“Is it actually true? Is Stella Matthew’s spouse? The elusive wife we’ve only heard rumors about?”

“Considering Stella’s background, how did the Clark family consent to this union?”
“We should keep quiet. Didn’t you catch Matthew’s warning earlier?”
Stella stared at Matthew in disbelief.
During her time working for him, she knew he preferred to keep his life private low-key, much more his marriage.

His gaze was soft yet intense, almost as if he had the power to draw her into his world.
Subconsciously, she lowered her gaze and grasped Matthew’s hand.
“I…
I can do it myself.”
Matthew frowned slightly but reassured her in a soft tone, “Don’t move. You can’t see the injured area. This will be over quickly.”
He gently removed Stella’s hand, leaving her no reason to protest.
