Chapter 1034
When Love Comes Late
Stella hugged him tightly.
âHis treatment works.
So far, Iâve have met him twice.
And now the condition isnât as bad.
â
Matthew stroked her hair tenderly.
âWhenever youâre sad or in trouble in the future, donât hesitate to tell me.
Donât ever try hiding it.

If thereâs ever a problem, weâll face and solve it together, all right?â
âALL right.
â Stella smiled softly.
On their way back, Matthew remained quiet.
Stella noticed how slowly and steadily he drove.
The small action touched her deeply.
She was confident that their life together would be full of happiness.
She was so grateful to have such a kind man by her side.
Once he dropped her off at the studio, instead of going to the company, he went back to his grandparentsâ.
He remembered how strange Waldo was acting at the party last night and was eager to ask him face to face.
Waldo was playing chess alone.
He asked Matthew to play a few rounds with him one he spotted him.
They played three rounds without Matthew saying anything.
Waldo knew something was up.
Waldo placed down his chess piece.
âWhy did you suddenly come to see me?â
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
âLast night, someone sent a gift.
They couldnât have been an old friend of yours, right?â
Waldo paused for a few seconds.
He placed the chess piece down and gave Matthew his full attention.
He knew he wasnât going to be able to hide it from Matthew.
He sighed.
âOn the day of your fatherâs birthday, a man called, saying he wanted to see me and he was a Clark.
I refused, though.
â
Matthew frowned, but he said nothing.
âThere were actually a lot of people who came to me and claimed to be offspring of our family.
I rejected them all.
â Waldo closed his eyes helplessly.
