Chapter 1208
When Love Comes Late
She parted her lips, ready to ask about Miley, but Neville spoke first.
âLast night, at the party, I hoped to formally introduce my fiancee to both you and Matthew, but the rush of the evening prevented it.
Sheâs actually here today.
Iâd like you to meet her.
â
âFiancee?â Stellaâs expression turned slightly sour.
âYouâre engaged now?â
Neville nodded, a calm assurance in his voice.
âYes.
I love her, and engagement seemed like the next right step.
â
âYouâre really going to be withâ¦â
Just as Stella was about to mention Miley, Mileyâs lively voice rang out from behind.
âStella, why are you loitering at the entrance? Waiting to roll out the red carpet for me?â
Stella pivoted to find Miley, a friend she hadnât seen for a while.
Her moment of elation was quickly overshadowed by the unfamiliar man beside Miley.
Dressed in a simple tee and jeans, the manâs strikingly handsome features were undeniable.
He exuded a radiant, handsome aura that was hard to overlook.
With a furrowed brow, Stella inquired, âWhoâs this gentleman?â
Miley, seemingly unbothered by Nevilleâs watchful gaze, sauntered over to Neville and casually slung an arm around her new companion.
âMeet Roy, my boyfriend.
Heâs a pilot.
â
Roy extended a warm smile towards Stella, greeting her politely, âPleased to meet you.
â
Stunned, Stella struggled to find her words.
Finally, she managed to say, âWell, nice to meet you too.
â
After greeting, Stella hastily approached Miley, her voice a whisper.

âWhatâs going on? Werenât you on a trip? And you found a new boyfriend so quickly?â
It wasnât that Stella disapproved of Miley meeting someone new.
Her concern stemmed from Mileyâs rapid shift in attitude, which raised alarms for Stella.
She feared Mileyâs hasty move to a new relationship was a mere rebound fueled by her spat with Neville.
Miley retorted, louder than necessary, âQuick? Someone moved on quicker than me.
Finding a new girlfriend right after a breakup.
â
With that, Miley grabbed Stellaâs hand and, with her other arm linked to Royâs, declared, âLetâs head inside.
Iâve missed Seamarshâs culinary delights.
â
Stella, brimming with questions, chose to refrain from asking them in Nevilleâs presence.
She let Miley guide her inside.
