Chapter 1193
When Love Comes Late
Stella had come across some gossip about Neville and Susie in the news recently.
At the time, she dismissed it as mere speculation, unwilling to accept that Neville had moved on so quickly after breaking up with Miley.
But now, seeing Neville with Susie at the party, Stella was forced to reconsider her thoughts about him.
She silently branded him as heartless.
Nudging Matthew, who looked equally baffle, she gestured towards Neville.
In a hushed tone, Matthew suggested, âStay here a minute.
Iâll go have a word with Neville.
â
âSure.
â Stella was clearly in a sour mood and her replies were short and to the point.
She felt a pang of sympathy for Miley, who had unfortunately fallen for the wrong guy.
After spending some time consoling Stella, Matthew made his way over to Neville.
As Matthew approached, Neville introduced Susie to him with a grin.
âMatthew, meet Susie Blakely, my girlfriend.
â
After the introductions, Matthew and Susie exchanged brief nods.
Then, Matthew turned to Neville.
âI need to talk to you in private.
Now.

âWhy the secrecy? Weâre all friends here.
Just say it,â Neville responded with a mischievous smile.
Not amused, Matthew insisted, âItâs personal.
Just come with me.
â
He then headed towards the lounge at the back of the banquet hall.
Neville reassured Susie, âStay here, Iâll be right back.
â
âDonât worry about me,â Susie replied, showing understanding and kindness.
Neville nodded and followed Matthew.
Once they were alone, he asked, âWhatâs got you so worked up?â
With a serious look, Matthew questioned, âWhatâs going on between you and Miss Blakely?â
Neville scoffed, âWhatâs up with you? You know me well enough.
I switch girlfriends like I switch shirts.
Whyâs it bothering you so much?â
Matthew gazed at him, searching for any sign of pretense in Nevilleâs nonchalant demeanor, but found nothing but apathy.
Matthewâs voice was firm.
âCome on, Neville, donât play dumb with me.
Youâve got a soft spot for Miley.
Whyâd you dump her all of a sudden?
