“Stella doesn’t know that you’re the head of KlassicLuxe, does she?
If she finds out, she’ll probably throw herself at you.’
Suddenly, Matthew’s eyes snapped open.
Their depths were as impenetrable as ever, devoid of any hint of humor.
“Shut up.”
His voice, low and frigid, hung heavily in the air, chilling the atmosphere.
Unperturbed, Slater continued with his taunts.
“If you don’t plan to pursue her, then I’ll make my move.”
He was clearly trying to provoke Matthew.

Matthew was about to open his mouth when he heard some footsteps from the stairs.
Stella quickly went downstairs, handed the ointment to Slater and carefully told him how to use it.
Slater, however, just stared at it and did not take it.
With a smile on his face, he said gently and apologetically, “I haven’t used this kind of ointment. Can you help me apply it?”

A blush suddenly crept up Stella’s cheeks, making her clearly surprised by his request.
Seeing her dumbfounded, Matthew quickly grabbed the ointment from her hand.
“I can help him apply it.”
“Then I’ll go prepare something to eat first.” Noticing that Matthew was helping her out, Stella immediately ran out of the living room.
After watching the receding figure of Stella, Matthew turned to look at Slater.
Slater still had a smile on his face, leaving Matthew annoyed.
Matthew, however, had enough. His eyes narrowed, and he warned in a low voice, “Don’t cross the line, or I will teach you a lesson.”
His warning delivered, he tossed the ointment to Slater, ending the conversation.
Miley and Flossie returned to a rather somber scene in the Living room, finding Matthew and Slater sitting on opposite sides, seemingly engaged in a silent standoff.
The tension in the room was palpable.
Miley suggested cautiously, “We’ve brought back some colorful ribbons and balloons to decorate the house. Would you like to help us with that? Flossie and I are preparing dinner.”
