"We're about to divorce, and I'm ready to move forward. But why does it still hurt so much?" Millie asked with a frown, trying to seek answers from Rachel.

Would Rachel understand the shockwave that swept through her when she witnessed Joanna hugging and acting coyly with Winston?

"Mills, you just need time," Rachel comforted her.

Millie loved Winston so much and would give up everything for him. This kind of affection wasn't something that would fade away overnight.

"But Rach…" Millie's tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably as she said aggrievedly, "He never chose me.

"When Joanna and I fell, he protected her. He said he'd send me home, but he immediately left me alone when she appeared. Whenever Joanna is hurt, he'll blame me."

And yet, why couldn't she let go?

Millie was devastated and continued to pour out her pain like a child to Rachel.

"It hurts so bad."

Falling in love with Winston had been incredibly painful. If Millie could turn back time, she genuinely

    Millie frowned, her delicate features contorting in distress. "Millie, you've had too much to drink," the man remarked. His voice was clear, yet it carried a hint of nonchalance.Millie was in a daze. She looked up and attempted to discern the man's face. But her smudged makeup, fallen lashes, and the dim lighting made it impossible to see clearly.Everything was blurry. Just like his feelings for her, they had never been clear.A mix of emotions crossed Winston's face as he looked at the dark circles under Millie's eyes. How had she ended up in such a state?"Let me take you home," Winston said. He then grabbed her wrist and intended to lead her out of the dance floor. But Millie pushed his hand away, shaking her head. "No! I'm not done yet!""You've had too much to drink!" Winston chided with a scowl. At last, his voice carried a hint of emotion."I haven't! I'm perfectly sober!" Millie bellowed.Upon hearing those words, Winston's expression turned cold. He watched as Mil

    Winston had never shown Millie any respect. So, why was he acting like some model husband now? As for Jake, Rachel thought he was like a sheep in wolf's clothing. Neither of them were decent men!"Piss off!" Rachel shoved Jake aside, her temper flaring.Jake was momentarily stunned. "Ms. Shaw, you don't act like this online."The legendary Rachel Shaw was beautiful and kind. But she didn't seem like a good-natured person now. In fact, she was like a ticking time bomb."You said it yourself. That's my online persona!" Rachel bluntly retorted. Jake was rendered speechless. On second thought, he thought she made sense. Celebrities were different on and off stage. "Ms. Shaw, where do you live? I'll give you a ride home," Jake offered with a mischievous grin.Rachel was irritated and snapped, "I'm perfectly capable of going home on my own. Do I really need you to take me there?""I have to obey Winston's orders. Besides, you're a friend of his wife. I need to make sure you get h

    "As someone in the service industry, you must be polite and respectful. What's with the cursing? Ugh—" Millie brushed her hair back, berating Winston while throwing up.Despite feeling nauseous, she still found the energy to lecture him on service etiquette. Winston couldn't help but think she was juggling a lot. Millie was in such discomfort that she couldn't be bothered with him for a moment. Her hair kept falling into her face, thoroughly irritating her. Before long, she found herself losing her temper."Damn it! I'm going to cut you off tomorrow!"Winston inexplicably chuckled at her antics as he observed her. He sighed before approaching her.Then, he gathered her hair away from her face and patiently held it. Millie looked up with reddened eyes."Even the most unremarkable person can become someone exceptional. You'd make a perfect gigolo," Millie praised Winston.Winston's heart thudded with exasperation. What did she mean by that?"Keep quiet and puke!" He lightly tapp

    Winston leaned closer to Millie, intending to help her fasten her seatbelt. However, as he drew near, she grabbed his necktie.Winston froze momentarily as her inscrutable face appeared before him. He couldn't tell if she was beautiful or ugly. She had dark circles, yet her reddened doe eyes evoked a sense of vulnerability. Winston pressed his lips together and heard her ask suggestively, "Are you really not attracted to me?"Upon hearing those words, his gaze slowly descended from her eyes to her red lips. Glancing downward, he realized Millie's recent choice of attire was daring, with minimal fabric to conceal her figure. Winston gulped nervously. For some reason, he moved closer to her lips.Time seemed to come to a standstill. But just as he was about to kiss Millie, Joanna's face flashed in his mind. Winston abruptly stopped and suddenly turned his head away.Millie's lips landed on his neck. They were soft and cool, carrying a temptation that was impossible to resist.

