When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1213

Shortly after Stella and Miley exited the restaurant, a car pulled up beside them, its window rolling down to reveal Matthew.

Stella was delighted by the unexpected encounter and approached him, asking, “Why are you here?”

“I happened to be conducting some business nearby.

It’s about time.

I wanted to check if you’ve finished and offer you a ride home,”

Matthew explained.

Stella nodded.

“We just finished eating and were planning to take a taxi back.

”

Miley joined them, and upon spotting Matthew, she greeted him.

“Matthew, could you possibly give us a lift? Neither Roy nor I drove here.

”

Matthew glanced at the man accompanying Miley, taking a moment to respond, “Get in the car.

”

“Thank you,” Miley expressed her gratitude politely as she and Roy settled into the back seat.

Stella glanced at the rearview mirror, curiosity getting the best of her.

She finally posed the question that had been lingering in her mind.

“Miley, you never told me how you met Roy.

”

Matthew remained focused on the road, but his attention was also drawn to Miley.

Before Miley could reply, Roy chimed in, “I fell in love with Miley at first sight on the plane, so I mustered the courage to ask for her phone number after our flight.

I called her, hoping to go on a date, and to my surprise, she agreed.

”

He gazed affectionately at Miley, continuing, “We spent a few days in Matera, getting to know each other, and we both felt a strong connection.

So, I proposed that we start dating.

”

As he spoke, Roy took Miley’s hand.

She instinctively tried to pull back, but he held her hand more firmly.

Observing Roy’s warm smile, Miley stopped resisting and allowed him to hold her hand.

She smiled.

“I found Roy to be an outgoing and sincere young man.

I felt a genuine connection, so I wanted to give our relationship a chance.

Stella furrowed her brow, but upon seeing the happiness on Miley’s face, she replied, “I hope you have a wonderful time together with Roy.

”

Miley responded with a smile.

Focused on the road, Matthew remained silent, offering no comment.

A brief silence settled in the car, until Miley’s thoughts brought up a new topic.

She turned to Stella and asked, “By the way, have you been in touch with Flossie recently? She’s been absent from work for quite some time now.

”

Stella appeared puzzled as well, replying, “I reached out to her a few days ago.

She mentioned she was abroad for a major event, didn’t she?”

Miley shook her head and said, “No.

I granted Flossie a ten-day leave, but that time has elapsed, and she still hasn’t returned.

That’s why I wanted to ask you about it.
