This statement confused Stella even more.
Matthew stared at her, his eyes full of unsaid emotions.
He knew why Stella had cried when she was watching the movie. The reason she had given was a lie.
Besides, Miley had told him before. He knew what Stella wanted.
He owed her a lot in their marriage.
Matthew was about to make a promise to her when someone called Stella.
Stella heard it too and turned to see who it was. It was Farris.
After Farris had been suspended and Stella had visited him, they had lost touch for a while.
Stella was taken aback to see Farris show up out of the blue.
He was thinner, his clothes hanging off him as if they might fall at any moment. His beard was a mess, and he seemed rough around the edges, a stark contrast to his once neat and tidy self.
Stella was puzzled. Hadn’t he returned to his job? Why did he still look so desolate?
She walked over quickly and asked gently, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work? What brings you to the cinema?”
She recalled how Farris was always at the hospital when her grandfather was sick, almost as if he never left.
But Farris dodged her question. He glanced at Matthew and then asked Stella, “Can we talk?”

Stella was on the verge of agreeing, but the thought of Matthew still being there made her pause.
She was aware of Matthew’s dislike for Farris, particularly after their recent spat concerning Farris. She didn’t want to stir Matthew’s temper at this time.
After a brief moment of indecision, Stella turned to Matthew.
“Farris seems a bit off. I want to talk to him. Are you good with that?”
Matthew looked serious, casting a cold glance at Farris. Yet, he decided to honor Stella’s decision.
He gave a nod.
“I’ll wait for you here.”
Without delay, Stella walked off with Farris to a secluded spot.
She probed once more, “Were you here to watch a movie?”
Farris waved his movie ticket.
