Chapter 1150
When Love Comes Late
As the evening neared its end, Susie raised her glass to Neville.
âWe share some similarities in character.
Even if we canât be a couple, being friends isnât that bad.
â
Neville smiled.
âSure, Iâll bring my girlfriend to see you next time.
â
At ten oâclock, the two left the restaurant.
Considering Susie had a bit to drink, Neville inquired, âDid you drive here?
Need me to call you a driver?â
Susie shook her head.
âI took a taxi here.
I can call another one.
â
She reached for her phone.
After a brief pause, Neville stopped her.
âNever mind.
Iâll give you a ride back.
â
He felt a sense of indebtedness to Susie.
The Blakely familyâs residence was in the suburbs, and it was getting late.
Heâd feel more guilty if anything happened to her.
It was his way of repaying the favor.
Susie agreed happily, and they got into the car.
The journey back transpired in silence.
Having covered almost every topic during dinner, there wasnât much left to discuss.
After all, the two were practically strangers.
Feeling a bit drowsy, Susie leaned against the seat.

Neville glanced at the rearview mirror.
Suddenly, he noticed a car tailing them closely.
Nevilleâs frown deepened.
He initially dismissed his concern as overthinking.
Yet, when he pressed the accelerator and the car behind them mimicked their speed, his unease heightened.
Glancing at Susie, he delivered a serious warning.
âWake up.
Sit tight.
Iâm going to speed up.
â
Startled, Susie jolted awake, sitting upright.
Nervously, she asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Neville glanced at the rearview mirror and explained, âThereâs a car following us.
Youâre an actress.
Iâm assuming they are reporters.
We need to lose them.
â
He clarified the situation with Susie.
The last thing he wanted was to get hounded by reporters.
Taking in his words, Susie glanced at the car trailing them, then back at Neville, smiling in relief.
âItâs okay.
â
Nevilleâs frown persisted as he asked, âWhy?â
