She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 18
Millie showed up at the courthouse with the necessary documents and waited for Winston. Her thoughts wandered back to the day they registered their marriage three years ago. There was a heavy downpour in Yerwick. Winston said he'd be late because he was busy with work. Later, he suggested rescheduling due to the heavy rain.That day, she stood at the courthouse entrance alone, watching the rain subside and resume. It wasn't until the end of business hours that Winston showed up.During the wait, she watched the sweet, smiling young couples entering and leaving. She couldn't help but sigh. If he truly loved her, he would have shown up even if it were raining, not to mention it was the day of their marriage registration. He certainly did not love her and didn't care about marrying her.Back to the present, Millie paced the area out of boredom. The clock struck 9:00 am. She looked up, but Winston was absent. So, she texted him, "Mr. Greer, I can't believe you can be tardy."He did n

Millie collected herself. While holding Selma, she gently replied, "Grandma, those are just baseless rumors. Don't put too much weight on these rumors."There was no way she'd admit to getting a divorce in front of Selma. If Selma interfered with the proceedings, Winston would never get to marry his true love. Millie wasn't about to live under his resentment forever."How could I be getting a divorce when I'm dressed in this lovely dress today?" Millie swirled in the dress that accentuated her slender figure. Winston breathed a sigh of relief, though doubt lingered in his mind.Selma, busy with her birthday party preparations, had suddenly dropped by the villa on the day of his supposed divorce. Did Millie leak the news to Selma because she refused to divorce?He furrowed his brows, the thought weighing his mind."I don't believe it. Where there's smoke, there's fire. The two of you must have brought up getting a divorce!" Selma refused to believe that the rumors were unfounded.

Winston's brows twisted into a frown. He gazed calmly at Millie as if he agreed that she was a shameless and manipulative woman.Anger and bitterness brewed deep within Millie. She no longer cared what Winston thought of her. Still, she felt like a fool because the latter kept questioning her. With a bitter smile, she snarled, "Why don't we just tell your grandma about our divorce if you think I'm that despicable?" "You wouldn't dare!" Winston stomped forward. He could tell from Selma's actions that she cared a lot about Winston and Millie's marriage. It would only cause Selma more trouble if they told her they wanted to get divorced now. Winston refused to make any mistakes before Selma's birthday celebration.Millie chuckled. "Why wouldn't I dare? Winston, get one thing clear. Selma is your biological grandmother, not mine!"She had only refrained from telling Selma about it because Selma treated her well. Millie didn't want Selma to fall ill if she told the latter about the divor

Terrence never raised his voice at Millie, but today, he was extra harsh on her.Millie's family seemed distressed upon realizing she failed to get divorced."Dad, can I not go? I swear to you guys I'll divorce Winston for sure." Millie reeled in her stubbornness.Terrence didn't answer, which meant it was a definite no."But won't my date mind it if I haven't gotten divorced yet?" Millie pouted."He won't!" Terrence's response came with an unwavering confidence.Millie's lips tugged into a thin line. She wondered if her blind date was as dimwitted as Henry for willingly taking her on a date, even after knowing her husband was Winston. Whoever that man was must've lost his mind."Millie, you know this man, and he admires a lot. You two complement each other well. Can't you do as I say just this once?" Terrence's tone softened slightly.Upon hearing Terrence ask her to comply with this once, Millie realized she had been a poorly behaved child all this while. After all, what Terr

Millie arrived at Purple Aster Restaurant for her blind date the next evening.Millie crossed her arms over her chest. She stood before the window and gazed at the scenery. She wore a sexy white one-shoulder dress. "Ms. Caldwell?" A man's voice rang out from behind. It sounded a little familiar.Millie's eyes rounded when she turned and saw who it was. Shock filled her face as she asked, "Mr. Harrison?"She couldn't believe her blind date was Simon Harrison. It was no wonder Terrence got all emotional the other night when she told him she had saved Patrick's life.Simon's lips curved into a soft smile as he carried himself with gentleness and elegance. "Yep, it's me."He politely pulled out Millie's chair before motioning her to sit.Millie's shocked gaze remained on him."Are you that surprised?" Simon shifted nervously upon being stared at by her. He was a little older than Millie, so the latter was still a young lady in his eyes.Now that he saw her up close, he realized s

Millie noticed the solemn expression on Winston's face after listening to Joanna's words. Suddenly, a thought came to her.With a smile, Millie walked over to Simon and linked her arm with his. She looked up at Simon with her enchanting eyes and asked, "Mr. Harrison, since Ms. Lowell thinks we'd make a good couple, should we try to go on a date?"Simon narrowed his eyes at Winston and Joanna. Winston looked completely dejected. Suddenly, Simon seemed to understand where Millie was coming from and he went along.He put his arm around Millie's slender waist and pulled her close. "Ms. Caldwell, are you saying you agree to let me date you?" His deep voice sounded as beautiful as a cello.Millie nodded. She looked flirtatious and charming as she fiddled with Simon's tie.A smile spread across Simon's face. He deliberately leaned close to Millie's ear and whispered, "I'm greatly honored."Simon glanced up at Winston, who had become extremely grim. There seemed to be countless blades hi

