"Is this… a painting by Quentin Scott?" Layla asked, a bit incredulous.The Caldwell family held quite a respectable reputation in Yerwick City. Coupled with Layla's status, she was certainly not lacking in esteem.She wanted to buy this painting and had been trying to purchase it for over a year, but she still wasn't able to get it.The moment Winston nodded, she once again sensed the disparity between the Caldwell family and the Greer family.Although they didn't disagree that Winston wronged Millie, the truth was that they did have a good sense in their choices."Grandma, this is a painting by Quentin Scott. I bought it directly from Quentin Scott's assistant myself. It's absolutely genuine." Winston nodded, his demeanor gentle and well-mannered.Layla had thought Winston might give her something she liked, but she never expected that he would actually give her the painting "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott!Layla couldn't help but stand up and approach Winston.

Winston nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma, I understand."Millie smiled warmly, unable to hold back her laughter. Layla was just so endearing."Alright, the lights are all set up. What's on the menu today, and who's cooking?" Thomas walked in casually.Everly took off her coat and saw that there was a painting in front of Layla."Oh, could this be something that Mr. Greer brought?" she asked. "This painting looks really expensive.""Mr. Greer, do I get a gift?" Everly couldn't help teasing Winston.Winston knew that this was yet another person coming to give him a challenge."Sorry. I didn't know you and Uncle Thomas were here, so I didn't prepare anything. If there's something you like, I can buy it for you," he offered."How hilarious! Do you think I can't afford it? Do I need you to buy it?" Everly scoffed.Winston smiled and said, "Yes, you can afford it, but there's always a difference between something gifted to you and something you buy for yourself.""Mr. Greer i

Millie glanced at Winston with initial shock and disbelief in her eyes. Then a hint of amusement appeared, and soon she couldn't hold it in and broke into laughter."Haha!" Millie raised her hand and placed the back of it on Winston's forehead.He didn't have a fever, right? Why else would he go along with such an absurd request?"Winston, where's your self-respect?" Millie tapped Winston's head.Winston furrowed his brow, wondering what exactly self-respect was supposed to be. Was it something edible, or could he use it to pursue Millie?She wanted to hear him, so he just played along for her. After all, women only needed a little bit of coaxing."I have none. It's all gone. Maybe the dog ate it." Winston spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.Millie laughed and said, "You're being silly. Go help Grandpa put up the Spring Festival couplets!"Winston nodded. "Alright, let's get to work."Millie watched Winston as he bustled about, and a wave of emotions began

Thomas said, "Please, have a seat. No need to stand on ceremony."Thomas figured he couldn't be too unwelcoming, could he? He needed to act more charming.After all, this was Winston's first time spending the Spring Festival with the Caldwell family, and it was entirely his own decision to come."Uncle Thomas, is there anything I can help with?" Winston asked.Thomas shook his head and said, "Just take a seat. Not causing trouble would be the biggest help.""Dad, come on. We're adults now, not kids anymore. Stop messing around!" Everly scoffed.Thomas squinted and smiled without saying anything. He set down his beer bottle and went back to his tasks.Layla went to put away her calligraphy and paintings, and she even posted an update on Instagram.Millie saw an Instagram post and couldn't help but smile. Layla really knew how to show off.Layla: "Today, I received "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott. I really like it. Thank you."Winston didn't have access to Layla

"Maybe, there's a little bit of liking." Millie tilted her head, "Do you believe in genuine friendship between men and women?""Maybe…" Winston answered, sounding a bit unsure of himself.Millie pouted and mimicked his words, "Maybe…?"Winston looked down and said, "Maybe not."Millie nodded, saying, "But the feelings of the older generation are very genuine. Let them be. Grandma and Grandpa have a stable relationship, and that's what matters."Winston really couldn't agree more."Grandpa treats Grandma really well. Didn't I go grocery shopping with them yesterday? Grandpa is constantly looking out for her, and Grandma does the same. When she saw Grandpa nearly fall, the worry was all over her face… This is what it truly means to grow old together."He couldn't help but add, "I hope we can also make it to the end, Millie."Millie and Winston gradually walked down the alley.The two of them rarely had the chance to talk in such a calm and peaceful setting, so they both cherishe

Millie noticed that Winston seemed restless and asked him, "Would you like to try some pierogi?""He's a big man, and you're telling him to wrap pierogis?" Layla interrupted Millie.Was Winston, a princely man, the type to be making pierogis?"Why don't you let him give it a try? Otherwise, what's he sitting around for?" Millie asked her grandmother.Layla said, "He can just sit there.""Woah, Grandma, then is it okay if I sit there too?" Millie asked.Layla immediately rejected her, saying, "No way.""Isn't that being hypocritical?" Millie grumbled."It looks like you picked the right gift. See how well Grandma speaks of you," Millie couldn't help but say to Winston.Winston nodded. "Thank you, Grandma.""There's no need for thanks… It just doesn't make sense to have an outsider making pierogi," Layla muttered.Winston was speechless. That almost felt worse than not being thanked at all. That comment was just too harsh."Mr. Greer, how well can you handle your alcohol?" Th

