian.

Seeing his phony grin made Elizabeth’s skin crawl even more.

“Leave!”

Ignoring her, Kristian plunked a tray on the table, saying, “The maid said you haven’t eaten all day.

Here’s dinner.

Eat up.

Every time he brought up their “family,” it felt Like a cruel joke to her.

“Get to the point,” Elizabeth snapped, her patience wearing thin.

But Kristian, unfazed by Elizabeth’s sass, just grinned wider.
