Dressed in a black windbreaker and hat, the man appeared strikingly cold.
He tilted his hat down, revealing his icy eyes. Stella shivered upon encountering his gaze.
Silently, the man fixed his eyes on her.
Stella’s palms began to sweat in the tense silence, but she steadied herself and greeted, “Hello, do you need something?”
He remained silent, his stare unbroken.
A hint of concern crossed Stella’s face.
Was he unable to speak?
Her fear gave way to sympathy.

Assuming his silent consent, Stella began assisting him down, struggling slightly with the weight of the man and his motorized wheelchair.
After managing the descent, Stella mopped her brow.
Suddenly, he said in a raspy voice, “Thank you.”
Stella replied hastily, “Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. Goodbye.”
With those words, she left the cemetery.
The man stood there, watching her until she was out of sight. He then looked away, his eyes narrowing a bit.
After a while, he pulled out his phone, glanced at a picture, and whispered, “Stella…”
A slight smile appeared on his face.
Having left the cemetery, Stella took a taxi back to Prosper Bay.
Just as she got out, she noticed Matthew’s car driving up.
She waited by the door for him.
As soon as his car stopped, he hurried out from the back seat, not even waiting for the driver to open the door.
He looked weary but his face Lit up at the sight of Stella.
Seeing his expression, Stella asked, “Is everything sorted with the Fairwa project?”
Matthew nodded and embraced her, giving her a ki*s.
