Chapter 1154
When Love Comes Late
Neville blinked in surprise.
âWhat did you just say?â
Realizing the potential misunderstanding, Susie rushed to explain, âIâm afraid Damonâs men are still keeping watch outside the villa.
Itâs not safe for you to leave, especially with your injury.
Iâve got some empty rooms.
Stay the night, and weâll call the police tomorrow.
Iâm really sorry for dragging you into this mess.
â
Her genuine apology left Neville feeling he couldnât turn down her offer.
Neville scratched his head.
Internally, he agreed-it wasnât ideal to drive in his current state.
âI get it.
Iâll stay here tonight, and tomorrow, Iâll join you when you contact the police.
â
âGreat.
Let me show you to your room,â Susie said with a smile.
Neville nodded.
Considering Nevilleâs injury made stairs a challenge, Susie suggested the guest room downstairs.
âALL the rooms here are clean.
Use anything you need in the bathroom.
If thereâs anything else, just give me a shout, and Iâll have it brought to you right away.
â
Looking around the room, Neville remarked, âItâs fine.
Itâs just for the night.
Donât trouble yourself.
â
Susie nodded.
âAlright, get some rest.
Good night.
â
With that, she left the room.
Back in her own room, Susieâs father, Wyatt Blakely, called.
âHow did your date with Neville go? What are your thoughts on him?â
A hint of shyness played on Susieâs face, though she remained unaware of it.
Unconsciously, she changed her initial plan of casual flirting.
âWe had a good time.
Nevilleâs a gentleman, quite charming.
I want to know more about him.

Miley couldnât hide her disappointment as she received Nevilleâs message.
After a brief pause, she pulled herself together and messaged back.
âNo problem.
We can go to the cinema after you finish your work.
â
As she was about to send the message, an unknown number popped up on her phone.
Taking a moment, Miley answered.
The caller got straight to the point.
âIâm Nevilleâs mother.
Is this Miley? Can you spare some time now? We need to talk in person.
â
Though it sounded like a request, the tone allowed no room for refusal.
Despite disliking Amya, Miley kept her response polite for Nevilleâs sake.
âItâs late.
Is there something urgent, Mrs.
Pierce?â
