When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 656
Pausing momentarily, she lowered her voice, saying “Mr.
Clark, we’re at Heart’s Thrill Bar.
”
Matthew responded with a casual “Hmm.
”
Ensuring her phone was still connected, Miley picked up their c@@ktails and returned to the booth.
She set a glass before Stella and inconspicuously placed her phone, face down, between them.
With a self-satisfied grin, she lifted her glass to toast with Stella’s.
“Let’s not leave until we’ve both had our fill.
”
The lively ambiance left Stella with little room for introspection.
She offered a meek smile, retorting, “Two drinks won’t be enough.
”
Miley assured her, “No worries, drinks are on me tonight.
Indulge to your heart’s content.
”
While Stella wasn’t typically a drinker, the emotional toll of the past few days had her yearning for the solace found at the bottom of a glass.
She gulped down two drinks in rapid succession.
However, her eagerness backfired, causing her to choke and cough uncontrollably.
Her face flushed, and tears brimmed in her eyes.
Miley shifted to Stella’s side, patting her back lightly as she teased, “Hey, it’s not a race.
Why down it so quickly?”
Stella simply shook her head.
After regaining her composure, she wiped the tears that formed at the corners of her eyes.

“Miley, what do you think of me?”
Miley, taken aback, cradled Stella’s face and examined it closely.
“Why the sudden question? Did someone say something to make you doubt yourself?”
Gently pushing Miley’s hand away, Stella took another sip from her glass.
“No.
”
Miley wrapped an arm around Stella’s shoulders.
“To me, you’re one of the most amazing people I know.
You love deeply and stand up for what’s right.
”
Stella drained her glass in one shot, tugging her lips into a wry smile.
“You’re wrong.
I’m far from being that virtuous.
