When Love Comes Late

The exhibition hall was sparsely populated, yet it was evident that the attendees were either affluent or influential, with Neville among them.

Stella couldn’t hide her surprise upon seeing Neville there, but her expression soured when she spotted Katy engaged in a cheerful conversation with him.

She held a negative opinion of Katy, especially after the ambiguous remarks she had made in the private room earlier.

Why was Katy with Neville?

Matthew didn’t extend a greeting to Neville.

Instead, he led Stella to a nearby seat and settled down.

Stella deliberately inquired with a touch of anger, “Why don’t you greet your good friend?”

Matthew lowered his gaze, fixating it on her, and whispered in her ear, “I won’t disturb him while he’s busy trying to pick up girls.

”

Stella, too, had an unfavorable opinion of Neville now.

As a notorious playboy, he was certainly not deserving of someone like Miley.

Not far away, Katy engaged in conversation with Neville, yet her eyes remained fixed on Matthew ever since his arrival.

Matthew’s public flirtation with Stella clearly wounded her and stoked her anger.

Neville smiled and commented, “You can see how strong their relationship is.

Perhaps it’s time for you to let go, don’t you think?”

Despite her frustration, Katy remained stubborn.

“Matthew is just toying with her.

Haven’t all the women who’ve had affairs with him come to regret it?”

Neville furrowed his brow.

Was Katy plotting something nefarious?

He offered a stern reminder.

“Matthew respects his wife, and that’s why he keeps those women at a distance.

”

Katy seethed with rage.

She couldn’t fathom why Matthew, with her superior family background and status, was drawn to Stella while treating her with a cold shoulder.

Neville, sensing her frustration, attempted to shed light on the matter.

“Matthew admires simplicity, but you…” He paused, his gaze scrutinizing Katy from head to toe.

“You are bound to bring him a plethora of unnecessary problems for him.

”

Katy shot Neville an intense glare, interpreting his words as a jab at her lack of simplicity.

Yet, her influential family background could offer substantial support to Matthew, far more than Stella ever could.

Matthew might be momentarily entranced by Stella, but in time, he would realize the immense benefit a devoted wife could bring to his career.
