Chapter 320

“Hold on.

“Yes?” Stella asked, as she turned around to look at him.

“I’ll take you.

It’s not safe for you to go alone by this time.

Plus, you got lost the last time,” Matthew stated calmly.

“No, no, it’s fine.

You don’t need to do that,” Stella said, her words coming out rushed.

Matthew walked straight to her.

“The streetlights are also broken, so let’s go.

”

Stella stayed silent.

Thinking back, she remembered that the streetlights were actually broken.

That was why she had fallen.

“You came here and got injured because of me.

The least I should do is take you home,” Matthew insisted.

Stella finally gave in and accepted.

She followed behind him as he walked out first.

Stella used the opportunity to secretly text Miley.

Matthew slowed down, so they could walk side by side.

It was very dark.

The sound of the leaves rustling in the wind could be heard clearly.

Stella swallowed the lump in her throat, her fear growing worse.

Matthew noticed as he stared softly at her.

“You can hold onto my shirt if you’re scared.

”

Stella was in shock.

She wasn’t expecting Matthew to say that.

She quickly regained her composure.

“I’m fine, I’m not scared.

Thank you.

”

Matthew didn’t press further.

He looked ahead without another word.

There was a heavy silence between them.

After some minutes of walking, they finally saw a few working streetlights up ahead.

Miley was standing at the intersection.

“Stella!” she yelled as she waved.
