What Matthew said made sense to Stella.
Matthew then reached out, gently pinched her cheek, and said with a smile, “Besides, you are her designer. Her assistant can take care of it. You don’t have to worry about her. Let’s have our meal.”
Stella smiled back at him before sitting down.
As soon as she sat down, the waiter brought their food.
Stella dug in, forgetting what had just happened.
Matthew put down his fork and stared at Stella.
Stella noticed him staring at her and grew shy.
Blushing, she put down her fork and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
Her hand moved to her face, but Matthew stopped her and held her hand tightly, and his rough thumb caressed the back of her hand.
“What’s wrong?” Stella asked. Her hand began to itch, and she tried to pull it away.

“What do you want us to do?” she asked curiously.

Stella’s heart skipped a beat.
“It was delayed before, and I didn’t handle things properly afterwards.” Matthew felt guilty. If the public had known, Alina would not have doubted when he told her that Stella was his wife.
“It’s all my fault. I’ll make sure it happens this time,” Matthew promised.
After composing herself, Stella asked, “Is this because of Alina?”
“No. This has been on my mind for a while,” Matthew said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose outside the restaurant. One of the voices involved sounded like Alina’s voice.
Stella looked at Matthew with worry written all over her face.
“What’s going on? We should go have a look.”
