"Don't be ridiculous," Winston warned, his voice chilly and distant. It was as though he was deliberately avoiding the situation.Millie stood rooted to the spot. Right then, her gaze inadvertently locked with Winston's dark eyes. When he frowned, Millie did too. Just like that, they stared at each other, neither willing to break eye contact. It was only when Joanna turned that Millie's attention was finally drawn away. Millie's hands, resting at her sides, clenched slightly as she asked, "Does the Aspher belong to Winston?"Before Winston could respond, Joanna's icy voice interjected, "Who else would it be?"Millie ignored Joanna and turned her attention to Winston, wanting to hear his explanation. If the Aspher was indeed his, did that mean he was the one who sent the herb to the auction house overseas?And if that was the case, why didn't Winston give it to Millie directly? Why did he have someone else to do it instead?Millie's tone was calm as she asked again, "Mr. Greer,
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 418
Millie turned and watched Winston walk away, her expression growing more troubled. When Winston glanced back and met Millie's eyes, it seemed like he had something to say. But in the end, he chose to chase after Joanna. Millie remained quiet. A moment later, she chuckled wryly. What was all this about? When she looked up again, she saw Paxton standing before her. The young man awkwardly scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless. Millie approached him and said, "Let's finish this meal."Whether the Aspher was his or Winston's, her purpose today was to treat them to a meal. Winston probably thought that if he were the one offering the Aspher, Millie wouldn't accept them. But he was overthinking it. For something relevant to Layla's research, she was extremely cautious. She wouldn't let any personal grudges interfere with the research's success. Even if Winston had been the one to offer the herb that day, Millie would have accepted it, though she would have raised the p

Millie was going to her car in the parking lot when a black Maybach suddenly stopped in front of her. The car window rolled down; it was Winston."Millie, get in the car," he said calmly, although his tone was intense.She declined. "I'm going back."If Joanna found out that he sent her home, she would definitely cause a scene again."Get in the car," repeated Winston, his tone growing more serious.Millie frowned. "What's the matter?""Can't I just meet you? Didn't you used to enjoy being with me?" Winston grew impatient over time.She smiled. "Mr. Greer, if you don't have anything to tell me, there's no need for you to come to me. Time is precious for everyone, and our identities have changed. Let's not compare ourselves to the past."Winston was rendered speechless. Undoubtedly, things had changed significantly.Millie's phone rang abruptly. It was the reminder she had set for her divorce appointment tomorrow. She turned her phone screen to Winston and smiled. "Mr. Greer,

Millie could only turn to the side. Seeing this, Winston experienced a twinge of discomfort in his heart. In the past, she would promptly ask him to put out his cigarette, but now she simply frowned and remained silent. He suddenly asked, "No comment?"Millie looked up at him. "What should I say?"Winston was at a loss for words. He gazed at Millie, his eyes expressing a myriad of emotions. It was the first time he had truly taken the time to appreciate her captivating beauty. At that moment, he realized the exquisite allure of her eyes, which possessed a captivating charm that could ensnare anyone at first glance.They looked at each other, but Millie was the first to look away. This had always been the case, from high school until now. Even after their divorce, Millie claimed she no longer loved him. Nevertheless, whenever they locked eyes, she would always be the one to break the gaze, unable to withstand the intensity of their eye contact.Winston chuckled and took a drag

Winston just shook his head without saying a word and opened the car door so Millie could get in. She silently entered the car without hesitation.Winston was driving fast and stopped in front of Caldwell Villa. She got out of the car, but he didn't follow. He looked at Millie, waiting for her to speak, as she seemed like she had something to say.Millie hesitated to speak. Eventually, she said, "If you're busy, perhaps we can reschedule for the day after tomorrow."He expected her to say something important, but it was just about their divorce again. Winston hummed in response and left immediately.Millie watched his car drive away, feeling a mix of emotions. She sighed. When she turned, she noticed Arthur standing nearby. She smiled and rushed over to hug him. "Grandpa."Arthur snorted. "I saw who took you home."Millie casually shrugged and joked. "We ran into each other at the restaurant, and he insisted on giving me a ride home. I guess I'm just too charming."Arthur couldn

Julia knew what Millie was going to do. However, she chose not to ask further, sensing that she was feeling a bit low.Millie drove a black car and played loud music on the road. The cold wind made her feel more awake. As she got closer to the courthouse, she felt more relaxed. But it wasn't until she caught sight of Winston smoking at the courthouse that she got slightly anxious. At that moment, she realized that she wasn't calm enough. He leaned against the car, feeling the cold morning air. He appeared cold and looked up to meet Millie's eyes.Millie gazed at Winston in silence, her grip on the steering wheel tightening gradually. She frowned slightly. He had kept his promise to show up, yet her heart felt strangely empty.Winston put out the cigarette and tossed it into the trash can.Millie stepped out of the car and approached him. They exchanged a glance. Unexpectedly, Winston smiled. "You look stunning today."Millie was stunned. She was just wearing a simple white dre

"Grandma, Mom, thank you for taking care of me all these years. I'll always remember your kindness." Millie hugged Selma. Even if Winston attempted to reconcile with her, she was determined to end this unhealthy relationship without hesitation.She released Selma from her embrace, concealing the sadness she felt. She then took a seat, declaring firmly, "We've considered it thoroughly. We want a divorce."Winston just listened quietly and then sat down.Selma was dejected. She wished Winston could see that Millie was the one for him. Millie was much better than Joanna.However, perhaps love worked this way. When one truly loved someone, one just got carried away by it. Winston was definitely caught up in this kind of love, and it looked like Millie was too. Why else would she have spent three years with Winston if she wasn't completely in love?The staff member looked at Selma for her instruction. Each time they came to get divorced, Selma feared that it would really happen. Henc

Selma shook her head and grabbed Gloria's hand. "Let's go."The staff made a final inquiry. "Are both of you absolutely certain about proceeding with the divorce?""Yes." Millie's voice was notably soft yet unexpectedly resolute.Winston frowned and hummed in reply.Soon after, the staff presented the divorce certificate. "From now onwards, you two are no longer legally recognized as husband and wife." The statement seemed to cast a sudden hush over the entire office.Millie still remembered the day three years ago when the staff announced with a smile, "Congratulations, you are officially married from now on."Even though Winston didn't want to marry her back then, she still remembered being happy when they made their vows.She gazed at the divorce certificate lying on the table, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. After a brief pause, she picked it up. Holding a divorce certificate and holding a marriage certificate were so different. The divorce certificate felt like

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
