Millie shrugged off Winston's words with a smile. Then, she went to the bathroom to wash up.Winston didn't further impose himself on Millie, and he left for the first floor.In the guest room, Millie tied her hair into a ponytail and slipped on a white dress. Looking ladylike, she went to the first floor, where she saw Winston fretting in the kitchen.She asked, "Is a sandwich and milk fine for you?""Of course." Winston couldn't have possibly complained. He was just glad to have someone preparing breakfast for him."Someone took photos of us when we got home. I called a friend to take the news down, but it didn't work. Mr. Greer, can you please take the news down?" she suddenly asked.Winston looked up in surprise. He brushed it off. "It's just a headline."She smiled. "But it bothers me that I was seen with my ex-husband instead of a new guy."She didn't mind being reported on if she were caught going to bars and having fun with a new lover. But being seen with Winston was n

Millie wanted the three-month agreement as a buffer between them. Eyes narrowed, she questioned, "Winston, are you threatening me now?""Just laying out the pros and cons of our agreement," Winston said.Millie laughed. He sounded exactly like he was getting ready to take full advantage. Despite her frustration, she unblocked his number."See? Happy now?""Do not unblock me before the three months are up," he warned, but she took it lightly.Soon, he sent her the digital copy of their three-month agreement to Millie. Without any hesitation, he addressed her in the manner of discussing an important contract, "The agreement will take effect after you sign here."Millie browsed through the clauses and found nothing wrong. It was a bet over three months. When the three months were up, Winston would stop pestering her if she refused to accept his feelings.To put it bluntly, it was a tug-o-war of love. The winner would be revealed after three months.She signed the copy without hesi

"Oh, don't worry. I dropped by just to visit Winston. Mills, you know he always gets wasted when he's out at business events, and it worries me to think he's living alone. I'm always scared something might happen to him!" Gloria laughed heartily, being in a good mood.Millie nodded and came down the stairs.Gloria sensed that they had used the kitchen, which added to her joy. "Did you make breakfast?"Millie replied, "Yeah. I have to go out later, and I need a quick bite.""Nice. It feels different now that there's a woman in charge of the household. Winston is lucky to enjoy your breakfast!" Gloria shot a look at his son. What a shame to have let go of a perfect wife like Millie!Every time Gloria thought about the divorce, she had the urge to yell at Winston. What a loser! She couldn't fathom what was on his mind. He had all the success in his career, yet his personal life was a mess."Right, Win?" She elbowed him, worried that he wasn't chiming in to praise Millie.However, W

Gloria suddenly asked Winston, "Aren't you looking after the company anymore?"He retorted, "Which one is more important right now—winning back your daughter-in-law or running the company?"Gloria smiled. Winning back Millie was, of course, her top priority. She suggested, "If you need help, get your dad to step in at work. He's free anyway. All he does is watch the news reports of the Lowell family at home."Then, she remarked while helping to clean up the living room, "The Lowells are in such a big mess, aren't they?"Winston stopped her. "Mom.""Yeah?""You don't have to clean up the living room."He preferred a bit of a mess for some liveliness, or the living room would appear lonely if everything was in perfect place.Gloria smiled, wondering if he had stopped her from cleaning because he wanted to preserve traces of Millie."Oh, you rascal! Your belated feelings mean nothing now!" She couldn't help but criticize him.Winston was nearly driven crazy by his mom's nagging.

Winston glanced up with a look of confusion. "What's wrong?""I ran into Mr. Caldwell at a meeting just now. He's bidding on a project, but he is missing some documents. If you show up now, you might be able to help him out."Someone called out to Jake in the background, and he promptly hung up on Winston.Winston frowned. What was going on? Jake didn't even mention what meeting he was at. Just when he was fretting, Jake texted him the coordinates of his location. Jake: "Come to the 13th floor of Nimbus Tower. Mr. Caldwell is bidding for a parcel of land in the Meilleur Group's second phase of development." Jake: "He's missing an annual inspection permit, and his competitor is desperately trying to undermine him. It'll be tough to win this project."Winston laughed. Oh, was this about the land in Meilleur Group's second phase of development?Jake: "You're old friends with the Meilleur CEO Sonny Maynard, aren't you? Just put in a word for Mr. Caldwell, and the problem will be

Sonny quickly reported, "We have Terrence Caldwell from the Caldwell Group and Kennedy Sullivan from the Sullivan Group."Despite having heard of Terrence's participation, Winston feigned a look of surprise. "Oh, are the Caldwells involved too?""Yes. Why the question?" Sonny asked with a smile."I've just had breakfast with Millie Caldwell. What a coincidence to hear that her company is in the bid."Sonny paused. Did Winston just have breakfast with Millie? Their dramatic divorce was public knowledge, and so was the news of Winston getting onto his knees in front of Millie.He thought about the relationship between Winston and the Caldwells, wondering if Winston had dropped a hint. Did Winston want the Caldwells to win or lose the bid?Confused by Winston's intentions, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Greer, how's your relationship with Ms. Caldwell recently?""I'm pursuing her," replied Winston, much to Sonny's shock.Winston explained, "I made some mistakes, and I regretted my acti

Everyone turned to Terrence, including Kennedy, who had predicted the outcome. Kennedy clenched his fist and snapped, "How is that fair?"Sonny shot him a puzzled look. "Mr. Sullivan, do you have any objections?"Since Winston was present, perhaps he could help resolve Kennedy's grievance. Kennedy looked at Winston with a snort. Oh, he wouldn't dare vocalize his dissatisfaction with Winston around. Even if he protested loudly, Winston would still get his way. How unreasonable!Winston pursed his lips and folded his arms on his chest. He scrutinized Kennedy with a malicious glint in his eyes.Terence shot up from his seat and pointed at himself in disbelief. "Did I win the bid?""Indeed, Mr. Caldwell. Your philosophy matches ours. We hope to achieve a win-win situation by partnering with you. Let's give our best, shall we?" Sonny replied earnestly.However, Terrence questioned, "But we—""Mr. Caldwell, we just got news that the Caldwell Group has passed all the requirements for

"The elevator's here." Winston pointed at the arriving elevator, signaling at Kennedy to leave.Kennedy was frustrated. He knew very well he was no match for Winston, yet he insisted on fighting back.Before he left, Winston said coolly, "Kennedy, you're a capable man. The Greer Group might be able to help you if you're willing to put aside your prejudice toward me."Despite Kennedy's competence, business was hard these years. He alone couldn't build an empire of his own.Though Winston had approached him with an offering of peace, he refused to accept it. He stepped into the elevator, adamant not to use Winston's help.Frowning, Winston let out a sigh. Whatever.Suddenly, he heard footsteps from behind. He thought it was Jake, but he turned to find Sonny with Terrence.Terrence looked overjoyed to win the bid. The Lowell Group had historically won these bids; companies like the Caldwell Group never stood a chance.It was at that moment he spotted Winston, whose expression fell

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
