Chapter 108

Author: Gina Cinq
Winston took a deep breath and recalled what the others said. "Millie always followed Winston around but vanished the moment he was kidnapped!"

He raised his hand, unable to resist the urge to bite his fingertips, his gaze growing more complex.

"You're all grown up now, yet you still bite your finger," Millie exclaimed, her tone dripping with mockery.

Winston averted his gaze and frowned. He promptly withdrew his hand, feeling unease.

He wondered if it was Millie who had saved him, but he couldn't understand why she never mentioned it in the past three years. He felt suspicious and decided to ask her directly about what had happened back then.

Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open, and the chef presented the food. "Cobb salad, steak pie, and pumpkin soup. Mr. and Mrs. Greer, enjoy your meal."

At first, Millie wasn't hungry. However, when she saw the food on the table, her stomach started growling. She had skipped dinner after a tiring day of work and was thus starvin

    "Win, have you reached home?" Joanna's voice was soft and gentle.Winston glanced toward the door and replied softly, "I'm home.""Could you please give me a ride to work tomorrow morning?" Joanna asked a little coquettishly with a hint of a smile. Winston took a sip of water. "I'll pick you up after work."He had to go to the cell the following morning."No, please take me to work and pick me up when I finish. We can have dinner together, alright?" Joanna's voice softened.Winston lost his patience. "Joanna, don't force me to do something I don't want."There was a momentary silence on the other end of the phone, followed by her question. "Then what would you like to do?"Winston massaged his forehead, feeling irritated. "I'll pick you up after work. I'm hanging up now."After that, he ended the call.At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce was parked outside the private kitchen. Inside the car, Joanna gripped her phone tightly, only to hear the beep, signaling the call was dis

    Winston was stunned. He couldn't believe that she had actually blocked him. He called Millie right away but discovered that his number was also blocked when he attempted to call but couldn't reach her. He instantly felt upset and overwhelmed with anger.She was so bold that she even dared to block him. Moreover, she was perfectly fine while eating just now. So why did she suddenly lose her mind when she went to the bathroom? Wasn't she the one who used to want to be with him every day?Winston glared at Millie's half-finished meal on the table, feeling annoyed. He strode up and walked out. At the cash register, the boss said, "Mr. Greer, Mrs. Greer has already settled the bill."Winston was even more frustrated. He felt humiliated that his own wife paid the bill when they went out to eat together."When did she leave?" Winston asked coldly.The boss glanced at the clock and replied, "Fifteen minutes ago."Fifteen minutes ago? Winston retrieved his phone and checked his call log

    2823 raised his head and locked eyes with Winston.Winston gazed at him, feeling a slight unease. At that moment, the name on his mind wasn't Joanna but Millie. He hoped it was Millie, but he also feared it was her."Think about it carefully before answering my question!" Winston glared at him with an icy stare, his eyes slowly growing more menacing.2823 lowered his head, trembling hands hanging by his legs. He was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. Ever since he had taken Winston captive, he kept a vigilant watch over him. He was in control of the overall situation, so he knew exactly who had been tailing him that day. It was Millie, without a doubt.Millie was just a young woman in her early 20s. However, she bravely followed them to fight alone and risked her own life to save Winston. Although he almost let the ill-fated couple go, the people behind him insisted that Winston must die, leaving him no choice.2823 gritted his teeth, stood up, and confronted Winston. "You're

    The kidnapper lied… But he did it for the sake of his family. He had no other options.…Jeremy texted Joanna, "Ms. Lowell, Winston visited the prison today." Joanna was at work. Her heart started racing when she saw the message. She replied, "What did he ask?"Jeremy wrote, "Who saved him back then?"Joanna felt overwhelmed momentarily and calmly asked, "What did the man reply?"Jeremy replied, "Don't worry. He said what we told him to say."Joanna felt a pang of guilt. Winston didn't trust her. He was suspicious by nature. Despite telling her he loved her and wanted to marry her, he was secretly investigating if she was the one who saved him.At the same time, Millie pushed open the office door, and Vanessa immediately approached her. "Dr. Caldwell, you spent a lot of money yesterday, didn't you? You're so generous."Millie casually gathered her hair and tied it up. When she noticed Joanna, she replied in a casual tone, "I didn't pay the bill last night."Joanna looked up

His presence exuded elegance and dignity, every movement exuding an air of nobility.Millie knocked on the door and entered. Winston looked up and met Millie's calm gaze."What's up?" The flat and distant tone in her voice served as a constant reminder to Winston that their relationship had come to an end.She showed great determination and dashing elegance when she decided to stop loving him. Still, Winston wondered if Millie was the one who saved him back then.He pointed at the coffee table, and Millie suddenly noticed the divorce agreement lying there. "Millie, I've prepared a new divorce agreement. Taking into account our conversation last night, I'm willing to give you half of my assets."Millie was stunned. She saw the divorce agreement on the coffee table and picked it up. He had already signed it, just li

    Millie quickly left after saying that. The door of the lounge slammed shut, and her hands clenched into fists. She leaned against the door, feeling her heart race. It felt like something was gripping her, causing pain and making it hard to breathe. She tried to convince herself that she had grown indifferent to Winston, that she no longer loved him. But deep down, she knew it was all a lie.When he brought up divorce again, her heart faltered. Eventually, they still ended up getting divorced.Millie continued to pant, trying to compose herself. Unbeknownst to her, a tear slid down from the corner of her eye. Millie wanted to immerse herself in work right away. She aimed to occupy her time so that she could avoid feeling overwhelming sadness.In the lounge, Winston tightly gripped the divorce agreement.

    "Your ID," He turned around and reminded Millie. Then, Millie placed her documents on the table.The official glanced up and asked, "Are you both sure about getting divorced? There's nothing you two can't work out by staying together. In fact—""We've made up our minds," Millie interrupted. There was a significant issue between them that they couldn't overcome—he didn't love her. Winston remained silent, his gaze fixed on the official. His demeanor was cold and unapproachable, and he seemed even more fierce with his icy expression.The official went straight to the point and reminded them, "Please be aware that there's a mandatory one-month cooling-off period for divorce. Even if you choose to proceed with your application today, it will not result in an immediate divorce. You will be required to return after one month.""Okay," they replied in unison. Millie thought that this was the time they were most in sync. The official gazed at the two of them for a moment. She seemed as

    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.

    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

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.
