"What does it matter if she's his dream lover? After all, he has been married to you for three years. And you're so attractive and charming.

"It's impossible that he has not been captivated by you in any way during this time. Do you remember? He was more attached to you in high school."

Rachel carefully analyzed the situation, acting like a relationship consultant.

Millie nodded, acknowledging that Rachel did have a point. She gazed at Rachel with her beautiful doe eyes and asked, "Then why doesn't he love me?"

Rachel was stunned. She also couldn't understand why Winston didn't love Millie. From her perspective, Millie was much better than the bitch.

Millie saw Winston and Joanna sitting through the window. She finished her champagne and tightened her grip on the glass.

"Mr. Webson, do you have anything else to say?" Rachel inquired.

Jake hummed in response. He did have something important to discuss with her. However, considering Joanna's earlier attitude toward him, it didn'

    Millie walked out of the towering building, feeling the drizzle on her cheeks. She spread her hands to catch the rain. Rainy days without thunder always brought her joy, just like it was at that moment.Everyone was walking slowly. Some even enjoyed this relaxing and pleasant slow moment. Millie stepped out, and the rain fell on her immediately. It was cold, and she felt an indescribable feeling. Millie looked up and let the fine raindrops fall on her all over.At the entrance was a pothole with a small puddle of water. Millie removed her high heels and childishly stepped in the water. Ever since she was a young girl, Millie had adored water. She began learning to swim at the tender age of four or five. However, little did she anticipate that eventually, she would become the one with a deep-seated fear of water.The sky was gloomy, and Yerwick was unusually quiet because of the rain. The media outside noticed Millie coming out and assumed she was going to leave. However, they

    Millie called out, "Ms. Lowell."Winston turned slightly and caught a glimpse of Joanna at the entrance.Joanna quietly observed the two of them. No wonder Winston suddenly wanted to go out. It turned out that he was accompanying Millie in the rain.Joanna walked into the rain, catching Winston off guard. He frowned and tightened his grip on his umbrella, momentarily unsure of what to do.Millie noticed his hesitation and brushed his umbrella aside. It was simply not feasible for a man to handle an umbrella for two women simultaneously. Even if it were possible, it would inevitably lead to one woman feeling neglected.Joanna stood not far away, both she and Millie drenched in the rain. She wished to understand her place in Winston's heart and whether Millie or her was more important to him.Winston felt extremely conflicted."Win, you have to make a choice," Joanna said faintly.Millie turned to look at Winston after overhearing their conversation. Observing his serene demeanor

    Eli sent Joanna to the hospital and requested two bodyguards to watch over her outside the ward.Joanna sobbed and exclaimed, "Eli! You rascal! Why do you obey your boss so blindly?"Eli paused before closing the door. He looked into the ward, his expression turning gloomy. The door slammed shut, blocking out Joanna's crying and insults. He left the hospital and texted, "Mr. Greer, everything has been taken care of."The dark and eerie sky loomed over Yerwick, the air incredibly fresh after the rain. Just as Eli prepared to depart, a prison vehicle pulled up alongside him. Moments later, two uniformed personnel emerged. The medical staff from the hospital's emergency department rushed out, too. One of them was on the phone, saying, "We've arrived."Just as the man was about to go to the emergency department, Eli called out, "Officer Thompson!""Mr. Barnes," Liam Thompson rushed over to Eli respectfully."What happened to Sonny Alpers?" Eli glanced inside."Oh, you mean 282

    Millie caught a glimpse of the news about herself on Arthur's iPad, displayed in a large font. "Winston Holds Umbrella for Millie at Luminous Grand Hotel Entrance Amid Rain"Millie thought, "What a romantic headline.""Did you two make up?" Arthur was concerned.Millie found this topic troubling. "No, I accidentally ran into him." While speaking, Millie felt slightly guilty as it didn't seem believable.Arthur pointed at Millie and warned, "You are not allowed to have any further contact with him, do you understand?"Millie nodded obediently.Arthur asked, "How many days are left in the one-month cooling-off period?""It's only been two or three days," Millie pouted and thought Arthur was so eager for her to divorce Winston.Arthur said solemnly, "Great. You still have control over your thoughts. You'd be a coward if you didn't go through with the divorce after a month."Millie was left speechless. "Grandpa, why don't you simply cancel my ID card? It seems like you're implyi

