When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2218

Stella pursed her lips, lost in deep contemplation.

Sanford shook his head in resignation and said, “Matthew has left.

Do you want to stay, or should I drive you back?”

Stella wanted to leave, but she was reluctant to have him drive her home.

As she pondered how to decline, Josh suddenly approached.

He looked visibly anxious.

Grasping Sanford’s hand, he said, “I’m sorry, Stella.

An urgent matter has come up.

I need to take Sanford away for a while.

Why don’t you find somewhere to sit for a bit?”

Without giving Sanford a chance to respond, Josh whisked him away.

Stella felt a sense of relief wash over her, grateful she didn’t have to reject Sanford’s offer herself.
