When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Emil was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled quietly to himself, astonished at his mistake.

Turning to leave, he suddenly overheard the woman on the phone mention Bella’s name.

Bella blurting out Kori’s name got Elizabeth all riled up.

She worried Bella might remember the past, so she called Bella’s doctor for more medication.

“Can you up the dosage?” she whispered.

Then she noticed someone entering the coffee shop.

She thought that only the staff were around at this time until a man caught her eye.

She frowned, hung up, and got ready to bolt.

The man grabbed her coffee from a waiter and slid into the seat across from her.

Elizabeth eyed him warily but stayed silent.

Emil didn’t rush to speak either and just let her stare.

After hearing her mention Bella’s name, he had already figured out the identity of the woman in front of him.

He’d heard about her and Stella’s drama when working with Matthew.

Seeing her now, he knew the gossip was true.

The woman did bear a striking resemblance to Stella.

“Elizabeth?” He finally spoke.

“I’m Emil Morgan.

It’s a pleasure meeting you.
