When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1157

hrough her tears, Miley managed, “I’m just so devastated…”

Stella hastily threw back the covers, ready to rise.

Stirred by the commotion, Matthew grasped her hand.

Silencing him with a gesture, Stella asked, “Miley, where are you right now?”

Miley, amidst sobs, stammered her location and abruptly ended the call.

“Miley…” Stella’s words trailed off into the silence.

Matthew asked, “What’s going on?”

Brushing off his hand, Stella quickly briefed him, “Miley called me just now and kept crying.

I don’t know what happened.

I’m heading there to replace out.

”

Without hesitation, Matthew offered, “I’ll drive you.

”

They dressed swiftly and set off for the address Miley had provided.

Upon arrival, Stella spotted Miley crouched beside the street.

She hurriedly alighted from the car and enveloped Miley in an embrace, draping her coat over her.

“Miley, it’s alright.

You’re safe now.

”

Miley’s crying intensified, her eyes puffy.

When she saw Stella, she cried even louder.

Clutching Stella, she whimpered, “Stella…”

Once Miley had somewhat regained her composure, Stella probed, “What happened? Why are you out here alone at night?”

Miley merely shook her head, wordless.

Sensing the inappropriateness of the location for a detailed conversation, Stella helped Miley to her feet, saying reassuringly, “Come on, I’ll drive you home.

Whatever it is, let’s leave it for now.

A new day awaits tomorrow.

”

Miley, who was listless as if in a daze, let Stella send her into the car.

Once Miley was settled, Stella, gathering her belongings, instructed Matthew, “Let’s take Miley home first.

”

“Okay,” Matthew responded and started the car.

After the emotional outburst, Miley seemed drained, falling into a deeper silence as she settled in the car.

Stella, eager to understand more, hesitated upon seeing Miley’s forlorn expression and held back her questions.

Midway to her house, Miley suddenly raised her head, her voice rough with emotion.

“Did you know Neville’s fallen for someone else recently?”

Matthew frowned and was confused.

But he still shook his head and asked, “Isn’t Neville with you?”

With a bitter twist of her lips, Miley replied with irony, “He’s found another.

He doesn’t need me anymore.

”

Stella and Matthew were struck dumb by this revelation, at a loss for comforting words Miley’s eyes closed, a picture of utter despair, and she fell silent once more.
