When Love Comes Late

Matthew gazed at Stella, speaking in a rich and refined tone.

“Indeed, I love my wife very much.

”

Wearing a congratulatory smile, Redman said, “I hope your evening is filled with romance.

”

Just as he finished his sentence, his assistant approached him.

Redman told Matthew to enjoy the evening as he pleased, then excused himself to attend to other guests.

After Redman had left, Stella whispered to Matthew, “Mr.

Clark, what did Redman say to you?”

Recalling Redman’s words, Matthew couldn’t help but smile.

But he responded simply, “He said you’re beautiful.

”

Stella seemed slightly taken aback before a hint of bashfulness crossed her face.

She averted her gaze and ceased her inquiries.

The waiter escorted them to a private room on the second floor, adorned with elegant European-style furniture that exuded understated luxury.

As Stella settled into her seat, she felt somewhat uneasy in Matthew’s presence.

The waiter poured two glasses of water and inquired, “What would you like to drink?”

Matthew remembered how Stella had once specifically ordered milk tea at Highwyn.

Her eyes sparkled when she drank it.

He asked, “Do you serve milk tea here?”

“Milk tea?” The waiter looked a bit surprised before apologizing.

“I’m sorry, sir, we haven’t prepared milk tea.

But we can get it for you.

Would you like us to fetch some?”

The clientele here were generally affluent or influential, so the staff aimed to accommodate their wishes.

Stella waved dismissively, saying, “No need.

Just a cup of coffee for me, please.

The waiter glanced at Matthew for his choice.

Matthew momentarily looked unsettled but quickly regained his composure, saying, “One cup of coffee and one glass of champagne.

”

“Very well,” the waiter replied softly, left the menu and the auction paddle, and closed the door behind him.
