When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2416

Sanford was caught off guard, utterly unprepared for Declans directness about his emotions.

However, though caught off guard, he masked his emotions and replied, Im only concerned this could derail my plans.

He tried to dismiss the accusation, but Declans skeptical expression showed he wasnt convinced.

Declan leaned back and said, Since you arrived in Seamarsh, all Ive seen is you prioritizing Stella over the mission.

His words carried a hint of reproach.

Sanford remained quiet, suppressing his thoughts, determined not to let Declan discern his feelings.

Declan continued, With Stella in this condition, you should use this opportunity to your advantage.

Stop wasting time questioning me.

The process doesnt matter-only the outcome.

From this exchange, Sanford concluded that Declan had no hand in Stellas predicament.

Yet, he also recognized that his impatience had betrayed more than he intended. 1 Frustration simmered within him.
