Watching her retreating figure, he couldn’t help but smile, recalling her blushing visage.

In his thoughts, he added that he would do his utmost to support her, though he chose not to voice this, not wanting to pressure Stella further.

At his words, relief washed over Stella.

Stella’s cheeks flushed at Neville’s comment.

She swiftly lowered her gaze and took a sip of water.
