When Love Comes Late
Chapter 765

Gazing at him, she said with a nasal tone, “I’m okay.

You can head to work.

I need some time alone.

I have a meeting with a real estate agent to pick out a place.

”

She intended to rent an apartment near Miley’s company, which could double as her studio.

Matthew studied her, noting the tears clinging to her lashes.

He extended a hand to gently wipe her eyes, declaring, “I’m coming with you.

We’re a couple.

Your concerns are mine as well.

”

Stella’s lips tightened.

Before she could articulate her refusal, a voice called her name from behind.

“Stella…”

Turning, she saw Farris approaching them.

Instinctively, she looked at Matthew.

His expression had become noticeably darker.

Seeking to avoid an awkward situation, Stella urged Matthew to go.

“Perhaps Dr.

Barnes forgot to mention some specific instructions.

Wait for me in the car.

I’ll join you shortly.

”

Matthew’s lips pressed together in visible displeasure.

Stella nudged him once more, her voice laced with a hint of playful insistence.

“Could you please wait in the car for me? I promise it won’t take long.

”

Finally, Matthew relented, deciding not to make the moment any more challenging for her.

As he climbed into the car, Stella released a quiet sigh of relief.

“Stella…” Farris halted before her, his breath slightly uneven.

She turned to face him, offering a courteous smile.

“Dr.

Barnes, is something the matter?”

Farris seemed momentarily at a loss for words, gathering his thoughts.

Regaining his composure, he said, “I was performing surgery.

I was going to see your grandpa off, but I came late.

”

“Your kindness means the world to us, Dr.

Barnes.

My grandfather and I are immensely grateful.

If it weren’t for you, his recovery wouldn’t have been as swift,” Stella replied, her tone sincere.

Just then, a horn blared in the distance.

Turning her gaze to where the sound originated, Farris locked eyes with Matthew.
