When Love Comes Late
Chapter 954

As she approached, Matthew appeared.

“What did he buy the cake for? What event were they supposed to be celebrating today?” Stella was afraid she had forgotten something important.

Matthew took her hand and said, “I ordered this cake to celebrate the success of your design.

”

Surprised, Stella asked, “How did you know it was a success? I intended to surprise you with that news.

”

Matthew just gave her his “I know everything” look, as though that was enough explanation.

He looked at Stella affectionately and said, “Close your eyes and make a wish.

”

“It’s not my birthday.

How then can I make a wish? Stop it,” Stella said, amused.

Matthew replied, “Today is a good day.

You should make a wish.

”

Stella had no choice but to close her eyes and make a wish inwardly.

“I hope me and Matthew get to live together happily.

”

She then opened her eyes to see that it was dark and that Matthew was no longer by her side.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Did the power go off? What’s going on?” Stella muttered.

“Matthew?

Are you trying to scare me, because if you are…”

Before Stella could finish talking, a hand took hers, and there was a loud sound as fireworks exploded in the night sky.

It looked as though tiny stars were falling to the ground.

The fireworks changed color and shape, looking quite mesmerizing.

Stella was stunned, and her heart began to beat a little faster.

Matthew let go of her hand and held her from behind.

He placed his head on her shoulder and asked, “Do you like it?”

Nodding, Stella said, “Yes.

I like it very much.

”

Matthew smiled as he looked at her.

Under the light of the fireworks, her beautiful face looked even more gentle, and her eyes were as clear as crystal.

At that point, what he felt for her seemed to increase tenfold, causing his heart to skip a beat.

He ki*sed her cheek, then bit her earlobe softly before burying his face in her neck and inhaling her scent.

After a moment of silence, Matthew released her and said, “Stella, I want to hold a wedding ceremony and marry you formally.

”

Matthew’s simple words were better than any marriage vow.
