When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2438

Miley shot Neville a glare, her tone sharp.

Youre not even thinking straight.

Weve always been careful, so if I really were pregnant, shouldnt you be worried first? Why are you so focused on planning a wedding instead? Nevilles face darkened with irritation at her words.

Furrowing his brow, he retorted, Miley, dont say things like that.

Throwing around something Like this could hurt your reputation.

Seeing the seriousness in his expression, Miley realized she had crossed a Line.

She stopped teasing and lightly pushed him away as she stood up, preparing to return to the kitchen to continue making the soup.

But before she could leave, Neville grabbed her hand, his gaze steady and filled with intent.

Babe, honestly, I think we should consider having a baby.

Look at it this way, Miley paused, her thoughts racing, before shaking her head firmly.

Neville, our relationship is stable right now, but you know how your mother feels about us.

I dont want to use a child to force her to compromise.

Even if we ended up married, thered always be unspoken tension.

Her voice softened, the weight of her thoughts evident in her tone. Neville immediately realized his mistake-he had let his emotions take over without considering hers.
