By referring to Joanna as a guest, Selma had made it clear that she would never marry into the Greer family. In an instant, Joanna's face fell.Millie's lips curled into a faint smile and continued eating with peace of mind. With Selma backing her up, there was no need for her to deal with Joanna. "Ms. Lowell, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Come, join us," Selma offered, waving at Joanna.Joanna was somewhat surprised that Selma invited her to join them for dinner. She wasn't about to refuse because she wouldn't miss any chance to win Selma's favor, even if it meant sitting at the same table as Millie. The atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense. Millie reached for a crab leg just as Joanna did the same. She quickly retracted her hand, and the latter followed suit with an awkward smile.Joanna glanced cautiously at Winston. It seemed like she was waiting for him to crack the crab for her. Selma narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately saw through Joanna's scheme.

"Grandma, that's enough!" Winston shot up from his seat and intimidated the people around the dining table with his stern and frigid tone.That earned him a glare from Selma. "Why? Are you speaking up for that seductive bitch?""Watch your language," he said softly, attempting to communicate with Selma.Narrowing her eyes, she challenged him, "I can be meaner than that. Try me.""Grandma!" He frowned, his patience wearing thin.Slamming her fist on the table, she stood up and warned him, "Winston Greer, remember, you're a married man!""But Millie and I have no feelings for each other." He frowned, as he was initially unwilling to state that aloud in Millie's presence.Meanwhile, Millie seemed unfazed at his remark.However, the couple's feelings were the least of Selma's concerns. Pointing at Joanna, she stared squarely at Winston. "You can marry her over my dead body."Selma and Winston were trapped in a staring match. He was confused by his family's staunch rejection of Joa

Just like Joanna, all Millie wanted was to love Winston and be with him. What had she done wrong?It had been a terrible three years.She listened as Winston coaxed Joanna in a gentle tone that sent a knife through her heart. She turned her head a few times to glance at him.He was so surreal when he acted tenderly. Lowering her gaze, she smiled bitterly, thinking, "Hey, Winston Greer, don't forget I'm still in your car."She finally spoke when their car arrived in the downtown area. "Just pull over by the road. I'll get a cab back home."While speaking, she had unbuckled her seatbelt. "Thanks for the ride.""I'll send you home," he said gruffly.She shook her head. "It's fine." She couldn't withstand another second around him; it was simply too suffocating.After he pulled over, she proceeded to leave his car. He called out to her, "Millie.""Yeah?" She looked at him calmly despite the raging storm within."I'm sorry," he croaked.Her lashes trembled. The blood surged whe

The employee frowned with a look of disbelief. She asked Millie, "Are you daydreaming?"No one had ever asked Millie that question. Kelly found Millie's proposal hilarious, and she remarked, "She's surely daydreaming. How can she afford to buy everything?"Scanning the surroundings, she sighed. "Roughly speaking, she'll need at least 10 million to buy everything in the store."Smirking, Kelly turned to Millie, thinking, "I bet she can't even afford to buy a bag. How dare she propose buying all the items in the store?"Hah!Kelly rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. She sneered. "What's wrong with you? Do you need some fresh air?"To pacify Kelly, the store employee said, "Ms. Norton, please wait for me in the VIP room while I get her to leave. After that, I'll show you the new designs in store.""Okay." Kelly nodded with a look of disdain. Why would a poor woman act like a rich lady? Pigs could fly if she could afford to buy everything in the store!"Just when Kelly was abou
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 142
Kelly froze under Millie's intense glare, which made her tremble sheepishly.Smiling, Millie commented emotionlessly, "This store befits Ms. Norton's status, though. Ms. Norton, I hope you frequent the store."Kelly's throat tightened. What did that mean? Was she saying that Kellie only deserved to shop at an unremarkable store? That was a taunt, wasn't it?Snorting, Millie took back her card and left without looking back.…The rain had become heavier. The freezing raindrops pattered on her face, and she sobered up in the cold breeze.She was feeling frustrated. Raising a hand to shield her face, she tried to run into the rain when someone held a black umbrella over her head.She paused and turned around.Her gaze traveled up to the umbrella. An indifferent and hardy gentleman stood there. It was Joanna's brother, Logan.At 26 years old, Logan was the heir of Lowell Group and a strong contender in the business world. He was good-looking, single, decisive, and had an eye for b

The air was fresh after the morning rain. Millie arrived at work munching on her breakfast. She heard a few junior nurses gossiping amongst themselves. "Hey, did you hear? Joanna Lowell attempted suicide last night!""For real?""Yeah! She got warded. Mr. Greer stayed by her side through the night!"Millie slowed down and turned to look at the nurses at the nurse station. Hazel emerged from the nurse station and greeted Millie, "Morning, Dr. Caldwell."Millie questioned, "Did Joanna attempt suicide?"Grunting, Hazel replied, "Indeed, she did. The news has spread."Millie couldn't believe that Joanna would try to take her own life due to Selma's criticisms. After some consideration, she dropped by the inpatient department at the Department of Neurology.Right after she emerged from the elevator, she heard some nurses on duty swooning over Winston. "Oh, Mr. Greer is so hot. I wish I could date a man like him.""It's not just Mr. Greer. Joanna's brother is a snack too! I hea

Logan struggled to judge the relationship between Winston, Millie, and Joanna due to its complicated nature.Joanna grabbed Logan's arm and wailed pitifully, "Logan… Logan…"Sighing, Logan knew that Joanna's feelings were his weakness. He tapped her on the forehead. She said between sobs, "Logan, I really want to marry Winston.""I'll help you," he replied with a sigh. "You're the one and only precious daughter of the family. We'll get you everything you want."Tears fell down her cheeks. Hugging Logan, she whimpered, "Thank you, Logan."…Instead of heading home, Winston dropped by the cardiac surgery department. There, he found Millie looking out the window by the corridor, giving off a hint of loneliness.She sighed deeply and spent some time to collect herself before returning to the office. She turned around only to stare into Winston's deep eyes.He was steps away from her. Placing his hand in his pocket, he appeared exhausted. They stared at each other in silence until

Since they were both adults, Simon couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush. No one would go out of the way to be nice to another if it weren't for ulterior motives.He was forthright about his admiration for Millie, which surprised her. "But I'm not yet divorced," she said stiffly. "I know.""Mr. Harrison, are you seriously going to be a homewrecker for love?" she couldn't help but tease him.The mood lightened. Raising a brow cheekily, he grunted. "Well, that's a possibility."She chortled before looking out of the window. "I do not have plans to date for now."He immediately replied, "I'll just take a number and wait until you're ready."Her heart fluttered. Looking down, she smiled but said nothing. …After dinner, Simon sent her home. Terrence and Julia, who were watching the TV, interrogated her when she got home. "Was it Simon who drove you home?""Yeah." She lay on the couch tiredly.Terrence grunted. He stated, "I saw Winston when I visited your grandpa at

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
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1026
"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
