Chapter 1619
When Love Comes Late
It was a crisis at that time, and given the events that followed their escape, Bertha was concerned about potential issues with the recorder.
When Neville activated the recorder pen, Wyattâs voice came through clearly.
Miley felt a wave of relief and declared, âThatâs wonderful.
Itâs finally time to end this.
â
Breathing easier, Bertha signaled to Miley.
âMiley, come over here.
â
Miley was tense.
She wondered why Bertha was calling her over now.
Had the older lady changed her mind? Or did she object to her being with Neville?
With uncertainty, Miley silently approached Bertha and met her gaze.
Taking her hand, Bertha offered a warm smile.
âDonât worry.
I just wanted to thank you.
â
âThank me?â Surprised, Miley looked towards Neville instinctively.
Bertha patted her hand and said gently, âIf it werenât for you, Iâm afraid I couldnât escape this situation.
I owe you my thanks.
Donât worry.
Iâll keep my promise.
Iâll talk to Nevilleâs parents and support your relationship.
â
Miley felt a lump in her throat and replied, âThank you, Mrs.
Pierce.
â
Bertha sighed slightly and continued, âWhen the Pierce Group was in trouble, I was so worried about losing the family business that I thought a marriage of convenience could stabilize things.
But, I overlooked my grandsonâs feelings.
Iâm sorry.

Miley shook her head and said, âDonât worry about it.
I understand you did everything for Nevilleâs sake.
â
Looking at Miley with admiration, Bertha said, âLuckily, thereâs still a chance to make things right.
With you by Nevilleâs side, I think I can rest easy.
â
Hearing this, Neville quickly assured her, âGrandma, you donât need to worry.
Iâll take good care of Miley, and Iâll learn to manage the company so that the Pierce Group can thrive.
â
Bertha smiled contentedly and said, âThatâs wonderful to hear.
â
After a bit more conversation, Bertha grew tired and lay down to rest.
Later that evening, Stella received a call from Miley.
Miley relayed Berthaâs approval to Stella in excitement.
âI was terrified at first.
I thought she might change her mind when she woke up.
But it turns out, sheâs quite reasonable.
â
Hearing Mileyâs cheerful voice, Stella finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had seen firsthand the struggles between Neville and Miley, and now it seemed they had made it through.
She genuinely felt joyful for Miley and said, âNow you can have a peaceful life with Neville.
â
âYes,â Miley replied with a smile.
âI used to worry Iâd never get the Pierce familyâs approval.
This outcome is a wonderful surprise.
â
Miley and Stella talked for a while longer before ending the call.
