Chapter 1007

Matthew would investigate the whole thing sooner or later.

“Before I got out of the taxi, the driver had a message for you.

He said he’s back and that you won’t have peace anymore.

”

Matthew’s demeanor shifted to one of seriousness.

“Did you see what he looked like?”

She shook her head.

“He wore a cap.

I couldn’t see his face clearly.

But I tried to sketch him from what I remember.

”

Stella handed over the drawing she had made earlier.

“His voice was hoarse, like he’s been through an ordeal.

”

Matthew studied the sketch, a sense of recognition flashing in his eyes.

“Okay,” he murmured, his mind racing with thoughts.

Stella watched Matthew, sensing the gravity of the situation.

After a lengthy silence, she ventured to ask, “Do you recognize him?”

Snapped back to reality, Matthew carefully stored the sketch.

“I’ll look into it thoroughly,” he assured her.

Stella nodded, her face etched with concern.

It was clear to her that Matthew didn’t know who the man was.

The uncertainty of facing an unseen enemy weighed heavily on her mind.

Matthew, unaware of Stella’s internal turmoil, gently rubbed her head.

“I’m just relieved you’re safe.

But I think it’s best if I drive you myself from now on.

”

Stella hesitated, torn between her independence and her safety.

Ultimately, the thought of another dangerous encounter compelled her to agree.

“Okay.

But please be careful yourself,” she urged.

“Why do you say that?” Matthew asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Stella’s voice was low but firm.

“Your grandma’s birthday is coming up.

We can’t let anything jeopardize that.

She would be too worried.
