Chapter 908
When Love Comes Late
Amya examined her for a few moments before raising an eyebrow.
âMiley Cullen? I donât recall ever hearing that name.
What family does she come from?â
Miley bit her lip, a trace of embarrassment coloring her expression.
Just as she was about to respond, Neville came to her aid.
He dr@ped an arm around her shoulder and formally introduced her.
âMileyâs mother manages a company overseas.
Her father is a renowned doctor, and Miley herself runs a modeling agency here.
â
Amya observed Nevilleâs hand on Mileyâs shoulder.
Miley, feeling self-conscious under Amyaâs gaze, promptly withdrew from Nevilleâs touch and positioned herself a bit farther away.
Amyaâs demeanor softened slightly as she averted her eyes.
With a gentle smile, she turned to Neville and asserted, âI have something to discuss with you.
Come with me.
â
With that, she turned and departed without acknowledging Miley any further.

Once Miley had settled back into her seat, Neville followed his mother outside the restaurant.
At the restaurantâs entrance, Neville couldnât help but voice his dissatisfaction.
âMom, this isnât like you.
Why were you so impolite to Miley today?â
âAre you blaming me now?â Amyaâs voice carried a stern, unfriendly tone, her brows furrowing.
âNo, Mom, thatâs not what I meant.
Iâm pursuing a relationship with Miley.
By treating her this way, youâre sending her a message that youâre not satisfied with her,â Neville quickly responded in a softer tone.
âIam indeed not satisfied with her.
â Amya remained blunt in her response.
âYou can have any girlfriend you want, and I wonât interfere with your romantic life.
But when it comes to choosing a wife, that decision rests with me.
Miley cannot be my daughter-in-law.
â
âMom!â Nevilleâs voice rose.
âYouâve never really gotten to know Miley.
You donât know the kind of person she is.
Making such a hasty judgment isnât fair.
â
Amya didnât beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
âIâve already selected a suitable marriage partner for you.
Her familyâs status is on par with ours, and they can provide valuable support to us.
As for the woman you know, she comes from an ordinary family.
I cannot accept her.
â
âI will only marry the woman I love.
I wonât agree to your choice of a marriage partner.
â Neville sniffed in mild exasperation at his motherâs stance.
âYour car has arrived.
Iâm going to have dinner first.
