Ch.1236 Chapter 1240 - When Love Comes Late

But before his hand could make contact with Stella, it was abruptly seized by Matthew.

âAhâ¦â A sharp cry of pain escaped Felipeâs Lips.

Stellaâs gaze on Felipe was one of cool detachment as she reached for her phone.

âIâm calling the police.

âNo, Stella!â Besty shook her head.

âPlease donât call the police.

Stellaâs expression hardened as she took in the visible marks on Bestyâs face, her voice rising in anger.

âLook at what heâs done to you! Why are you protecting him? Donât worry, Iâve got your back.

âI appreciate it, but itâs okay.

â Besty, managing a weak smile through her tears, tried to reassure Stella.

âIf he lays a hand on me again, Iâll be the one to call the police.

Stella seemed ready to argue further, but Matthew gently intervened, signaling her it was time to leave.

After a momentâs contemplation, Stella gave up.

âIf you need anything, just call me, okay?â

Besty gave a grateful nod in response.

Stella then turned to Felipe.

âIf you ever harm Besty again, youâll regret it.

While leaving Bestyâs place, Stella couldnât help but look back at her friend with worry and reluctance.

Despite Bestyâs reassuring smile and wave, Stellaâs heart remained heavy with unease.

âBesty has made her choice to handle this alone.

We should respect that.

â Matthew gently squeezed Stellaâs hand to reassure her.

âBut Iâll arrange for some bodyguards to watch over her discreetly.

Sheâll be fine.

Stella nodded and said nothing.

She couldnât help but wonder how a loving relationship between Besty and Felipe had deteriorated to such a troubling state.

Meanwhile, at the amusement park, Miley and Roy were in line for the Ferris wheel.

After their recent argument, the couple had not talked to each other for the past few days.

Miley had agreed to this outing with Roy, though she still had some reservations.

However, as the day progressed and Roy showed genuine effort and enthusiasm, Mileyâs discomfort slowly faded.

After a few minutes, Miley and Roy finally got on the Ferris wheel.

Mileyâs spirits lifted as she took in the breathtaking view of Seamarsh.

âNeville, look!â Miley exclaimed, pointing excitedly at a flock of white birds flying by.

The moment Miley inadvertently uttered Nevilleâs name, a palpable chill seemed to permeate the air.

Regret washed over her, yet the words, once spoken, were irretrievable.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, she turned to face Roy.

His usual smile had vanished, replaced by a simmering anger.

âRoy, Iâm sorry, Iâ¦â Miley began, her voice faltering as she swallowed nervously.

âIt was a mistake.

I meant to say your name, not his.

Her attempt at an explanation did little to soothe Royâs burgeoning irritation.
