When Love Comes Late Book - Chapter: 2512

Stella knew Doreen wasn’t a bad person; she was skilled and dedicated to her work. Yet, given the circumstances, forcing her to stay wouldn’t be right. Stella met Doreen’s guilty gaze and said softly, “I’ll be waiting for the day you come back.”

Later that evening, Stella entered the study, carrying a steaming cup of milk.

She found Matthew seated at the desk, focused and quiet. At first glance, it seemed as though he had resumed working.

Curious, she approached quietly, only to find that he wasn’t working—-he was drawing.

“Who’s lucky enough to have the great Tobin personally sketch a design for them?” Stella asked playfully, her curiosity piqued.

Hearing her voice, Matthew looked up, a smile Lighting his eyes. Without a word, he reached out, gently pulling Stella onto his lap. “Take a closer look,” he said, pointing to the drawing. “What kind of design do you think this is?”

Stella leaned in and gasped softly. It was a wedding dress design.

She gasped in surprise. “This.. is a wedding dress?”

Matthew nodded, a warm smile spreading across his face. “That’s right. And the client.. is you.”

Stella feigned a pout, pretending to be upset. “You’re stealing my job! I was planning to design my own wedding dress.”

But then a thought struck her. She had never designed a suit for Matthew. With a teasing glint in her eyes, she added, “In that case, I’ve decided to personally design a suit for you.”

Matthew gazed at her, his eyes brimming with affection. He didn’t object but gently reminded her, “Alright, but don’t forget to rest. Don’t overwork yourself.”

In the days that followed, the study became the setting for countless heartwarming moments. Stella and Matthew would sit across from each other at the desk, each absorbed in their drawings. Every now and then, they’d glance up, sharing soft smiles, as if the entire world consisted only of the two of them and their design sketches.

Time whisked by, and before anyone knew it, the wedding day had dawned.

Bursting with excitement, Miley arrived early to help Stella with the day’s preparations.

Settling next to Stella, she flashed a mischievous grin and teased, “Stella, feeling the jitters yet? It’s your big night, after all.”

With a gentle touch on Miley’s arm, Stella smiled and dismissed the tease. “Oh, hush now. We’ve been over this. We’ve got a kid and a marriage certificate already. Today’s just the cherry on top.”

Miley’s laughter filled the room as she shifted topics. “Speaking of life changes, how’s the pregnancy treating you?”

Stella’s eyebrows lifted in curiosity. “Thinking about starting your own little brood? Wait, when will you and Neville make it official?”

A blush crept across Miley’s cheeks as she admitted, “We already made it official three days ago.”