Julia was busy preparing for the Harrisons' arrival."The Harrisons are coming over for their first visit, Mills. Why are you dressed like that?""Vera, we need more fruits! The fruits aren't enough.""Mills, hurry up and change. Those jeans aren't suitable. Put on a dress!""Listen to your mother." Terrence nudged Millie, who was wearing only a white shirt and jeans, to change her clothes. He didn't think her outfit was right for the occasion.Millie looked at herself in the mirror with a frown. She couldn't understand why her outfit was considered inappropriate. In her eyes, she looked great no matter what she wore.As Millie was about to go upstairs to change, a voice came from the door. "Madam Julia, the Harrisons are here!"Julia hurriedly took Millie by the arm and led her out of the house. "There's no time to change. They're already here."Millie was surprised. Terrence and Julia usually weren't so anxious about welcoming guests. It seemed like the Harrisons' visit was p

"Please, let me show my gratitude!" Patrick insisted."Well... if we don't have any other plans, how about going golfing?" Terrence suggested abruptly.Patrick quickly nodded. "Sounds great! Mills, do you play golf?"Millie shook her head. She was talented in many things but golf wasn't one of them. Learning to play golf took patience, and she had none of that, except when she was trying to date Winston.Patrick was delighted to learn that Millie couldn't play golf. "Perfect! Simon's a great golfer! You should let him teach you!"With a nod to Millie, Simon responded, "If you're up for it."Millie saw how happy Terrence was. She didn't want to disappoint him, so she agreed.The biggest golf course in Yerwick City was located on the outskirts of town. Simon drove them there. During the journey, Terrence and Patrick talked fondly about old times and had a nice conversation. Millie sat in the front seat, occasionally snacking and chatting with Simon.There were numerous luxury c

The man was wearing a loose sweatshirt with black pants. On top of that, he wore a long padded coat. His tall stature made him stand out among the other students. He looked even more like a student because of his outfit.Millie was a bit surprised when the person happened to look up in her direction. The two of them stood gazing at each other from across a wide asphalt road.Millie walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"Winston pressed his lips together and didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her, "Why are you here so late?""I asked you first." Millie looked up at him, determined to get an answer."Just trying to revisit some memories," he said calmly. He ran a hand through his hair before putting both hands in his pockets.Millie hummed in acknowledgment."What about you? You're not from the University of Yerwick, are you?" he laughed.Millie looked at him with a calm expression, as if nothing could really stir her interest."I have quite a few memories

Millie felt guilty, squeezing the orange in her hand so hard it was almost about to burst. She mumbled softly, "I mean, is it alright that Winston also came to the Spring Festival?"Layla placed the items on the table, then sat down on the couch and asked, "Why? Doesn't he have a home to go to?"Millie hesitated. That was a tricky question to answer."Got kicked out by the Greer family?" She eyed Millie with an intense gaze that was overwhelming and quite fierce.Millie didn't dare speak, but she still had to answer, "No."Layla gave a cold smile and immediately asked, "So why isn't he going back to his own home for New Year's Day and instead coming to ours? Is he crazy?""Grandma, he…" Millie wanted to explain."I don't agree," Layla stated flatly, dismissing any further explanations.Millie choked up and quietly looked over at Arthur.Arthur's expression grew more serious, as if he agreed with what Layla had said, and he turned his attention to the television."You're not e

Winston could sense that Millie was helping him to look better in front of the elders.Millie's demeanor remained as gentle as ever.The more he pursued her, the more he felt unworthy of her. She was really too outstanding.It was true that with some people, the more one got to know them, the more one would fall in love with them.Meanwhile, some others became less noteworthy as more people got to know them.Winston sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Millie."He felt grateful regardless of whether she was willing to give herself another chance or if she once loved him.Millie looked down and said, "No need to thank me. I'm giving you a chance, but it's also a chance for myself.""Winston, even if I'm not with you, I won't love anyone else again."One painful experience of love was more than enough for her.Winston chuckled softly and said with a deep voice, "That's my fault. Regardless of whether we end up together in the future or not, Millie, don't turn down som

