She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 697
Millie turned to look at Winston. "What?"He fell silent for a moment, then met her gaze and repeated, "I'm asking if you're leaving.""What, can't bear to see me go?" Millie responded lightly.They locked eyes as she spoke. It had been a long time since they had looked at each other this way. Yet, their gazes conveyed different emotions now.In the past, it was Millie who showed reluctance. Now, Winston's eyes revealed the same feeling. Where his gaze once held indifference and amusement, those emotions now appeared in her eyes."If I said I couldn't bear to see you go, would you stay a little longer?"Winston pressed his lips together as he watched the elevator numbers tick down. Before long, they reached the first floor.Millie glanced at him and chuckled. "That's not very convincing."Winston fell silent. He had never been good at begging. In his entire life, he had never had to.When the elevator doors opened, Millie noticed him clutching his stomach. With a sigh, she sai

With that, Winston walked over. Millie's tone was no longer gentle. Instead, it was cold and commanding.He couldn't deny the truth—she had indeed changed. It wasn't just her feelings for him that had faded. Everything had shifted drastically.After examining Winston, the doctor started an IV drip and repeatedly advised him to eat his meals on time.Millie stood by and listened without uttering a word. If Winston had heeded medical advice, he wouldn't have found himself in the hospital so often due to his stomach issues.As she set a glass of warm water on the bedside table, she looked at Winston's pale face and said, "Eli is likely swamped with work, so I didn't call him to keep you company. "I've asked the nurse to monitor your IV drip. I'm going upstairs to check on Grandma. You should be okay on your own, right?"Winston glanced at her, his lips moving as if to speak. He wanted to say he wasn't fine, but he didn't know how Selma was faring.So, he replied, "I want to go wit

Just then, the door to the ward swung open. Millie turned to see Gloria stepping inside."Where's Win?" Gloria asked. "His gastritis flared up. I just took him to the emergency department for an IV drip," Millie replied.Gloria paused for a moment, then let out a sigh. "He's always making people worry about him. Ever since he left you, his life's been a complete mess. Mills, I…"Her gaze lingered on Millie. There were so many things she wanted to say, but when their eyes met, the words seemed to vanish. A heavy silence settled between them, and eventually, all that was left was a deep sigh. Millie looked at Gloria, and a surge of sympathy she couldn't quite describe swept over her.Selma had fallen ill, Winston was wrapped up in his own problems, and Brian was buried in work at the company. That left Gloria to handle everything at home on her own. And she still had her job to worry about.Life was tough for everyone, especially adults. Millie felt for Gloria, so she decided to

Winston frowned, feeling a pang of annoyance. "Again? Which department this time?""It's still the Safety and Compliance Department. I heard they received orders from the higher-ups…" Eli's voice was urgent. "Mr. Greer, could you come back?"Winston glanced up at the IV drip, while Millie looked at him. It was as if she understood what he intended to do. "You haven't finished your IV," she remarked.Winston pressed his lips together. He couldn't wait any longer. "I'll come back to finish it."He then ended the call and began removing the needle. Millie rose, trying to stop him. However, seeing his determined actions, she withdrew her hand. She didn't want to overstep.Noticing her hand retract, Winston cast her a meaningful look. "I'll heed your advice. Once this issue is resolved, I'll make sure to take better care of myself."With that, he grabbed his coat and walked out, leaving Millie behind.She stared at the empty ward and chuckled wryly. Heed her advice? He had never

Terrence raised his hand and gave Millie a gentle tap on the head. "Hey! What kind of nonsense are you talking about now?"Millie grinned as she hugged his arm tightly. "Dad, I love you so much.""Yeah, right. You love me so much that you wanted to cut me off," Terrence shot back. It was clear that he was still holding a grudge.Millie pouted. "Dad…""Don't 'Dad' me! I was your father then too, but that didn't stop you from leaving. You only thought about coming back after he hurt you!" Terrence huffed.He couldn't even begin to express how heartbroken he felt. He had always put family first, yet his daughter had severed ties with him over a man. The disappointment ran deep."Dad, I was immature back then. I won't cause you any more trouble," Millie replied. She knew how much she had hurt him and vowed never to repeat that mistake."Alright, enough of that," Terrence said with a sigh, patting her arm. "Families are meant to be a bit of a bother. Just promise you won't complain a

