Chapter 142
When Love Comes Late
He recalled that Matthew had said that she was married though.
Taking another sip of his drink, Matthew said vaguely, âI hope it all turns out all right.
â
It was midnight.
Stellaâs situation had gotten worse.
Miley called Oliver to inform him, after she had noticed the increase in Stellaâs fever and torpor.
He arrived after a while.
His heart broke once he saw the state Stella was in.
Feeling sad and guilty, Miley said, âShe woke up a while ago, so I gave her some antipyretics.
â
Oliver knew Stella had been so busy the past few days, but couldnât do anything to relieve her of her stress.
âIâm going to take her to the hospital if it doesnât work,â he said, looking at the antipyretics.
Stellaâs phone suddenly began to vibrate.
There wasnât any caller ID.
Miley didnât want to disturb Stellaâs sleep, but at the same time, she was worried that the call could be important.
She picked the phone and quietly went outside.
She asked politely, âHello, good evening.
May I ask whoâs speaking?â
âThis is Maverick Clarkâs lawyer.
â His tone was very bad.
Miley couldnât believe it.
A frown made way to her face.

Maverick asked his lawyer to call Stella at this time of night?
The man didnât even wait for her to speak.
âThis is the last time Iâm going to say this.
The divorce agreement has to be signed in three days.
â
Mileyâs face darkened in anger.
How could Maverick give Stella an ultimatum?
Miley had a bad temper naturally, and now she was extra angry.
Thinking about the fact that Stella had so much work to do every day and still had to deal with Maverickâs shit made Miley so upset.
âALL right.
What time and place?â she blurted out without thinking.
âTomorrow morning, nine oâclock.
Seamarsh Cafe.
â
âTell Maverick that he better not run away again!â Miley yelled into the phone.
