She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 617
As the night grew darker, Terrence's birthday party was in full swing. A vibrant sign at the Caldwell Villa's entrance announced the special occasion. It served as a reminder that it was Terrence's birthday and a sign to guests that they had come to the right place.Millie, dressed in a casual white dress with her hair pinned up, was busy in the kitchen with Julia. The whole family was there, along with a few of Terrence's close friends, including Rachel's parents. Arthur and Layla sat on the couch, greeting and welcoming the guests as they arrived. Millie poured several glasses of water and handed them to Rachel's parents. Rachel mentioned she would be arriving later that evening. Her flight was scheduled to land at 8:00 pm, so she would likely get to the Caldwell Villa around 9:00 pm. Given how close she was to Terrence, always calling him by his first name, she was definitely planning to be there for his birthday.Hearing the doorbell, Millie glanced outside and announced,

Could it be that Millie wasn't a member of the Caldwells? Just as Everly was lost in her thoughts, Layla called out, "Evie, come here!"Snapping out of her reverie, she hurried over to Layla and asked, "What's wrong?""Who is this actor? The paparazzi caught you two together. Are you seeing him?" Layla asked, pointing to a news article on her phone. The headline read, "Dating Rumors Swirl as Noah Payne Drops Off Everly Caldwell Home."Everly's cheeks flushed. "Grandma, he's a famous actor. We're not dating. The shoot ended, and my assistant and I just caught a ride with him."But deep down, she liked Noah. He was undeniably handsome and always acted like a gentleman, both on and off the set. On top of that, he never cursed, didn't have any bad habits, had a strong character, and was well-respected in the entertainment industry.During filming, Noah always looked out for Everly. At any team gatherings, his presence gave her a sense of ease and security. How could anyone not be dr

Winston composed himself and said, "Millie, regardless of my status, I had to come today."He knew Millie didn't like him and that the Caldwells weren't exactly welcoming. Still, even if he couldn't get through the door today, he felt it was important to show up and prove he cared about Terrence's birthday."Yes, Ms. Caldwell. Since today is Mr. Caldwell's birthday, it's only fitting that Mr. Greer, as a younger guest, should be here," Eli chimed in, trying to smooth things over for Winston.However, Millie gave him a sharp look, clearly thinking he was being too meddlesome. Eli fell silent immediately.Winston then signaled Eli to leave the gifts and wait in the car. The latter nodded, offered a brief apology to Millie, and promptly left."Millie, I'll just drop off the gifts and exchange a few words with Mr. Caldwell before I go. Is that okay?" Winston looked at her again, his eyes pleading. Millie stared at him. For the first time, she realized just how persistent he was. Det

Winston's eyes reddened for a moment. He wanted to reach out and hold Millie's hand but couldn't muster the courage.As Millie looked into his eyes and felt his warmth, her heart was a whirlwind of emotions. She saw the helplessness in his gaze and caught a hint of tears.Winston's lips trembled as he asked with vulnerability, "Millie, do you hate me that much?"His voice was so soft it seemed almost ethereal, like a whisper lost in the breeze.The sorrow in Winston's voice only made Millie's smile softer. Yet, her response was harsh and unwavering. "Yes.""Do you wish I would just disappear?" Winston asked with a frown, his eyes betraying his inner turmoil. Millie looked up at him. She then bit her lip and nodded. Yes, she wanted him to vanish and stop bothering her."But Millie…" Winston called out softly. "From my perspective, am I not a victim too? If Joanna saved me, then I had no choice but to thank her, right?"He tried to explain. "Millie, I admit I was wrong. I don'

Winston's eyes were dark and inscrutable as he gazed at Millie. His lashes lowered slightly, leaving only a heavy silence hanging between them.Millie was convinced he didn't know what love was and had no concept of guilt. He saw himself as above everyone else, so how could he ever believe that her suffering was his fault?Winston's repeated apologies were nothing but empty words. It was as if he were going through the motions without feeling."You've treated your marriage like you would run your company, strict and uncompromising. But marriage isn't all that; it's about building a home and nurturing it with care. "Your partner needs your empathy and love. A company is a battlefield, where strategy, outcomes, and profits matter, and employees just want their paychecks."Having said her piece, Millie let out a deep sigh, her breath visible in the chilly air. She didn't even feel the tear that escaped from her eye. She thought she had moved past crying over Winston and that miser

Millie clearly didn't want Winston to disturb Terrence. That was why she kept him from entering. "Mr. Greer," Terrence greeted politely as he quickly straightened up."Mr. Caldwell." Winston bowed and subtly wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. Terrence sensed something was off between them. He even noticed Winston's red-rimmed eyes. Nevertheless, he chose not to ask what had happened and focused on the moment."It's late, Mr. Greer. It's so kind of you to come by at this hour. Why don't you come inside?" Terrence offered, gesturing toward the house. Neither Winston nor Millie had expected this. They exchanged a look before turning to Terrence. "Dad?" Millie called out.Terrence calmly replied, "Just because you two aren't a couple anymore doesn't mean you can't be friends. Besides, Mr. Greer is the CEO of Greer Group. It's only right that we treat him with respect, don't you think?"His words carried an underlying message—Winston was being kept at arm's length. He woul

