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,

Millie was leaving for the research lab when Julia suddenly grabbed her. With a sandwich in her hand, she looked at her mother in confusion. "What's the matter?""We need to have a word," Julia answered as she led Millie to the couch. Right then, Terrence came in from the garden. He wiped his hands and took a seat across from Millie."Your grandma used to lock herself in the lab all the time. We don't want you doing the same.""We're telling you this because work is endless. You need to find a balance! You should set regular work hours for yourself."Terrence and Julia had learned that Millie only returned home at 4:00 am. Now, just after 9:00 am, she was heading out to work again. How could her body handle that?Millie understood that her parents were concerned about her health, so she obediently nodded and said, "Dad, Mom, thanks for supporting my career. I'll set my hours from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 12 hours a day. Is that okay?"Julia and Terrence exchanged a glance before sha

The atmosphere in the car felt off. Millie looked out of the window in silence, while Winston drove slowly. Millie glanced at him with a touch of resignation and remarked, "At this rate, I'm going to be late."Winston looked up, hummed in acknowledgment, and sped up just a little. She crossed her arms and shot him a disgruntled look. "Is there something you want to talk about?"He nodded. "Yes."With a frown, she waited for him to continue. If he had something to say, he should just come out with it."I…" Winston stuttered, at a loss for words. She had never seen him so flustered before. It was an indescribable feeling. Perhaps this was what it was like to see a once-great figure fall from grace. However, deep down, Millie didn't wish for his downfall. She had always respected him. So, even though they were already divorced and might eventually become strangers, she still hoped he would remain true to himself."There's nothing left to say. After three years of ups and down

Seeing that the research lab was just up ahead, Millie answered the call as she unfastened her seatbelt. "Got it. Yes, I saw the invitation last night. I'll be there," Millie said into the phone."Okay."With that, she hung up. Julia had called to check if she had seen the invitation to the jewelry exhibition that morning.Millie then turned to Winston and said, "The research lab is right there. No need to drive me further. I'll walk from here."Just as she was about to open the car door to step out, Winston grabbed her wrist. Millie glanced back, feeling the heat radiating from his palm. It was as if it could burn her. It was a warmth she had never experienced from him before. She looked up at Winston. Unfortunately, the comfort arrived too late to make a difference.Millie removed his hand and said, "Mr. Greer, please don't cross the line."With that, she opened the door and stepped out. But Winston was right behind her. "Millie, I might have to act selfishly one last t

"Jo, you're not a kid anymore. You and him are nothing to each other now. It's unrealistic to expect him to visit you just because you're sick. Do you understand?" Logan asked sharply, trying to bring her back to her senses. Upon hearing those words, Joanna's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't believe that one cruise party had ruined everything she had worked for. How could she come to terms with such a devastating turn of events?Winston was divorced, and everything seemed to be falling into place perfectly. Yet… Joanna closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face. She was heartbroken, gripped by intense sorrow. However, there was no way she could salvage the situation. "Logan, please help me…" Joanna pleaded softly, her voice thick with emotion. Logan remained silent. How could he possibly help? Joanna's actions were outrageous. He had only learned that she had claimed Millie's heroic act as her own after meeting Winston. It was a deception, and of all people, she

Winston leaned against his car, smoking a cigarette. Right then, he lifted his head, and their eyes met. November's cold was biting, and the wind made the bare branches quiver. When the breeze swept through, Millie's hair fluttered against her face.Winston blew out a smoke ring and straightened his body before stubbing his cigarette in the trash. With a frown, Millie pulled her coat tighter around her. It was clear that she had no intention of acknowledging him. After that, Winston walked toward her, the faint scent of tobacco lingering in the air around him. Since he wasn't a heavy smoker, the smell wasn't overpowering. Yet, Millie still disliked it."Done with work?" he asked patiently. Millie hummed in response. She glanced at Winston and said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Greer. I'm just about to head home."She knew he had been waiting for her. However, she didn't want anything to do with him, so she tried to brush him off."I was waiting for you, and you know it. Let's g

Millie shot the two men a disdainful glance. She then walked around them and headed toward the bus stop.In the past, she wouldn't have hesitated to choose Winston. Perhaps she would have gone with Sean to make him jealous. But Millie had grown past the stage of using such immature tactics. "Millie, are you avoiding this?" Sean suddenly asked. "Have you forgotten what you said in the car?"She had claimed that there was no possibility with Winston. So why was she shying away from making a choice now? "I'm not avoiding anything. I just don't want to be caught up in your drama!" Millie glared at Sean. She found it annoying that he was stirring the pot.The bus arrived just then, and Millie quickly boarded. As she looked out of the window, she saw Winston staring at her in silence. On the other hand, Sean's handsome face showed a calm detachment. It was clear that he was just teasing her and playing games, a spontaneous idea that popped into his head. Millie could even sense that

The breeze drifted in through the car window, carrying a chill that was hard to describe. Leaning back against the seat, Winston instinctively pulled out his phone to text Millie. He wasn't sure when it started, but he had somehow turned into the clingy one. He found himself constantly wanting to message her. Even while at work, he had the urge to see her.Now, Winston finally understood why Millie had acted the way she did back then. It wasn't surprising. It was simply what happened when someone meant so much to you. While controlling others was easy, taming one's own desires was the real challenge. Winston stared into the distance, a heavy weight settling in his chest. He was aware that he had lost Millie and knew that he needed to make amends. Yet, in the face of her cold demeanor and refusal, he felt powerless. It was as though they were at an impasse. No, perhaps it was only Winston who was stuck. Millie, on the other hand, was moving forward. In the past, he had been

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
