Chapter 658
When Love Comes Late
She clumsily picked up her glass, emptying it repeatedly.
Miley, unable to endure Stellaâs torment any Longer swiftly snatched the glass away.
âThatâs enough.
Youâre too drunk.
â
It pained her to see Stella agonize over a man.
âGive it backâ¦â Stella frowned, visibly irritated, as she tried to reclaim her glass.
Growing stern, Miley advised, âIf you canât love him, you should give up.
There are countless wonderful men in the world.
Donât drown your sorrows over just one.
â
She regretted initiating this drinking escapade.
She should have known better.
Ignoring Mileyâs caution, Stella took her glass and sipped once more.
Finally lifting her tear-filled eyes to meet Mileyâs, she uttered, âMiley, I want to give up too.
I wish I didnât have these feelings for Matthewâ¦â
âWhat? Matthew?â Miley was so stunned she could barely articulate her thoughts.
âYouâre in love with Matthew?â
Confronted with Mileyâs astonished gaze, the dam holding back Stellaâs swirling emotions finally broke.

Struggling against the lump in her throat, she ultimately lost her battle with her feelings and broke down in tears.
âI know itâs not right.
Matthew and I each have our own families.
I canât betray my husband, nor can I ruin Matthewâs family.
I refuse to be the other woman, a third party in another personâs marriage,â
Stella admitted, guilt consuming her.
âBut I canât help myself.
Iâm falling deeper for Matthew,â she continued, her voice cracking.
âThe more he supports me, the more irresistible he becomes.
Thatâs why I have to quit my job.
As long as Iâm away from him, with time, Iâll forget my feelings for him.
â
Frozen in place, Miley struggled to process the revelation.
She had often joked about Stellaâs fondness for Matthew, but she had never imagined it would manifest so candidly.
Miley found herself in a quandary, uncertain of how to navigate the situation.
However, as she observed Stella sobbing her heart out, she felt an overpowering wave of compassion.
Taking a handful of tissues, she tenderly wiped Stellaâs tears away.
âYouâre not in the wrong here.
If you must quit your job to find peace, then do it.
Donât worry.
Iâve got your back.
â
Miley embraced Stella tightly, aiming to provide at least some semblance of comfort.
