“Mr. Aguilar, my wife hasn’t been feeling well of late. Can you stay in Seamarsh for a few more days and talk to her?” Matthew said to Mateo on the phone.
He believed Stella was in a bad mood because of Farris’ death and the car accident.
Mateo agreed. He quickly rearranged his schedule after that.
They both agreed on a time for the therapy appointment before ending the call.
Matthew took Stella to see Mateo that day.
They didn’t meet at Prosper Bay this time. Instead, they met on the top floor of a restaurant. The restaurant had a total of 52 floors, and the view on the top floor was quite beautiful.
Matthew booked all the rooms on the top floor in order to give Mateo and Stella some privacy.
It was only the three of them on the top floor.
Stella sat down opposite Mateo.
Stella unconsciously relaxed as the environment itself seemed relaxed.
“Do you have any hobbies, Mrs. Clark?” Mateo asked.
Stella was a little surprised at this question.

She remembered the last time she had met Mateo. He had shown her a video of a car accident, eliciting a visible reaction from her.
However, today he talked to her casually, as though he were only interested in having a chat with her.
Although surprised, Stella answered honestly.
Matthew, who was sitting next to her, listened attentively to the conversation between the two of them.

They chatted like this for a while. Mateo kept talking about her personal life, which felt a little strange to Stella.
Stella couldn’t help it anymore.
“Why don’t you ask me about the car accident?”
Mateo smiled at this. However, he didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said, “Should I assume that you are ready to face what happened since you asked this question now?”
Stella pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
After a few seconds, she turned to Matthew and said, “I saw a bakery downstairs when we came up. I’m craving some cake. Can you get some for me?”
How could such a top-dining establishment as this have no bakery?
Matthew understood what Stella was hinting at. It seemed she didn’t want him listening to their conversation.
