When Love Comes Late
Chapter 791

He then eyed her cut finger, concern etched into his features.

“Where’s your first-aid kit?”

She gestured towards a cabinet across the room.

“It’s up there.

But really, it’s just a minor cut.

A Band-Aid will suffice.

”

Ignoring her, Matthew said firmly, “Stay put.

”

He fetched the first-aid kit, soaked a cotton swab in iodine, and gently dabbed it onto Stella’s finger.

After securing a Band-Aid around Stella’s finger, Matthew looked deeply into her eyes.

“Would you consider coming back to Prosper Bay with me? Your studio isn’t far from there, and I can arrange for a driver to bring you here each day.

I worry about you living here alone.

”

Stella shook her head, her lips curving into a smile.

“Even though we’re together now, let’s not rush things.

You’ve been quite the gentleman today.

Let’s keep it that way.

Matthew’s expression softened at Stella’s light-hearted banter.

“I intend to,” he said, smiling back at her.

Matthew stroked her hand and said in a deep voice, “Stella, do you know why I like you?”

Stella’s heart was beating fast when she heard this.

She opened her eyes and asked, “Why?”

“Because you radiate warmth.

You’re genuinely warm-hearted,” he explained, his affectionate gaze fell on her.

Stella felt her heart quiver.

She withdrew her hand and sat down, her gaze drifting towards the rain-soaked window.

It took her a moment to steady her racing heart.

She finally spoke after a long while, her voice subdued.

“It’s getting late.

You should head home.

And be cautious driving in this weather.

”

Matthew’s brows furrowed when she drove him away.

He was ready to object when his phone buzzed.

It was a call from Fernando.

Matthew furrowed his brow and paused for a few moments.

Then, as if he had come to a realization, he stood up.

“Get some rest, and don’t anywhere in this downpour.

I have to go.
