She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 468
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

Millie lifted her head and stared at Terrence's back. A father's love was often silent and unspoken. It was said that mountains were too great to overcome and some people were beyond reach. Yet, in her life, Terrence was both the mountain she could scale and the person she could catch up to. That was because he would stoop to lift Millie over hurdles and unconditionally keep pace with her. Despite that, he would eventually fall behind, unable to keep up with his beloved daughter. Julia frowned when she heard what Terrence said. It was obvious he hadn't talked to her about it."If being abroad gives you a sense of freedom, then by all means, do it. It's better than you ending up in the hospital all the time here."As Terrence spoke, he turned and fixed his intense gaze on Millie, conveying his seriousness. However, her heart ached with a profound sense of remorse. Over the years, she had been her father's source of sorrow. She watched helplessly as he grew older, while she ret

Millie glanced at the nurse outside the door and frowned. Was this typical of the Stringers? Maybe it was. Why else would Sean have been abroad for so many years?Millie approached the bedside and tucked the blanket around Sean. He was still on an IV drip, and his heart rate appeared stable. She thought about checking the wound on his stomach. However, with no one else around, she felt lifting his blanket and shirt was inappropriate.After thinking it over, Millie dismissed the idea. Instead, she sent a text to Marvin. Millie: "Please bring some anti-inflammatory cream when you come to the hospital."Marvin: "Okay."Millie pouted at Marvin's reply and asked, "You rascal, why are you so cold to me?"But Marvin didn't respond. Displeased, Millie sent another message, "So now you're ignoring me, huh?"She was well aware that Marvin was upset. Suddenly, Sean coughed, causing Millie to look up and see him staring at her."You're awake!" Millie immediately placed the back of her

Seeing the shock on Sean's face, Millie couldn't help but chuckle. She picked up an apple from the bedside table, grabbed a fruit knife, and asked, "Why are you so surprised?"Was it really so hard to believe that she was the one who saved Winston? Or was Sean having difficulty accepting that she could do something so remarkable?Sean gulped, staring intently at Milie. The astonishment in his eyes slowly transformed into something more complex and serious."Millie…"With a hum of acknowledgment, Millie gazed up at Sean. Her calm tone reflected a peace that came from years of living.Sean clenched his jaw, and Millie offered him a small slice of apple. "Do you know why Winston is set on marrying Joanna?" Sean's voice was steady but laced with a hint of helplessness. Millie looked at him with a hint of amusement. She then cut herself a small slice of apple and replied, "What other reason could there be? If a man insists on marrying a woman, it has to be because he loves her.""

And now, the mere sight of Joanna made Sean feel sick. The audacity she had to take credit for Millie's heroic act! Did she really think she could get away with it forever?Sean couldn't help but think Millie was a fool. Why hadn't she told Winston that she was the one who saved him?"Mills, would you mind stepping out for a bit? I need to discuss something with Mr. Stringer," Joanna said with a gentle smile. Millie shrugged. She wasn't keen on staying where Joanna was anyway. "In that case, I'll—" Millie was just about to leave when Sean's icy voice cut in. "If you have something to say, just spit it out. Why should my friend leave? "Millie, this is my ward. Stay as long as you want. Unless, of course, she's planning to say something she doesn't want anyone else to know about."Sean's words were sharp and direct. Joanna was somewhat bewildered. Where did all this fury come from? Millie, on the other hand, was even more astonished. She could hardly believe it. After all

"I'm perfectly aware of Win's feelings for me. My relationship with him is none of your business!"As Joanna spoke, she moved closer and carefully tucked the blanket around Sean. Her gaze was cold and threatening as she added, "Sean, just keep to yourself and don't interfere with my affairs. If you insist on meddling, then let's see what happens."With that, Joanna retracted her hand and shot Sean an intense look before striding out of the room.As Sean stared at her retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly. How dare she threaten him? Did she even have the right?A cold smirk spread across his face, his gaze filled with menace. If Joanna wanted to confront him, he'd be more than ready to face it. …The moment Joanna emerged from the ward, she glanced down the empty corridor and tried to hide her shaking hands. Now that Sean knew the truth, what was she supposed to do? He didn't seem like the type to be easily threatened. Was her secret about to be exposed? Joanna admitt

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
