Chapter 152
When Love Comes Late
What if something came up and her attention was needed?
She looked around and asked, âWhere is my phone?â
Miley remembered that she threw Stellaâs phone on the dressing table casually after answering a call the night before.
âLet me get it for you,â she said, standing up from the edge of the bed.
Once the phone was handed to her, Stella checked for any new messages.
There was one from Matthew.
It was just one sentence.
âOkay, have a good rest.
â
Realizing that there was no cause for alarm, Stella was finally able to breathe freely.
She put the phone aside and lay down again.
Miley watched her for a few seconds.
When she sensed that Stella was in a better mood, she muttered warily, âActually⦠I went to a cafe to meet Maverick today.

âWihat?â Shocked, Stella sat up again.
âDid you meet him? What happened? Tell me how it went!â
âCalm down.
â Miley made her chill out first before telling her all that happened.
âIâm sorry for getting all up in your business.
But I just couldnât take it anymore.
I had to do something to get revenge for you.
â
After apologizing, Miley moved on to berating Maverick, âI never expected that jerk to make such an outrageous demand.
I was so pissed!â
Hearing that, Stella calmed down.

She gave Mileyâs hand a squeeze and said with a smile, âI donât blame you.
Thanks for trying to help, but Iâm sure not going to pay Maverick for emotional damage.
â
Giving in to that outrageous demand would mean that she was in the wrong, and she wasnât! It was actually the other way round as far as she was concerned.
Just as she was sucking her teeth, her phone buzzed.
It was a message from Maverick.
Stella frowned and clicked on it.
âI can waive the compensation for emotional damage.
â
Stella read it indifferently.
His waiver was going to save her a lot of trouble.
Thank goodness he used his brain for once! Stella was already sick and tired of this discussion.
It was high time she got this divorce over and done with.
That was the only way they could move on with their lives instead of being pathetic.
At the thought of this, Stella typed a response.
