When Love Comes Late
Chapter 682

With those final words, she didn’t afford Matthew another look and raced away.

Matthew yearned to chase after her, but his feet felt as if they were weighed down by tons.

He had foreseen this possibility, yet when it manifested, the emotional toll was far more excruciating than he had ever imagined.

That evening, Stella returned to Seamarsh with Clint alone.

She erased Maverick’s and Matthew’s contact information from her phone.

The two distinct numbers displayed on her screen seemed to mock her quietly for her own naivety.

Piecing together the talk of divorce from the previous night and Stella’s current demeanor, Miley couldn’t help but speculate wildly.

“Did Maverick renege on his promise as an act of spite because you suggested divorce?”

“No…” Stella faltered, struggling to replace the right words, her head throbbing.
