When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 1871
With a smile, Lindsay waved at Stella, saying, “See you tomorrow.
”
Stella nodded and stepped into the car.
As the car drove away, Stella let out a sigh.
Hearing her sigh, Matthew glanced over and suggested, “If you’re tired, feel free to take a nap.
I’ll let you know once we’re back home.
”
Stella shook her head and offered a helpless smile.
“I’m not tired, just dealing with a headache.
”
She smiled and remarked, “It’s been a while since I’ve encountered someone as energetic as Lindsay.
It’s a bit overwhelming.
Perhaps I’m just getting old.
”
As she spoke, Stella couldn’t shake the thought that she’d never heard of Lindsay from Matthew before.
He hadn’t even mentioned her or invited her to their wedding.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked, “Since she’s like your sister, why didn’t we invite her to our wedding? We should have at least sent her an invitation.
”
Matthew replied, “I’m not very familiar with her.
”
Stella fell silent.
That was Matthew’s typical behavior.
He explained, “About a year after I returned to the Clark family, Grandpa sent her abroad.
We didn’t have much opportunity to spend time together…”
Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled something and stopped.
Stella was completely absorbed in Matthew’s explanation when he suddenly stopped.
Compelled by curiosity, she urged, “Why don’t you continue?”
Coming back to the present, Matthew paused thoughtfully before revealing, “When I first returned to the Clark family, my grandfather encouraged me to pursue my studies relentlessly.
During those late nights, my grandmother would prepare midnight snacks for me.
If it was too late, she’d send Lindsay with the food.
One night, Lindsay had an accident on her way back and was seriously injured.
”
His voice dropped, a frown creasing his forehead.
Stella hadn’t expected such a revelation, and it left her feeling profoundly mixed emotions.
Matthew, despite his cold exterior, was fundamentally a warm-hearted man.
Stella knew he carried a burden of guilt, even if he said nothing.
She nodded slightly, her voice firm with resolve.
“I will treat her as my own sister.
If she needs anything, I’ll do my best to help.
”
Matthew looked at her and clarified, “I shared this with you not because I expect you to act on it, but because I don’t want to keep secrets from you.
Don’t feel burdened.
You are my wife, but that doesn’t mean you have to shoulder all Clark family responsibilities with me.
”
Hearing Matthew’s tender voice, warmth flooded Stella’s heart.
She looked at him earnestly and shook her head gently.
“It’s never a burden to me.
Being your wife, I want to share in everything with you, not just in work, but in life’s responsibilities as well.
”
Matthew pulled Stella close and ki*sed her softly.
“It’s my fortune to have married you.
”
That night, Elizabeth found herself locked in her room, feeling dizzy and in pain.
Despite her condition, neither Bella nor Kristian had called a doctor to attend to her wounds.
