“Sorry, I’ve been swamped with work and didn’t check my phone,” Miley replied softly.
Stella let out a relieved breath, sensing nothing amiss in Miley’s voice. Then, she asked cautiously, “About last night… Is everything okay with you and Neville?”
There was a brief silence before Miley responded calmly, “We’ve broken up.”
Stella was shocked. Things seemed like Neville and Miley were going to end well last night. She expected them to make up.
“What happened exactly? Neville actually said that?” Stella asked in disbelief.
Miley cut her off. “It’s normal for couples to break up, Stella.
Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. I caused you way too much trouble these past few days. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”
“But Miley…” Stella wanted to say something more, but Miley hung up.
Miley was trying to act tough. And it only made Stella worry more.
Stella went back to Prosper Bay. As she got to the gate, she saw Matthew’s car being parked.
Matthew got out of the car and walked to her. He hugged her tightly.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
With his arm wrapped around her, holding her close to him, he walked into the house.

Stella just couldn’t figure it out. What was wrong with Neville?
Matthew paused for a few seconds. “I didn’t know. I couldn’t get in touch with him today either.”
Knowing how much Stella cared about the matter, he tried reaching out to Neville when he got to the company, but failed to get through.
Stella let out a long sigh. “I just don’t get him!”
Matthew ruffled her hair gently. “They’ve decided. All we can do now is respect their decisions.”
Stella knew that already but just couldn’t stop herself from worrying.
Matthew lowered his head to meet her eyes. “Don’t be upset, sweetheart. I have good news.”
“What ?”
