When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1165

Sensing unease in her tone, Matthew became alert, holding her face and gazing into her eyes.

“I won’t betray you,” he began slowly, wanting to ease her troubled mind.

“Don’t let their situation make you doubt us.

We’re bound for life.

There might be challenges, but divorce is not an option.

Understand?”

Matthew’s unexpected words caught Stella off guard.

It took a moment for her to grasp his promise, and she was deeply moved.

“Okay,” She said, lifting her head to ki*s the corner of his mouth.

Returning the promise, she declared, “I won’t betray you.

In the hospital, Neville repeatedly tried calling Miley, but his calls wouldn’t go through.

Frustrated, he switched to texting her, but it was the same.

His messages wouldn’t be sent either.

It dawned on him then.

Miley had blocked him.

Annoyed, he raked his fingers through his hair, about to set his phone aside when a notification caught his eye.

She’d be even less inclined to believe any explanations from him.

He was just about to call his assistant to get the article removed when the door to his hospital room burst open.

Looking up, his irritation grew at the sight of the newcomers.

“Why are you here?” he asked, not hiding his annoyance.

Amya hurried over, her concern evident.

“What did the doctor say? Is it something serious?”

Hurley Pierce, Neville’s father, trailed behind her, his expression serious and tinged with worry.

However, his reserved nature kept him silent as usual.

Neville put his phone away and said, “I’m okay.

You don’t need to stay.

”

He was clearly upset, not in the mood to deal with anyone.

Amya, however, seemed in high spirits, unfazed by his aloof attitude.

She pulled up a chair and sat down.

“I heard you got hurt saving Susie.

She’s really into you, so…”
