When Love Comes Late
Chapter 778

That evening, Matthew was positively jubilant.

Unaware of how much he had drunk, his face turned a rosy hue.

The group reveled in high spirits for a time.

After the clock struck ten, the guests gradually dispersed.

Surveying the disarray in the apartment, Miley offered, “I don’t plan on heading home tonight.

Would you like me to stay and tidy up?”

Stella accepted the offer without hesitation.

Matthew’s brow furrowed, prompting Neville to swiftly grasp Miley’s hand.

Miley shot him a sharp look.

“What are you up to?”

Feigning concern, Neville fibbed, “My car’s been out of commission for a few days.

Could you give me a lift home?”

Miley was clearly reluctant and about to decline when Neville added, his voice laced with urgency, “Let’s move.

It’s getting late.

He discreetly winked at her as he spoke.

Glancing around, Miley realized that aside from her and Neville, only Stella and Matthew remained.

She grasped Neville’s implication immediately.

“Ah!” She tapped her forehead as if struck by sudden insight.

“Stella, I had promised Neville a ride home tonight.

We’re taking off.

In a flash, they vanished through the doorway.

Stella felt puzzled but soon connected the dots, realizing Miley’s parents aimed to set them up.

A knowing smile curved her lips.

Turning to Matthew, she queried, “Aren’t you leaving? It’s getting late.

Undeterred, Matthew began to roll up his sleeves.

“You’ve got a mess to clean, and I can lend a hand.

Before Stella could decline, Matthew set to work.

She pressed her lips together, opting for silence since there was, indeed, much to be done.

Together, they accomplished the task in under an hour.

As Stella wiped the final glass clean, she noticed Matthew lounging in the living room with no apparent plans to depart.

She furrowed her brow, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
