Miley gradually stopped crying after a while.
Stella gently guided her back to the car. Exhausted from her tears and the effects of alcohol, Miley leaned on Stella, quickly falling asleep.
Stroking Miley’s hair back from her face, Stella let out a tired sigh.
She leaned towards Matthew in the front seat and said, “Have a word with Neville when you can. He needs to decide what he wants. It’s not fair to keep hurting Miley like this.”
“Understood. With a serious look, Matthew nodded. “I’ll talk to him, don’t worry.”
Stella stayed quiet, not wanting to disturb Miley.
The car moved quietly through the streets. When they reached Miley’s house, Stella got out first, whispering to Miley, “We’re home.”
Miley mumbled a response, her eyes still closed.
Stella fished out the keys and helped Miley out of the car. As they approached the door, a man’s voice broke the silence. “Let me help her inside.”
Stella and Matthew turned towards where the voice came from.

stepped forward again, but Matthew quickly intervened. “My love, we should let them sort it out themselves.”
“I promise you, Stella, I’ll explain everything to Miley.” Neville seemed serious.
Stella could tell that he was being sincere, her anger began to subside slowly. “You better learn to treat her right if you really want to be with her.”
“I do and I will. I promise. You should head back. I’ll make sure she’s okay.” With that, Neville scooped Miley up in his arms and walked inside, leaving Matthew and Stella standing outside.
Stella finally decided to let them handle it themselves and walked away with Matthew.
Matthew drove off after they settled in the car. They soon arrived at their villa. Matthew let out a long sigh as he parked the car.
“Finally…just us.”
