He understood they needed to approach the situation carefully.
Racking his brain, Clint finally shook his head, admitting, “It’s been too long. I can’t recall her face. But she resembles Stella and approached her. I believe it’s her.”
Matthew’s concern deepened upon hearing Clint’s uncertain response.
He cautioned, “Let’s be careful.”
Clint agreed, “I get your point. Let’s arrange a DNA test in the next few days to be certain. DNA tests won’t lie.”
Matthew wanted to discuss further, but Stella’s call from the living room interrupted them.
“Matthew, it’s late. We should take Haley back to her hotel.” For some reason, calling Haley her mom felt strange to Stella.
As soon as they walked out of the house, Haley stopped, turned to Stella, and said with a smile, “I’m staying in a hotel nearby.”

“Oh, it’s okay. We’ll walk you there,” Stella replied with a smile.
“Matthew and I both live in Seamarsh. Since you haven’t found a job yet, why don’t you stay with us for the time being?”
Upon hearing this, Haley glanced at Matthew, looking somewhat conflicted.
Matthew must have felt her gaze because he raised his head and also looked at her. He simply asked, “What kind of work did you do before?”
As usual, his voice was indifferent and with a hint of alienation.
But his tone was much better than before.
Haley slightly eased up. She smiled at Matthew and answered, “I’m in the design field, just like Stella.”
“Is that so?” Matthew seemed unconvinced. “Can I see your design work?”
He thought Haley would find an excuse to decline. He didn’t expect her to nod without hesitation.
“Yes, of course.” After saying this, she took out her phone, opened the folder where her designs were saved, and handed it to Matthew.
Matthew took the phone and checked every design carefully.
Stella couldn’t resist her curiosity. She also leaned over and had a look.

When Stella saw Haley’s design drafts, she was amazed. Each stroke in every hand-drawn draft seemed casual, but they were remarkably exquisite when combined.
Stella couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Wow, you’re really talented! Your skills are profound, and your design concepts are very clear.”
Haley smiled faintly. She humbly responded with a few words and then fell silent.
When Matthew saw that Haley was unfazed by his probing, he returned the phone to her.
