Damien narrowed his eyes. "Oh.""I fell for him first." Millie smiled. Now, she could finally tell her story with Winston without getting emotional about it.She let out a sigh and looked out of the window. "Mr. Callister, I lost the bet.""At that time, you might have lost the bet, but that is good news for your current self. Your bright future is about to take off. You've won when a man regrets leaving you," Damien replied seriously with an arched eyebrow.She turned to face him. She asked, "Is that so?"Damien gave her a nod. "He knelt in front of you and revealed his regrets to the media. Millie Caldwell, you won."She smiled. Alas, winning wasn't the most important thing in a relationship. Lovers would always feel like they fell short—that their efforts were never quite enough for each other.What was the point of being in love if it all boiled down to mere winning or losing?They sat in silence until their car arrived at the entrance of the lab. Damien reminded her, "Re

Winston stared at their chat history with mixed feelings.Once again, Millie had blocked her. She'd only unblock his number when she had to reach out to him, and she'd immediately block him when he wasn't needed.That was characteristic of her, though.Winston put away his phone and massaged his forehead in inexplicable frustration. Soon, he rose from his seat and grabbed his jacket. He left his office and said, "Eli, let's go to the pier."Since he felt bothered when he was free, his solution was to make himself busy.Winston leaned against the car seat and scrolled through the comments under the news. He was curious about the public take on the issue when Eli suddenly hit the brakes."Mr. Greer!"Winston jolted forward a little, but he quickly grabbed the handle in the car. Frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?""It's Joanna," Eli revealed exasperatedly.Joanna had placed herself in front of Winston's car by the Greer Tower. Winston's frown deepened at the sight of the woma

When Eli and Winston arrived at the pier, they saw a cargo ship unloading its freight. Winston went up for a closer look and recognized it as Kennedy's ship.Kennedy had not returned the goods abroad. Instead, he had stored them."Hey, who are you looking for?" someone called out to Winston.Winston turned around and saw the person in charge of the area. The brusque man wore a security guard uniform.He frowned at the sight of Winston before scanning him from head to toe. "Are you Winston Greer?"Eli's expression fell. "How dare you address Mr. Greer by his full name?"The man snickered. He couldn't believe that Winston had shown up.Winston pointed at Kennedy's cargo ship. "I want the cargo ship to turn around."The man was taken aback. "Mr. Greer, that ship belongs to Mr. Sullivan.""I know. Make it turn around," Winston said flatly. He had sent out directives prohibiting anyone in the country from importing William's goods, and he intended to enforce that rule.If Kennedy

"Winston Greer, you're always like this. And this is the reason you messed up your relationship with Millie. Do you understand?" Kennedy took a huge step forward.Kennedy knew Winston too well. Only the mention of Millie would get an emotional response out of him."Do you know what I've always wanted to tell you?" Kennedy marched up and stared into his eyes with a sneer.Winston frowned at Kennedy but didn't respond. He appeared uninterested in what Kennedy had to say, but Kennedy had to let it out, "I saw with my own eyes that your abductor tossed Millie into the sea in exchange for keeping you alive."Winston's head snapped up. What? Did Kennedy know about that incident too?Staring at Kennedy from the corner of his eye, he observed the shock unfolding on Winston's face. He snickered. "Oh, are you surprised to learn about it? Are you curious about my presence at the scene of your abduction?"He fixed a calm gaze on Winston. Winston felt his throat tighten as he grappled for wor

Kennedy gritted his teeth when Winston's car departed. He turned his gaze to his goods that had been taken care of.He could bribe the pier workers with as much money as he could afford, but their loyalty would always stay with their employers.People like Kennedy, who paid off the workers, meant nothing in the end. The person in charge would suddenly put a halt to everything without any warning. Kennedy laughed when he looked at that man.What was everything for? In the end, he was just someone to be ditched at a moment's notice.…Winston kept his eyes shut throughout the journey back from the pier. Eli stole a glance to the back and whispered, "Mr. Greer, how about I send you home for some rest?"Winston's eyes fluttered open. He stared at the bustling city with mixed feelings.…The clock struck 2:00 am when Millie wrapped up her work and checked her phone.She missed Julia's text from 9:00 am. Julia had written, "I placed the invitation to a jewelry exhibition on your b

Winston massaged his temples. Though he understood the logic, he still felt frustrated.He didn't even realize that his car was following closely behind the black sports car ahead. Since it was the early hours of the morning and there were few cars on the road, the two luxury vehicles inevitably drew attention.Millie had planned to rest for a while but spotted a car trailing them in the rearview mirror. Initially, she assumed it was merely another vehicle on the same route, especially since it was dark and she couldn't see the license plate. However, as they made several turns, the car continued to follow them. Millie narrowed her eyes.At a red light, the tail lights of Sean's car illuminated the license plate of the vehicle behind. Millie turned to look and realized it was Winston's car. Why was he following them in the dead of night?Meanwhile, Sean had long noticed it. "I saw Win's media interview today," he remarked. Millie immediately averted her gaze and turned to S
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 534
With a hint of surprise, Millie glanced at Sean before breaking into a smile. "I hope things go well for you, too.""Everything will surely go well for me because I have a new goal," Sean answered. Millie was puzzled. A new goal?Sean looked at her profile, and his lips curled into a faint smile. Yes, he had a new goal. His interest in Millie wasn't just a result of her saving him. He was genuinely fascinated by who she was. Though young, Millie wasn't afraid to love and hate deeply, and she moved on with remarkable grace. Didn't that make her intriguing? She had remarkable medical skills but chose to leave them behind to take on Layla's research. Sean couldn't help but think it was admirable. Despite Millie's seemingly frail appearance, there was a profound and mysterious depth to her. Sean's interest in her was genuine and intense.The car pulled up to the entrance of a private kitchen. As Millie and Sean walked in one after another, she asked, "By the way, Sean, you've

Winston went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. A wave of emotions washed over him as he looked at the vacant room. In truth, he had barely set foot in the room since Millie moved out. Instead, he chose to sleep in the one across the hall. The room, once filled with warmth, now felt cold and empty to Winston. When Millie was around, it had always been cozy. Even a bouquet on the coffee table made the space feel like a home. But now, it was as if the room had lost all its color, leaving behind only a dull gray. Winston recalled the first day Millie arrived at the villa. She had been extremely cautious, her face flushed with shyness. She would never have known then that her marriage would turn into something she'd dread to speak of. Winston's fingers gently grazed the pillow on the bed's edge. He hadn't spent many nights with her. More often than not, Millie had slept alone.Her face would light up with joy whenever she saw him enter the room. Yet, he only came to find fault,

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
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1026
"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
