Winston's voice was hoarse as the liquor burned his throat. "Millie, we just missed each other. My mistake has cost us so many years. Don't let it happen again."Life is filled with countless intersections. Luckily, they were still traveling the same path. Yet, at the next crossroads, he realized that while he might still be present, Millie would not wait for him. From that moment onward, their journeys would diverge, taking them further apart until they would never meet again.Millie shook her head, looking unhappy and lost in thought.Winston positioned himself in front of Millie, holding her wrist to prevent her from leaving. He said sincerely, "Don't miss it again. Forgive me, Millie. We can build a wonderful life together. Millie, I promise to make you happy."However, Millie found it difficult to accept his sincerity. If he had expressed it during their three years of marriage, she might have been filled with extreme joy. However, that was no longer an option. Her heart h

It was a coincidence that they met at the bar. When Millie returned to her seat, Winston had finished all the wine. He had drunk quite a bit.Millie wanted to leave, putting her jacket on, but Winston grabbed her arm. The bar was dimly lit. She stood next to him while he sat. One was frowning, and the other smiled wryly."Am I just a stranger to you? I'm not even a friend? Millie, thanks for showing me how ruthless women can be," Winston said, looking up at Millie.Millie laughed, questioning if she was really ruthless. She felt compelled to tell Winston that his actions back then were even more ruthless."You never respected me when you were with Joanna. I still remember the moment you held her hand in front of so many people and declared that I meant nothing to you. You said you'd go to her if you had problems."She continued, "Have you ever reflected on how ruthless you were? Did you ever think about showing me any respect?"Millie could spend three days and nights discussing

The waiter was stunned, wondering why Millie returned after just leaving.Millie assisted Winston in exiting the bar just as a sharp gust of cold wind swept through, causing both of them to shiver simultaneously. Millie frowned and adjusted Winston's coat. The wind felt bone-chilling. Without hesitation, she called a cab and got Winston inside.She entered the cab immediately after him and said softly, "Redwood Residence. Thank you."The driver curiously glanced at Millie. Both she and Winston had been drinking and couldn't drive, so they needed a cab. Although they rarely used cabs, mentioning Redwood Residence always drew extra attention.Winston leaned back and looked at Millie. The car was going slowly. Noticing his gaze, Millie lowered the window to let in some fresh air to make him feel more comfortable.Winston drank a lot alone, especially after Millie's friends came over. His eyes darkened as he reached out to touch Millie, but he hesitated. He turned to look out the w

Millie pulled Winston to his villa and asked, "What's the password?""Your birthday," he replied casually.Millie gazed at him, feeling confused. She asked, "My birthday?""If not, Joanna's birthday?" He looked up, his eyes bloodshot and reeking of alcohol.Millie averted her gaze, lost in thought. When she and Winston were together, the password was always his birthday, 0982. Once, she asked him when her birthday was, and he answered quickly. The joy that filled her was indescribable.The door unlocked, and hot air rushed out. In the living room, loneliness and coldness awaited. Winston now lived alone in this big house, just like Millie had before. It was ironic. They never seemed able to live together.Millie tossed him onto the couch.He scratched his head and rubbed his forehead, trying to sober up. Yet, the harder he tried to clear his mind, the more muddled his thoughts became. Millie dampened the towel and threw it at Winston. "Wipe your face and pull yourself together

"It's late, and you've been drinking. It's not safe for you to go home alone." Winston got up, leaning on the back of the couch for support. He was clearly very drunk, struggling to stand steadily.Millie watched him and straightened her sleeves, saying, "Rest well. Don't worry about me.""Do you really have to go? You've lived here before. This place could always be yours…" Winston's voice grew increasingly profound.Millie quietly put on her jacket, indicating it was time to leave. She corrected him, saying, "This place has never belonged to me."She once felt like someone who had been forgotten, but now she felt like an outsider. This place had never truly been hers.Winston didn't believe it and stopped her. "Why are you so stubborn?"Millie glared at him in silence. She wasn't being stubborn. She was just recognizing the facts and knowing her position."This place was yours once, and it is still yours now. What do you mean that it never belonged to you?" Winston was baffled

It felt as though Winston had never truly known Millie at all.Millie bowed her head and cried, refusing to speak."Tell me. How can you get over it?" Winston gripped Millie's wrist and pushed her against the wall. He was determined to get an answer.He did everything he could do. His apology was meaningless. He offered to pick her up from work, but she declined. He gave her flowers, but she threw them away without a glance. Despite his attempts to reach out, she only distanced herself further. Ultimately, he learned a hard truth. When she was determined to distance herself from him, no amount of effort would change that."Millie, stop putting yourself through this. I know you love me." He took a step closer, cradling her face in his hands.She still loved him, and he was fully aware of it. Her disdain was merely an act. After seven years of loving him, she couldn't simply walk away.Winston frowned as he swallowed hard, his eyes brimming with tears. He had never cried in front

Millie was surprised by Winston's words, as three months were not a short time at all. She smiled wryly. "And how do you convince me you'll let go after three months?"Was that even feasible for Winston, a man who had just walked back on his words from yesterday? Millie had no trust in him whatsoever."Millie, I hope I'm not that untrustworthy in your eyes," he said indignantly through gritted teeth.She said nothing. Lowering his head, he said calmly, "My gastric is acting up. I'm not going to talk anymore."He had said and done whatever he could. The ball was now in Millie's court.Winston turned and made his way to the dining hall. The pasta had gone cold, which was rather fitting after he lamented about how he never got the chance to enjoy her cooking.He took his seat and ran his fork through the pasta. Millie watched him with a conflicted expression as she mused over his suggestion of the three-month agreement.Winston looked up with reddened eyes that were filled with pai
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 820
Winston didn't argue further. He was glad enough to have her stay over the night. At least, this was proof she wasn't entirely repulsed by him.Sitting across from Winston, who was eating the pasta, Millie texted Terrence to tell him she was safe and that she wouldn't come home for the night. While she was on her phone, she checked the news related to the lab.Winston ate at a snail's pace as he cherished each moment at the dining table with Millie. It could be the effects of the medicine or simply the hot pasta, but he felt much relieved from the gastric pain.Millie so happened to come across a friend's Instagram story on the app. The friend wrote, "The big boss might be on leave, but the assistant who took over was even worse than him!"The said friend was employed at the Greer Group. She asked Winston, "Have you stopped working?"He grunted. "Yeah. I'm taking a break. I'll be back after New Year's."She arched an eyebrow in amusement, finally understanding the length of his p

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
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1029
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