    The tension in the car was palpable. Millie's fingernail accidentally grazed Winston's neck, leaving a clear scratch. Just as her clothes were about to be ripped open, the loud ringing of Winston's phone pierced the silence of the car. He froze, with his fingers still lingering on Millie's bra clasp. The ringtone was so sharp that it brought them back to reality. Millie looked up, and her bloodshot eyes locked onto Winston's. They were filled with suppressed and inscrutable emotions. Pressing her lips together, she could taste the metallic tang of blood.She saw the caller ID on his phone screen—Jo. It was Joanna calling.She frowned as her mind gradually became clearer. She couldn't help but tease Winston, "So, are we having an affair?"Winston paused momentarily before glancing sideways at her. He then sneered, "We're married.""That means you and Joanna are having an affair, right?" Millie stared at him while mercilessly pointing out his behavior with Joanna.He didn't de

    Millie pouted. Although she missed the beginning of the conversation, she knew Terrence was criticizing her.She had returned home drunk the previous night, so she knew her parents had to take care of her every need.Millie soon entered the living room. Terrence scoffed the moment he spotted her. Once he was certain she was fine, he grabbed his briefcase and headed to work."Drive safely, Dad!" Millie reminded, trying to appease him. Yet, Terrence didn't even glance back. She pouted and turned to look at Julia, who frowned. "Mills, focus on your work. Why did you drink so much? Here, I've prepared a hangover cure for you. Take it and hurry to work!" Julia instructed.Millie obediently nodded. "Got it, Mom."Julia let out another sigh as she lightly tapped Millie's head. After that, she went off to work.Lying on the couch, Millie felt disoriented and grappled with emotions she couldn't put into words. Suddenly, she thought of Gideon's greedy and disgusting face from the day bef

    For the entire morning, Millie focused on learning. It was indeed like what Lainey had said. There were different kinds of patients.Some of them had tears in their eyes as they begged Lainey to save them, while others knitted their brows, displaying stubborn disbelief.However, what was more infuriating than the patients were their families. Like the one before them now."What kind of illness does she have? Why is it costing me so much money? I can't afford any more treatments for her! Tell me straight, can you actually cure her?"In front of them was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes. Kane Olsen appeared to be in his 50s and exuded an indescribable vulgarity. Sitting beside him was Cara Turner, a woman in her 30s. She was fair and beautiful yet evidently meek. "Doctor, I want to know… if there's still a chance to cure my condition." Her voice was exceptionally soft. It was as if her words could vanish with the wind."You can't even bear a child! What's the point of treat

    When Lainey first started working at the outpatient clinic, she encountered a couple like that. She felt sorry for the woman and decided to help her.However, when the man found out, he immediately latched onto Lainey. He went as far as to extort her into buying cars and a house for them. He even wanted her to support them for the rest of their lives.The man even justified his actions by claiming that Lainey was wealthy, insisting that she should uphold her good intentions to the end.Since then, Lainey had grown wary of such manipulative individuals."I understand, Dr. Quinn," Millie replied earnestly."That's all for now. It's time for your lunch break."After saying that, Lainey removed her glasses and massaged her temples. She appeared visibly exhausted.Millie approached her and offered, "Dr. Quinn, let me give you a massage."Initially, Lainey wanted to refuse. But Millie's massage was unexpectedly pleasant, and it made her unwilling to say no. What had earned her the

    Layla said, "Even though it's soon New Year's and everyone is busy, try to be a bit more gentle! We're all elderly people here, so what's wrong with being patient?"Since you're in the service industry, you should maintain a proper attitude. If you can't even speak politely, then you shouldn't be in this line of work. I suggest you close up shop for good!"Winston squinted. That voice sounded very familiar. It seemed like Layla's voice.He quickly walked over and saw that Arthur was helping an elderly gentleman up while Layla was engaged in a debate with a young female shopkeeper."How I run my store is my business. If you want to buy something, go ahead. If not, just leave. I don't need you to tell me how to run my life!" The store owner glared at Layla while speaking with a very unfriendly tone, their voice sharp and cutting.Layla was exasperated and asked, "Don't you understand the saying that the customer is king?""What about the damn king? Just go away," the lady grumbled,

    Layla said, "Look, you're really persistent, aren't you? I don't like you. Do you need me to spell it out for you?""Grandma, I want to pursue Mills. Since I want to be with Mills, I need to have everyone's approval. Right now, I'm trying hard to make everyone like me. It's part of the process that you might dislike me at first, but I can't just give up because of that. How else would I pursue Mills?" Winston said clearly.As expected of a businessman, his negotiation style was very serious and precise. Despite his gentle tone, there was still a strong sense of pressure in his eyes and demeanor.Layla moved her lips slightly. She didn't know how to get Winston to leave, so she shouted, "I don't care! Just stop bothering us here!"Winston furrowed his brows.Layla then asked Arthur to pull the cart himself.Ding! Winston's phone rang out.Arthur took the cart and quickly left with Layla.Winston stood still, watching the couple walk away, and couldn't help but sigh. The call on

    "Grandpa, are you okay?" Winston finally had a moment to ask how he was doing.Arthur nodded. His demeanor toward Winston seemed a bit more gentle than before.Layla sighed. "There's too many people. Let's all slow down a bit.""Okay," Arthur said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine.""You're getting older, and a fall could be life-threatening," Layla said anxiously, holding onto Arthur's arm tightly. "Hold onto me, alright?""If I hold onto you, I'll end up pulling you down as well if I fall!" Arthur grumbled.Layla said, "I don't care. Just hold onto me.""Okay, I'll hold on to you," Arthur relented.Winston was quietly following them from behind and couldn't help but smile himself. This was pretty nice.Who wouldn't envy a relationship that stayed this loving and affectionate all the way until old age?"Should we buy some candy?" Layla said, pointing at the candy in front of them.Arthur said, "Okay."Whatever she wanted, he would agree. The two of them acted both harmo

