When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1697

As they connected, both couldn’t help but let out a groan.

Stella couldn’t suppress her moans, soft as a cat’s purr.

But soon, she grew bashful, sealing her lips tight.

“Don’t hold back,” Matthew urged, eyebrows raised.

“Let it out.

”

After so long together, they knew each other’s bodies well.

The room grew warmer, filled with Stella’s delighted cries.

Matthew nuzzled into her neck, quickening his pace, ki*sing her skin.

Stella’s legs instinctively wrapped around Matthew’s sturdy waist, clinging to him, basking in the moment’s warmth.

Her nails, slightly long, left crescent marks on his skin.

“Matthew.

”

Stella’s voice echoed, her body tensing, reaching a trembling climax.

With reddened eyes, Matthew held her close, feeling the pressure tighten around him.

He relaxed, nestling into her collarbone, softly ki*sing every inch of her skin.

The next morning, Flossie woke up to an empty room.

Rubbing her eyes, she spotted a box sitting on the bedside table, sporting the same logo as yesterday’s jewelry shop.

Her eyes lit up as she cracked open the box, revealing the sparkling diamond ring she’d set her heart on.

She blinked in surprise, guessing it was Benny’s doing.

With the box in hand, she got out of bed and was just about to open the door when it swung open and in walked Benny.

He looked startled, clearly not expecting Flossie to be up so early.

His gaze fell on the gift box in her hand.

“When did you get the diamond ring?” Flossie asked him straight up.

After leaving the hospital last night, they’d headed straight home.

Benny had stuck to her side the whole time.

Spotting her bare feet, Benny frowned and guided her to the bed, crouching down to slip her shoes on.

“I got it after you dozed off last night.

I could tell you had your eyes on it.

”

Once her shoes were on, he gently took the fancy box from her grasp and revealed the diamond ring.

Dropping to one knee, he gazed at her expectantly.

“Flossie, will you marry me?”

Flossie was taken aback, deeply touched by his gesture.

She grabbed Benny, wrapping her arms around his neck, beaming.

“Absolutely, yes!”

Benny grinned, slipping the ring onto her finger and then lifting her hand to his lips for a ki*s.

“I’m sorry.

This ring’s not the fanciest but, I promise, when I’m raking it in, you’ll get the sparkliest diamond and a bash to match.
