When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1957

She looked up at him and blinked her beautiful eyes a few times.

Bennett frowned and broke free from her grip.

“Wait here for a moment.

I have something urgent to talk to Matthew about Stella.

”

As soon as Joann heard Stella’s name, the jealousy in her heart was reignited.

She was even more unwilling to let him go.

She lied casually, “Stella sent a message to Lindsay just now, asking her to look for Matthew.

Lindsay is with him now.

Besides, it’s our engagement party.

Why do you have to worry about the matters of the Clark family? Even if something happens to Stella, Matthew will definitely handle it well.

”

Bennett looked in the direction where Matthew stood.

Indeed, Lindsay was with him.

He didn’t doubt Joann’s words anymore.

When Joann noticed this, she held his arm again and said, “Don’t worry about them anymore.

Our engagement party is about to begin.

The guests are all waiting for us.

”

Bennett thought for a while.

Then, he nodded and said, “Okay.

”

He didn’t insist on going to Matthew.

But he said to her, “Please don’t forget to tell Lindsay that Stella has choked on water and is resting in the lounge behind the banquet hall now.

Since Bennett didn’t suspect her, a glimmer of joy flashed through her eyes.

Judging from the current situation, Lindsay would soon succeed.

Meanwhile, Lindsay picked up a glass of wine from a waiter’s tray and handed it to Matthew.

Without thinking much, he accepted the glass and took a sip.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

When he didn’t see Stella, he frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

Lindsay looked at the wine glass in Matthew’s hand.

Her eyes darkened.

She made eye contact with the waiter and instantly returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

She deliberately looked at the people dancing on the dance floor enviously, turned to Matthew, and said sweetly, “Matthew, I just came back from abroad, and I don’t have many friends here except for Joann.

If Stella doesn’t like to dance, can you dance with me instead?”

After saying this, she looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew didn’t say anything.

He took out his phone and called Stella.

But to his dismay, she didn’t answer.

His frown deepened.

He put down the glass and was about to leave.

Success was within Lindsay’s reach.

So, how could she let Matthew leave?

She quickly grabbed his arm and pretended to be concerned.

“Matthew, you don’t look well.

Is something wrong with you? Is there any way I can help?”

Lindsay felt Matthew’s body temperature, and she couldn’t help feelin
