When Love Comes Late
Chapter 732

She had to let him continue tidying up her hair and face.

Trying to divert her attention, she focused on anything but the charged sensation of Matthew’s touch.

The five-minute drive felt so Long.

When Stella heard the driver say they were finally back home, her tensed body finally relaxed.

She inhaled deeply.

Matthew held her hand firmly to lead her out of the car and guide her into the villa.

Although the villa appeared unchanged since her last visit, the atmosphere felt different, perhaps due to her altered status.

Casting a glance at their intertwined hands, Stella kept her thoughts private, choosing not to speak her mind.

Just then, Erin, who had been tending the garden, approached with a look of concern.

“Miss Anderson, is everything alright?”

Embarrassed by the concerned look on Erin’s face, Stella didn’t know how to respond.

After all, they had talked about Matthew’s wife before.

Matthew spoke, his voice was uncharacteristically gentle, but remained resolute.

“Erin, please tend to her wound.

And from this moment forward, refer to Stella as Mrs.

Clark.

”

“Mrs.

Clark?” Erin repeated, clearly taken aback.

Her eyes then fell upon the hands intertwined between Stella and Matthew.

Matthew acknowledged her, saying, “You’ve frequently inquired about Mrs.

Clark, haven’t you?”

Erin was surprised that her casual mentions had caught his attention and felt slightly embarrassed.

However, Matthew wasn’t interested in dwelling on such minor details.

Solemnly, he told Erin, “Stella is my wife.

Please take good care of her.

I have something urgent to dealt with for now.

”

Committing herself, Erin assured him, “Mr.

Clark, please proceed with your affairs.

I will ensure Mrs.

Clark is well taken care of.

”

Matthew leaned down, planting a tender ki*s on Stella’s forehead.

“I’ll head upstairs.

If you need anything, Erin is here to assist you.

”

Stella blushed, still unaccustomed to such public displays of affection.

She gave a nonchalant nod in agreement.

Pleased with her reaction, Matthew offered Erin a few more words of encouragement before ascending the staircase.

Once Matthew was out of sight, Erin enthusiastically guided Stella to the sofa.
