Chapter 646

Author: Gina Cinq
Jake was furious. The two looked at him, but no one said anything. He was very conflicted.

Sean looked at Winston and said, "It's hard to control feelings. I simply felt drawn to her and decided to pursue her. Even before becoming Winston's ex-wife, Millie is simply Millie."

Hence, he had every right to pursue her, even though he was Winston's friend.

"What about our friendship?" Jake cared about this the most. He wanted to know what would happen to their friendship now that Sean liked Millie.

Winston quickly replied, "I don't mind."

Jake was upset. He couldn't believe that Winston didn't care. In reality, Winston was actually very calculating. He definitely cared about it, even though he didn't always show it.

"Sean, you're right. Millie is my ex-wife, but she's also just Millie."

Therefore, Winston wasn't angry about Sean pursuing Millie. However, Jake was correct about their friendship, as it might inevitably become complicated.

"Let's play fair," Winston said, frowning at S

    "Excuse me, Mr. Webson and Ms. Shaw." Someone approached them and asked politely, "Can we take a picture together?"The two nodded. "Sure."Only people of high status were able to attend the party. Hence, it was expected when they were asked to take a photo together.Millie saw them taking photos with others, so she went somewhere else to sit alone. She had come mainly to understand Jake's intentions. Rachel was carefree and couldn't tell if someone liked her unless they said it directly.Winston and Sean wanted to approach Millie when they saw her sitting down.Millie could sense two pairs of eyes staring at her, distinctly different from the others around. When she glanced over, she noticed that Winston and Sean were both watching her intently while taking their drinks.Millie didn't like feeling like prey. Instead, she wanted to be a hunter and find her own prey. So, she started searching for her prey in the field. After looking around, she noticed that the three most distin

    Millie was stunned. Then, she sighed while holding the glass."I have a lot to handle right now. Currently, my grandma's health isn't in the best condition. If I don't take over her research lab, she won't be able to focus on recovery. On a separate note, my dad is currently in good health and fully capable of managing the company.""Last night, I was heartbroken to see your grandma unable to move her arm. She's always been so resilient. It's hard to believe she's struggling with her arm." Rachel was truly distressed.Millie was greatly concerned for Layla. It wasn't just the loss of feeling in her arm that troubled her. What really distressed her was that Layla had only cried once since the incident occurred, and hadn't shown any sign of distress thereafter. She carried on as if nothing had happened, and her composure was quite alarming.Layla was undeniably strong, but Millie couldn't help but wonder if she was truly as strong as she appeared. Perhaps Layla's inner struggles we

    "What's the problem? Celebrities and wealthy businessmen make a perfect match, don't you think? I've seen romantic dramas that illustrate this kind of relationship. Celebrities and bodyguards, celebrities and the handsome son of the nanny, celebrities and…"Rachel rolled her eyes just as Millie was about to finish speaking, causing her to let out a chuckle."Just kidding! I actually don't want you to be with someone of high social status like Jake." Millie glanced at Jake, knowing he couldn't provide enough time to be with Rachel. She was immersed in her work, and Jake was also occupied, which made their opportunities to see each other scarce.There was another crucial aspect to consider. Rachel and Jake had many admirers, but they came from different backgrounds. Jake's admirers were wealthy socialites or business partners, while most of Rachel's admirers were celebrities. Although they appeared to be compatible in many ways, they were not compatible in numerous areas."Mills, I

    It was a party, so Millie thought it would be fine to have one glass of wine. She contemplated it and concluded that one glass wouldn't hurt. Hence, she raised her glass and clinked it with Rachel's.In the end, one glass quickly led to another. At that moment, Millie had already had three drinks. "Another one, please."Rachel suddenly regretted asking Millie to drink. If she had known, she would have let Millie drink the juice.After Winston returned from taking a call, he noticed Millie requesting a drink from the bartender. Then, Laura urgently summoned her, who promptly instructed the bartender not to serve Millie. After that, she went to the backstage area.Although Millie wasn't excessively drinking, she found her appetite for alcohol stimulated and desired a few more glasses. However, Rachel intervened to prevent her from drinking any further. Thus, she stopped drinking. Millie gazed up and twirled on her bar stool. Life would be dull if it revolved solely around eating

    "Can we still be like in high school? You're always there for me when I'm hurt." Winston knew she didn't want to hear this, but he felt the need to say it.Millie revealed her true feelings to him, yet he never confessed to her. He never found the courage to tell Millie that he loved her."Millie, you can still be yourself and stay happy. Please come back to me, okay?" He wanted to touch her, but his hand stopped midair when she turned to look at him.The emotion reflected in her eyes was so unsettling that it left him uneasy and helpless. His love for her was like a hesitant hand reaching out but afraid to make contact. He found himself increasingly concerned about Millie's feelings and the way she gazed at him. He felt utterly powerless."Back to you?" she repeated softly."Do you really believe a broken heart can be fixed with just a few words?" Millie asked, gazing into his eyes. She saw love in his eyes but felt none in her own."If I come back to you, it will only be for

    Jake had seen many sides of Winston but had never seen him so desperate and begging like this. He was even ready to transfer all 15% of his shares to Millie. He even asked about what else she desired.This revealed a different side of Winston to him. He was genuinely serious this time. It made Jake realize that sometimes, the things one couldn't have were the most valuable."Winston, go home and rest early." Jake was unsure how to comfort him. The dynamics between Winston and Millie were incredibly complex, leaving him with the impression that this situation would linger for some time.He added, "I think you're too tired lately."Winston sat on a bar stool, his eyes reddening. He seemed less carefree than before. He once had a strong presence that kept people away. However, he now appeared lost and difficult to read."Honestly, it's draining to not have situations under my control," Winston said sincerely.He had always been accustomed to having complete control over everything

    Winston stood there, swirling the wine in his glass before downing it. He then grabbed the coat beside him and said, "I wish you and Rachel a successful partnership. I'm heading back now."Jake turned to see only Winston's back. It appeared that he had lost weight recently. He no longer looked as robust as he once did.Winston left the hotel and was surprised to see it snowing in Yerwick at the end of November. Snowflakes landed on his black coat as he walked down the steps. The surroundings were white and beautiful. In the distance, Eli waited by the car for him to get in.Winston was about to leave when he noticed a slim figure nearby. Eli glanced over and noticed it was Millie, crouching with snow in her hands. Her jacket lay on the ground, and she wore only a dress. Her hair was tied up, and her ears were red from the cold.Winston frowned. She always behaved this way. She always wore thin clothes to play in the winter snow and went barefoot in the summer rain. Deep within her,

    Winston was left speechless, holding back the words he wanted to say. He knew he had no right to ask the question.A horn sounded from behind. Millie turned and spotted Marvin arriving to pick her up. Without a glance at Winston, she hurriedly got into the car.The car's headlights cast a bright glow on Winston. Millie entered the car and gazed ahead. He stood tall and fit, bathed in light that created a soft halo around him. Though she couldn't see his face well, he seemed like someone out of place, someone she couldn't grasp or hold onto."Boss, has Mr. Greer lost weight?" Marvin teased her while reversing the car.Millie rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the softly blurred figure. Then, she asked, "Do you think I've lost weight lately?"Marvin glanced at her gently and remarked, "You've also lost weight. You must have been working exceptionally hard in the research lab.""Since I've been so busy, why don't you be my assistant and help me with the work?" she asked, glaring

    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
