Chapter 1891

Lindsay touched her stomach and gave an awkward smile.

“I guess I am a bit hungry, but isn’t it too late? Wouldn’t it be a bother to Erin?”

Stella got up and said, “Not at all.

I’ll make a bowl of noodles for you myself.

”

“Then I’ll look forward to a good meal,” Lindsay said cheerfully, linking arms with Stella.

When they headed downstairs, Matthew was already gone.

Stella went into the kitchen and quickly prepared a bowl of noodles.

After Lindsay had eaten, they both returned to their rooms.

In the master bedroom, Matthew, having taken a shower, Leaned against the headboard to handle some business.

Seeing Stella sit down at the dressing table, he got up, embraced her, and ki*sed her cheek.

“What’s going on with Lindsay?” he asked.

Stella shook her head and said, “It’s nothing serious.

She’s just gotten back from abroad and got hurt.

She’s feeling quite sensitive.

”

Matthew remained silent.

He extended his hands and gently massaged Stella’s temples.

“You’ve been busy all day.

Feeling tired?”

Stella closed her eyes, feeling relaxed, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

“Just a bit.

”

Suddenly, Matthew asked, “How about I help you with a shower?”

Stella quickly opened her eyes when she heard this, thinking she must have misheard.

Seeing Matthew’s earnest expression, she felt her cheeks warm.

Under Matthew’s steady gaze, Stella’s face grew increasingly red.

She pushed him away, half-shy, half-annoyed.

“What are you saying? I’m grown up.

I can manage on my own!”

Matthew playfully tugged at her reddened earlobe and chuckled.

“You’re my wife.

Why are you still shy?”

Stella, speechless, just glared at him.

Matthew chuckled.

“Relax, I’m just teasing.

You said you’re tired, right? Let me help you shower so you can rest more.

”

He lifted her in his arms and headed for the bathroom.

“Ah!” Stella was surprised.

She widened her eyes and said, “Put me down! I’m not tired.

I can do it myself!”

Matthew responded casually, “Don’t be shy.

It’s perfectly normal for a husband to help his wife bathe.

”

This was the first time Stella had heard such an explanation.

She said with annoyance, “You just made that up, didn’t you?”

Matthew just smiled.

“Does it really matter?”

As he didn’t give her a chance to object further, Stella blushed deeply but allowed him to carry her in silence.

Just as they were about to enter the bathroom, there was a knock at the bedroom door.

From outside, Lindsay’s careful voice called out, “Stella, are you asleep?”
