Chapter 1565

Stella looked at him incredulously.

Despite understanding her expression, Matthew persisted, “Since you don’t believe me, let’s try something.

”

Stella clenched her lips, choosing to hold her tongue.

She realized that without Matthew letting go of his suspicions, the matter would never end.

She held on to the hope that Matthew would ease up on his doubts regarding Haley.

After hesitating for a while, Stella nodded and said, “You can try it if you want, but I still hope you’ll stop overthinking.

”

Matthew narrowed his eyes, maintaining his calm demeanor.

“We must proceed with caution.

”

Neville followed Miley as she led the way into her room, where they snuggled up on the sofa.

Nestled in his embrace, memories flooded Miley’s mind, recalling the sheer terror of her kidnapping.

“I was so scared.

Wyatt said we were on a deserted island, and I was terrified of the wild animals that might roam at night.

I thought I’d never see you again.

”

Her voice quivered with emotion as she continued, “I managed to escape and find a boat, but I didn’t know how to row at all…” Her words caught in her throat, and the more she spoke, the deeper her distress became.

She buried her face in Neville’s chest, trembling with tears.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you sooner.

You must have been terrified,” Neville murmured, holding her close as she cried in his arms.

He understood the importance of allowing Miley to fully express her emotions.

Gently stroking her back, he continued, “But it’s all over now.

I’ve secured a significant order for Pierce Group.

Once Grandma wakes up, my parents will know the truth, and they’ll accept us.

We will finally have our happy ending.

”

Miley felt relief wash over her as Neville’s words sank in, findi

ng comfort in his presence.

They held each other tightly for a while until Miley’s stomach grumbled.

Blushing slightly, she pushed Neville away.

With a warm smile, he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, “I’ll whip up something special.

I’ve got some beef.

It’s time for you to taste my cooking.

”

He planted a tender ki*s on Miley’s cheek and instructed, “Just wait here for a moment.

”

With that, Neville rose from the sofa and retrieved the beef before disappearing into the kitchen.

The sound of running water from the kitchen gave Miley a sense of warmth.

Noticing the suitcase left on the floor, Miley decided to lend Neville a hand.

She began removing the clothes one by one until she stumbled upon a black bag nestled within.

Intrigued, Miley picked it up and unzipped it, revealing a camera inside.

“A camera? Did he bring this along on his business trip?” Miley muttered.

She settled back onto the sofa and powered on the camera.
