When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2402

As she stood there, recalling the perilous events of her wedding, a whirlwind of emotions surged within her.

The vivid memory of that terrifying day flashed through her mind-Matthew, risking his life to save her.

The scene replayed with haunting clarity, and her heart trembled ever so slightly.

Completely absorbed in her thoughts, Stella lost awareness of her surroundings.

She forgot Matthews presence entirely and didnt even notice when he came to stand beside her.

Matthew, holding two steaming cups of coffee, silently observed her.

Her focused expression, so filled with emotion, stirred something deep within him.

A wave of affection swept over him as he took in the moment.

He gently placed a cup in her hand and asked, Do you want to try it on? His voice carried a note of gentle anticipation, and his eyes sparkled with a warmth that was impossible to ignore.

Stella was jolted back to reality by Matthews words.

She glanced at the coffee in her hand, and then at the wedding dress in the display, before quickly shaking her head. No, lets go back, she said firmly.
