When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1577

When he got to the last sentence, “I love you forever,” it was like he snapped.

Overcome with grief and regret, Benny let out a sorrowful cry.

In the bedroom, Flossie lay on the bed, trying desperately to sleep.

Yet, every time she closed her eyes, images of Benny, alone in the study, haunted her.

Opening her eyes, she gazed at the ceiling, deep in thought.

She worried about Benny finding the letters.

Would he be angry with her for keeping Evelyn’s letter a secret?

Or could reading the letter help him to find peace?

At this moment, Flossie wished she hadn’t given him the letter.

She touched her stomach, whispering to her unborn child, “Have I made a mistake? What will we do if he leaves us?”

After saying that, tears dripped from the corner of her eyes.

An hour later, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Flossie felt her heart drop.

She hadn’t anticipated Benny’s arrival so early.

Could he be here to reprimand her?

Quickly, she shut her eyes, feigning sleep.

Yet, she couldn’t stop her body from shaking, nor her heart from racing.

Under the covers, her hands were clenched tight.

She then felt the bed dip slightly behind her and a familiar scent wafted to her, ramping up her anxiety.

What was her next move? Wake up or keep up the act of sleeping?

As she debated, she suddenly felt an embrace from behind.

The warmth at her back made Flossie stiffen, her breath caught.

She remained motionless.

This moment was too precious to spoil.

For so long, she had yearned for this, not once considering a replacement for Evelyn.

ALL she wanted was Benny’s affection.

She hoped with time, Benny would shed his guilt over Evelyn and see her as his partner.

Had he chosen her this time?
