“It’s coming up this Saturday,” Neville replied promptly.
“Saturday?” Stella’s face lit up with surprise.
“What a coincidence!”
“Oh? What coincidence?” Neville asked, pretending to be interested.
Stella looked down shyly.

Matthew coughed awkwardly.
Stella regained her composure and realized her slip. She put away her tablet and said, “Then I’ll modify the plan and confirm with you later.”
“Okay,” Neville replied in a cheerful tone.
After Stella left, Matthew expressed his dissatisfaction with Neville’s arrangement, asking, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that Stella would be here? I was unprepared and the situation was embarrassing.”
Neville chuckled and responded, “I thought you could use more interaction with Stella, and she promised to attend your birthday.
Aren’t you happy?”
Matthew gave him a cold glance, then stood up and exited the room.

Neville followed him to the car right after. He fastened his seatbelt and offered, “I don’t have any plans today. I can accompany you.”
“Shut up! Be quiet!” Matthew warned playfully as he started the car.
During the drive, Neville sensed Matthew’s irritation and wisely chose to remain silent, engrossing himself with his mobile phone.
When the car finally arrived at a villa on the outskirts of Seamarsh, Neville couldn’t resist asking, “What are you doing here?
Neville was bewildered.
Matthew hadn’t been to this small villa for many years. Why did he suddenly come here today?
Matthew didn’t respond but got out of the car.
Neville wanted to find out the reason, so he immediately got out of the car and followed him.
Matthew headed straight for the villa’s gate, where a parcel box sat beside the mailbox.
“Who sent you this package?” Neville inquired with curiosity.
