Chapter 1173
When Love Comes Late
Miley gradually stopped crying after a while.
Stella gently guided her back to the car.
Exhausted from her tears and the effects of alcohol, Miley leaned on Stella, quickly falling asleep.
Stroking Mileyâs hair back from her face, Stella let out a tired sigh.
She leaned towards Matthew in the front seat and said, âHave a word with Neville when you can.
He needs to decide what he wants.
Itâs not fair to keep hurting Miley like this.
â
âUnderstood.
With a serious look, Matthew nodded.
âIâll talk to him, donât worry.
â
Stella stayed quiet, not wanting to disturb Miley.
The car moved quietly through the streets.
When they reached Mileyâs house, Stella got out first, whispering to Miley, âWeâre home.
â
Miley mumbled a response, her eyes still closed.
Stella fished out the keys and helped Miley out of the car.
As they approached the door, a manâs voice broke the silence.
âLet me help her inside.
â
Stella and Matthew turned towards where the voice came from.
Stella had been holding back her anger all evening.
Seeing Neville, she snapped, âReally? Youâre coming now? Where on earth have you been?â
âIâm sorry, Stella.
Iâ¦â
âDonât apologize to me! Iâm not the one you should be apologizing to!â
Stella took a quick glance at Miley and inhaled deeply to calm herself.
âWhy are you just coming?â
âIâm sorry; itâs all my faultâ¦â As Neville spoke, Miley fell forward.
He immediately caught her.
âIâm really sorry for all the trouble.
You guys can head back now.
Iâll take Miley in; itâs late.
â
Stella stared at him coldly and refused to let go of Miley.
A few seconds of silence passed before Matthew finally stepped in.
He pulled Stella back.
Neville was finally able to hold Miley completely.

stepped forward again, but Matthew quickly intervened.
âMy love, we should let them sort it out themselves.
â
âI promise you, Stella, Iâll explain everything to Miley.
â Neville seemed serious.
Stella could tell that he was being sincere, her anger began to subside slowly.
âYou better learn to treat her right if you really want to be with her.
â
âI do and I will.
I promise.
You should head back.
Iâll make sure sheâs okay.
â With that, Neville scooped Miley up in his arms and walked inside, leaving Matthew and Stella standing outside.
Stella finally decided to let them handle it themselves and walked away with Matthew.
Matthew drove off after they settled in the car.
They soon arrived at their villa.
Matthew let out a long sigh as he parked the car.
âFinallyâ¦just us.
