Another man chimed in, "Are you seriously thinking of marrying a divorcee? Your father will be furious if he hears about this!""You need to come to your senses and stop being foolish! She's Winston's ex-wife!"In just a few sentences, the older men kept stressing that Millie was Winston's ex-wife, and Sean found it infuriating."Gentlemen, she has a name. It's Millie, not 'Winston's ex-wife.'" Sean felt compelled to speak up for Millie.The men exchanged glances, while Sean continued, "Millie is remarkable. She's a skilled doctor who carries herself with grace and is currently the head of a research lab. There's really nothing about her that deserves your scorn."Before you judge her, maybe you should take a good look at your own children. Their indulgent, reckless behavior is what you should really be ashamed of."The older men looked even more displeased as soon as Sean finished speaking. "We're only looking out for you!" one of them snapped. "How could you… Ugh!""If your

Suddenly, a staff member approached Millie and lowered her head in greeting. "Ms. Caldwell.""What's the matter?" Millie asked as she glanced up. "Mr. Stringer sent me to ensure you're well taken care of," the young woman explained with a smile, her manner warm and welcoming.Millie glanced at Sean, who was busy socializing. She felt bad that he had to keep worrying about her.She said frankly, "Don't worry about me. Go ahead and attend to your duties. If I get tired, I'll head home to rest. Please tell Mr. Stringer that I'll be at the celebratory dinner."She didn't want to add to Sean's troubles. So, she decided to leave after saying her piece.Millie figured she could find a café to relax—anything to get away from the event. She didn't want to be a distraction and make Sean shift his focus from his guests. Sean watched as Millie walked away, feeling a pang of disappointment as he listened to what the staff had said. It was clear that winning her over would be a challenge.

Millie was just about to open her car door when someone suddenly shouted, "Ms. Caldwell!"Millie turned and saw it was the same server from earlier. "Hello.""Hi, Ms. Caldwell. A table just opened up unexpectedly. Would you like to come and try our dishes?" Millie was taken aback. Why was the server chasing after her with an offer when they had just insisted there was no availability? Noticing her silence, Becky called out again, "Ms. Caldwell?""How did you know who I am?" Millie asked with a touch of resignation.Becky hesitated, unsure of how to respond. In the end, she smiled sheepishly and answered, "Ms. Caldwell, I'd like to invite you to try our restaurant. If you enjoy the food, it would be wonderful if you could help us get the word out."By the way, our special today is foie gras, and it's fantastic. We use high-quality foie gras, prepared fresh on the spot."At the mention of foie gras, Millie's stomach growled loudly. Despite her extensive experience, she couldn't

In the lounge next door, Becky softly informed, "Mr. Greer, I've seated Ms. Caldwell, as you instructed."Winston stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket sleeves. After that, he turned to Becky and said calmly, "If she comes again, make sure she has a seat."Becky nodded immediately. "Yes, Mr. Greer. And what about you, sir?" The table had originally been Winston's, but he had given it up for Millie."I have a reservation elsewhere. There's no need to let Millie know about this. Just make sure she's well taken care of," Winston replied before leaving the room.When he walked past Millie's private room, he glanced through the screen and saw her inside. At that moment, she was gleefully showing off to her friend."Rachel, you won't believe it! I was just about to leave when someone gave up their table for me! Guess who it was? You'll never figure it out."Winston's lips curled into a faint smile as he shook his head, amused by how something

Besides, Winston's project was a guaranteed success. Why would he worry about not having business partners?"Mr. Greer, you'll need to put in more effort with Ms. Caldwell. One meal won't be enough to make up for things," said Eli.Of course, Winston was aware of that."By the way, I heard Ms. Caldwell will be at the jewelry exhibition's celebratory dinner tonight. Will you be attending, Mr. Greer?" Originally, Winston was only scheduled to make a brief appearance during the day. But now that Millie would be there…"Yes, I'll go," he replied. Eli nodded with a smile, clearly expecting his answer. "Okay, Mr. Greer. I'll reschedule tonight's work to tomorrow."…As night fell and the clock struck eight, the jewelry exhibition's celebratory dinner was in full swing. Millie had changed into a sleek black dress that accentuated her slim figure, enhancing her elegance even more.Suddenly, the lights dimmed. Everyone looked up to see Sean making a grand entrance in a dapper tailc

Millie hesitated, feeling that her status made it inappropriate to dance with Sean. But he had already made his move, and everyone was watching. Some even started cheering.Since this was Sean's event, Millie knew she had to be courteous and avoid embarrassing him. In the crowd, some found the situation amusing, while others scowled, gripping their wine glasses tightly."Come on, agree to dance with Mr. Stringer!""Yes, Mr. String is so sincere! Who could say no to someone so genuine?"The crowd chimed in with their opinions. Millie stared at Sean for a while before finally agreeing. She raised her hand and rested her fingertips in his hand. In the next second, Sean's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he broke into a triumphant grin.Millie couldn't help but think he was somewhat childish. Was this all it took to make him so happy? He was nothing like Winston, who always kept his emotions hidden and rarely wore his feelings on his sleeve.Sean led Millie to the center of t

Before Millie could take a step forward, someone grabbed her arm from behind, and another arm wrapped around her waist. She spun around, only to have someone shove past her, causing her to stumble directly into another person's embrace.In a daze, Millie looked up quickly. When she saw who it was, her features drew into a scowl."Winston?" she exclaimed, her voice barely above a whisper but full of astonishment.Why Winston, of all people?He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you surprised to see me?"Millie was, of course, taken aback. She was supposed to be Sean's partner, so how had she ended up in the dance with Winston?She turned to look at Sean and noticed he was now with another woman. As Sean glanced her way, Winston immediately stepped in to block her view.Millie had no choice but to face Winston, a flicker of anger in her eyes. "Winston Greer!"He tightened his grip on her hand, moving closer with each step while pushing her further away from Sean.Just as she was

Winston lowered his head and said, "Go ahead and lash out if it makes you feel better."He didn't think a few insults from Millie would bother him. Considering how he had treated her in the past, he knew she had every reason to be angry."Cursing at you is too exhausting. I'd much rather beat you up," she replied with a sneer.Winston looked up and met her eyes. "Alright."If she wanted to hit him, he would let her. Millie was momentarily stunned. He had always been known for his pride and dignity. The Winston she remembered would never have agreed so easily."So, you're saying I can beat you up?" Her gaze bore into his dark eyes as she stepped closer.Winston nodded, never breaking eye contact. He had knelt and agreed to let her hit him. Did he really think she would let him off so easily?Millie wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of a quick resolution. No, she wanted him to feel the weight of his actions. She intended for him to experience her pain and every hardshi

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
