Chapter 1198

Her makeup was rich and striking, complete with eye-catching lip gloss.

Hearing her name, Matthew struggled to recall her in his memory.

Eventually, he recognized her and asked casually, “You’re out of the hospital?”

With a friendly nod, Elizabeth replied, “Yes, thanks for everything last time.

”

“It was nothing,” Matthew responded, his tone even and face expressionless.

Noticing the odd dynamics of their conversation, Luther asked, “So, you two have met before?”

Elizabeth said with a smile, “I’ve been trying to get to know Mr.

Clark, but he’s not making it easy.

I had to follow him here.

”

Her voice was light, but her gaze towards Matthew held more weight.

Before Matthew could respond, his phone rang.

Seeing Stella’s name, he smiled.

“Excuse me, I need to take this,” he said, answering the call with short, soft responses before hanging up.

After putting his phone away, he nodded to Luther apologetically.

“I have to go.

My wife’s waiting.

Sorry.

”

Without a glance at Elizabeth, he left the scene.

Elizabeth watched Matthew walk away, lost in thought for a moment.

“Mr.

and Mrs.

Clark seem so in love.

” Luther couldn’t hold back his admiration.

Snapped back to reality, Elizabeth looked surprised.

“Mr.

Clark’s married? He looks so young.

I assumed he was single.

”

Luther, realizing Elizabeth was new in town, explained warmly, “Mr.

Clark’s quite accomplished for his age, and his wife’s just as impressive.

Her name is Stella.

She’s the brains behind the costumes in this movie.

”

He rarely gave compliments, but speaking of Stella, his tone was full of respect.

“Stella’s known for her professionalism and dedication on set.

She and Matthew make a great team.

”

But as Luther praised Stella, Elizabeth’s face fell, unnoticed by him.

“I’ll introduce you two later,” Luther said, looking at Elizabeth.

“You two would get along great.

”

Elizabeth forced a smile.

“Really? Then I can’t wait to meet Mrs.

Clark.

”

Meanwhile, Matthew found Stella.

Before he could speak, she led him to a secluded spot.

Stella quickly asked, “What’s up? What did Neville tell you? Is he really getting together with Susie?”

A shadow passed over Matthew’s eyes as he remembered his talk with Neville.

After a brief pause, he replied, “Neville’s got his own issues, but he’s keeping them to himself.

”

Stella looked upset and a bit annoyed as she heard this.

“Miley’s been out of the country lately, and her phone’s been off.

She’s probably upset because of something he said.

And why does he have to date another woman the moment they split up?”

Seeing her frustration, Matthew gently squeezed her cheek and soothed her, “Don’t worry too much.

Their love life is their own matter.

We can only do so much.

Just be there for Miley when you get in touch.

”

Stella agreed, “That’s all I can really do.

”

As they spoke, Stella’s gaze fixed on the door, her expression changing.

Following her gaze, Matthew saw Neville walking in with Susie, and a middle-aged couple with them, likely her parents.

“What a lowlife!” Stella muttered, glaring at them with a look of scorn.
