When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1215

Just before departing, he maintained the same facade of gentleness he had shown earlier and remarked, “Very well, I’ll take my leave for now.

Tomorrow, when I’m sober and you’re in better spirits, I’ll return.

Goodnight.

”

Miley offered no response and simply locked eyes with him until the door was securely shut.

Only then did she let her guard down, collapsing wearily onto the sofa and staring blankly at the ceiling.

She had believed that embarking on a new relationship would quickly erase Neville from her mind.

But when she spotted him and Susie together that night, heart couldn’t help feeling hurt.

She could deceive everyone else, but she couldn’t deceive herself.

She wasn’t one to waver easily.

So why had everything changed because of Neville?

Miley’s phone suddenly rang, shattering the silence.

She picked it up, revealing a headline news notification.

“Neville Pierce and Susie Blakely Are Going to Tie the Knot!!”

After reading the headline, Miley flung her phone to the floor, her face growing cold.

The device shattered into pieces, mirroring the fragments of her emotions.

In the restaurant, Neville was so intoxicated that he found himself in a daze, sprawled lazily across the table.

“Neville…” Susie approached him, nudging him, but he remained unresponsive.

Left with no other choice, she signaled the waiter, saying, “Keep an eye on him and let me know when he wakes up.

”

“No problem.

” The waiter gave her a quick nod.

Susie searched her purse, only to discover she had forgotten her cigarettes.

Frowning, she seized Neville’s cigarette case and lighter on the table and headed towards the exit.

Lighting one swiftly, she tried to soothe herself.

She was taking men’s cigarettes, and the potent scent caused her to cough a few times, the pungent smell flooding her lungs.

The shrill blare of the phone pierced the air, interrupting her.

Holding a cigarette in one hand, Susie glanced at the numbers and answered.

“Miss Blakely, everything’s sorted.

All the marketing promotions are completed.

”

“Well done,” she said with a satisfied face.

A brief stillness filled the air as she ended the call and tucked her phone away.

Feeling a bit confined, she took a puff from her cigarette and glanced at the distant traffic.

In the past few days spent with Neville, she had noticed the dark cloud that hung over his head.

His smiles were quick and easy, but they were rarely genuine.
