Stella looked at him incredulously.
Despite understanding her expression, Matthew persisted, “Since you don’t believe me, let’s try something.”
Stella clenched her lips, choosing to hold her tongue. She realized that without Matthew letting go of his suspicions, the matter would never end.
She held on to the hope that Matthew would ease up on his doubts regarding Haley.
After hesitating for a while, Stella nodded and said, “You can try it if you want, but I still hope you’ll stop overthinking.”
Matthew narrowed his eyes, maintaining his calm demeanor. “We must proceed with caution.”

Nestled in his embrace, memories flooded Miley’s mind, recalling the sheer terror of her kidnapping. “I was so scared. Wyatt said we were on a deserted island, and I was terrified of the wild animals that might roam at night. I thought I’d never see you again.”

She began removing the clothes one by one until she stumbled upon a black bag nestled within.
Intrigued, Miley picked it up and unzipped it, revealing a camera inside.
“A camera? Did he bring this along on his business trip?” Miley muttered. She settled back onto the sofa and powered on the camera.
