Chapter 253

Author: Gina Cinq
Winston's eyes lingered on Millie's name, his gaze betraying complex emotions.

When he lifted his head to look at her, it seemed like a barrier had risen between them. Right then, no matter how Winston studied Millie, he couldn't seem to understand her.

Winston then took out a pen from his pocket. As he pressed on the divorce application, the air around him grew stifling, threatening to engulf him.

He was clearly the one who wanted a divorce the most. But when the day finally arrived, he felt the least satisfied.

Winston gripped the pen tightly with a frown. After that, he lowered his head and asked, "Millie, have you made up your mind?"

It was as if he was giving Millie a chance, yet also an out.

Winston was waiting for her to express her dissatisfaction and insist that she could make him fall in love with her. But the response he wanted never came.

Millie hummed in agreement and stated firmly, "I've decided."

Winston gulped, and suddenly, an inexplicable surge of fury rose w

    Millie hummed in response as she gathered her hair up and secured it with her sunglasses. Her exquisitely beautiful face was simply too striking.Just as she was about to order the dishes, a thought suddenly crossed her mind. She asked Winston, "Are you paying for this meal, ex-husband?"With one hand pressed to his forehead, Winston answered, "Yes."So, Millie didn't hesitate to order every signature dish on the menu. "Choose something," she uttered while sliding the menu toward Winston. Winston was looking at his phone and replied indifferently, "Didn't you say you were going to order from the kids' menu for me?""I was joking," Millie answered with a grin.Winston glanced at her. "I'm fine with anything."With that, Millie selected a few non-spicy dishes for him and placed the order. Throughout the wait for their food, Winston remained engrossed in his phone.Sitting across from him, Millie kept her eyes fixed on him. Perhaps her gaze was so intense that it caused Winston

    Millie looked into Winston's eyes. Initially, she wanted to tell him that she no longer had the courage to swim because she had saved him. However, upon hearing his response, she chuckled wryly and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.Millie lowered her head and ate in silence, choosing not to say anything more. The dishes were truly spicy. Winston observed her. He sensed that she had something to say, yet she chose to stay quiet.Right then, his phone rang suddenly. As soon as he saw the caller ID, he immediately rejected the call.But with each rejection, she promptly called back. After rejecting it several times, Winston finally set his phone to silent.Millie couldn't help but glance at him again. Then, she recalled the news she had seen on her phone when she went to retrieve her ID card. "Joanna was left alone in the rain on the highway last night."Millie didn't intend to gossip. She was simply passing the time, so she casually asked, "Did you and Joanna fight

    Winston frowned. Did Millie cry here all night long before? The restaurant owner rubbed her chin. After pondering briefly, she exclaimed, "Oh, yes! You're from the School of Medicine, right?"Millie coughed lightly and chuckled. "Ma'am, you must have confused me with someone else. That never happened. It's my first time here."She would never admit that she was the fool who came to the restaurant alone after Winston had stood her up. Back then, Millie had felt utterly devastated because Winston had promised for days to take her out for Cranurian cuisine. She had been looking forward to it. However, when the day finally arrived, one call from Joanna had Winston running off to her. Millie wished she could erase those memories forever. But, ironically, even if she tried to forget, someone would always bring them up.Initially, Winston had been puzzled, wondering if that person was Millie. Yet, as soon as she claimed it was her first visit, he immediately understood. The restaur

    Millie had just taken a bite of buffalo wing when she heard what Winston said. She glared at him and snapped, "No, I didn't!"Winston chuckled. "Millie, do you think I don't understand you?""You know nothing about me!" Millie shot back angrily.The corners of Winston's lips curled into a smirk, and he said nothing more."It's not because of you. Don't flatter yourself. I've been here many times, and sometimes I'll come with Rachel," Millie added, glaring at him. Unfortunately, her explanation only made things worse. "Rachel was from the School of Communication, but it's not nearby."Winston set his cutlery down, having almost finished his meal.Suddenly, Millie felt silly. She wondered why she had come to the restaurant to cry for no reason. "It's because the dishes were too spicy. I wasn't crying," she continued to explain, trying to salvage her dignity.Winston merely smiled faintly and didn't utter a single word. When he checked his phone, he discovered that Joanna had

    At the top of Python Mountain, a lively crowd had gathered in a circle. Millie looked down at the winding forests and asphalt roads below, feeling a surge of excitement."Are you thinking about joining too?" Rachel's voice sounded in her ear.Millie turned to see Rachel dressed in black. Rachel also wore a mask and hat to maintain a low profile."Oh, Rachel, no one knows me like you do!" Millie remarked with a smile. That night, she wore a black crop top and skort. Her curly locks cascaded down her back, and her makeup was perfect. With just a glance, it was clear she was an attractive woman."Then go for it. Just be safe, okay?" Rachel replied, pointing to the nearby registration area.But Millie felt somewhat anxious. "It's been so long since I last raced.""Are you afraid of losing?" Rachel teased.Millie's grin outshone Rachel's. "I'm just worried that these rookies will get disheartened if they lose to someone who hasn't raced in ages."She had no fear of losing."Oh, p

    "Does she really think she's some big shot?" Quincy sneered. As he turned to leave, he sarcastically remarked, "Who knows how many men she has slept with? Pfft!"Millie grabbed his collar and demanded, "Apologize to my friend.""And what are you going to do about it if I don't apologize?" Quincy challenged, cocking an eyebrow.Millie's grip on his collar grew tighter with each passing moment. "Come on, you're just a woman. How strong could you really be?" he taunted.Right then, Marvin cleared his throat lightly and told Millie, "Boss, he's representing the amateur team today.""Him?" Millie sized up Quincy, chuckled, and delivered a direct blow, "He wouldn't stand a chance against me."Quincy's expression darkened at her words. She might have her doubts about him, but questioning his racing skills was off-limits. "What are you being so cocky about? Let's race then!"A faint smile played on Millie's lips as she asked casually, "Are you sure?""I—" Quincy suddenly found hims

    As Millie's words sank in, the man visibly faltered. The onlookers around them exchanged looks of shock. They couldn't help but wonder if they had heard her correctly.Noticing his nervous gulp, Millie repeated, "If you lose, you cut off a thumb as a sign of respect for all life. Do you dare?"Quincy chuckled awkwardly. It was as if he couldn't believe Millie could play for such high stakes. Wasn't this akin to gambling with his life?He simply wanted to defeat this wealthy woman, not put his life on the line.All at once, their surroundings fell eerily quiet. Millie took a step forward and stared him down. Her smile widened as she gently asked, "Are you scared?"Quincy was flustered. Just as he struggled to find his words, someone from behind heckled, "Come on, Quincy! She's just a woman. Why are you afraid of her?""That's right! You've driven this route hundreds of times, surely you can beat her?""Do it! But we have one condition!"At that moment, a redhead, Matt Tatum, p

    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
