Noticing the changes in Matthew’s demeanor towards Haley, Stella attributed it to the DNA test.
She was so happy about this.
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up at the hotel entrance.
Stella and Haley hurried upstairs to pack, leaving Matthew waiting in the hall.
Once they vanished into the elevator, Matthew lingered on the sofa briefly before approaching the front desk. “Could you provide me with information on the resident in Room 8203?
Being new, the receptionist hesitated. “I’m sorry, Sir. I can’t disclose guest information.”
Matthew dialed the manager’s number, resolving the issue with a brief call.
After a pause, the receptionist’s expression changed when she received a call from the manager. Meeting Matthew’s gaze with surprise, she quickly complied with the manager’s request before hanging up.
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Clark. I didn’t realize it was you. I apologize…”
Matthew interrupted her. “Could you check if Haley Ramos is staying alone here after checking in?”
“Sure.” Without hesitation, the receptionist typed away on her computer. “It seems a man has been visiting her.”

A man?
Matthew’s frown deepened. “What did he look like?”
“He always wore a mask, so I couldn’t see his face,” the receptionist explained, pulling up surveillance footage.
Matthew watched the screen closely for a moment, unable to recognize the man. Their interactions, however, seemed close.
“I see,” he said, turning to call Fernando.

“Head to the hotel now and grab some surveillance tapes,” he instructed over the phone.
After the call ended, Stella and Haley came downstairs.
Matthew eyed Haley silently before focusing on her suitcase. “Is that all your luggage?”
Haley was startled by the unexpected question, unsure why Matthew was asking.
Stella looked puzzled, too. “Don’t you remember? When she came with us to Seamarsh, she only had one suitcase.”
“It’s easy to forget little things like that.” Haley interjected, trying to lighten the mood. “I’m used to traveling light. And I don’t have much stuff anyway.”
“Is that so?” Matthew’s lips tightened. “What about the man who visited you often? Did he leave anything behind?”
“What man?” Confusion clouded Stella’s expression as she glanced at Matthew, unsure what he was referring to.
