Matthew clenched his fists, trying to contain his overwhelming emotions.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this month,” he replied, feigning nonchalance.
Stella’s disappointment was palpable, but she responded with understanding and grace.
“That’s alright. I just wanted to give you a birthday gift. If you can’t come back, please share your address, and I’ll send it to you.”
Matthew’s heart soared at the thought of Stella preparing a gift for him.
It was a clear indication that she hadn’t given up on their marriage, and it filled him with hope.
He still had a chance to make things right.

“Thank you for preparing a gift for me.”
As Stella prepared to hang up the call, she shared her recent achievement.
“I won first place in the KlassicLuxe Design Competition, and my boss transferred me to the design department as the department head. You played a significant role in all of this. Once you return, I’d Like to treat you to a celebratory dinner.”
Matthew offered his congratulations and gladly accepted her invitation.
However, beneath the surface, his mood remained heavy and complex.
He knew everything that Stella said, and he even participated in them.
But he participated in these as her boss.
He yearned for the day when he could be more than just her boss, the day he could share in her joys and sorrows as her husband.
But now Stella finally had a good impression of Maverick. If he appeared abruptly, it would definitely break the hard-won happiness.
Matthew’s mood was heavy and complicated.
When would that day finally arrive?
Two days flew by, and Stella meticulously crafted a birthday plan for Matthew. It was time to discuss the details with Neville.
“When are you available to meet and go over Mr. Clark’s birthday party plan?” she asked over the phone.
Neville’s enthusiasm was palpable as he responded, “I’ll send you the address. You can come over after work tonight.”
