The pair stepped out of the car, and in an instant, Neville noticed Stella in a rush.
“Stella!”
Stella turned her gaze to the source of the voice and spotted Matthew and Neville, which made her slightly anxious.
Nevertheless, she approached them and extended a warm greeting…
“Where are you off to in such a rush?” Neville inquired curiously.
Stella responded truthfully, “I forgot to pick up the cake. I need to head to the bakery to pick it up. Please, take Mr. Clark and go on ahead.”
Neville stopped her and turned to Matthew.
“Matthew, why don’t you go with her? It’s your birthday, and this way, you can check the cake beforehand. If there’s anything wrong, you can make changes right away.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Stella shook her head.
“I can manage it on my own. The guests will be arriving shortly, and Mr. Clark needs to attend to them.”
“It’s no trouble at all. I’m familiar with all of Matthew’s guests.

I can keep them engaged.” Neville waved his hand and reassured her.
As Stella continued to hesitate, Neville added persuasively, “Matthew’s car is right here. It would save some time if he gives you a ride to the bakery.”
He gently nudged Matthew, telling him to take a hint.

Matthew grasped the intention behind Neville’s gesture and smacked his lips.
“Come on, let’s hurry. Get in the car.”
He pivoted around and settled into the driver’s seat.
Meanwhile, Neville assisted in opening the passenger door.
At this point, Stella found it hard to decline and reluctantly stepped into the car.
The car reached the cake shop shortly thereafter.
The shop assistant retrieved the cake and inquired, “Sir, ma’am, here’s the cake you requested. Please confirm the order, and I‘UL pack it afterwards.”
Stella glanced at Matthew and asked in a hushed tone, “So.
Matthew hummed, nodding.
Stella let out a sigh of relief and then turned to the shop assistant with a smile, saying, “Please go ahead and pack it for us, and if you could provide a birthday hat as well, that would be wonderful. Thank you.”