While Sean had expected to see Winston there, he was taken aback by how soon he was leaving. Could the Caldwells really be so unforgiving as to turn away someone of Winston's stature?"Sean, what are you doing here?" Millie was somewhat surprised. After all, she hadn't informed him about Terrence's birthday. With a hint of sarcasm, Winston answered her question. "Given that he's pursuing you, it's no surprise he showed up."Sean chuckled. "That's right. It's the perfect opportunity to make an impression. If Mr. Greer is here, how could I not come?"That was exactly what he was thinking. Coincidentally, it was also what Winston had in mind.Winston didn't respond as he noticed Millie's hesitation. Since it was Terrence's birthday, he didn't want to make things difficult for her or ruin the event. He resolved to be patient in his pursuit of Millie. As for her comments, he planned to remember them and adjust his approach accordingly.As the car pulled away, Winston watched the Ca

A tingling sensation spread through Winston's throat as he stared at the wall behind the couch. Once again, he found himself thinking of the sunset painting. He wanted to get another one to hang on the empty wall.Winston took out his phone and texted Eli, "I won't be going to the office tomorrow."Eli: "That's not feasible, Mr. Greer. You have two client meetings and two important conferences scheduled. You need to be there."Winston: "Reschedule them."After sending the message, he stared at his phone, noticing that the "typing…" indicator was still active under Eli's name. Annoyed, he tossed the phone into his glass of liquor. It seemed like the messages from the person he desired would never come, and the ones he did receive were from the people he didn't care about.Winston grabbed another glass, poured himself a drink, and took it upstairs. He opened the bedroom door to find the bed cold and unwelcoming. The closet and bathroom were spotless. Winston sat on the floor i

Millie glanced at Winston with initial shock and disbelief in her eyes. Then a hint of amusement appeared, and soon she couldn't hold it in and broke into laughter."Haha!" Millie raised her hand and placed the back of it on Winston's forehead.He didn't have a fever, right? Why else would he go along with such an absurd request?"Winston, where's your self-respect?" Millie tapped Winston's head.Winston furrowed his brow, wondering what exactly self-respect was supposed to be. Was it something edible, or could he use it to pursue Millie?She wanted to hear him, so he just played along for her. After all, women only needed a little bit of coaxing."I have none. It's all gone. Maybe the dog ate it." Winston spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.Millie laughed and said, "You're being silly. Go help Grandpa put up the Spring Festival couplets!"Winston nodded. "Alright, let's get to work."Millie watched Winston as he bustled about, and a wave of emotions began

Winston nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma, I understand."Millie smiled warmly, unable to hold back her laughter. Layla was just so endearing."Alright, the lights are all set up. What's on the menu today, and who's cooking?" Thomas walked in casually.Everly took off her coat and saw that there was a painting in front of Layla."Oh, could this be something that Mr. Greer brought?" she asked. "This painting looks really expensive.""Mr. Greer, do I get a gift?" Everly couldn't help teasing Winston.Winston knew that this was yet another person coming to give him a challenge."Sorry. I didn't know you and Uncle Thomas were here, so I didn't prepare anything. If there's something you like, I can buy it for you," he offered."How hilarious! Do you think I can't afford it? Do I need you to buy it?" Everly scoffed.Winston smiled and said, "Yes, you can afford it, but there's always a difference between something gifted to you and something you buy for yourself.""Mr. Greer i

"Is this… a painting by Quentin Scott?" Layla asked, a bit incredulous.The Caldwell family held quite a respectable reputation in Yerwick City. Coupled with Layla's status, she was certainly not lacking in esteem.She wanted to buy this painting and had been trying to purchase it for over a year, but she still wasn't able to get it.The moment Winston nodded, she once again sensed the disparity between the Caldwell family and the Greer family.Although they didn't disagree that Winston wronged Millie, the truth was that they did have a good sense in their choices."Grandma, this is a painting by Quentin Scott. I bought it directly from Quentin Scott's assistant myself. It's absolutely genuine." Winston nodded, his demeanor gentle and well-mannered.Layla had thought Winston might give her something she liked, but she never expected that he would actually give her the painting "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott!Layla couldn't help but stand up and approach Winston.

Winston had already decided to humble himself completely to make sure his wife remained happy."Go on in," Thomas finally said.Millie and Winston went inside, where Everly was crouching next to Arthur, working on the lights with him.Winston put down the gifts he brought and asked, "Can I help with anything?""Ah, Winston, you're here. Come on in and warm up a bit." Arthur smiled and didn't say anything more.Millie nodded, indicating that Winston should go in first.Thomas and Everly stayed outside working on the lights while Millie, Winston, and Arthur went inside the house.In the living room, Layla was eating chips and watching TV. When she saw that Winston had arrived, she remained expressionless.Millie glanced cautiously at her grandmother with a gentle expression."Grandpa, I brought some good coffee beans." Winston placed a gift box on the coffee table.Arthur chuckled and said, "You didn't need to bring any gifts. You already brought plenty last time."The last gi

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
