Author: Gina Cinq
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.

The divorce certificate felt like

Everyone was enjoying the discussion.While Millie was enjoying herself, a new notification popped out. The news shattered the hopes of those who believed Winston and Millie would make amends.

How disgusting!"User B inquired, "Is this mistress better than Millie? Mr. Greer, are you blind?"User C stated, "Winston and Joanna are a great couple. They've been together since university.

    Winston sneered. "Shouldn't your cargo be confiscated? Do you know who owns the cargo you are taking?"Winston had prohibited the trade of William's goods in Yerwick and banned any collaboration with him. However, Kennedy persisted in cooperating with William, openly defying Winston's authority. As a result of Kennedy's refusal to comply with the ban, Winston confiscated his cargo."Winston, release my cargo and I'll release yours." Kennedy stood up.Winston glared at Kennedy and said sarcastically, "Are you threatening me?" "Glad you caught on." Kennedy sneered.Winston smiled. Kennedy had always wanted to defeat the Greer family for many years. However, he didn't consider how unrealistic it was to try and defeat them with his limited strength. It was just wishful thinking."Kennedy, stop taking advantage of the situation. If I had any intention of dealing with you, I'd have taken action earlier. The only reason I've been tolerant is due to the long-standing friendship between

    Kennedy was unaware that Winston's subordinates were ambushing the area. Once the attack was initiated, Kennedy's subordinates were quickly surrounded and defeated. Winston's subordinates quickly and effectively apprehended and subdued Kennedy's subordinates.Then, Winston grabbed Kennedy's arm, threw him over his shoulder, and stepped on him."Kennedy, I never intended to pick on you. It was you who led us to this point." Winston glanced downward, the flicker of his eyelashes casting a gentle shadow beneath his eyes. He gazed down at him, his demeanor exuding indifference and a touch of sarcasm.His behavior further fueled Kennedy's anger. With a sneer, he remarked, "If you had only brought the same decisiveness and composure to your marriage as you did to your career, perhaps your relationship wouldn't have suffered so greatly."Winston was stunned and confused by what he said.Kennedy lay on the ground, sarcastically remarking, "I heard you got divorced today. And you wasted no

    "Kennedy, get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush." Winston became impatient.The cold wind swept through the city, enveloping it in darkness. As the freighter floated along the shore, cries of despair echoed among the people who lay on the ground.Winston witnessed Kennedy leaving and waving at him in silence. Eli intervened and stopped Winston from running after Kennedy. He warned, "Mr. Greer, don't be fooled by Kennedy. His words may be deceptive. I'll arrange for someone to protect Ms. Caldwell."Winston frowned as he looked at Kennedy, feeling a mix of emotions. Then, Kennedy turned and gave him a strange smile before gradually disappearing from view.Eli advised seriously, "Mr. Greer, don't get distracted by him. Stay focused. We can't afford to release this batch of cargo.""Did you hear what he said?" Winston asked.Eli nodded to show that he did."He has something important to tell me," Winston said with certainty. It might be related to Millie. Fur

    Millie was heartbroken as she looked through the photos of her and Winston's life throughout the years. The pain intensified as she reflected on the divorce certificate she had received earlier that day. She felt even more powerless.She randomly clicked on a photo, and it was one she secretly took of Winston. In the high school photos, they appeared genuinely casual and seemed to share a close relationship. It was evident from the photos that Millie often looked at Winston, and reciprocally, he would also look at her.However, when they went to university and she followed Winston's path, his attitude toward her changed significantly. The previous playful and relaxed look turned into a cold and hostile expression when he looked at her.Millie was irritated, and she closed the photo folder. She then deleted all the photos without hesitation. As the computer screen cleared, it felt as though she had erased every single memory of Winston from her mind.Millie lay on the table and

It seemed as though she simply didn't want to work at the hospital anymore.Lainey asked again, "Have you thought it through?"Millie nodded again. Lainey remained silent. Millie was hoping for Lainey's approval. Meanwhile, Vanessa frowned and seemed unwell. Millie looked at Vanessa, who frowned and then walked out.Lainey asked Millie to leave the office first, as she still needed to speak to Sebastian about the issue.

    Millie was utterly speechless. She wasn't sad at all about divorcing Winston. If she had been sad, she wouldn't have gone through with the divorce. The fact that it had reached this point meant that she had truly moved on."Mills, do you intend to stay abroad all year round, or do you plan to take a break for a few months and then come back?" Julia was concerned.Millie replied seriously, "I'll remain abroad all year long."Hearing the news, Julia collapsed onto the couch."Mom…" Millie stepped forward.Julia stared at Millie, her eyes welling up with tears. "You've only been back home for a few months, and now you want to leave us behind and go abroad? Millie, that's incredibly selfish of you!"Then, Julia quietly wiped away her tears and went upstairs.Millie felt sad when she looked at her. Julia's words made her realize that she had indeed become increasingly selfish over time. She lowered her head."Let's discuss it again after the cruise party." Millie eventually relented

    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.

    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
