Chapter 984
When Love Comes Late
âMiley, please let me explainâ¦â
âI donât want to hear it,â Miley snapped back, anger flaring within her.
The memory of Nevilleâs motherâs disdainful attitude and the check she had thrust at her flashed in her mind.
She had never felt so belittled, even when she was establishing her own business.
Nevilleâs grip tightened, his resolve clear.
âLet me go, Neville.
Iâve accepted your motherâs check.
Iâll keep my distance from you and your family.
â Miley struggled to free herself.
âItâs all my fault.
Iâm truly sorry for the hurt youâve endured,â
Neville said with sincerity.
âTrust me, Miley.
My love for you is real.
I know my past as a playboy, but youâve changed me.
I want to be a better man for you.
â
Mileyâs face softened slightly, yet she remained upset about his motherâs actions.
âWhat your mother did today, I canât just let go.
â
Neville nodded, his face full of sincerity, and promised, âIâll take care of it.
You wonât have to face such issues again.

Not far away, Matthew and Stella found themselves at the restaurant he had chosen, right nearby.
After dinner, they strolled around the area.
Stellaâs thoughts were with Miley, pondering over her situation with Neville.

She wished she could offer advice, but her experience was different.
After she married Matthew, the Clark family had been nothing but kind to her.
Mileyâs circumstances were a stark contrast, and Stella felt at a loss.
âMatthew.
â Stella voiced her concern.
âDo you think Neville is a good match for Miley?â
Matthew gripped her hand firmly, responding thoughtfully, âFrom what Iâve seen, heâs never been this serious about a girl.
He must be in love.
â
But Stellaâs worry only deepened.
She let out a sigh.
âI just hope he treats Miley right and manages to solve these problems.
â
Matthew simply smiled and remained silent.
They continued their walk before heading home.
