When Love Comes Late
Chapter 20

“I see that Vivien is hell-bent on being a pest.

If you had brought your wife here, you would have passed a clear message to her.

”

Neville sucked his teeth.

Matthew closed the pamphlet and regained his usual indifference.

“My wife has a lot on her plate right now.

”

The last thing he wanted to do now was talk about his marriage which was about to end.

Besides, Neville had a big mouth.

“That’s bullshit!” Neville sneered.

After rubbing his chin for a while, he blurted out, “Are you in love with someone else?”

Matthew looked up, confusion clouding his eyes.

“Don’t blame me.

I have to ask seeing as you defended a woman Like this for the first time,” Neville said meaningfully and raised his chin in Stella’s direction.

Matthew followed his friend’s line of vision until his eyes fell on Stella.

He looked away indifferently and gave Neville a hard stare.

“Shut the f@ck up!”

Neville could tell that Matthew was angry, so he knew he risked getting his head ripped off if he didn’t drop it.

He smiled awkwardly and zipped his mouth.

A few minutes later, the banquet officially began.

Matthew held the guests spellbound with his opening speech.

As soon as he was done, he received a round of applause.

Everyone began to make merry.

At this time, Stella could finally take a break from working.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, but there was still no reply from Maverick.

Was he too busy to check his phone?

Sadness flashed in Stella’s eyes as she put away her phone and lowered her head.

A couple of hours later, it was about time for the banquet to end.

Stella headed backstage to see to it that the remaining part was done right.

Once backstage, she bumped into Vivien who was standing with a glass of red wine in hand.
