Fernando stood still, taken aback by the unexpected request.
He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

After some internal deliberation, Fernando revealed, “I encountered Stella this morning. She… She was inquiring about Neville Pierce.”
Matthew’s expression darkened.
“What exactly did she ask?”
Fernando, who hadn’t seen Matthew display anger in quite some time, felt his heart race.

Matthew’s displeasure remained beneath the surface. Still, Fernando sensed it, reinforcing the idea that there was indeed a unique connection between Stella and Matthew.
Fernando wisely chose to remain silent, allowing Matthew time to process the information.

The woman wisely planted a ki*s on his cheek and left with a smile.
Neville then made his way to the living room and took a seat next to Matthew.
Yawning, he asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work? Why are you here so early?”
