Noticing his distress, Lucia inquired, âWhatâs wrong? Is something amiss?â
Seeing that Matthew remained silent, she moved closer and glanced at his phone.

Matthewâs brows furrowed as he shook his head, his voice filled with uncertainty.
âI donât know.

You should ask her for the reason first.

Her words brought Matthew back to the present.
He collected himself and decided to message Stella to inquire about the reason behind her request.
Stellaâs reply was swift, stating, âLetâs discuss it face to face.

Matthew was taken aback by her response.
He hesitated, uncertain about how to proceed.
He didnât want to meet Stella in person right now, fearing that it would reveal the truth about his identity as Matthew.
If Stella misunderstood that he was hiding it from her on purpose, the consequence might be bad.
He didnât dare to take the risk.
Matthew racked his brains to come up with a way to refuse Stellaâs request.
But before he could think of an idea, he received another message from Stella again.
âI hope we can meet as soon as possible.
â
Matthew was stunned.
