When Love Comes Late

“Erin? What are you doing here?”

Erin, caught off guard by Stella’s sudden entry, paused before politely greeting, “Mrs.

Clark.

”

Stella paused, and then quickly asked, “Why are you here? Where’s Matthew?”

“Mr.

Clark asked me to come and pack his bags,” Erin answered sincerely.

As she spoke, she continued to pack his bags.

Matthew had urged her to hurry, so she didn’t look up at Stella again, missing the distress on Stella’s face.

While packing, Erin asked, “Is Mr.

Clark off on another business trip?”

She kept talking, not waiting for Stella to respond.

“He called me early this morning, asking me to pack his bags quickly.

He seemed in a rush to sort something out.

He’s always so busy.

He just got back from Sothrea and now he’s off again.

Where to this time? He asked me to pack a lot of clothes and some daily necessities.

He will be away for a long time, won’t he? Mrs.

Clark, are you going with him? I guess he wants to finish up his work before the wedding so he can focus on preparing for your big day.

”

Erin chattered on for quite some time before she realized Stella had been silent the entire time.

Glancing up, she saw Stella’s pale face.

Shocked, Erin stood up quickly.

“Mrs.

Clark! You look so pale.

Are you feeling alright? Should I call Mr.

Clark?”

Then she approached Stella and offered her a seat.

“sit down.

Rest a bit.

I can’t help but feel Mr.

Clark should be criticized.

He just got back from a business trip and now he’s leaving again? He ought to spend more time with you.

”

Stella looked very pale.

She weakly waved her hand and struggled to find her voice.

“I’m fine.

Go on.

I need to step outside for a bit.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

”

She felt so overwhelmed that she could barely breathe.

She longed to go outside for some fresh air.

However, the moment she turned to leave, her feeling of suffocation intensified.

Her mind blanked for a second, and then everything went dark as she fainted.

Meanwhile, Lindsay was in a downtown apartment.

She was seated in a wheelchair while several maids cleaned around her.

Matthew sat quietly on the couch, his thoughts unreadable.

“Matthew, could you stay with me tonight?” Lindsay asked timidly, her eyes full of longing.

“Just Like the days when we stayed in adjacent wards.

I only feel safe when I’m around you.

”

She spoke with great care and then nervously watched Matthew’s reaction.

She hoped to find a way to be alone with Matthew and was also concerned about him spending too much time with Stella out of her sight.

With no change in his expression, Matthew replied casually, “I’ll have the maids stay with you.

”

Lindsay felt a pang of despair at his words.
