Chapter 1160
When Love Comes Late
But as soon as the recognizable figure appeared before her, Miley couldnât help but gasp.
Stepping out of the villa, Neville and a woman halted in their tracks by the entrance.
She extended her hand, gripping his arm, and he merely glanced down, offering no resistance.
The sight left Stella stunned.
Regaining her composure, she noticed Miley had already darted towards them.

âMileyâ¦â Stella called out, following worriedly.
Nevilleâs eyes widened in surprise upon seeing Miley.
âMiley? What are you doing here?â he asked, puzzled.
Miley, without a word, glared at the womanâs hand on Nevilleâs arm.
Feeling the intensity of Mileyâs gaze, Susie quickly let go.
âYou should beâ¦â
Susie wanted to greet Miley, but Miley cut her off, confronting Neville.
âWhy was your phone off?â
âMy battery died,â Neville replied.
âWhy didnât you charge it?â Miley demanded, her voice tinged with anger, thoughts of Neville and Susie spending the night together swirling in her head.
Realizing Mileyâs misconception, Susie clarified, âHe was at my place, but I didnât have the right charger for his phone.
â
Her words only aggravated Miley further.
Mileyâs eyes instantly reddened.
She inhaled deeply and pressed on, âNeville, did you miss our date not because of some last-minute event, but to be with her?â
âYouâve got it wrong, Miley.
â As Neville stepped closer, Miley backed away.
She fixed her gaze on him and demanded, âJust tell me, were you here last night? Yes or no?â

âMiley, Listen to meâ¦â Sensing her distress, Neville grabbed her hand firmly, feeling its coldness.
He rubbed it gently, trying to soothe her.
âMiley, please, calm down.
Let me explain.
â
Her eyes, filled with heartache, pierced him.
Miley, slightly calmer, looked down, aware that Neville was dodging her question.
She gave a sad smile and said coldly, âThereâs no need for explanations.
Regardless of the opinions others held about you in the past, I never bought into it.
I sensed your genuine care and consideration for me.
I firmly believed youâd changed, butâ¦â
Tears brimmed in Mileyâs eyes, her body shaking.
She struggled to keep her voice steady.
âNeville, you make me feel like an idiot.
â
She had always scorned those who lost themselves in love, vowing not to be like them.
Yet, as her feelings for Neville grew, she forgot her own warnings.
