Megan turned and saw a young lady as pretty as she was.

"Nothing." She smiled and touched her arm on the spot where Winston had held her.

She seemed to feel the lingering warmth of his fingertips. Then, she lifted her arm and sniffed softly. Too bad he didn't leave behind any scent.

Her first encounter with Winston was at the time he hosted a guest lecture at the University of Yerwick. She had lost her way and bumped into him, who was on the phone outside the lecture hall.

As fate would have it, a downpour started right after her lecture, and she didn't have an umbrella with her.

Winston's assistant then offered her an umbrella.

"Megan, did I see you bumping into Mr. Greer? Wait a minute. Is he your target tonight?" The young lady, Ellie Barney, poked Megan in the elbow.

Megan's face instantly turned a deep shade of red. "Gosh, Ellie, would you listen to yourself? Someone of my status could never dream of dating Mr. Greer!"

Ellie, who was in the same line of work, smiled witho

    When Millie opened the door, she found Winston standing there looking disheveled in a white shirt and a loose tie. His brow was locked in a frown, and he looked like he had a lot to say.She hung her head and stepped aside to allow him into the room. There were too many pairs of eyes around for them to openly converse by the door.However, he refused to enter."Millie Caldwell, how much grudge do you hold against me? Since I'm here, I allow you to take it out on me." He stared back with tired eyes.She glanced at him and chuckled wryly. "It's pointless. I can't be bothered to bring it up.""Oh, are you unwilling to talk about it when I'm in front of you?" Winston took a step forward and swallowed hard. His tone was filled with doubt.She let out a laugh. "I'm the one who's hurt. You've always been the arrogant one. Now that we're divorced, you act like you're caring and have always listened all of a sudden. Don't you think you're being fake?"Every single word of hers was akin

    On the deck, Joanna was in the middle of a heated argument with another woman, Hannah Egan. She was shoved against the railing, and as she glanced down, all she could see was the vast sea. Joanna gripped Hannah's arms tightly, her eyes wide with fear. Her breath came in ragged gasps as she scanned the crowd for the one person. "Win… Win, save me."Hannah sneered, her grip tightening around Joanna's neck. "You're nothing but a mistress! How dare you come between them!" she snarled.Right then, a murmur spread through the crowd, and someone remarked softly, "Mr. Greer is here."Hannah stepped forward upon hearing that. She glared at Joanna and spat out, "Do you know who sent me? It was Millie Caldwell!"Winston's steps came to an abrupt stop, while Joanna was in disbelief. "What?"Hannah continued through gritted teeth, "Mr. Greer and Ms. Caldwell were perfectly happy until you came along. Don't you think you deserve to die?"Sean hurried over to the scene. Just as he was abo

    It was hard to believe that someone as dramatic and whiny as Joanna was also the calm person who had saved Winston during his abduction. Winston's gaze darkened as he uttered lightly, "Let her go, and I'll become your hostage."The onlookers were stunned after hearing that. "Wow, Mr. Greer is actually offering himself as a hostage! He must really love Joanna.""Joanna doesn't even compare to Mr. Greer. She's made him willingly offer himself as a hostage!" The spectators were awed by the depth of Winston's affection. Yet, only he was aware of the true motive behind his words. "Win…" Joanna was touched, too. With tears streaming down her face, she cried out, "Please, don't. If one of us has to die, let it be me, not you."Millie chuckled wryly. What a romantic couple. She then made her way through the crowd and approached them.Joanna's eyes flickered with a hint of malice as soon as she spotted Millie. "Is this someone I sent? But I don't know her," Millie remarked, steppi

    Millie took a couple of steps forward and looked down. She soon spotted Joanna struggling in the sea."Help me!" Joanna's arms flailed while her gaze locked on the cruise ship, fighting desperately to stay afloat.A flicker of shock crossed Winston's face, and he rushed to the railing. To his disbelief, Joanna had indeed been pushed overboard. Beside him, Hannah laughed gleefully. Her mission had been accomplished. Winston frowned and immediately removed his suit jacket before jumping into the sea.Millie watched him dove in without hesitation. Her hands tightened around the railing as she recalled how she had once done the same to save him. As Winston swam toward Joanna, Millie was so engrossed that she didn't notice the danger closing in on her. Hannah, standing next to Millie, slowly advanced toward her. At that point, Winston was getting closer to Joanna.Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. "Millie, it's all a lie. The one who truly deserves to die is you."Mille's head s

    The distance between Millie and Winston was far too great. Even if he tried to swim over, he would be too exhausted to make it. This was the sea, after all."Winston," Millie called out softly. Even in the tumultuous sea, he heard her clearly. Millie's eyes grew red as she struggled to stay afloat. "I don't regret saving you once," she murmured. "But I can't bring myself to put my life in your hands now."She had escaped death three years ago. Was she really going to meet her end here?Winston heard Millie's words, but they were muffled and hard to understand. The sound of the waves crashing was deafening. The sea had been so calm when they set sail, yet now it felt overwhelming and chaotic. "Win, my leg is cramping. It hurts so much." Joanna suddenly struggled. By that point, Winston no longer had the strength to swim toward Millie. The deck was in a state of panic, with people frantically scrambling. "Someone, save them!""Hurry up!""Where's the rescue team?"Inside