"I'm not very familiar with them. Really not that familiar." Millie forced a smile, politely denying the claim.Everly gently shook Millie's arm, saying, "Mills, I really want to meet Butterfly. Plus, I want to thank them for lending me Snowdrop.""Well, you should thank me. After all, I'm the one who lent it to you," Millie remarked with a slight pout while continuing to make pierogi without stopping.Everly said definitely, "No."Millie gave Everly a stern look and tapped her lightly on the head, saying, "When someone doesn't want to meet, you need to respect their wishes."Everly sighed and thought for a moment, agreeing with Millie. Fine then, she would relent.Millie nodded.Thomas was curious and asked, "So Mills really talks to Butterfly?""It was just a brief encounter before. We aren't actually that close!" Millie said awkwardly, worried that these people would ask her to find Butterfly again.Winston listened quietly, maintaining his silence.Millie couldn't help bu

When it came to discussing the contract termination, Everly stood up immediately. She pointed at Thomas, her chest heaving with anger. She couldn't believe he actually brought up ending her contract!Millie and the others watching them were speechless.The father-and-daughter duo seemed really intense. They would just argue if they wanted to."Alright, alright, even bad publicity is still publicity." Millie quickly grabbed Everly and gestured for her to stop talking. It was New Year's, so why all the fuss?Work was never-ending, so they shouldn't let small issues cause arguments when enjoying quality time with family."Ugh, it's so noisy," Layla said while holding her forehead, then rubbed her temples with one hand.Millie smiled, but Arthur remained indifferent. It seemed this scene happened frequently."Hey, Evie, can't you at least improve how people perceive you?" Millie asked, intrigued.Everly was frustrated. "I'm fed up with trying to appease those bandwagon haters!"

While in the hospital, Millie rubbed her arms to keep warm. Then, the person on the bed woke up.Millie turned her head and looked at the person on the hospital bed. Winston's eyes were dull and showed signs of exhaustion. Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.The nurse entered and saw that Winston was awake, so she patiently asked about his condition.He just kept looking at Millie without saying anything.Millie glanced at the nurse, signaling that she could continue with her work. Winston seemed fine now."You're not allowed to drink anymore," Millie said, her voice calm and indifferent.He closed his eyes, turned his head away, and didn't look at her again.Millie frowned and asked, "What do you mean by turning your head?"Winston remained silent, unable to speak because of the tightness in his throat.Millie poured a glass of water and asked him, "Would you like some water?"He still remained silent.Millie grew impatient and said, "Then I'll call Eli to take

Other than that word, Everly couldn't hear anything else."Dad, I can't hear what you're saying at all." Everly was becoming frustrated.Thomas exclaimed, "I said, Mills!""Yes, you're talking about Mills. And then? What about her?" Everly was extremely confused.She picked up her phone to check the time—it was already 3:00 am.She was about to lose it. From New Year's Eve till now, she did nothing but take care of Thomas."Dad, why don't we just go to sleep?" Everly didn't want to listen anymore.Whatever it was, she would be nice to Millie and not go up against her.She didn't like Millie before, but that was simply because she disliked how obsessed Millie was with romantic relationships."Oh! Ah!" Thomas suddenly started grumbling as he threw back the blanket. "Why can't you understand?"He was getting agitated.Everly was also getting extremely agitated. What exactly did she need to understand?He wasn't even speaking loud enough."I mean your sister! Millie!" Thomas s

Everly, feeling exasperated, helped Thomas off the couch and took him to the bathroom.Thomas lifted his head. His face was flushed, and his eyes dazed over. "My daughter, my daughter, I didn't throw up…"Everly looked at the mess on the ground and felt a headache coming on. Thomas had already thrown up, yet he still claimed he hadn't."You're drinking so much even though you can't handle it!" Everly shouted."What are you saying? It's like you're saying, saying, saying… ugh!" Thomas immediately leaned over the toilet, unable to finish his sentence. It was like he was speaking in tongue twisters, and no one could understand him.Everly sighed. She twitched her nose and turned to go outside to wait for him.Ten minutes went by, and Everly had finished tidying up the house. There was no sound coming from the washroom where Thomas was.Everly furrowed her brows and called out, "Dad?"Fine. It seemed like he was going to end up sleeping on the toilet.Everly walked over and, as ex

