Chapter 1307

The study door opened quietly.

Matthew scrunched his eyebrows but relaxed upon recognizing the footsteps as Stella’s, and thus, kept his eyes shut.

Stella’s soft hands began to massage his head as she inquired, “Are you done with work? Try to get some rest early tonight.

You’ve been going without a break for quite a while.

”

“I’m okay,” Matthew replied, cherishing the moment.

Eventually, he opened his eyes and smiled at Stella.

“Check the computer.

I’ve got a surprise for you.

”

Puzzled, Stella powered on the computer and was taken aback by what she saw.

She turned around and questioned, “Is this our wedding setup?

Did you come up with this on your own?”

Matthew nodded and leaned in a bit.

“I thought it would be more special this way.

”

Stella quickly responded, “Let’s design it together then.

It’s our wedding, after all.

It’ll mean more if we both work on it.

”

Matthew grinned, pulling Stella onto his Lap.

He grabbed the mouse and began to go over the design plans with her in his embrace.

“I’ll sketch whenever I get a chance.

I want our wedding day to feel sacred and full of meaning.

”

Stella smiled, turned her head to look at Matthew attentively.

She gently touched his eyebrows and said, “I just don’t want you to be so worn out.

Marriage isn’t just your responsibility.

”

She ki*sed Matthew on the cheek and directed, “Now, go get some rest and cease worrying about everything.

You can resume work once you’ve had a good sleep.

”

Matthew smiled and was about to respond when his phone interrupted him with its ring.

He checked the caller ID, his brow furrowed, and he took the call.

Stella tried to get up, not wanting to intrude on his work, but he motioned for her to stay.

Reluctantly, she remained in his embrace, overhearing the conversation.

“Mr.

Clark, the North city project is into its second phase, but we’ve encountered some problems.

”

“What happened?” Matthew inquired, his tone sharp.

“Some locals are claiming the project is intruding upon their land and is causing disruptions to halt our progress.

How do we proceed?”

Matthew’s face took on a grave expression.

Stella, getting the key message of the call, wisely chose that moment to stand up, and this time, Matthew didn’t hold her back.

Matthew’s lips pressed together.

“Didn’t we establish this agreement before the project commenced? You’re supposed to talk to the villagers first.

I’ll figure something out.

”

After ending the call, Matthew didn’t immediately put his phone away.

He coldly gazed at the call log that showed the conversation had lasted just over ten seconds.

Stella sensed the gravity of the situation and voiced her concern.

“Is it tough to handle?”

This snapped Matthew out of his thoughts.

He set his phone down and took a deep breath.

Offering Stella a reassuring smile, he said, “I’ve got it under control.

Why don’t you head to bed? I’ll follow as soon as I’m done here.
