âYou look incredibly beautiful,â he affirmed.
Stella, visibly relieved, admired herself in the mirror, pleased with the dress.
She remembered the phone call and asked, âWho was on the phone?â
âIt was your grandfather.
Iâll send him some photos later,â Matthew replied, taking out his phone to capture the moment.
The shopâs patrons watched the couple, their affection for each other evident, and couldnât help but feel a touch of envy.
Matthew sent the photos to Clint and received his praises promptly.
Reading Clintâs message, Stellaâs emotions swelled.
âIf my parents could see this, they would be so happy.

Matthew embraced her gently, ki*sing her forehead.
âWeâll find your parents soon.
Stay strong, Stella.
Iâm here for you, always.

His grip on her hand was firm, a silent promise of unending support.
In the mirror, they looked perfectly matched.
Stellaâs smile beamed, a reflection of her happiness.
Nikolai glanced at the watch on his wrist as he interrupted their cute moment.

Hey, you! Fix her makeup and hair.

Stella had put on light makeup before coming, but Nikolai needed everything to be perfect.
Once everything was fixed, Nikolai took the photos of them.

âItâs too late.
We should shoot in the studio first.
You can take Stella to sho

She turned to look up at Matthew.