    "She's been hurt so badly, almost losing her life, yet he said she's fortunate. Clearly, he's the fortunate one! If he leaves our Mills, where else is he going to find a girl as wonderful and sweet as her?"Arthur nodded in agreement, playing along like a sidekick. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying!"He spoke a bit louder than usual, clearly aiming his words at Winston.Of course, Winston surely understood what they were thinking.He nodded. "Grandma is right. It was definitely me aiming too high. So if I get another chance, I will definitely treat Millie well.""Hmph! Men are all talk!" Layla had long seen through Winston's ways.Winston was at a loss for words.It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the supermarket.There were a lot of people present because of New Year's Day shopping.After Layla got sick once, her health had significantly worsened. Additionally, with one of her hands not working well, she appeared a bit flustered when she and Arthur entered the superm

    "Dear, could you give me a hand?" Layla asked. "Oh no, why is this step so slippery?"The next day, Winston sat in his car, watching as the elderly couple came out of the Caldwell residence.Arthur held the shopping cart in his hand, and the two of them were all geared up, ready to go out shopping.Winston got out of the car. The elderly couple happened to see Winston at that moment.Arthur and Layla exchanged glances. Layla spoke up first. "Mills is not here!""I understand. I'm not looking for Mills." Winston approached and stopped in front of them. "Grandma, Mills should have mentioned it to you. I was thinking of spending the Spring Festival with you and her."Layla reacted as if she had just heard a joke, saying bluntly, "When you were married, we never saw you spend the Spring Festival with her. "Now that you two have nothing to do with each other, why are you coming to spend the Spring Festival with her? She has family; she doesn't need you to spend the Spring Festival w

    Even though Winston wasn't eating, he was really good at paying and carrying things.Millie felt a strong sense of nostalgia for her own college days as she watched the university students eating.She wished she could go back to high school or maybe even college.She had seen many novels where the main female character went back to high school, and in each of these stories, she no longer loved the male lead when she returned back in time.If she went back to high school…"What are you thinking about? You're about to walk into the wall." Winston interrupted Millie's thoughts and pulled her closer to him.Millie really had almost bumped into a wall."Nothing." She smiled at Winston.Winston raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.The light from the food trucks shone on him and cast an indescribable sense of fate about him.He didn't belong here. Millie felt an increasingly strong urge to take him out of the scene immediately.Millie felt that if she went back to high school

    "Hey, young lady, would you like to try some beef organs?" a vendor selling snacks asked Millie while preparing the food. "You're such a pretty girl, and your boyfriend is quite handsome too!"Millie and Winston exchanged a glance.Millie shook her head and was about to say she didn't want any.But Winston simply said, "I'll take two."Millie gave Winston a questioning look.Winston said to her, "I wasn't planning on buying it either, but she called me your boyfriend. With her having such good taste, shouldn't I buy two to show some support?"The vendor laughed heartily.Millie pressed her lips together and moved her mouth slightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The vendor said, "It seems like I was right. If I had mentioned the word husband, then would you have bought out my whole car?"Winston nodded. "I'm considering it. However, I don't think she'd approve."The vendor laughed heartily and said, "You all look unfamiliar, so you probably aren't from the school

    Millie was the type of person who stood firm on what she wanted, regardless of who was around. No setbacks or hardships could affect her.Winston thought about this and felt even more heartache for Millie. He was the one who turned the brave and passionate girl, someone who never cared about what others thought, into the cold person she was now.He felt that loving someone was akin to taking care of a flower. He had watched as a beautiful tulip transformed into a rose covered in thorns."Winston?"He heard Millie's voice close by.Winston turned his head and saw Millie frowning. "What are you thinking about? Let's go?""Not going to watch for a bit longer?" he asked."I've seen this fountain so many times. What's so special about it?" Millie remarked with a clear voice, glancing at the fountain.Winston smiled but didn't say anything.In the past, every time she was there, she would always use excuses like "I haven't seen enough" or "Let's watch the fountain a little longer" t

    "Hey there, could you help me take a picture?" Millie was looking around when someone suddenly called out to her.Millie turned around to see a tall boy holding a camera. Behind him, there was a girl waiting.Millie nodded and was about to take the camera to help with taking a picture.Winston suddenly asked, "Can I help""Huh?" The boy paused. He looked at both of them and then said with a smile, "Alright then…"However, he was clearly hesitant.Millie chuckled and said, "Let me handle it. I might be a bit more skilled than Mr. Greer is."Winston shrugged and didn't say anything else.Millie stepped forward with a camera in her hand. The two students stood next to each other. They maintained an appropriate distance, suggesting they weren't close. The girl wore a dress layered with a coat, which made her look stylish.Millie observed the two individuals. She could tell that the boy had feelings for the girl, for he was being very cautious.The girl was smiling sweetly at the
