When Love Comes Late

Recent events had caused her emotions to fluctuate wildly, leaving her extremely anxious.

As a result, her sleep suffered greatly.

She managed to fall asleep only at dawn each day, waking up sporadically after just a few hours.

That night, in a half-asleep state, she suddenly envisioned Matthew.

Overjoyed, she dashed toward him, eager to throw herself into his arms.

But before she could reach him, Matthew stepped back, his expression cold.

Stunned, she gazed at Matthew, tears cascading down her face.

“Matthew… You really don’t remember me?”

Matthew looked down at her with a frosty demeanor.

“Let’s divorce.

”

Stella shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

“No… Don’t give up on our marriage… I love you…”

“I don’t Love you anymore,” Matthew stated flatly.

“I want to divorce you.

I plan to marry Lindsay.

You need to step aside.

”

His words cut deep, feeling like countless sharp blades stabbing directly into her heart.

She burst into tears, unable to speak.

She could only watch as Matthew walked toward Lindsay.

Just as she felt suffocated by pain, her phone suddenly rang.

Stella woke up immediately.

She clutched her chest and sat up from the bed, her heart still aching.

It took her a long time to convince herself it was just a nightmare.

Her phone was still ringing.

Taking a deep breath, Stella regained her composure amid the ringtone.

It was a call from Doreen.

Stella’s heart raced.

She took another deep breath to calm herself before answering the phone.

“What’s up?”

Doreen’s flustered voice came through the phone.

“Crap! Stella, there’s something wrong with our sales channel.

All the sales for this season have been cut off.

”

Stella was fully awake now.

She asked, “What happened? We’ve already signed the contract, right? It’s a breach of contract!”

Doreen sighed.

“That’s exactly the tricky part.

Mr.

Twitty mentioned he could cover the liquidated damages.

”

Stella felt so furious that she almost laughed.

They had signed the agreement with Jack Twitty some time ago, and suddenly today, everything went awry.

She suspected that there was a manipulator behind the scenes.

But who could it be?

Doreen elaborated, “We got in touch with Mr.

Twitty as soon as we heard the news, but he claimed his hands were tied.

He indicated that some influential people in Seamarsh were involved, and he preferred to stay out of the fray, so he chose to terminate the contract.
