When Love Comes Late
Chapter 767

As she prepared to sign the lease, she couldn’t shake off her disbelief at the rate.

She double-checked with Cesar.

“Is this price real? Are there any hidden issues?”

“Certainly not, Mrs.

Clark.

I wouldn’t dare to deceive you or someone as influential as Mr.

Clark,” Cesar assured her.

“The owner is going abroad soon, so he is in a hurry to rent out the apartment.

They were too polite to each other.

“You don’t have to be so polite to me,” Matthew added sternly.

Struggling to replace the words, Stella finally said, looking somewhat helpless, “I apologize, I just-“

“It’s my fault,” Matthew interjected, gripping her hand tightly.
