Chapter 32

Author: Gina Cinq
Seeing as he had no idea, Jake took his phone out immediately. He'd taken a screenshot upon seeing the headlines.

Thus, he read it out for Winston, "Simon Brings Dad to Visit Caldwells. Millie Caldwell and Winston Greer Divorce Speculation!"

Winston frowned, and his gaze fell on Jake's face. He coughed softly and continued reading the next headline, "Harrisons Visit Caldwells. Millie and Simon to Tie the Knot Soon!"

Jake felt guilty upon reading it.

The media was too daring in their write-ups. They'd only gotten a picture. Everything else was a product of their imagination. How could it be that their wedding was approaching?

He took a peak at Winston. The lights had been dim enough in the room. With the air of iciness around him, Jake couldn't even look at him.

After hearing the headlines, his mood soured even further.

"The third headline…" Jake coughed and touched his nose. He glanced at Winston, seemingly asking for permission to continue.

Winston gritted his teeth an

    Upon seeing him again, she would greet him with a smile and call him affectionately. "Win," she would say. When he thought about it, his heart stuttered, as though a million ants were marching across it. It made him restless. Jake rubbed his chin and joked, "I wonder whether Ms. Caldwell and Simon will invite me to their engagement party.""I didn't even get to go to your wedding when you guys were married! Millie is so pitiful. Not only did you not acknowledge her as your wife, you didn't even hold a banquet in celebration." Winston felt a mess of emotions. Jake was nagging at him, making him extremely annoyed. Thus, he took his coat and walked out. Jake only reacted after a moment. "Win, where are you going?" he shouted. Winston didn't reply to his question. When Winston left the bar, Eli was dealing with the news of Millie online. Eli looked back and asked Winston, "Mr. Greer, how should I handle the news of Ms. Caldwell and Mr. Harrison?" Winston pulled at his ti

    "Thank you so much for today. There was a small hiccup in the middle, so I apologize for any inconvenience!" Millie apologized furiously in front of the Caldwell Villa. Simon reclined on his car and raised a brow casually. He said, "As long as you're happy, none of it matters." Millie smiled, her eyes curving upward. "Thank you!" Simon said, "No problem. Don't let your mood be affected by some unimportant people." She nodded and agreed. "Alright. See you around, Simon." Simon hummed and left in his car. Millie remained standing by the door until Simon's car faded from sight. Only then did she shake her arms out and decide to return home. It was rare to see such a chivalrous and elegant man. It was a shame that she was too horrible. She wasn't good enough for him. Just as Millie was about to go home, a familiar voice rang out behind her, "Millie." His voice was hoarse, but it seemed to carry a heady warmth that burnt a hole in her heart. Milile turned immediately

    What was he doing, going on a drunk rampage? Millie pursed her lips and looked at him darkly, "This is my personal life. I have the right not to answer, don't I?" She was about to push him away. However, he pressed her arm onto the wall, preventing her from escaping. "Winston, if you continue doing this, I'm going to call the police!" Millie frowned, her tone firm. "Alright, you can call the police." He looked down at her. Something seemed to burn in his eyes. He hadn't done anything to Millie, not to mention they were still married. He wanted to see how the police would handle this. Millie looked into his eyes. She felt extremely sad. She knew he didn't love her. His continued questioning was only because she was canoodling with other men despite their divorce not being finalized. This fact overstepped his limits and trampled on his manly ego. Millie sniffed. She glanced at Winston with a smile. She said calmly, "Right, I've fallen for Simon." Winston stiffened.

