Matthew came up and shut the passenger door firmly, his voice cool and detached.


    “No one but my wife sits in the front passenger seat of my car.


    ”


    Elizabeth’s eyes met Matthew’s, her expression one of slight confusion.


    She had hoped she might persuade Matthew to offer her a ride, yet her n seemed to fail.


    Not wanting to appear too eager, she said casually, “I’m fine with riding in any car.


    Thanks, Luka.


    ”


    However, her words hung in the air unanswered.


    Feeling a bit awkward, Elizabeth inhaled deeply, held her head high, turned around, and climbed into Luka’s car.


    Ste sent Luka a thankful nce, silently mouthing “thank you” to him.


    Luka simply smirked, rolled up the window, and drove off.


    As they left, Matthew and Ste also got into their car together.


    On their drive home, Ste pulled out Be’s gift, inspecting it with a smile.

    Thinking back to Luther’s words at the party, she asked, “Was Be’s invitation because of you?”


    Matthew gave a nod.


    “Didn’t you want to meet more top fashion designers? I saw the chance and asked Luther for a favor.


    Sadly, Be had somethinge up and couldn’t make it.


    ”


    Matthew chose not to reveal the real reason behind Be’s invitation, thinking it wasn’t the right time for the truth.


    Ste put the gift aside, gazing sincerely at Matthew.


    “Thank you, my love.


    You’re always so kind to me.

    Matthew looked at her and smiled warmly.


    “You’re my wife.


    It’s my job to make your dreamse true.


    No thanks needed.


    ”


    Ste gave a nod of appreciation and let out a light sigh, filled with a bit of regret.


    “This time, I missed the chance to meet Be.


    Do you think we’ll have another chanceter on?”


    Matthew squinted his eyes thoughtfully and said in a soft tone, “As long as she stays in Seamarsh, our paths are bound to cross.

    His words sparked a hopeful smile on Ste’s face.


    “Yes, I’m sure I’ll meet her someday!”


    But then, her thoughts drifted to Elizabeth’s recent behavior, and her expression changed.


    “But Be’s daughter seems tough to handle.


    ”


    She nced at Matthew, a hint of concern in her voice.


    “And it seems she’s taken a liking to you.


    Do you think she’ll make things difficult for me if we work together?”


    Matthew’s face turned serious as he responded firmly, “I don’t Like her.


    You’re the only woman for me.


    ”


    Ste believed him.


    She had only meant to tease, not expecting him to be so straightforward.


    His serious manner stopped her from teasing further.


    She smiled and reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ve known you long enough to understand.


    ”


    After parking the car, he quipped with a hint of jest, “Miss, we’ve arrived.
