Ch.1702 Chapter 1707 - When Love Comes Late

Stella, cautious about not overdoing it before the big day, barely touched her drink.

Miley, on the other hand, downed several glasses one after the other.

Soon, she was slurring her words.

Stella tried to convince her to slow down on the drinks, but Miley just hugged her tightly and nuzzled her face against Stellaâs.

Clutching Stella around the waist and resting her head on her shoulder, Miley slurred affectionately, âStella, itâs wonderful.

I canât wait to see you get married.

Though slightly drunk, her eyes shimmered with genuine emotion.

âWhen you first married Matthew, it was all so rushed.

Itâs just a marriage certificate, and thatâs it.

I was worried youâd rushed into things without a moment to be happy.

But look at you now, about to build a beautiful Life with a great guy.

As she spoke, Miley let out a snort and declared, âHe better treat you right.

If he ever mistreats you, I swear Iâll make him regret itâ¦â

Miley was quite talkative.

Stella felt both amused and touched by her friendâs words.

She fought back tears and said, âMiley, youâre drunk.

âNo, Iâm just really happy!â Miley denied being drunk.

She slung her arm around Stellaâs shoulders and continued, âWeâve been friends for so long.

I couldnât be happier seeing you happy.

You have to be happy, okay?â

She clearly looked drunk, her expression a mix of confusion and charm.

Hearing the sincerity in her words, Stella grasped her hand and replied, âThank you, Miley.

It means so much to have you in my life.

Miley tilted her chin up with pride.

âOf course.

Weâre best friends after all!â

Stella nodded vigorously.

âAbsolutely, Iâll do everything I can to be happy.

And you and Neville need to be happy too.

Miley nodded back, her enthusiasm growing as she raised her glass.

âWeâre all going to be happy.

Miley got too much to drink and fell asleep.

Matthew, knowing the girls were having a party at the hotel, arranged a suite upstairs.

Once Stella and Juliette settled Miley into bed, they headed to the living room.

Stella got Juliette some water and sat beside her.

Mileyâs drunken muttering echoed now and then.

Stella giggled.

Juliette smiled too, taking a sip of water.

âAre you feeling nervous?â she asked.

Stella nodded and said, âA little.

Even though everything is ready, and Iâve been married to Matthew for almost two years, this is our first wedding.

It feels different.

She fidgeted with her fingers, realizing tomorrow was the big day.

Time seemed to be flying, and she was a bit scared too.
