When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1253

Matthew’s brow creased.

“I received an invitation this morning.

.

He pursed his lips, handing the invitation to Stella.

“Take a Look.

”

As Stella unfolded the invitation, she discovered it was for Neville and Susie’s engagement.

Contemplating Miley’s situation, her expression changed.

“They’re getting engaged so soon? Can’t I skip this?” She pouted, expressing her discontent.

Matthew understood her concerns.

He embraced her and said, “I know you don’t want to go.

After all, you’re Miley’s best friend.

She endured a lot because of Neville.

His words weighed on Stella’s heart.

“Has everyone already learned about Neville’s engagement?”

Matthew nodded affirmatively.

Stella promptly stood up and declared, “I’ll need to see Miley.

”

Miley had been holed up at home for three days.

Stella had reached out, hoping to hang out, but Miley fibbed about being swamped with work.

The truth was, her thoughts were in disarray.

The idea of acting normal around Stella seemed impossible, so she chose isolation.

Then, her phone broke the silence.

It was yet another apology message from Roy.

He had been sending them ever since their falling-out.

Overwhelmed, Miley tossed the phone aside.

She lay on her bed, gazing blankly at the ceiling.

Her heart felt heavy, too heavy to replace joy in anything.

Eventually, hunger nudged her from the bed to the kitchen.

She hadn’t felt like cooking these past days, and the fridge stood empty.

Deciding to step out, she changed and drove downtown.

Parking her car, she headed to the supermarket.

But then, a news flash caught her eye on a downtown LED billboard.

“Tomorrow night, the Pierce family and the Blakely Group will celebrate their union.

The Pierces have reserved Seamarsh’s priciest hotel, splurging over 10@ million on a lavish engagement party…”

Miley couldn’t bring herself to hear more.

Under the billboard, the sun blazed down.

She shielded her eyes with a hand, squinting for a clearer view.

The news seemed unbelievable.
