"Winston Greer? Why are you here?" Terrence answered the door, much to Winston's surprise.Winston had assumed that Millie was in Simon's company. Therefore, Terrence's presence was unexpected. He wondered if Millie was introducing Simon to her parents.Terrence scanned Winston from head to toe. Then, he turned to Millie. "Did you invite Winston over?""No, she didn't," Winston interjected. "I came on my own." With that, he walked around Terrance and entered the private room.Terrence was caught off guard by Winston's lack of manners. In the past, Winston had always shown him and Julia respect despite his dislike of Millie. Today, he clearly didn't bother with it.Winston realized that only Julia and Millie were in the room. The ladies seemed puzzled by Winston's presence and rose from their seats. Millie furrowed her brow in confusion.Winston seemed troubled.A thought hit Millie. She blurted out, "Are you here to catch me in the act?"Julia and Terrence exchanged looks. Th

However, Winston's attention was on Thomas. He mused, "Does this mean Millie has been spending time with Thomas, not Simon, over the last few days? Was Thomas the guy who called her 'Mills' at the Grand Santiago Hotel?"It was public knowledge that Arthur Caldwell had two sons. The eldest, Terrence, was an astute businessman. The younger, Thomas, wasn't expected to be of much use as he was brazen and rebellious. Defying expectations, Thomas went on to build his entertainment empire, running a company that was home to many talented and popular A- and B-listers.Arthur and Layla had Thomas late in their life; thus, Arthur doted on him. Due to his outgoing and lively personality, Thomas was like a friend of the same age as Millie.Thomas had always tried to talk Millie into joining the entertainment industry, but she insisted on living a boring home life with Winston.Therefore, he was taken aback when he learned about their imminent divorce. At one point, he even assumed Millie was

"By the way, I heard you were bidding for that parcel of land by the airport," Thomas addressed Winston after taking a sip of wine.Winston nodded curtly. "Yes."Curious, Thomas prodded, "What for?""I plan to build a manor," Winston replied matter-of-factly.Millie stole a quick glance at him. Looking disappointed, she lowered her head and took a sip of water. The rumors about Winston spending a fortune to build Joanna a manor were true, then.Once again, she sighed at the depth of Winston's love for Joanna. His love was reserved for two—himself and Joanna."What makes you think of building a manor by the airport?" Thomas sounded surprised.Winston couldn't help but look at Millie. She knew he was hesitant to hurt her with the truth, and she, too, would not want to hear the words from his mouth."Uncle Thomas, stop asking." She placed her cup on the table and checked the time before saying to Winston, "Winston Greer, come with me." With that, she left the room.Winston excu

Millie's lashes trembled. She was overcome with emotions.Staring at her, Winston chided her in a guttural voice, "Don't ever say that out of spite. Did you think I'd believe in that?""I don't care if you believe it or not. I'm speaking the truth," she replied, sighing.Then, she said in an airy tone, "Uncle Thomas gets along well with people; a little too well, in fact. Just ignore him if he asks you for a favor. He won't be mad at you. I'll update him about our relationship later."Winston frowned while Millie addressed him expressionlessly. He was incredibly irritated by the situation. She didn't appear to be joking. She had changed for good, and she was no longer his. He had once warned her not to trouble him. Now, he might get what he wished for.She checked the time and turned to him. "It's getting late. You should head home now.""Millie…" Winston called out to her faintly.She gazed at him and said tenderly, "Please stay out of my business, just like how I stay out

"Millie, do you not find yourself hypocritical for lying to yourself over and over?" Winston grabbed Millie's arm and fixed a sharp gaze on her.He refused to believe that the woman who was once loyal to him had now fallen in love with another man. His heart raced uncontrollably, perhaps from the bruised ego or the influence of alcohol. In contrast, Millie remained poised. She smiled tenderly. "Winston Greer, what exactly do you want?"He strengthened his grip on her arm. She maintained a smile. "Is it not your dream to finally let go of me?"He swallowed hard. The look in his eyes darkened. Right! That was what he had wanted all along.However, he was confused by his frustration when Millie stopped caring about him."Are you worried I might pester you like before?" she asked, meeting his eyes with a pained heart.Eyes flickering with mixed emotions, Winston was momentarily at a loss for words. His silence weighed heavily on her.Millie knew it. He was afraid that she'd clin

Millie's tiny waist was something to behold. Her curves swayed as she strutted; it was eye-catching."Hey, isn't she Millie Caldwell?""She is as pretty as the A-listers.""Thomas, will I ever see the day when you get her to enter the industry?"The guests gossiped and joked at Thomas and Millie.Thomas shot them a playful glare. Holding Millie's hand, he addressed everyone, "I don't think we need an introduction here."The guests laughed raucously. "Of course! Everyone knows Millie Caldwell."Millie smiled warmly at them. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for crashing your party last minute.""Don't fret about it. Let's take a seat!" One of the producers pointed at the table, motioning Millie to sit.She nodded and settled into her seat alongside Thomas.Thomas and the producers had a discussion about the preparation for a period drama. As a company owner, Thomas attempted to win the female lead role for the artist under his company.The guests at the dinner were renowned fi

Gideon chugged the glass of vodka before Millie could finish. Smiling at her, he asked, "Have I proven my sincerity?"Arching an eyebrow, she smiled. "You have. I appreciate that, Mr. Anderson. I'll take a drink!" She raised her glass and gracefully downed the contents.Millie was no stranger to drinking culture. Besides, she wouldn't want to humiliate Thomas at a dinner he hosted.She was never a sore loser. She wouldn't foolishly cause a scene over something as insignificant as drinking and upset everyone.Thomas reminded Gideon, "Mr. Anderson, we have to talk business later. You should pace yourself."Gideon waved at him. "I know my limits."Millie also shot Thomas a reassuring look. Just like Gideon, she knew her limits."Good." Thomas nodded and cast a worried look at her."Mr. Anderson, what's your role in this project?" Millie enthusiastically engaged Gideon in conversation, and he chatted nonstop with her.During the conversation, they had a few more drinks. Most of th

Millie found it hard to believe that some people were kept in the dark about her marriage. She shuddered to imagine how Winston had been introducing himself to others. Did he describe himself as a bachelor?"Mr. Anderson, do you think my husband's support is enough if I were to join the entertainment industry?" she taunted Gideon.He smiled stiffly. Of course, Winston could afford to back her up. There was only one problem…He prodded cautiously, "Isn't his wife Joanna Lowell?"Millie's heart dropped, and the smile vanished from her face. Arching an eyebrow, she downed the alcohol in her glass and replied flatly, "Mr. Anderson, I suggest you read actual news instead of tabloid gossip."Gideon shot her a scrutinizing look before leaving in shame.When Thomas came over to check on Millie, she was drinking alone."What are you doing? Trying to get yourself drunk?" He snatched away a glass of alcohol, which she was about to drink.Sighing, she snatched it back. "Leave me alone.""

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
