Chapter 1179
When Love Comes Late
âSorry, Iâve been swamped with work and didnât check my phone,â Miley replied softly.
Stella let out a relieved breath, sensing nothing amiss in Mileyâs voice.
Then, she asked cautiously, âAbout last night⦠Is everything okay with you and Neville?â
There was a brief silence before Miley responded calmly, âWeâve broken up.
â
Stella was shocked.
Things seemed like Neville and Miley were going to end well last night.
She expected them to make up.
âWhat happened exactly? Neville actually said that?â Stella asked in disbelief.
Miley cut her off.
âItâs normal for couples to break up, Stella.
Donât worry about me, Iâm fine.
I caused you way too much trouble these past few days.
Iâll talk to you later, okay?â
âBut Mileyâ¦â Stella wanted to say something more, but Miley hung up.
Miley was trying to act tough.
And it only made Stella worry more.
Stella went back to Prosper Bay.
As she got to the gate, she saw Matthewâs car being parked.
Matthew got out of the car and walked to her.
He hugged her tightly.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you okay?â
With his arm wrapped around her, holding her close to him, he walked into the house.
Stella looked up at him.
âNeville broke up with Miley.
Did you know?â
She just couldnât get it no matter how much she pondered on it.

The restaurant was decorated extremely well, but Neville stood Miley up and broke up with her after saying he would take care of her.
Stella just couldnât figure it out.
What was wrong with Neville?
Matthew paused for a few seconds.
âI didnât know.
I couldnât get in touch with him today either.
â
Knowing how much Stella cared about the matter, he tried reaching out to Neville when he got to the company, but failed to get through.
Stella let out a long sigh.
âI just donât get him!â
Matthew ruffled her hair gently.
âTheyâve decided.
All we can do now is respect their decisions.
â
Stella knew that already but just couldnât stop herself from worrying.
Matthew lowered his head to meet her eyes.
âDonât be upset, sweetheart.
I have good news.
â
âWhat ?â
