Leo, still reeling from pain, could only snort in response, unable to articulate his thoughts.

Inside the car, Stella sat in the front passenger seat, her head bowed in silence.

Matthew stole glances at her while driving, not daring to break the quiet.

He understood Stella needed this moment of solitude.

Leo’s return had reopened a painful chapter in Stella’s life, exposing old wounds that had never fully healed.

After a prolonged silence, Matthew couldn’t contain his concern any Longer.

“Stella, I promise to take care of everything.

Stella finally lifted her head, tears glistening in her red eyes as she locked gazes with Matthew.

After a moment, she shook her head slowly but with conviction.

“No, I’m not afraid of him.

Stella couldn’t help but smile wryly.