"Are you complimenting me?" Winston suddenly felt like he turned into a fool in front of Millie.He couldn't understand what she said anymore, whether it was good or bad things. All he knew was that Millie was in front of him, and simply seeing her made him feel content.Millie could tell that Winston didn't seem to be in his right mind today. She wouldn't tease him anymore, then.Soon, an attendant served the food.The sound of the cello gently filled the room, and it sounded quite pleasant. It was a rare quiet night, and Millie had been tired recently. It was quite nice to suddenly enjoy this gentle moment.Millie was about to slice into some foie gras when Winston handed over a small piece of steak. "Try it. It's delicious," he said.Millie looked at Winston. He didn't make a move and just stared at her as she started eating.Millie pressed her lips together, not feeling her spirits dampen at all.The steak he gave did taste quite good.Winston noticed she enjoyed it, so he

Eli nodded and said, "Okay."Winston asked him, "How's the matter I told you to handle?""Don't worry, Mr. Greer. We'll definitely get the bag that Ms. Caldwell likes," Eli replied with a smile.Millie couldn't help but feel sorry for Eli. It seemed that Eli really had a hard time.The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat quiet.Eli wanted the couple to talk a bit more, so he started a conversation by asking, "Ms. Caldwell, did Madam Layla and Mr. Caldwell senior give Mr. Greer a hard time?"Millie looked up and casually said, "Not really. My grandpa is in a good mood."Winston was shocked. "Huh? He was in a good mood?"How nice of them! They immediately kicked him out!"Does that mean Madam Layla isn't in a good mood?" Eli smiled.Millie quickly shook her head and said, "No, my grandmother was really polite and even told Winston to say less."Winston was speechless. Millie managed to make something unpleasant sound quite nice.She was quite good at keeping her reputation

Winston was genuinely flustered. He probably never got this nervous, even when he was discussing deals worth billions of dollars.Millie poured him some coffee, gesturing for him to drink some water as well and to calm down a bit.Winston held his coffee cup and hesitated for a moment without taking a sip. He turned to Millie and asked, "Is there any hope for me?"Millie chuckled.Winston was actually a pretty interesting person when he was not being a jerk.Was there any hope for him?"I don't know," Millie said, shaking her head deliberately.A trace of frustration was evident in Winston's deep-set eyes. What did Millie mean by that?"Could you please say some nice things about me in front of Mr. Caldwell Senior and Madam Layla?" he asked as he sighed, feeling quite wistful.Millie looked down and said, "What good are nice words? Back when I insisted on marrying you, didn't Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Greer Senior also put in a good word for me?"He still was not listening to anyth

Layla hummed softly to herself as she picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee."Mr. Caldwell Senior. Madam Layla. I'm sorry I'm only visiting you today." Winston started off with a very formal tone.Millie could really sense the disharmony between Winston and her grandparents."There's no need to apologize. We don't have any special relationship. Even if you don't come to see us, we won't say anything about it," Layla muttered.Winston choked up. She wasn't wrong."After I married Millie, I didn't visit you two. That was my mistake," Winston admitted.Layla, upon hearing that, set her cup down on the table with a sudden motion. He dared to talk about that matter? How dare he?Winston suddenly found himself unable to speak.Millie felt frustrated. Winston was really quite brave. He even dared to bring up the topic of marriage.It was a relief that Layla only set the cup down and didn't tell him to leave.It was clear that Layla was holding back her anger.The atmosphere su

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Winston asked, his expression becoming serious.Millie shrugged, indicating she didn't mean anything by it.However, anyone with a keen eye could tell that she was trying to provoke him.Eli was quietly laughing to himself in the back.He felt relieved to see that the relationship between the two of them had thawed to the point where they could joke around like that.It seems that Winston wasn't deserving of death and still had a chance to save himself."I'm not using reverse psychology; think about it. Do you actually want to come in or not?" Millie shrugged and stood aside, inviting him in.Of course, Winston had to go in. There was no backing out at the last moment. Millie would never let him live it down if he did."I'm going!" he said firmly.Millie chuckled. "There's no chance of escaping now.""Just one thing," Winston said with a hint of pleading in his voice.Millie squinted at him with confusion,"When I can't handle it, please help

Millie felt embarrassed by her slipup."It's really hard to see you even once," Winston complained. Yesterday, he even went to the research lab, but the staff there said she was out on some work.Millie walked with her head down, staring at the ground.Amidst the quiet, she suddenly heard Winston ask, "When are you coming back?""I want to spend more time with my grandparents."Winston was silent for a few seconds.Then, as if he had made a decision, he said, "Then I'll come to see you and also visit your grandparents."Millie looked up with surprise."Why would you? Aren't you worried they'll just criticize you? It'll just be awkward if both of them confront you." Millie was still somewhat hesitant.Then, he asked, "Haven't I been embarrassed enough in front of you?""No… I…"Millie was at a loss for words.Her malice toward Winston was the greatest in the world, but others at least showed him a bit of courtesy.Millie definitely wouldn't do that."I'm on my way," he sai
