Chapter 2118
When Love Comes Late
Stella offered a reassuring smile.
âIâve been eating regularly, donât worry.
â
Miley clasped Stellaâs hand, examining her more intently.
âHow have you been, really? Are you fully recovered?â
Stella remarked, âIâve been taking it easy for a while now.
Iâm totally fine, so donât worry about me.
â
Miley, visibly relieved, responded, âHow do you always end up so unlucky? Most people never go through such hardships, yet you seem to find it at every turn.
Iâm just glad youâre okay now.
I was so worried when I first heard about it.
Neville didnât even mention it until you were already recovering.
â
Stella appreciated Mileyâs concern and shook her head.
âItâs in the past now.
Letâs not dwell on it anymore.
It wonât happen again.
â
Miley nodded and added, âBut you know, good things often follow the bad.
Despite everything, there were some positives, right?â
She grinned mischievously.
âThrough all this, you discovered your family.
Thatâs something to celebrate, isnât it?â
Stella smiled, acknowledging the point.
âIt truly is something to celebrate.
â
Clutching Stellaâs arm, Miley teased, âIâm holding onto a real treasure here-the daughter of the renowned designer Bella, the wife of the CEO of Prosperity Group, and a member of the Lowell family.
With connections like these, no one would dare trouble you now.
Looks like I need to keep a firmer grip!â
Stella chuckled and replied, âStop it.
No matter my connections, Iâm here as your best friend.

As they walked on, Mileyâs grip was warm and firm.
âThatâs right, best friends forever.
â
Stellaâs spirits lifted further, buoyed by Mileyâs infectious enthusiasm.
Miley beamed.
âIâve arranged everything for today.
â
Curious, Stella noticed a sparkle in Mileyâs eyes and asked, âWhat mischief are you planning now?â
With a conspiratorial wink, Miley whispered, âThis place is famous for its hot springs, and Iâve asked the staff to set aside some rather daring swimsuits for us.
With your stunning figure, youâll definitely turn headsâespecially Matthewâs.
â
Stella blushed and shyly lowered her head, murmuring, âStop teasing me!â
Miley glanced at Matthew, who was close by, and then leaned in and whispered with a smile into Stellaâs ear, âIâm not teasing you, itâs true.
Youâre going to have a great time tonightâ¦â
Before Miley could finish, Stella gently tapped her and cut her off, saying, âStop.
â
Miley laughed and grabbed Stellaâs arm.
She teased, âTell me, how many rounds did you have in a night at most?â
Stella couldnât stop herself from imagining scenarios that made her cheeks flush even deeper.
Just as Stella was about to correct Miley on how to phrase things properly, she suddenly spotted a familiar face and stopped mid-sentence.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Following Stellaâs gaze, Miley noticed two men standing nearby; one of whom was mature, elegant, and handsome.
The man caught Stellaâs eye and even nodded at her with a smile.
