His feelings wouldn’t have gotten out of his control if he had nipped it in the bud early enough.
Matthew opened his eyes and became even more agitated.
He took out his phone and looked through the phone book for quite some time. Finally, he dialed Amara’s number.
A voice dripped with surprise came from the other end.
“Matthew? To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?”
Matthew said indifferently, “Mom, it has been ages since we last met.
Let’s do dinner tonight.”
“Okay, great!” Amara agreed without hesitation.
After getting off work, Stella and Juliette went to a shopping mall in the center of the city.

Juliette was holding Stella’s arm as she led her upstairs and said, “Your cousin dropped his credit card before leaving for work this morning. For your effort, you should buy a beautiful dress with his card. I’m certain heads will turn when you show up at the wedding.”
“Come on now. You are the bride. I wouldn’t want to steal your thunder.” Stella declined with a smile.

“I will be sure to help you choose a perfect dress. You’re going to be the most beautiful bride in the world. ALL eyes will be on you.”
“You have great taste, so I trust your judgment.”
Juliette wasn’t even a tidbit worried now that Stella was accompanying her.
Meanwhile, Vivien had on a pair of big sunglasses. Her face wasn’t that visible, but she still hid it from passersby like a fugitive who was afraid of getting caught.
One hand was palmed to her cheek as she glanced at her watch and looked around anxiously.
Just then, a low-key Bentley pulled up in the parking lot just by the entrance.
Amara got out of it. Her curly hair was held up with a diamond hairpin. A few strands were on her cheeks.
As soon as Vivien saw her, she walked over with a smile, trying to hide her impatience.
“Hey, Amara!” Vivien gave her a once-over.
“You look so stunning tonight!”
Amara smiled gently.
“Did I keep you waiting? There was a traffic jam on the road just now.”
“Oh, no worries. I only just got here. Thanks for asking to see me tonight.” She walked inside arm-in-arm with Amara.