"Yes," Millie confirmed as she and Terrence made their way upstairs."Would you like to go? I can get you an invitation," he offered, remembering her love for jewelry.Millie replied, "No, it's fine. Rachel's too busy to attend, so I'm going in her place.""Okay, is Rachel really that swamped these days?" Terrence asked."Of course. Do you know that she came back just for your birthday?""Oh? I thought she just happened to be around because she had some time off."Millie chuckled. "Let's just think of it that way then."…At the Aurora Jewels exhibition, Ivory was being interviewed by the media. The event was far more impressive than Sean's previous showcase.Clad in a black dress and a fur coat, Millie complemented her outfit with high heels that exuded both grace and authority. Since she was representing Rachel, she was determined not to embarrass her friend.Rachel had also instructed Millie to bid on any standout pieces to support Aurora Jewels. With the industry abuzz ab

"Congratulations on the exhibition, Ms. Knight," Millie said politely.Ivory smiled, just as courteous. "Thank you, Ms. Caldwell. I appreciate you coming.""My apologies for showing up uninvited. Since Rachel couldn't make it, I came in her place. I know I wasn't on the guest list, so I hope that's okay."Millie smiled pleasantly as she spoke. However, her words subtly pointed out the missing invitation while also explaining why she was there.Ivory felt somewhat awkward. She hadn't intended to invite the Caldwells, after all.Firstly, it didn't seem appropriate, considering that Julia was a well-known designer in her own right. Their areas of expertise were different—Julia was in fashion, while Ivory specialized in jewelry.On top of that, her relationship with Millie was somewhat complicated, and she had already invited Winston.So, after considering everything, Ivory decided not to invite Millie. Nonetheless, she showed up unexpectedly."There's no need for you to feel uncom

Natalie couldn't resist taking a jab at Millie. "I thought you had an invitation, but it turns out you're here as someone else's substitute. How pathetic!"Millie was fed up. "Natalie, just how much do you dislike me?"She couldn't understand why Natalie seemed to harbor such animosity. What had she done to make Natalie hate her? Everything she said felt like a personal attack.However, Natalie didn't respond. She simply sneered and turned away. Right then, Damien approached them. "Millie, you're here too," he said with a smile."Mr. Callister." Millie nodded and shook his hand.Seeing Natalie's grim expression, Damien could tell their conversation hadn't been pleasant."Natalie has a bit of a temper, so please bear with her," he told Millie, his worry for Natalie evident.Millie merely nodded. "I will. She's your relative, after all."Having said that, she shot Natalie a pointed look. It was as if she were trying to say that if it weren't for Damien, she'd have sent Natalie

"Maybe, there's a little bit of liking." Millie tilted her head, "Do you believe in genuine friendship between men and women?""Maybe…" Winston answered, sounding a bit unsure of himself.Millie pouted and mimicked his words, "Maybe…?"Winston looked down and said, "Maybe not."Millie nodded, saying, "But the feelings of the older generation are very genuine. Let them be. Grandma and Grandpa have a stable relationship, and that's what matters."Winston really couldn't agree more."Grandpa treats Grandma really well. Didn't I go grocery shopping with them yesterday? Grandpa is constantly looking out for her, and Grandma does the same. When she saw Grandpa nearly fall, the worry was all over her face… This is what it truly means to grow old together."He couldn't help but add, "I hope we can also make it to the end, Millie."Millie and Winston gradually walked down the alley.The two of them rarely had the chance to talk in such a calm and peaceful setting, so they both cherishe

Thomas said, "Please, have a seat. No need to stand on ceremony."Thomas figured he couldn't be too unwelcoming, could he? He needed to act more charming.After all, this was Winston's first time spending the Spring Festival with the Caldwell family, and it was entirely his own decision to come."Uncle Thomas, is there anything I can help with?" Winston asked.Thomas shook his head and said, "Just take a seat. Not causing trouble would be the biggest help.""Dad, come on. We're adults now, not kids anymore. Stop messing around!" Everly scoffed.Thomas squinted and smiled without saying anything. He set down his beer bottle and went back to his tasks.Layla went to put away her calligraphy and paintings, and she even posted an update on Instagram.Millie saw an Instagram post and couldn't help but smile. Layla really knew how to show off.Layla: "Today, I received "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott. I really like it. Thank you."Winston didn't have access to Layla

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
