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

    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…?"

    "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

    "Dad, you were right all along. Winston will never love me the way I love him. I've finally realized my mistake, and I'll return home now."Millie's hoarse voice echoed through the empty living room.Not only were the Caldwells the most affluent family in Lumina City, but they were also renowned for their medical lineage.Millie's grandfather, Arthur Caldwell, was a successful businessman, and her grandmother, Layla Cadmore, was a renowned cardiothoracic surgery professor. They were considered a match made in heaven.Millie had been studying medicine with her grandmother since she was a child. Layla had even said that she was a genius destined for the medical field!Her grandparents had laid the groundwork for her future, her father had amassed a vast fortune for her to inherit, and her mother had assured her that she could always live freely under her protection.Yet she sacrificed everything for Winston and reduced herself to this sorry state. At that time, she was very ideal

    Winston refused to believe it, so he searched every possible place for Millie.He had searched through the backyard, the study, and even the home theater. However, Millie was still nowhere to be seen, and even her belongings were no longer around.On the bookshelf in the study, Millie's frequently read medical books had also been completely cleared out.He hardly ever returned to the villa. With Millie gone, the place felt even more desolate.Winston made his way downstairs with heavy steps and noticed the empty space behind the couch. When he saw the damaged painting thrown into the trash can, his breath hitched.After they got married, Millie always pestered him to go shopping with her. Since he was always busy with work and somewhat disliked her, he kept making excuses to get out of it.Winston suddenly recalled that moment when it was Millie's birthday. She had come to the company and asked, "Win, can you spend my birthday with me? If you are very busy, half an hour is fine."

    Millie couldn't help feeling dazed as she stared at Winston, who led her ahead.Winston had done this back then, too. He'd held her hand as they escaped from those chasing after them. Millie wouldn't have fallen so deeply in love with him if he had treated her poorly in the past. She wouldn't have married him, even if it meant she'd cut ties with her family.But why was he here? And what was he doing now? Was he jealous because he saw her being close to another man?However, Millie soon brushed those thoughts away. After all, Winston was heartless and had never once loved her. Why would he be jealous?Millie felt herself get pushed into a washroom. The alcohol had taken over her body and left her slightly weak.With a stern expression, Winston pinned Millie against the edge of the sink. The washroom lights shined from above Winston. It blurred the outline of his features in Millie's eyes. Regardless, it wasn't difficult to see how attractive he was."We haven't officially got

    A banquet took place that night on the 33rd floor of Sablen Hotel. One could see the bustling night view of Yerwick City through the floor-to-ceiling windows.A pleasant piano tune filled the space as Millie leaned lazily against the bar before her. She swirled the red wine in her glass out of boredom while her striking eyes darted around.She garnered some heated looks from men at the event. They wanted to strike up a conversation with her but dared not do it.Millie wore a long black dress with spaghetti straps. The skirt part had some pleating that showed off her slim calves. Meanwhile, the dress flowed loosely on her body, perfectly highlighting her curves. Her curled locks cascaded down her back. It allowed her butterfly tattoo to peek through occasionally, captivating those around her.That was when her phone chimed. She looked down at it and noticed it was a text from Terrence. It read, "Have you made it to the banquet?"Sighing, Millie texted, "Yeah."Terrence had pic

    The banquet hall fell into chaos.Everyone set their wine glasses down to gather and see what was happening."Has anyone called the ambulance?""When is the ambulance coming? The Harrison family won't spare us if anything happens to Mr. Harrison!"Millie looked ahead and saw the roughly 50-something-year-old Patrick on the ground with a ghastly pale face. She glanced at the time, realizing it was a 15-minute journey to the hospital from here. After all, it was rush hour then. It would be too late if they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Plus, no one in the hotel stepped up to resolve the issue. Millie noticed Patrick's condition was worsening with time. Given that she had studied medicine since she was young, she couldn't help worrying about him. With a frown, she stepped forward. "Let me take a look."Everyone's attention settled on Millie before they scoffed. "Can you even do it? Everyone knows your family, the Caldwells, have a background in medicine. BUt you're just a

    It turned out to be Millie.Joanna fell to the ground, so Winston bolted to help her.Millie knelt, undid Patrick's necktie at lightning speed, and tossed it aside.Joanna shook her head at Winston before frowning at Millie. "What are you doing, Mills? Can you even handle it?"The bystanders were also in shock."Can a worthless loser like her handle this if even Ms. Lowell can't?""Mr. Harrison is a big deal! How dare she undo his top on such an occasion? What on earth is she planning?"Joanna pursed her lips when she heard everyone insult Millie. Then, she spoke gently, "Don't force things just because everyone is hard on you. Mills, the Caldwell family dotes on you a lot, but this isn't the same as you throwing tantrums at home. What'll happen if you kill—" Panic coursed through her veins as she spoke, and she even grabbed Millie's arm. She acted as if she was genuinely concerned for Millie."Shut up." Millie flung the former's arm off, narrowing her eyes with a steely edge

    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

    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!"

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    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
