Ch.718 Chapter 720 - When Love Comes Late

Rushing inside, Stella went straight to Miley.

âAre you all right?

Did Healy hurt you? Should we call the police?

Miley shook her head.

âIâm fine, thanks to the timely intervention of Mr.

Clark and Mr.

Pierce.

At this, Stella finally noticed Matthew and Neville standing off to the side.

Matthew held a cardboard box, presumably containing her personal items.

Recalling his earlier phone conversation, Stella said, âI appreciate your help with Miley.

Just set my things down, please.

Stellaâs words made Matthew grip the cardboard box even tighter, a gesture that didnât go unnoticed by Miley.

So Matthew and Stella were still not getting along.

Miley bit her lip, contemplating briefly.

âItâs getting late.

Allow me to treat you both to lunch as a token of my gratitude.

After making her offer, she shot a knowing wink at Neville.

Catching her cue, Neville chimed in, âGreat, letâs go to Luking Restaurant.

Mileyâs smile faltered.

Luking Restaurant was a renowned Michelin three-star establishment in Seamarsh.

She had wanted to alleviate the tension, not to empty her wallet.

With a roll of her eyes and a clenched jaw, she retorted, âYou certainly have expensive taste.

Neville arched an eyebrow, replying, âNaturally.

I did save you a million with just a few words, after all.

Caught off guard, Miley was momentarily speechless.

Neville had a point.

Struggling for a response, she could only mutter through gritted teeth.

âThank you.

Neville grinned.

Teasing her had its own rewards, it seemed.

Their light banter helped to defuse the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Stella interjected, âWell, considering Mr.

Pierceâs huge assistance, itâs only fitting that we treat him to a lavish meal.
