Chapter 1194
When Love Comes Late
If youâre just trying to tick her off, thatâs low!â
Matthew had seen how Neville had changed for Miley, and now, Nevilleâs attitude of throwing it all away suggested he was hiding something.
Neville didnât reply.
He just walked over to the lounge fridge and grabbed a beer.
After downing half the bottle, he said casually, âMatthew, youâre sticking your nose in too much.
â
He smirked, forcing a relaxed look.
âWhether Miley and I were in love doesnât matter.
My girl now is Susie, from the Blakely family.
â
He emphasized Susieâs family name, as if to reassure himself.
âDonât spread rumors when youâre out.
Susieâs promised that Blakely Group will back Prosperity Group.
We wonât need to look for another partner.
Isnât that good for both of us?â Neville continued.
After making his statement, Neville glanced up at Matthew, offering another smile.
This only served to irritate Matthew more.
He looked Neville in the eye and said firmly, âNeville, you donât have to give up your happiness for me.
This is your last chance to be honest.
What are you hiding?â
Neville, under Matthewâs intense gaze, felt a strong impulse to confess everything.

Yet, he questioned the point of such honesty.
He was impotent now, unable to bring joy to Miley.
In his mind, it was better to let her go, to seek her own happiness.
As for himself, he had resigned to simply getting by, abandoning the pursuit of happiness.
Finishing off his half-empty beer bottle with a sense of detachment, Neville replied coldly, âMatthew, no matter what you ask, thatâs all Iâm going to say.
Drop it, or weâre no longer friends.

Meanwhile, Stella had been waiting in the rest area for quite some time, with no sign of Matthew or Neville.
She considered reaching out to Miley but hesitated, fearing it might complicate things.
She hoped Miley, busy with work, might return having moved past the heartache of the breakup.
Feeling relieved, Stella sat quietly for a while.
Suddenly, her stomach growled, reminding her that she hadnât eaten all day.
She got up and headed to the dining area, where a dazzling array of desserts awaited.
A cake caught her eye, but her dress made it difficult to reach.
Just then, a commotion erupted behind her.
Someone exclaimed, âLook at Luka! Heâs so handsome! No wonder heâs a top star.
â
Stella paused at the mention of Lukaâs name and turned to Look.
