When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Gratefully, Stella accepted the gift box with both hands and proceeded to open it.

Inside was a hand-painted wedding picture of Stella and Matthew, adorned with Bella’s signature.

Delighted, Stella couldn’t contain her appreciation.

“Thank you, I truly adore it,” she expressed sincerely.

As she gazed at Bella, Stella felt the urge to share details about their relationship with her.

Considering the imminent wedding and the bustling presence of many guests, Stella acknowledged that it wasn’t the right moment to reveal the truth.

She believed it would be wiser to approach the topic gradually after the wedding, allowing Bella ample time to process and accept the information.

With her decision made, Stella held back her words and offered another smile to Bella.

Matthew, noticing Stella’s trembling, took her hand and entrusted the gift to Fernando.

“Please keep this safe,” he instructed.

Looking up at Matthew, Stella took in the warmth of his palm, which helped soothe her emotions.
