This statement confused Ste even more.
Matthew stared at her, his eyes full of unsaid emotions.
He knew why Ste had cried when she was watching the movie.
The reason she had given was a lie.
Besides, Miley had told him before.
He knew what Ste wanted.
He owed her a lot in their marriage.
Matthew was about to make a promise to her when someone called Ste.
Ste heard it too and turned to see who it was.
It was Farris.
After Farris had been suspended and Ste had visited him, they had lost touch for a while.
Ste was taken aback to see Farris show up out of the blue.
He was thinner, his clothes hanging off him as if they might fall at any moment.
His beard was a mess, and he seemed rough around the edges, a stark contrast to his once neat and tidy self.
Ste was puzzled.
Hadn’t he returned to his job? Why did he still look so deste?
She walked over quickly and asked gently, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work? What brings you to the cinema?”
She recalled how Farris was always at the hospital when her grandfather was sick, almost as if he never left.
But Farris dodged her question.
He nced at Matthew and then asked Ste, “Can we talk?”

Ste was on the verge of agreeing, but the thought of Matthew still being there made her pause.
She was aware of Matthew’s dislike for Farris, particrly after their recent spat concerning Farris.
She didn’t want to stir Matthew’s temper at this time.
After a brief moment of indecision, Ste turned to Matthew.
“Farris seems a bit off.
I want to talk to him.
Are you good with that?”
Matthew looked serious, casting a cold nce at Farris.
Yet, he decided to honor Ste’s decision.
He gave a nod.
“I’ll wait for you here.
”
Without dy, Ste walked off with Farris to a secluded spot.
She probed once more, “Were you here to watch a movie?”
Farris waved his movie ticket.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
