Chapter 572
When Love Comes Late
Stella couldnât bring herself to think any further.
She returned home, emotionally unsettled.
Miley was cooking in the kitchen and, upon seeing Stella, asked for her help.
âStella, fetch me a plate, please.
â
Miley couldnât leave the stovetop as the oil sizzled.
Stella was mentally adrift.
Refocusing on the dish she was preparing, Miley shouted, âStella, quickly, hand me a plate!â
Stella snapped back to reality and reached for a plate.
But her lack of focus caused it to slip from her grasp and shatter on the floor.
The breaking sound refocused Stellaâs wandering mind.
Hurriedly, she crouched to collect the shards, accidentally cutting her finger in the process.
Blood began to slowly seep out.
Ignoring her cooking for a moment, Miley rushed over.
âYouâre hurt again? Come to the living room.
Iâll take care of that cut.
â
âItâs not a big deal.
Just cover it with a bandage,â Stella replied apologetically.
âIâll take care of this mess.
â
Miley gently urged her to sit on the sofa and reassured, âYou stay right here.
Iâll handle the cleanup.
Iâll give you a call when dinnerâs ready.
â
Miley grabbed a Band-Aid from the first-aid kit and handed it to Stella.
Gratefully, Stella said, âThank you, Miley.
â
âItâs no big deal.
Iâve made a special dinner to celebrate your hospital discharge.
Just take care of that cut first,â Miley said before darting back to the kitchen.
They ate dinner in silence.

Breaking the quiet, Stella disclosed, âI went to Matthewâs villa earlier and discovered something intriguing.
â
âWhat is it?â Miley replied nonchalantly.
Stella informed her, âThe jewelry, a gift intended for Matthewâs wife, wasnât delivered.
He had it with him the day he saved me.
Iâm afraid my accident may have disrupted his plans with his wife so they fought.
â
Setting her utensils down, Miley propped her chin on her hand and scrutinized Stella silently.
After a long look, she finally laughed.
