When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1567

Staring intently at Haley, Matthew reiterated, “You were there that day.

You should come with us.

”

Haley realized that continuing to refuse would only raise suspicions.

With a forced smile, she acquiesced, nodding in agreement.

Seating herself at the table, she mechanically began to eat her breakfast, her mind consumed with thoughts of what to do next.

Haley knew that confronting the homeless man then and there would risk blowing her cover entirely.

Furthermore, if her true identity were exposed, she knew that Matthew would not be lenient.

Gripping the spoon tightly, she felt a surge of anxiety wash over her.

She couldn’t afford to sit idly by and do nothing.

Once breakfast concluded and Matthew and Stella retreated to their room to change, Haley seized the opportunity to contact Kristian.

She hastened back to her room and locked the door behind her.

Dialing Kristian’s number, she waited anxiously for him to answer.

“Kristian, I need your guidance,” she implored, her voice laced with urgency.

“Please, help me.

”

“Don’t worry.

” Kristian’s indifferent voice echoed through the phone.

“Your best bet now is to prepare to escape.

”

“What? What do you mean?” Haley’s shock was palpable.

“Your only chance is to flee.

When the moment comes, head for the motorcycle parked near the cafe.

If anything goes wrong, make your getaway.

I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.

”

Before Haley could respond, there was a knock on her door.

Outside, Stella asked, “Haley, are you ready?”

With a resigned sigh, Haley pocketed her phone, realizing she had no choice but to follow Kristian’s instructions.

She joined Stella and Matthew as they made their way to the cafe.

Stepping out of the vehicle, Haley couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling settling in her gut.

Something was off-the cafe, usually bustling with customers, now stood eerily deserted.

Her apprehension only grew stronger with each passing moment.

As Matthew held Stella close, he turned to find Haley frozen in place.

“Haley, why did you stop there?”

His smile sent shivers down Haley’s spine, filling her with dread.

She replied hastily, “I’ll join you in a moment.

”