    In the hospital meeting room, sitting across from Sebastian, were Ethan, Joanna's father, Harriet, Joanna's mother, and Logan, who arrived late. It was evident how significant Joanna's situation was for the Lowell family. Despite their busy schedules, all three made it to the hospital to show their support.Sebastian carefully examined Joanna's educational background and glanced meaningfully at the three Lowells present. "Ms. Lowell's academic..."Before Sebastian could finish his sentence, Harriet interrupted firmly, "Jo's academic qualifications are genuine. There is no way that they are fake.""Yes, but someone has reported that Joanna took someone else's spot in medical school." Sebastian's expression turned complicated. Occupying another person's place in school was a grave issue. It was a criminal offense.Ethan's expression darkened even further. "Who reported this? Isn't this slander against Joanna?"Sebastian glanced at Ethan, flashing an apologetic smile. "Mr. Lowell,

    The identity of the whistleblower was the biggest problem now. The scandal threatened to ruin Joanna's career."Who else other than you could have done it?" Harriet's face reddened in anger. As a mother, she felt horrible to see her daughter's career derailed. She was riddled with guilt for failing to protect Joanna."Who knows if it was your daughter's slip of the tongue when she got drunk? Anyway…" Millie approached Sebastian and glanced at the anonymous letter. "Dr. Lloyd, I'm just here to clarify that I didn't write that letter."She added confidently, "I will cooperate if you launch an investigation." After all, truth would prevail.Despite her hatred of Joanna, she had never considered hurting the latter, but not because she was weak. She could be a force to be reckoned with, but she chose to tolerate Joanna for one reason—Winston loved Joanna.However, she wouldn't accept the Lowells' unfair accusation."Alright, Millie. I got it," Sebastian replied with a serious expres

    Millie dodged Harriet's attack. Harriet frowned at her. "How dare you move away?""Not even my parents have laid a finger on me. Who do you think you are?" Millie confronted Harriet, who was at a loss for words.Trembling from head to toe, she pointed a finger and glowered at Millie. "If I had a daughter like you, I'd—"Smiling, Millie retorted, "Thankfully I'm not your daughter. Good thing that you don't have a daughter like me." She would rather jump off a building than have a mother like Harriet."You bitch!" Harriet exploded in anger.Logan quietly observed the two ladies. For some reason, he felt that Millie's resemblance to Harriet went beyond appearance. Even Millie's temper was similar to Harriet's. He gulped.Millie and Harriet marched away from each other in synch. Logan grabbed Harriet by her arm and asked, "Mom, don't you think Millie… resembles you?""What?" Harriet, who was already fuming, got even angrier when Logan made the suggestion. "Don't disgust me!"She di

    Millie was taken aback at the severity of the situation. Did they have to sedate Joanna?Hazel sighed. "Yes. Mr. Greer is waiting outside the room. He's very worried about her."On this topic, everyone agreed that things were unfair for Millie. She was better than Joanna in every aspect, yet she lost Winston to Joanna in the end.Millie bit her lips and deliberated. Finally, she stood up. "I'll take a look.""I think you shouldn't. What if Joanna wakes up and yells at you? A nurse told me that Joanna would spit out really horrible things when she lost her temper. Joanna once said that…" Hazel's voice trailed off.Confused, Millie wondered what came out of Joanna's mouth. Hazel scratched her head with a troubled expression.Smiling, Millie assured her, "Just tell me. It's fine." She had already braced herself for the nasty comments that Joanna made about her."Joanna said she wanted to kill you," Hazel revealed awkwardly.Millie smirked. She had seen this coming."So, Dr. Caldw

    Bernard gave Clara a strong push. She fell to the ground, crying out in anger, "What's the meaning of this!"Bernard approached Winston with his hands tightly clasped and bowed respectfully as he exclaimed, "Mr. Greer!"Winston raised his hand, signaling for him to get up.Clara sat on the ground, feeling completely dumbfounded. Why was Bernard treating him with such respect? Who was this person? What was his background?Winston, with a cold expression, adjusted his sleeve and looked indifferently at Clara on the ground.Bernard said, "Mr. Greer, you should have told us you were coming! I would have had someone prepared to welcome you long ago. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience you experienced. Please accept my apologies!""What's wrong with her? Is she unwell?" Winston asked, pointing to Clara on the ground.Bernard quickly said, "She…""No matter what's up with her, disrespecting customers is a big mistake.

    Winston raised an eyebrow and stepped forward.Clara felt a sudden shudder in her heart and instinctively took a step back.Winston scoffed. What was she backing away for? Was she scared?She was simply someone who bullied the weak but was afraid of the strong. What capabilities did she even have by picking on elderly people?Winston's gaze was steady, and his expression became increasingly cold and harsh.The woman frowned and stayed silent.Winston, speaking calmly and without any agitation, said, "If you don't want to escalate the situation, apologize now. If you're unwilling, then we'll have to get the police to handle it."To begin with, he was never a patient person. The reason he was speaking so nicely was to make a good impression in front of Layla and Arthur.In the past, whenever he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't even pay it any attention and would simply have Eli take them to the police station.Whenever someone made a mistake, it was important to address

    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
