When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2342

Matthew hung up and found himself gazing at the phone screen that bore Stellas name.

The image of her earlier disappointed look lingered in his mind, piercing his heart like a sharp blade and weighing it down with sadness.

The depth of emotion Stella stirred in him baffled Matthew.

His memories of her were as blank as an unwritten book, yet the sight of her distress seemed to twist his heart with an invisible grip, leaving him swathed in confusion and distress.

Elsewhere, Bella, leaning on Stella and Alissa for support, settled into the car, her emotions swirling.

Upon arriving home, concern etched her face as she turned to Stella and asked, Has Matthew been treating you this way recently? He wasnt like this in the past.

Alissa echoed the concern, her eyes clouded with worry.

Stella, please dont keep things from us.

If Matthew is mistreating you, well stand by you.

A wave of gratitude washed over Stella, and she managed a reassuring smile.

Thank you, but honestly, its nothing.

Conflict is just a part of any relationship. Well sort it out ourselves.