    The wind swept across the deck, carrying a sense of desolation.After Millie spat out several mouthfuls of seawater, she opened her eyes to find a crowd of unfamiliar faces. Some stared at her with worry, while others looked on with interest. She turned her head slightly and saw Sean kneeling on one knee, his brow furrowed, water dripping from his hair. When she looked up, she met Marvin's gaze. He was both anxious and excited. "Boss! Boss, are you alright?"Sean lifted his head upon hearing that. Millie coughed and instinctively reached out to grab Marvin's shirt. With bloodshot eyes, he snapped, "And you kept insisting I didn't need to come along!"If he hadn't been so determined to follow her, did it mean he would never see her again? Millie was such a good boss and the backbone of M Base. What would they do without her?"Now look what happened to you!" Marvin kept scolding her. Beside them, Sean was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between Mil

    "Mom, everything's fine now, isn't it?" Millie didn't want to dwell on it any longer.Julia embraced her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably. Right then, there was a knock at the door. "Mills, Julia," a woman called out.That voice… Julia released Millie, and they both looked up. It was Brian and Gloria. "What are you doing here?" Julia questioned, her reluctance evident. She quickly wiped away her tears and stepped aside as Millie tugged at the corner of her mother's shirt.Seeing their tear-stained faces, Gloria felt a pang of guilt. "We only found out from the news that Millie was at the cruise party last night. She…" Gloria's gaze lingered on Millie, her regret deepening. She didn't know how to bring up the scene where Winston saved Joanna. It was truly heart-wrenching. After all, Millie and Winston had known each other for so many years. Even if there wasn't any romantic affection between them, shouldn't seven years have been enough for him to choose to save Millie first

    Soon, it was New Year's Eve. Yerwick City didn't have a ban on fireworks, so the neighborhood had been lively since early in the day.Arthur wanted to hang some lights to bring more festive spirit into the house. However, when he looked at the high places where he needed to hang them, he felt like he just couldn't manage it.Just as Thomas and Everly arrived outside the door, he called out to them, "Hurry and hang up these lights.""Oh dear, be careful not to fall at this age." Thomas quickly took the string of lights from Arthur's hands.Arthur replied, "I was just waiting for you all!"Everly joked, "Grandpa, are you upset that we arrived late?""Hmph! You weren't early enough. Millie hasn't even shown up yet!"But as soon as he finished speaking, Millie walked in holding some things. "Grandpa, I heard you talking about me from far away, and I've sneezed several times because of it," she said with a slight smile, her voice bright and cheerful.The group turned their attention

    At that moment, a cold snort came from the staircase.Arthur looked up. Wasn't that Layla standing there?Layla walked downstairs, her tone sounding incredulous as she said, "Is this guy really willing to go to such lengths to get what he wants? He even had the nerve to say something like that?""When pursuing someone you like, there's nothing you wouldn't do, no matter how embarrassing. Back when I was trying to win you over, didn't I wait for you outside your house every day?" The thought brought Arthur a sense of sorrow.The Cadmores were a medical family, and Arthur was a businessman. Even though he also made a fortune in the medical field, the Cadmore family wasn't willing for the two of them to be together. They just wanted Layla to marry someone who was also studying medicine.Believe it or not, back then, there really was another medical student as her suitor. The Cadmore family liked them, and outsiders also thought they were a good match.In the end, the persistent suit

    The car was parked in front of the Caldwell residence. Eli took out the items and silently handed them to Winston. He wanted to see if Winston could help escort the two elderly people to the door."No need to accompany me any further. Let's leave it here," Layla insisted, maintaining her refusal.She always maintained a sense of propriety, even in how she addressed Winston.Winston found Layla harder to impress than Millie."Grandma, let me help you take it inside. It's not far. I'll just go in and come right out. I won't stay long," Winston said with a smile.Layla was about to speak. Arthur nudged her arm, suggesting she let it go, as she had been bothered enough already.Layla remained silent for a moment before nodding.Winston was given permission, and he immediately followed the two elderly people into the Caldwell residence with the items.Eli sighed and couldn't help but take a video of Winston, feeling really humbled.It was really hard to believe this was Winston.W

    "The shop shutting down for rectifications is necessary. If she keeps up this attitude, there's no point in having the store here. You all should remove her from this place," Layla said, intending to rid Clara of a job.When Clara heard it, her face turned pale. However, she didn't dare to speak at the moment, fearing that the more she said, the more mistakes she might make.These people all seemed to be important figures!"Alright!" Bernard clapped his hands and agreed, "Professor Cadmore, we agree. If she doesn't give the proper compensation, we will definitely fire her!"Arthur supported Layla and gently patted her back, gesturing for her to calm down and not be upset anymore.Layla had finally started to calm down a bit. She had actually become much more mellow with her temper. In the past, whether in the lab or outside, she was always decisive and assertive.This was also why Arthur had been obedient all these years. He would always go along with her."Hurry up, apologize t

    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. I am demanding that her shop undergo rectifications before reope

    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
