When Love Comes Late

After a brief pause, he replied honestly, “I’m not sure… At that time, Mrs.

Clark was your personal PR officer.

The next thing I knew, there were rumors of your secret marriage.

”

Matthew pondered for a moment before pressing further.

“Did I pursue her? Or was it the other way around?”

Observing Matthew’s earnest expression, Fernando responded with certainty, “As far as I can recall, you showed interest in her first.

You were unaware at the time that she was your wife from a quick, undisclosed marriage.

It troubled you for quite some time.

”

Matthew’s expression turned grave as he continued to probe.

“Did we ever have a wedding ceremony?”

“No.

” Fernando shook his head solemnly.

“But before you went to Sothrea, you had been making preparations for a wedding.

”

Hearing this, Matthew’s frown deepened.

“If I was in love with Stella at that time, why didn’t we have the wedding right away? Why was it postponed until now?”

“Well, you did have a wedding planned, but there was an accident,”

Fernando said, his voice tinged with nervousness.

He proceeded to recount the details of the previous unfinished wedding to Matthew, who listened with a mix of disbelief and confusion evident in his eyes.

Matthew had no recollection of the wedding, nor of the critical situation he had been in.

Disturbed by this revelation, he gestured dismissively for Fernando to leave.

Outside the office, Fernando exhaled a great sigh of relief.

Ever since Matthew lost part of his memory, his moods had become increasingly unpredictable.

Just then, a woman’s voice called out, “Fernando.

”

Coming back to reality, Fernando saw Lindsay and greeted her with due respect.

“Miss Wheeler, hi.

”

“Is Matthew in there?” Lindsay asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Yes,” Fernando replied candidly, not giving much thought to his immediate response.

Lindsay offered a gentle smile before maneuvering her wheelchair into the office.

Inside, Matthew stood in front of the French window, deeply engaged in a phone conversation.

Although Lindsay couldn’t see his face, her own expression shifted upon hearing his words.

“Find a way to help me regain my memory as soon as possible.

”

After hanging up the phone, Matthew turned around and caught sight of Lindsay sitting in her wheelchair.

A slight frown creased his forehead, and a fleeting shadow crossed his eyes.

He asked in a low, serious tone, “What brings you here?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Lindsay felt a flicker of panic at his question, but she quickly regained her composure.
