"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

Millie arrived home and hurriedly jumped onto the bed, leaving her bag and slippers aside. Taking a deep breath, she rolled over to gaze at the ceiling, instinctively rubbing her face. Winter had arrived, and the chill was settling in.It was after 10:00 pm, and snowflakes danced gently outside. After a hot shower, she felt wide awake after her skincare routine. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Hence, she made her way to the study and powered on the long-forgotten computer.She logged into the M Base system and was greeted with a flood of emails. It was so overwhelming that she couldn't possibly read them all. Many people reached out, hoping she'd return, participate in activities, and attend events.Millie despised revealing her identity. M Base operated like a black market. It was a platform to sell and buy work. However, exposing her identity was utterly out of the question. M was an incredibly influential figure. If she were to show up, it would send everyone into a frenzy.Si

A notification appeared as soon as Millie's account came online. A shimmering golden banner gradually illuminated the top of the forum. "Jewelry designer Butterfly is online."In just a moment, many people rushed into the jewelry section, each eager to share a post. Millie didn't refresh for just ten seconds, and the updated posts had jumped to over a thousand. She was surprised to realize she still held so much influence after three years.Soon, Millie received a message from Marvin. "Boss, why didn't you inform me beforehand about your visit to the M Base forum? I'll have Drew boost the server. The design section is in complete chaos now."Millie was left speechless. All she wanted was to log in and take a glance, but she completely forgot the online notification.Millie replied, "Marvin, please ask Drew to disable the online notification for my account."Logging in with her primary account in the future would pose significant challenges. The M Base forum was mysterious, requiri

Millie arrived at the research lab after 10:00 am. The unexpected heavy snowfall enveloped the city, casting a chilly ambiance throughout.Wrapping her arms tightly around herself, her two dark circles revealed her fatigue. As she gently massaged around her eyes, Natalie entered with some documents. Noticing Millie's exhausted appearance, she couldn't help but mock her."You may be in your 20s, but you already appear to be in your 30s. I can't even imagine how you'll look when you actually reach your 30s," she remarked sarcastically as she set her things down.Millie felt exasperated with Natalie, finding her quite annoying.She opened the file and sneered. "People in their 30s have their own way of living, but regardless of my age, I surpass you. Natalie, focus on yourself and stop fretting over matters that aren't your concern."She subtly indicated to Natalie that her appearance was irrelevant to her and urged her to mind her own business.Natalie snorted coldly and fell silen

Gabriel was upset. "Millie, we were hired by Professor Cadmore."Millie asked, "Isn't it common to replace disloyal soldiers when a new commander takes charge? So what if Professor Cadmore hires you? Would you be so negligent if she were here? Who do you think you're trying to intimidate?"Millie confronted him coldly. Her presence was so commanding that nearby researchers didn't dare argue. Some even quickly put on their coats and started working."Who are you trying to fool? I've been in this lab longer than Professor Cadmore!" Gabriel expressed his frustration. He held a significant position and was convinced that Millie would never have the audacity to dismiss him."I have every right to fire you. No need to threaten me."Gabriel sneered. "Who could possibly take my place if you fire me?"Without hesitation, Millie gestured toward Natalie and asked, "How about the postdoc who has just returned from studying abroad taking your spot?"Natalie was taken aback when Millie pointe

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
