Chapter 1445
When Love Comes Late
Her smile was gentle, reassuring.
âEven if things donât change, my feelings for you wonât.
I love you, just as you are.
â
Nevilleâs reply was tinged with a mix of assertiveness and vulnerability.
âYou shouldnât say that.
Iâll resolve this.
Please, donât let any man close to you.
â
âYouâre quite possessive,â Miley teased, feeling the need to Lighten the mood.
âIâm going to take a shower now.
â
She pushed away Neville and went to the bathroom.
Neville was quick to follow, his embrace enveloping her once more, his voice low and earnest.
âMiley, my love for you is unwavering.
In my life, itâs only you.
â
She could hear the unease in his voice, feel the weight of his words.
She wrapped her arms around him, her voice soft and comforting.
âI know.
Iâve made up my mind too.
Iâm with you, no matter what lies ahead.

The next day, Matthew was engrossed in his work when a knock on the door interrupted him.
Fernando stepped in.
âMr.
Clark.
â
âWhat is it?â Matthew asked, setting down his pen.
âWeâve figured out Haleyâs identity.
â
Matthewâs expression hardened slightly as he responded, âLet me see.

Fernando swiftly handed over the file.
Matthew opened the file, his eyes drawn to the photo inside.
The woman staring back was completely unrecognizable from the Haley heâd encountered-almost like a different person entirely.
He furrowed his brow as he flipped through the document.
It was disappointingly brief, offering scant information about Haley.
With a slightly stern look, he asked, âIs this everything?â
Fernando nodded.
âYes, but weâre confident the Haley you met isnât who she claims to be.
â
A shift flickered across Matthewâs face.
âWhat now, Mr.
Clark? Should we tell Mrs.
Clark?â Fernando inquired.
âThe paternity test results will be out today as well.
â
Matthewâs already cool demeanor seemed to reach an even lower temperature.
He placed the file down, stood, and grabbed his coat from the nearby rack.
As he walked out, he instructed Fernando, âDonât breathe a word to Stella yet.
Iâm heading out.
â
He took the elevator to the parking garage and drove to Haleyâs hotel.
During the drive, he arranged to meet Haley at the executive bar on the eighth floor.
