Furthermore, your marriage was arranged by your families, and your relationship isn’t deeply rooted. If you truly care for Stella, ensure she feels secure.”
Observing Matthew’s puzzled expression, Miley cut to the chase.
“A wedding is every girl’s dream, but you and Stella currently only have a marriage certificate, devoid of a proper wedding ceremony. To outsiders, it may seem Like you still have reservations about this marriage, as you haven’t even had a wedding.”
Matthew grasped the implication and assured her, “I will do what needs to be done. You don’t need to worry.”
Miley didn’t press the matter further. She turned to let Matthew inside.
“Stella is in the living room. Bring her back home. Let’s not make her any sadder in the future.”
Matthew nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded inside.
In the living room, Stella lay on the sofa, peacefully asleep. She didn’t stir as Matthew gently picked her up.
As he gazed at her slumbering face, Matthew felt a sense of calm wash over him, and he whispered, “I’m sorry.”
The following day, when Stella awoke, she found herself in a spacious and well-lit bedroom, a stark contrast to the familiar surroundings of Miley’s villa.
Instead of a sofa beneath her, there was a large bed.
Startled, Stella sat up abruptly, her eyes widening in shock.
This was Matthew’s room, She glanced down at the clothes she was wearing, realizing they were the same ones she had worn the previous night.

She frowned, unable to recall how she had ended up back at Matthew’s villa.
Stella threw off the covers and hurried downstairs.

On the first floor, she found Erin cleaning. When Erin spotted her, she paused and greeted her with a warm smile.
“Mrs. Clark, you’re awake. Mr. Clark prepared breakfast himself early this morning.”
Stella responded with an awkward smile. She looked around, trying to act as though nothing unusual had happened.
“Erin, where’s Matthew?”
“He seemed have gone on a business trip. He left in a hurry,” Erin replied and set the tableware.
As Stella was about to say something further, breaking news flashed on the TV in the living room.
“Farris Barnes from Seamarsh Hospital, who had been suspended, has now been reinstated. His suspension was due to false accusations made by a colleague from the same department, and the colleague has since been dismissed…”
Stella found herself in a state of shock, her gaze fixated on the television screen.
