When Love Comes Late
Chapter 935

She looked at Farris, worn out and pleading, and felt a swirl of emotions.

“I get where you’re coming from.

You’ve always been the understanding type, even from day when we first met.

” Her voice was steady.

“But Mina is different.

She’s hurt me a lot, and I can’t just forgive that.

I have to be honest.

She made her choices.

Nobody made her do it, and we’re not to blame for her actions.

”

As Stella stood her ground, Farris hesitated, his mind going back to when she had stood up for him in the orphanage.

Back then, he was a lot less sure of himself, only replaceing his footing after his foster parents took him in.

Facing Stella’s unwavering gaze, Farris gave a sad smile and asked, “Do you still remember who I am?”

Stella, slightly confused but smiling, answered, “Of course, I do.

You’re a good doctor, Farris, and you’re my friend.

”

Farris’ face tensed a bit.

He parted his lips, ready to speak, when Matthew’s voice cut in.

“Stella!” he called out.

Stella looked over, then told Farris, “I should get going.

Mina’s situation…”

Her eyes met Farris’, as she was caught in a moral quandary.

Farris gave a knowing nod.

“Understood.

Go ahead.

Sorry for bringing it up.

”

Stella cast another glance at Farris, silent, then turned to leave.

Farris watched her walk away, experiencing a sense of relief.

He had been searching for Stella for years.

Yet now, seeing her with someone so suitable, Farris thought it best to step back.

If she had let go of the past, he wouldn’t bring it up.

It felt right to be just friends again.

A smile of contentment spread across Farris’ face.

He waved in Stella’s direction, saying, “Farewell, Stella.

”

At his words, Stella paused, looking back.

Farris was already heading to the cinema.

She pulled her gaze away and rejoined Matthew.

“We should head back.
