Chapter 1939

He reflected on Stella’s interactions with Lindsay and wondered if Stella would feel jealous.

Despite his uncertainty, he knew one thing for certain, that he was married to Stella, and that was unchangeable.

He reassured himself that the past was the past and Stella had no reason to feel jealous.

Yet, despite his attempts at self-assurance, a knot of unease lingered in his stomach.

Suddenly, a strong desire to hear Stella’s voice overwhelmed him.

After a moment’s contemplation, he picked up the phone and dialed her number.

Stella went shopping with Miley.

While they strolled around the mall, Miley held her hand and said in confusion, “When we were on the phone last time, I didn’t have time to ask you in detail.

Who are you going to pick up an engagement gift for? Is it someone we both know? Why haven’t I heard of any upcoming engagement party?”

Miley knew almost all of Stella’s friends, so she wondered why she hadn’t heard anything about it yet.

Stella answered honestly, “They are friends of the Clark family, so you probably don’t know them.

Matthew’s grandparents seem to attach great importance to them, so I hope I can choose a gift they like.

”

Miley nodded in understanding.

“If that’s the case, you should really pay more attention to it.

”

At that moment, Stella’s phone rang.

It was Matthew calling.

Stella was a little surprised when she saw his name flashing on the screen.

A sweet smile appeared on her beautiful face.

She pressed the answer button and said, “What’s up? Why did you suddenly call me at this time?”

“I miss you,” Matthew said in a deep and magnetic voice.

His words made Stella blush.

But when she inadvertently saw the meaningful look in Miley’s eyes, she suppressed her emotions and pretended to be calm.

She asked, “Aren’t you busy with your work?”

“So what? Can’t I think about my wife while working?” Matthew said, smiling faintly.

Stella was silent for a while.

She felt something was wrong.

She asked in a deep voice, “Why do I feel Like you are hiding something from me?”

They were always together except during working time, and Matthew seldom said sweet words.

But out of the blue, he called her just to say sweet nothings.

So, there must be a reason for this sudden change.

But Matthew didn’t mind her question.

Instead, he continued to tease her, “I suddenly miss you so much that I want to hear your voice.

Now that we’re talking, I don’t feel tired anymore.

”

Those were just normal words.

But his magnetic and deep voice added some special emotions to them.

Stella’s face blushed even more.

And when she raised her head, she saw Miley covering her mouth and giggling.

She couldn’t stand it anymore, so she quickly said, “You should go back to work.

Let’s talk at home later.
