Susie chuckled, looked at Neville seriously, and said, “But I’ve changed my mind. I want to continue dating you.”
Neville stopped for a moment, realizing she meant it. His face turned cold as he said firmly, “I have a girlfriend.”
“It doesn’t matter. You’ve already broken up ” Susie replied, raising an eyebrow. “Anyway, I’ll keep chasing you.”
At the busy mall, Stella pulled Miley along for some shopping.
With Christmas around the corner, she was on a hunt for the perfect present for Matthew and also wanted to cheer Miley up.

Ever since that chaotic day, Miley had been sticking close to home.
She ventured out only for work.
Stella started to worry that Miley’s behavior could lead to problems.
“Miley, what do you think of this tie? Do you think it’ll look good on Matthew?” Stella asked, showing her a tie.
Miley, brought back to reality, nodded. “Yeah, it’s pretty nice.”
Next, Stella showed her a pair of cufflinks, seeking her opinion.
Miley’s replies were vague and indifferent.
Seeing Miley’s lack of excitement, Stella didn’t insist. “Let’s wrap it up for today. I’m tired from the shopping. How about some food?”
“Sure.” Miley’s responses were still subdued.
At a cozy restaurant, Stella asked, “Miley, have you thought about seeing Neville? He’s been trying to get in touch. I heard his surgery was successful. He’s getting out of the hospital soon.”
Over the last few days, Miley had processed her feelings and realized she might have been too quick to judge. She admitted to herself that Neville deserved a chance to explain things.
After a moment’s thought, she said, “If Neville comes to me, I’ll give him a chance to explain.”
Once Susie had expressed her feelings to Neville, he responded with a casual “whatever” and proceeded to close his eyes, choosing to ignore her entirely.

Not wanting to push him further, Susie decided to leave after dropping him off at the villa.
Inside the room, Neville finally let out a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t decipher if Susie’s actions were spontaneous or if she genuinely held affection for him. Regardless of her motivations, he chose not to dwell on it, for his focus was now entirely on Miley.
With Miley at the forefront of his thoughts, Neville picked up his phone and dialed Matthew.
He sought Matthew’s assistance, saying, “Miley has blocked all my contact information. I need you and Stella to help me out here. Ask Stella to arrange a meeting with Miley, and I’ll explain everything face to face. With your presence, Miley will definitely listen to me.”
Matthew readily agreed to the plan.
