When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 364
She raised her eyes to the night sky, her voice carrying a hint of melancholy as she continued, “I’m an orphan.
I was placed in a welfare home at a very young age and later adopted by my grandfather.
”
Matthew was shocked to his core.
He had never fathomed that Stella had such a tumultuous background.
Just as he was about to offer her some words of comfort, her carefree laughter filled the air.
“But my grandpa has always treated me well.
I’m content.
” Stella gazed at the star-studded night sky and smiled.
The two fell into a contemplative silence once more.
Soon, Stella realized that she might have divulged too much.
She turned to Matthew, her eyes filled with regret.
“I’m sorry.
I might have gotten carried away and shared things I shouldn’t have.
”
“It’s alright.
We’re not at work right now.
You can share anything you want.
No need to be overly cautious,” Matthew reassured her.
Stella nodded but decided not to delve deeper into the topic.
Instead, she lifted her head.
Matthew, observing her from the corner of his eye, wore a more enigmatic expression.
He had never met his father since he was a child.
He had once believed that his father had abandoned him and his mother.
Not for a moment had he missed that man.
Each time he saw his mother struggling to run the household on her own, his resentment towards that man deepened.
However, did Stella’s words imply that she still longed for her parents, despite their abandonment?
Matthew was lost in thought.

Matthew was lost in thought.
When he married Stella, his grandmother only revealed that Stella was a member of the Anderson family, without divulging any further information.
He had previously assumed that Stella came from a happy family.
But it appeared that her past had been far more turbulent.
Both he and Stella were essentially found halfway along their life journeys.
As Matthew mulled over these revelations, his heart ached for her.
He might still have a blood connection to the Clark family, but only his grandparents genuinely embraced him as a member of the family.
