Sanford remained at the entrance, watching their car drive away until it disappeared.


    Just then, his phone rang.


    He nced at the number on the screen, and his smile faded.


    His expression shifted as he answered the call.

    We’ll discuss it when I get back.”

    Meanwhile, Matthew, who should have left earlier, quietly emerged from a corner.


    He watched Sanford’s car drive away, his expression unreadable.


    In Ste’s car, Be seized the opportunity to speak after remaining silent for so long.


    From the passenger seat, she turned to Ste, who was focused on driving, and ventured, “I noticed something seems off between you and Matthew.

    Ste hesitated briefly but firmly replied, “No.”


    Noticing the redness in Ste’s eyes, Be realized her daughter was trying to be brave.
