Millie Caldwell fails to win Winston Greer's heart despite them being married for three years. They get married after a misunderstanding, and Millie goes back to being the princess of the Caldwell family.Her father asks, "When are you going to inherit my billions, sweetheart?"Her mother beams. "Be a designer like me! You're bound to become famous with me backing you up!"Her grandmother says sternly, "Mills has to take up medicine. Think about her prowess in the medical field—it'd be a waste not to use her skills!"Millie asks her grandfather, "What do you think, Grandpa?"He looks pleased. "How about we drink some tea and plant some flowers? You can enjoy your retirement before you're due for it."Millie thinks this is the best her life can get… until Winston latches onto her and refuses to let go."I regret everything, Mills." He holds her tightly after getting drunk. His eyes are red, and he chokes up as he says, "Can you call me your husband just one more time?"Millie smiles. "Have some shame, jerkface."Jerkface says, "Being shamed means nothing compared to having you as my wife."
View MoreThe man was wearing a loose sweatshirt with black pants. On top of that, he wore a long padded coat. His tall stature made him stand out among the other students. He looked even more like a student because of his outfit.Millie was a bit surprised when the person happened to look up in her direction. The two of them stood gazing at each other from across a wide asphalt road.Millie walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"Winston pressed his lips together and didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her, "Why are you here so late?""I asked you first." Millie looked up at him, determined to get an answer."Just trying to revisit some memories," he said calmly. He ran a hand through his hair before putting both hands in his pockets.Millie hummed in acknowledgment."What about you? You're not from the University of Yerwick, are you?" he laughed.Millie looked at him with a calm expression, as if nothing could really stir her interest."I have quite a few memories
Millie felt guilty, squeezing the orange in her hand so hard it was almost about to burst. She mumbled softly, "I mean, is it alright that Winston also came to the Spring Festival?"Layla placed the items on the table, then sat down on the couch and asked, "Why? Doesn't he have a home to go to?"Millie hesitated. That was a tricky question to answer."Got kicked out by the Greer family?" She eyed Millie with an intense gaze that was overwhelming and quite fierce.Millie didn't dare speak, but she still had to answer, "No."Layla gave a cold smile and immediately asked, "So why isn't he going back to his own home for New Year's Day and instead coming to ours? Is he crazy?""Grandma, he…" Millie wanted to explain."I don't agree," Layla stated flatly, dismissing any further explanations.Millie choked up and quietly looked over at Arthur.Arthur's expression grew more serious, as if he agreed with what Layla had said, and he turned his attention to the television."You're not e
Winston could sense that Millie was helping him to look better in front of the elders.Millie's demeanor remained as gentle as ever.The more he pursued her, the more he felt unworthy of her. She was really too outstanding.It was true that with some people, the more one got to know them, the more one would fall in love with them.Meanwhile, some others became less noteworthy as more people got to know them.Winston sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Millie."He felt grateful regardless of whether she was willing to give herself another chance or if she once loved him.Millie looked down and said, "No need to thank me. I'm giving you a chance, but it's also a chance for myself.""Winston, even if I'm not with you, I won't love anyone else again."One painful experience of love was more than enough for her.Winston chuckled softly and said with a deep voice, "That's my fault. Regardless of whether we end up together in the future or not, Millie, don't turn down som
"Are you complimenting me?" Winston suddenly felt like he turned into a fool in front of Millie.He couldn't understand what she said anymore, whether it was good or bad things. All he knew was that Millie was in front of him, and simply seeing her made him feel content.Millie could tell that Winston didn't seem to be in his right mind today. She wouldn't tease him anymore, then.Soon, an attendant served the food.The sound of the cello gently filled the room, and it sounded quite pleasant. It was a rare quiet night, and Millie had been tired recently. It was quite nice to suddenly enjoy this gentle moment.Millie was about to slice into some foie gras when Winston handed over a small piece of steak. "Try it. It's delicious," he said.Millie looked at Winston. He didn't make a move and just stared at her as she started eating.Millie pressed her lips together, not feeling her spirits dampen at all.The steak he gave did taste quite good.Winston noticed she enjoyed it, so he
