Stella still didn’t respond.
Sensing the need for Stella to reflect, Miley refrained from further persuasion.
She lightly patted Stella’s shoulder and suggested, “Take your time to think it over. Ultimately, make a choice that brings you peace and happiness.”
At Miley’s words, Stella began to ponder deeply.

How could two people from disparate worlds build trust when shackled by an arbitrary engagement?
But Stella didn’t crave the title of CEO’s wife. She longed for a simple marriage and a lifelong companion.
Could Matthew be that man?
He was always surrounded by temptation. Could he love her forever?
Stella harbored uncertainties about their marriage and their future life.
Shaking off her reverie, she exited the kitchen and told Miley, “If you can’t finish all this food, feel free to share it with friends or colleagues. The milk tea on the table is yours too. I’m going to freshen up and then head to the hospital. I’ll be staying with my grandpa for the next few days, so don’t wait up for me.”

“Stella…” As soon as Miley called her, her phone rang.
Miley’s words were cut short by the ringing of her phone. It was Matthew calling.
By the time she looked up again, Stella had vanished.
“Did she eat?” Matthew inquired as soon as Miley answered.
Glancing at the table laden with food, Miley responded, “She had the sandwich, but there’s still plenty left.”
Matthew’s sigh of relief was noticeable even through the phone.
“Did she say anything else?” Matthew asked.
Miley hesitated, unsure how to encapsulate her earlier conversation with Stella.
Her silence spoke volumes.
“I understand,” Matthew said, his tone tinged with sadness.
“Please look after her for me. If she needs anything, let me know.”
“Okay,” Miley said.
