Ch.1161 Chapter 1164 - When Love Comes Late

Gasping for breath, Miley stared at the ceiling as the remnants of the dream lingered.

âMiley?â Stella, sensing her distress, hurried to her side.

âAre you hungry? What would you like to eat? Iâll whip something up for you.

Stellaâs voice brought Miley back to reality.

She sat up, her voice hoarse as she asked, âWhat time is it now?â

âItâs seven in the evening.

Youâve been asleep all afternoon,â Stella answered with concern.

âMaybe you should have something to eat.

Reflecting on the events of the day, Miley felt a weight on her spirit.

She shook her head.

âIâm not hungry, Stella.

You can go back.

I just need some time alone.

âMiley.

â Stella gently held Mileyâs hand.

âThereâs been a big misunderstanding about Neville this morning.

He spent the night at Susieâs place because he got hurt while protecting herâ¦â

âWell, Stella, you donât have to speak for him.

â Miley, clearly agitated, cut her off mid-sentence.

Stella clarified, âIâm not trying to defend himâ¦â

âStella.

â Miley fixed her with a stern look.

âIf it was just a misunderstanding, and he cared about me, he wouldâve reached out instead of leaving me to overthink everything all night.

She smirked with a touch of self-deprecation.

âIf he had nothing to hide with that girl, why would he lie? The moment he lied, it felt like a betrayal.

Attempting to console her, Stella said, âDonât dwell on it too much.

You can decide after hearing Nevilleâs explanation.

Miley forced a smile and said, âYou can go home now.

Thanks for being with me last night.

Go rest.

Donât worry.

Iâll be okay.

With those words, Stella had no choice but to leave.

Before departing, she expressed her concern.

âIf you need anything, reach out anytime.

âOkay.

â Miley agreed readily.

When Stella returned to Prosper Bay, she found Matthew at home.

The sight of him made her weary, but she mustered the strength to approach and embraced him tightly, seeking comfort in his arms.

In a muffled voice, she asked, âIs Neville badly hurt?â

Matthew gently ran his fingers through her hair and reassured her, âHis thigh femoral nerves and bones are injured, but itâs not a major issue.

Heâll recover after the operation.

âOkay.

â Stella nodded against his chest, tightening her hold on him.

As Matthew held her, he couldnât ignore the tension in the air regarding Neville and Miley.

Trying to console her, he suggested, âOnce Neville is better, he will patch things up with Miley.

Donât worry.

Stella heaved a sigh.

âI hope they can get back together as soon as possible.

Itâs tough for Miley to navigate relationships.

Even if it ends, it shouldnât be like this.
