When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1150

As the evening neared its end, Susie raised her glass to Neville.

“We share some similarities in character.

Even if we can’t be a couple, being friends isn’t that bad.

”

Neville smiled.

“Sure, I’ll bring my girlfriend to see you next time.

”

At ten o’clock, the two left the restaurant.

Considering Susie had a bit to drink, Neville inquired, “Did you drive here?

Need me to call you a driver?”

Susie shook her head.

“I took a taxi here.

I can call another one.

”

She reached for her phone.

After a brief pause, Neville stopped her.

“Never mind.

I’ll give you a ride back.

”

He felt a sense of indebtedness to Susie.

The Blakely family’s residence was in the suburbs, and it was getting late.

He’d feel more guilty if anything happened to her.

It was his way of repaying the favor.

Susie agreed happily, and they got into the car.

Feeling a bit drowsy, Susie leaned against the seat.

Neville glanced at the rearview mirror.

Suddenly, he noticed a car tailing them closely.

Neville’s frown deepened.

He initially dismissed his concern as overthinking.

Yet, when he pressed the accelerator and the car behind them mimicked their speed, his unease heightened.

Glancing at Susie, he delivered a serious warning.

“Wake up.

Sit tight.

I’m going to speed up.

”

Startled, Susie jolted awake, sitting upright.

Nervously, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Neville glanced at the rearview mirror and explained, “There’s a car following us.

You’re an actress.

I’m assuming they are reporters.

We need to lose them.

”

He clarified the situation with Susie.

The last thing he wanted was to get hounded by reporters.

Taking in his words, Susie glanced at the car trailing them, then back at Neville, smiling in relief.

“It’s okay.

”

Neville’s frown persisted as he asked, “Why?”
