Chapter 1209
When Love Comes Late
His gaze lingered on the trio, noticing how Miley chatted animatedly with Roy, a joy in her demeanor that once was reserved for him alone.
He clenched his hands, a strong sense of jealousy and anger surged in his heart.
Rationality was the only thing restraining him from confronting Roy.
Suddenly, Susie grasped Nevilleâs arm with an apologetic smile.
âNeville, sorry to keep you waiting.
What were you looking at just now?â
Prior to her arrival, Susie had noticed Nevilleâs distant demeanor.
As Neville tried to shield her view, Susie had already caught sight of Miley.
In a feigned casual tone, Susie remarked, âAh, observing your ex-girlfriend, I see.
â
Feeling a tinge of embarrassment, Neville firmly took Susieâs hand and suggested, âLetâs dine somewhere else.
Our group has several excellent restaurants.
â
âWhy change plans? Werenât we excited about revisiting the place where we first met?â Susie was unwilling to leave.
âAre you trying to avoid your ex so desperately?â
Her tone lightened, half-joking, half-serious.
Disliking the turn of events, Neville clarified, âYou know, itâs not like that at all.
â
âThen, letâs go say hello.
â Before Neville could react, Susie was already striding towards Mileyâs table.
Seeing that he couldnât stop her, Neville hurried after her.
He was anxious to prevent any unpleasant encounter.

Approaching Miley, Susie greeted in a neutral tone, âHello, Miss Cullen, Iâm Susie Blakely.
Itâs been a while.
What brings you here tonight?â
Miley offered a brief glance and remained silent.
Susie, not missing a beat, playfully clung to Nevilleâs arm.
âHoney, since Miss Cullen is an old friend, why not treat her to dinner?â
Neville was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
Miley declined with a slight smile.
âNo need, my boyfriend will cover itâ
Adopting a distant yet polite demeanor, Stella interjected, âMiss Blakely, is there something else? If not, please, weâd prefer not to be disturbed.
â
Susieâs expression changed in an instant.
âStella, enjoy your meal.
â Neville hurried to take Susie away.
