Chapter 238: May I

After the meal, Stella headed back to her room, which was just Matteo's room assigned to her by him. For some reason, she could not bear being away from him, but since he had just gotten back home, she needed to give him time to have his rest – wherever he had it. 

Ever since her compulsory stay in his mansion, he had alienated himself from his original bed space, only coming into the room whenever he had need for something like clothing and accessories. Not once did he disrespect her or invade her privacy, at some point, she began to feel guilty that she had somehow taken over the house as hers.

And what's worse, she was beginning to grow into it. It disturbed her that when the time would come for her to leave the house, she would miss it very dearly, wishing that somehow, she would have a chance to stay longer. In such a case, she would have to be someone special to Matteo in order to be granted such a favor.

Matteo's girlfriend.