"I'll go get your medicine for you. Wait a moment." Millie intended to get the medicine from the bedside table.But then, Winston grabbed her arm. His palms were sweaty, and when he held her hand, it felt so hot it was as if he might burn her.Millie looked down at him.Winston looked up at her face, worried that if he let go, she might disappear.However, he knew very well that Millie wanted to leave, and he couldn't stop her."Millie, do you really have to give up on me?" Winston asked again, seeming determined to get an answer.Millie furrowed her brows, breathing heavily."Do you have to?" He looked at her. "Hmm?"Millie felt her heart tighten, and she just couldn't bring herself to say, "I have to let you go.""Winston," she called to him.Winston had no more strength left in him, as if he couldn't wait any longer to hear those words from her.He suddenly bent over and fell to the ground.Millie paused for a moment, then she quickly crouched down. "Winston?"She immed

Millie tightened her grip on the doorknob and turned to look at Winston.He stood next to the coffee table, his hands dangling awkwardly at his sides. The expression on his face seemed profoundly sorrowful. Although they were close, it felt as if a huge ocean stood between them when he looked at her, making it impossible for him to bridge the gap.Winston made a slight groaning sound, licking his lips and breathing heavily. His body was also swaying a bit. His stomach felt extremely uncomfortable, churning violently as if he might throw up at any moment.What bothered him even more was the comment Millie had just made.She said, "Let's end this."End it? But how would they just end it? Then were her seven years over just like that? Did his guilt and regret count for anything?She could move on from him, love someone else, and marry them. But what about him? He could never forgive himself for the rest of his life…Could they just end it?"Millie. Tell me, how are we supposed to

"Listen." Millie bit her lip but finally mustered up the courage to speak. "Let's end this between us."During those years with him, she caused her family a lot of worry and concern. She no longer wanted her family to worry about her.Or perhaps, she had become scared. She didn't want to gamble with her feelings anymore."Winston, I admit defeat. I don't have the courage to go through this with you again." Millie's voice was choked with emotion as she struggled to hold back her sadness while saying this.Winston instinctively reached for her hand."Millie, you promised me. You said you'd give me a chance. Why?" His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse it seemed like he could barely speak."There's no reason. The new year has begun, and I hope you get better. Don't come looking for me anymore." Millie pulled away from Winston's hand, turned around, and got ready to leave.He suddenly hugged Millie tightly and said, "Don't…"Winston's voice seemed to pierce

Millie opened the car door and pushed Winston inside the car.Winston fastened his seatbelt in the dark by himself.Millie got into the car and saw him sitting there quietly, which made her smile and sigh.Millie drove at a moderate speed. The road was busy, with many people out to watch fireworks, while others were heading home.Winston looked to the driver's side, his gaze fixed on Millie.Millie could sense that he was watching her, but she kept avoiding eye contact. Her mind was preoccupied with the messages her dad had sent.Let him go… The question was, could she give up on him?Millie furrowed her brow and rested her hand on her forehead, deep in thought."Did I make you hate me…?" Winston's raspy voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.Millie looked over at him with confusion."Does my drinking make you hate me?" he asked again, just like a child afraid of upsetting Millie."No." Millie shook her head.Despite having drunk too much, he still made an effort to pay at

After the video call ended, Millie placed her phone on the table.Thomas said to Millie, "Hahaha! Mills, look, he can't handle his drink!"Having been the son-in-law of the Caldwell family for three years, I only just found out that he can't hold his liquor."Millie gave a wry smile. This statement seemed to be a double-edged sword. For three years, he hadn't visited the Caldwell family even once. Winston was truly ruthless at that time.Winston quickly explained to Millie, "Millie, I haven't had too much. I can still drink, honestly."His face was completely flushed, and it was clear that his speech was slurred.The two of them had already finished a bottle of vodka.Thomas was even ready to switch to a different type of alcohol.Thomas had spent many years away from home and was quite a heavy drinker. His drinking ability was different from that of Winston.Winston could ask Eli to drink on his behalf if he didn't want to, but if Thomas was trying to win resources for Rach

At the dining table, Thomas and Winston started drinking vodka.The TV was showing this year's New Year Gala while Millie was quietly eating pierogi.She hadn't had homemade pierogi for three years, and they tasted so good. It felt like being back in her childhood, celebrating the New Year with her family. That was what made the festival truly special.Millie looked at her grandparents with a constant smile on her face. She felt happier than she had ever been before.She wished her parents were here too. Oh, those two…Just as she was thinking about this, her phone rang. It was Terrence calling.Millie answered the call without saying a word and pointed the camera toward Thomas.This year, Thomas had no one to drink with, so he turned to Winston for company.Terrence was lounging in the sun when he caught sight of Winston. His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately set down his juice."Who is that? Am I seeing this right?" Terrence sat up straight, his voice filled with
