When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1220

Neville stood up and approached Matthew.

“Actually, I came to tell you something important.

I’m getting married, just like you.

”

Matthew’s brow furrowed as he scrutinized Neville, uncertain whether to take him seriously.

“You’re getting married?”

“Yes, to Susie.

” Neville nodded.

Despite his relaxed posture, crossed legs, and nonchalant demeanor, Neville’s tone carried a weight of seriousness.

“Are you sure about this? Have you thought it through?” Matthew asked, confused by Neville’s apparent dispassion.

“Yes.

Susie and I share a similar background, so she’s a suitable match.

” Neville’s voice was Light, devoid of the joy one might expect at such news.

“As for Miley, perhaps we weren’t meant to be together.

”

If it weren’t for his health concerns, Neville might have fought for Miley no matter how much his mother was against it.

But there was no room for ifs and buts in his life.

It seemed like he was destined to have a future without Miley.

Neville remained seated, his expression betraying no regret or sorrow.

“Okay.

As long as you’re sure about your decision,” Matthew responded with equal indifference.

“There’s one more reason for my visit today,” Neville continued.

“I wanted to invite you to my engagement party.

It’ll be an opportunity to formally introduce you to Susie.

I expect our paths to cross frequently in the future.

”

Matthew gave a slight nod, acknowledging the invitation.

“I’ll be there, but Stella probably won’t make it.

“I understand,” Neville replied, his tone understanding.

He then glanced at his watch and rose from his seat.

“I should get going.

I have another appointment.

I won’t keep you any longer.

”

“It’s almost lunchtime.

Why don’t you stay and join me?” Matthew asked.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Neville’s eyes before he replied vaguely, “I have

a doctor’s appointment for a check-up.

Maybe some other time.

”

“Alright,” Matthew said, not pressing the matter further.

Upon returning home in the evening, Matthew was surprised to replace his grandmother, Lucia, in the living room.

“Grandma, why are you here at this hour?” he asked with a hint of concern.

Once he came closer, his attention was drawn to several items on the table.

“What’s all this?”

“You and Stella are getting married soon, and I know you’re both swamped with work.

So, I thought I’d help by getting started on the wedding invitations,” Lucia said with a gentle smile.

“You don’t have to do all this, Grandma.

” While appreciative, Matthew was also mindful of his grandmother’s well-being.

“I can have someone take care of these tasks.

Please don’t worry about anything.

”

“Marriage is no small matter, Matthew.

” Lucia glared, clearly displeased with Matthew’s suggestion.

“It’s important to oversee these details personally.

You can’t just delegate everything to others.

”