    When Millie turned to look, Winston was lying on the floor. His hand was holding his stomach, and his face was pale. He looked extremely unwell. Milie's heart seized. She walked over and kneeled beside him, her face etched with concern. "Winston!" she shouted.However, when she thought of how she and Winston were basically unrelated, she retracted the hand she'd extended. With Eli present, he wouldn't let anything happen to Winston. Millie looked down and shoved down her concern. She got up to leave. Eli shouted hurriedly, "Mrs. Greer!" Milli said tonelessly, "Eli, he must've drank too much wine, which triggered his gastric problems. Send him to the hospital and inform Joanna about his situation." Eli looked at Millie, slightly surprised that those words came from her mouth. In the past, whenever something happened to Winston, Millie would always be the first to appear by his side. As she was about to leave, the man's icy fingers held onto hers. "Mills," he murmure

    Their car stopped in front of the door to the emergency ward. Millie helped Winston onto the bed and turned to leave. However, he held onto her fingers with no signs of letting go. She frowned and tried to pry his fingers open, only to realize that he was gripping her tightly. Millie could only sigh and resign herself to accompany him. "Doctor, how is he?" she asked the doctor on duty.The doctor gave a short explanation, "He's alright. He just needs to finish the drip. He'll be fine as long as his stomach isn't further stimulated." As she looked at the man on the bed, disdain flashed across her eyes. She patted Winston's arm and complained softly, "You've never been able to take care of yourself when we were in high school. You're already in your 20s, yet you still act the same. You keep making other people worry about you!" However, Millie sighed when she saw Winston's pale face. Her eyes were filled with concern. Millie reclined by his bed. She crossed her arms and st

    Winston opened his eyes and swallowed, breathing heavily. He said, "I…" "Win…" Joanna's voice rang out by the door. Millie pushed Winston away on reflex. She stood up straight and stared at the door. Joanna bit her lip while holding a meal container. She glared at Millie, animosity flashing across her eyes. She took two steps back and said tonelessly, "Don't misunderstand, Joanna. Winston thought that I was you." Take a guess whether she believed Millie's words. Joanna looked at Winston lying on the bed and smiled. "Winston, have I come at a bad time?" she asked. Millie didn't want to trouble herself, so she lied, "His gastric problems flared up. I ran into him coincidentally and brought him over." Joanna stared at them in frustration. She knew Millie was lying to her. She came over without anyone telling her to do so. Wouldn't Millie know why she came? She had someone keeping an eye on Winston at all times! The first person Winston sought out after getting drunk

    "Let me take a look at how Snowdrop is doing on the black market?" Millie said. How much had the prices inflated?Marvin hummed and followed her into the information room. The gigantic screen in the room flickered, displaying the discussions of Snowdrop on the black market. There were more than two million threads about Snowdrop with more than two billion reads. This wasn't the main issue. The problem was that the price was also snowballing! The price list in the upper right corner displayed the price of a Snowdrop to be ten billion dollars! Marvin said, "Up till now, no one has gotten Snowdrop." Millie crossed her arms and frowned. "Boss, is the Snowdrop really not with you?" Marvin looked at Millie. Millie refused to reveal the truth. He was unsure of what was going on. She looked at Marvin and raised an eyebrow. "I saw Joanna just now. She said the Snowdrop is with her," she explained. "That's hilarious. No one knows where it is. She got a fake one, didn't she?

    Millie took the Snowdrop to the hall. The robot came over and scanned it before exclaiming, "Wow, it's the Snowdrop that the black market has been looking for!" Millie clapped her hands and crossed her arms. The robot asked, "M, where did you get the Snowdrop?" Marvin smiled and replied, "From the rubbish heap waiting for destruction. " The robot seemed stunned. Marvin stared as a bunch of stars appeared on its screen, along with an electrocardiogram. Had it shut down? This was the first time he'd seen a robot shut down in his many years in M Base. Was it okay? The robot restarted itself. A pair of blinking doe eyes appeared on the screen as it said, "I fainted and woke up again! So the Snowdrop is with M!" Marvin didn't know whether to cry or laugh. They'd made a robot shut down with their antics. Marvin asked, "Boss, how are you going to handle it?" Millie looked at him and grinned. Marvin narrowed his eyes. He didn't understand. Was she going to sell it?

    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
