When Love Comes Late
Chapter 769

“No need to explain,” Miley cut her off cheerily, giving her an insinuating smile.

“So, how was it? Did Matthew live up to your expectations?”

Stella remained momentarily stunned.

Once she grasped Miley’s meaning, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

“Let’s be serious,” she retorted, steering the conversation in a different direction as she nudged Miley.

“Why are you trying on all these clothes? Is there some sort of event?”

With a sigh, Miley picked up a long velvet dress she’d tossed aside earlier.

“My parents are back in town and want to meet up.

”

“Why the sudden visit?” Stella’s brow furrowed.

“Did they replace out about what happened to your company?”

“I’m not sure.

I’ll replace out when I see them,” Miley responded, slipping into her dress.

Then, shifting gears, she probed, “So, have you and Matthew…you know…gotten intimate? Is he attentive to you?”

“Absolutely not.

” Stella rolled her eyes.

“Right now, I’m focused on restarting my career.

I’ll take my time figuring out my relationship.

Grabbing her purse, she bolted out the door.

Miley managed to arrive at the restaurant just in time.

As the young man lifted his head, their eyes met.

Miley’s smile froze.

Why on earth was Neville here? What could he possibly be doing at this gathering?

Miley stood frozen, unable to move for what seemed an eternity.

Her mother, Ellie Cullen, glanced at the door as if sensing her daughter’s hesitation.
