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, it's fine," Sean said with a smile, looking quite amiable. "I'm thrilled your parents want to chat with me. It's such a wonderful opportunity to get to know them better."Terrence crossed his arms and remarked, "Look, Sean seems perfectly fine. Why are you so worried?"Millie was speechless. How had she become the anxious one? What was there for her to worry about? But since Sean seemed to enjoy the attention, she figured she might as well let him have it."I'm heading out to pick up Rachel," Millie announced, grabbing her coat.Sean immediately rose and asked, "Where are you going? I'll come with you." "It's just outside. Stay here. I'll be back soon."Sean thought it over, and eventually, he nodded in agreement. While it might be somewhat awkward for him to stay behind, following Millie might be weirder."We'll get started on dinner once Rach arrives," Terrence told Rachel's parents.They quickly apologized, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting for her. We didn't mean to
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 626
The feeling was far from pleasant. Sean's presence only drew curious eyes, but Rachel's arrival stirred up more complex reactions. One, in particular, stood out—a jealous glare from the corner. Rachel spotted it in an instant. It was Everly. Everly couldn't hide her shock. Rachel was actually here? Had she already wrapped up filming?Meanwhile, Rachel hurried over to greet Terrence and the others. As soon as Julia saw her, she announced, "Time to eat!"Thomas had already set up the cake. Standing beside Rachel, Everly met her gaze and let out a derisive snort.Millie noticed and felt a surge of things she wanted to say, but none made it out. When would Everly stop acting like she was above everyone else? It seemed like there was no one in the world she actually respected.As Thomas lit the candles, Millie turned to Rachel and remarked, "By the way, the SUV that dropped you off earlier didn't look like yours.""Oh, it was Noah Payne's. We flew back together, and since my car

Right then, Rachel's phone buzzed with a new message. Millie caught sight of the sender's name while helping herself to some food."Jake?" Millie asked with surprise. She leaned in and lowered her voice. "Are you still in contact with him? Did you finalize the deal?"Rachel nodded. "Yes, I've signed the contract, and we've finished shooting the advertisement. The official announcement is coming soon." This meant Jake was now her financial backer."I really didn't want to sign with Jake, but there was no other option. You understand, right?" Rachel said, spreading her hands.Given how Jake had previously helped her, she knew she had to go along with it. After all, being in the entertainment industry, she understood how things worked. Besides, she feared he might be petty and could try to undermine her."So, now that he's texting you, you need to handle it with care," Millie remarked with a smile.Rachel sighed. "Don't get me started. I've noticed he talks a lot. He's quite the

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
