When Love Comes Late
Chapter 981

“It’s all set.

Fairwa’s ready to shine.

How about we start our honeymoon trip there?” he asked, holding her close.

Stella didn’t hesitate.

“Sure.

”

Glancing at her watch, she realized it was nearly time for dinner.

“I’ll cook,” she said, her voice sounding weary and a bit hoarse from crying.

Matthew sensed her sadness, especially after Farris’ funeral.

He suggested, “How about dinner out? Fernando’s already reserved us a table.

”

Stella, a bit lost in thought, asked, “Are you driving?”

Matthew, surprised by her question, chuckled.

“Yeah, of course.

”

Stella, her emotions bubbling up, simply nodded.

Understanding she was probably still affected by the funeral, Matthew gently ruffled her hair and suggested they get ready.

After freshening up, they were about to leave when suddenly, Miley appeared at their doorstep.

Startled, Stella noticed Miley’s troubled look and asked, “Miley, what’s wrong? You don’t look too good.

”

Miley, sidestepping the question, asked, “Heading out?”

“Yeah, dinner with Matthew.

Have you eaten?”

Miley grabbed Stella’s hand and said, “I’ll join you.

”

Even though Miley kept quiet, her odd actions made it clear to Stella that she was upset and troubled about something.

Stella decided to see what Matthew thought.

Matthew nodded in agreement, hoping to Lighten Stella’s spirits.

“Sure, let’s all go.

”

Matthew was at the wheel, driving, while Stella and Miley sat together in the back.

Despite Stella’s attempts to engage Miley in conversation, Miley remained sullen, offering only forced smiles in response.
