Millie gazed at the word count in the data column, then turned her gaze toward the window. Hank called her name multiple times, but it appeared that Millie was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear her. With no other option, Hank approached her and asked with a note of concern, "Ms. Caldwell, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to go home and rest?"His words pulled her back to reality. She shook her head, signaling that she was fine. Rubbing her temples, she said, "Why don't you review the data first? I'll head to the lounge for a bit."Hank nodded and watched Millie leave the lab. It fell silent, and Hank was curious about Millie's unease. After all, Millie had been deeply completely absorbed in the research lately. He wondered if Winston was the distraction.Millie settled onto the couch in the lounge, engrossed in scrolling through her Instastory. Just as she was about to swipe further, a message from Rachel popped up.She opened her message and frowned as she recognized th

Millie's presence would signify that there was still hope for him. Winston sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling exhausted. The company's and Selma's issues weighed heavily on him, making it hard to breathe.Winston's gaze landed on the coffee table beside him, where a jewelry box rested. This was the very gift he had chosen for Millie.A sudden knock echoed at the door. He was surprised. The waiter had just refilled his glass, and he didn't expect him to return so soon.Could it be? Winston rushed to the door and planned to open it himself. Just as he was about to call out a name, he overheard someone outside saying, "Mr. Greer."All the hope in Winston's eyes vanished in an instant. It wasn't Millie; it was the waiter.The waiter said, "Mr. Greer, a woman named Millie Caldwell called and has a message for you."Hearing that, Winston was confused."She mentioned that she's incredibly busy in the lab and that she won't be able to come. She wishes for you to take good care of y

When Winston spotted Millie at the door, he felt a mix of surprise and grievance. He was taken aback that she showed up but upset it took her so long to do so. He had never felt such a strong desire to have someone by his side, and Millie was the one he eagerly anticipated sharing his life with."You still remember to come?" He spoke softly, his hoarse voice evoking concern.Millie just looked at him calmly. Winston's bloodshot eyes showed his exhaustion from the past few days and his sleepless night. A profound sense of vulnerability washed over him. Dressed in a white shirt with a disheveled tie, he exuded a lack of energy. Yet, the astonishment in his eyes was unmistakable when he saw Millie."Mr. Greer, do you feel wronged?" Millie asked indifferently."Shouldn't I feel that way?" Winston responded.Millie chuckled. "Waiting for someone can feel eternal, but it's a necessary lesson in life. You should learn it."She provided Winston with a free lesson, which was undoubtedly

Winston was rendered speechless by her reprimand. After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke, "I believe you'll like this necklace."Millie remained silent as she observed Winston open the jewelry box resting on the coffee table. Upon glimpsing the exquisite piece within, she instinctively parted her lips to speak but quickly sealed them shut again. This was not just any jewelry. It was the stunning butterfly necklace showcased at Sean's exhibition. Butterfly…"You'll like it," he said.Millie looked at the necklace and felt mixed emotions. She felt appreciated that Winston remembered her love for the butterfly, not just because he bought it for her. Unsure of what to say, she glanced down."Millie, please don't be mad at me. I know I messed up before, but I promise I won't disappoint you again. Please give me another chance, even if it means starting over as a stranger."He wished to reconnect, become friends, and ultimately pursue Millie to be lovers. He hoped to have the cha

Winston turned to Millie and replied, "Grandma is critically ill again."Millie was baffled. She had thought Selma's condition was stable and couldn't comprehend why she had suddenly deteriorated to a critical state. Just before arriving here, she had visited Selma, who appeared to be fine."Would you like to go together?" Winston asked, sensing her concern for Selma's condition.Millie nodded, agreeing to join. Hence, he gestured outside. They got into the car one after the other. Millie hadn't been in Winston's car for a while. He fastened his seat belt, but Millie sensed he wasn't doing well.She glanced at Winston and remained quiet for a moment. Just as he was about to start driving, she said, "Let me do it."Winston was confused. "Hmm?"Millie stepped out of the car and circled around to the driver's side. She opened the door and gestured to Winston to exit. "I'll take the wheel."After a moment of contemplation, Winston agreed and then settled into the passenger seat.

Millie couldn't believe someone would provoke Winston like that. This revealed that this mastermind lurked in the shadows while Winston stood exposed in the light.Winston's expression changed when he saw the note. He gripped the note tightly, a piercing coldness settling over his expression. Yet, he hid his emotions from his family. He turned to Millie and asked, "Millie, can you stay with my parents?"Millie seemed to realize Winston's intentions. He might know who wrote the note. She nodded. "Sure."Winston looked at Millie and moved his lips as if he had something to express. Millie shook her head, indicating he didn't need to speak further. She understood his thoughts perfectly. She had repeatedly claimed to be the best person in the world to comprehend Winston. Yet, some simply refused to accept that truth.Winston hummed softly as he turned to walk away. With a complex expression, Millie remarked, "Winston, stay safe."Winston glanced downward and chuckled. Without l

Kennedy stared at Winston with a mix of confusion and frustration, exclaiming, "Fuck! What the hell are you doing here? Are you trying to cause trouble? Just look at how you've frightened my women!"The two terrified stunning women clung to Kennedy, seeking solace in his embrace, but he struggled to hold them close.Winston glared at Kennedy and approached him slowly, giving off a winter chill. His intense presence made it difficult to breathe. Kennedy frowned, recognizing Winston's seriousness.Winston fixed his gaze on Kennedy and asked in an icy tone, "Are you not aware of what you have done?""What did I do? I've been fucking spending time with pretty women here. What are you doing here?"After losing his goods and business partner, he decided to embrace a life of pleasure in Yerwick. He no longer cared about his business or the idea of revenge. Instead, he found it preferable to indulge in a life of luxury, even if it meant an early death. Ultimately, he understood that emb

"You're on your own now!" Winston exclaimed as he cast Kennedy aside, then left.Kennedy lay on the table, his mouth filled with a metallic taste and the scent of blood. He watched Winston leave and couldn't help but laugh, letting the blood trickle down his throat.He shouted, "Winston! I'll be watching you closely! You'd better not make any mistakes!"Winston remained silent, and his expression was cold.Kennedy gazed at the empty private room and then glanced at his own disheveled appearance. He couldn't help but laugh. Watching his family suffer was the hardest part. Now, it was time for Winston to experience the same pain.Moments later, Kennedy's demeanor shifted dramatically as he grew intensely fierce. He wiped the blood from his face and reached for his phone. Then, he searched for the two messages that awaited his response.A: "Let's collaborate. I'll make his life a nightmare. No need to rush your response. Just wait and see what I can do."A: "What do you think?"Af

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
