When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 657
Miley frowned, about to object to Stella’s self-critique.
But Stella pressed on, her voice tinged with pensiveness.
“I want to leave my job, sever ties with Prosperity Group, and most of all, distance myself from Matthew as much as possible.
”
Miley’s heart skipped a beat.
Her eyes flicked involuntarily to the phone on the table.
On the other end, Matthew’s heart tightened.
He hadn’t expected that all his endeavors would only deepen her aversion to him.
Regaining her composure, Miley redirected the conversation.
“So, what’s the real reason behind your wanting to distance yourself from Prosperity Group and Matthew?”

“It’s because I’ve made a grievous mistake.

Her voice faltered as tears again filled her eyes, spilling down her cheeks.
Miley felt her own heart wrench.
Wrapping her arms around Stella, she spoke softly, full of genuine concern.

Gathering herself, she pressed Stella for confirmation.
“Are you truly infatuated with someone else?”
Stella nodded, choosing to remain silent.
Miley’s eyes widened in disbelief, her voice tinged with urgency as she asked, “Who is it?”
Knowing Stella as a steadfast woman, Miley found it inconceivable that she could entertain feelings for another man while still married.
To Miley, the notion seemed utterly implausible.
“I need a drink…” Already clouded by alcohol, Stella’s judgment wavered.