Eli nodded and said, "Okay."Winston asked him, "How's the matter I told you to handle?""Don't worry, Mr. Greer. We'll definitely get the bag that Ms. Caldwell likes," Eli replied with a smile.Millie couldn't help but feel sorry for Eli. It seemed that Eli really had a hard time.The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat quiet.Eli wanted the couple to talk a bit more, so he started a conversation by asking, "Ms. Caldwell, did Madam Layla and Mr. Caldwell senior give Mr. Greer a hard time?"Millie looked up and casually said, "Not really. My grandpa is in a good mood."Winston was shocked. "Huh? He was in a good mood?"How nice of them! They immediately kicked him out!"Does that mean Madam Layla isn't in a good mood?" Eli smiled.Millie quickly shook her head and said, "No, my grandmother was really polite and even told Winston to say less."Winston was speechless. Millie managed to make something unpleasant sound quite nice.She was quite good at keeping her reputation
Winston was genuinely flustered. He probably never got this nervous, even when he was discussing deals worth billions of dollars.Millie poured him some coffee, gesturing for him to drink some water as well and to calm down a bit.Winston held his coffee cup and hesitated for a moment without taking a sip. He turned to Millie and asked, "Is there any hope for me?"Millie chuckled.Winston was actually a pretty interesting person when he was not being a jerk.Was there any hope for him?"I don't know," Millie said, shaking her head deliberately.A trace of frustration was evident in Winston's deep-set eyes. What did Millie mean by that?"Could you please say some nice things about me in front of Mr. Caldwell Senior and Madam Layla?" he asked as he sighed, feeling quite wistful.Millie looked down and said, "What good are nice words? Back when I insisted on marrying you, didn't Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Greer Senior also put in a good word for me?"He still was not listening to anyth
Layla hummed softly to herself as she picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee."Mr. Caldwell Senior. Madam Layla. I'm sorry I'm only visiting you today." Winston started off with a very formal tone.Millie could really sense the disharmony between Winston and her grandparents."There's no need to apologize. We don't have any special relationship. Even if you don't come to see us, we won't say anything about it," Layla muttered.Winston choked up. She wasn't wrong."After I married Millie, I didn't visit you two. That was my mistake," Winston admitted.Layla, upon hearing that, set her cup down on the table with a sudden motion. He dared to talk about that matter? How dare he?Winston suddenly found himself unable to speak.Millie felt frustrated. Winston was really quite brave. He even dared to bring up the topic of marriage.It was a relief that Layla only set the cup down and didn't tell him to leave.It was clear that Layla was holding back her anger.The atmosphere su
"Are you trying to provoke me?" Winston asked, his expression becoming serious.Millie shrugged, indicating she didn't mean anything by it.However, anyone with a keen eye could tell that she was trying to provoke him.Eli was quietly laughing to himself in the back.He felt relieved to see that the relationship between the two of them had thawed to the point where they could joke around like that.It seems that Winston wasn't deserving of death and still had a chance to save himself."I'm not using reverse psychology; think about it. Do you actually want to come in or not?" Millie shrugged and stood aside, inviting him in.Of course, Winston had to go in. There was no backing out at the last moment. Millie would never let him live it down if he did."I'm going!" he said firmly.Millie chuckled. "There's no chance of escaping now.""Just one thing," Winston said with a hint of pleading in his voice.Millie squinted at him with confusion,"When I can't handle it, please help
Millie felt embarrassed by her slipup."It's really hard to see you even once," Winston complained. Yesterday, he even went to the research lab, but the staff there said she was out on some work.Millie walked with her head down, staring at the ground.Amidst the quiet, she suddenly heard Winston ask, "When are you coming back?""I want to spend more time with my grandparents."Winston was silent for a few seconds.Then, as if he had made a decision, he said, "Then I'll come to see you and also visit your grandparents."Millie looked up with surprise."Why would you? Aren't you worried they'll just criticize you? It'll just be awkward if both of them confront you." Millie was still somewhat hesitant.Then, he asked, "Haven't I been embarrassed enough in front of you?""No… I…"Millie was at a loss for words.Her malice toward Winston was the greatest in the world, but others at least showed him a bit of courtesy.Millie definitely wouldn't do that."I'm on my way," he sai
"Millie, you're delusional if you think I'll ever love you!"As he held her by the throat, he pinned her to the couch, his face filled with disgust as he growled, "I've had enough of you. If you don't start behaving yourself, I'm going to file for divorce within six months!""I-I didn't do it! Joanna fell into the pool by herself."Millie Caldwell's voice was feeble. She was soaked to the bone, and her frail body trembled.She was still reeling from the shock of falling into the pool."Stop trying to talk your way out of this. You've been Jo's friend for years. You know damn well she has a fear of drowning!" Winston Greer looked furious and threatening. It seemed like he was silently warning Millie that she would suffer badly if anything bad happened to Joanna. Millie was instantly convicted based solely on her long friendship with Joanna.Millie's eyes were glistening with tears, and a single tear trickled down her cheek. She was utterly heartbroken.She could hardly believ
