As Millie and Marvin continued to text, there was suddenly a loud bang from the outside.Millie looked out and down at the people below. They seemed so tiny from her vantage point that she had to focus carefully to see what was going on.When she looked down, she suddenly noticed thick flames coming from a nearby building.The next second, someone shouted, "Whoa! The restaurant across the street just exploded!"Millie quickly turned around to look back. Huh? What exploded?"The gas tank exploded in the restaurant! My friend is inside!" An attendant's trembling voice shouted. Millie looked down again. The road was completely jammed with cars, and she wondered if the fire trucks and ambulances would be able to get through.Oh my goodness! How could an explosion happen all of a sudden? This was Yerwick City.Fire safety inspections were always very strict, and even the slightest issue could lead to a closure.Ding!Millie's phone suddenly rang.Millie took out her phone and sa

Millie glanced at the arm Winston offered and couldn't help but tease, "Should I take it?""If you don't want to, then let's leave it at that," Winston said before instinctively pulling his hand back.Millie smiled. Instead of linking her arm with his, she simply followed him into the venue.Jake was assisting by arranging for some of the elderly people to be sent off first.Winston quickly got involved in the evacuation as well.Millie saw that her parents were being escorted out by Eli.She briefly mentioned to them her reasons for staying, and after exchanging a single "Stay safe", the two of them left with Eli.The attendees of the annual gala began leaving in groups.Meanwhile, Millie had been keeping an eye on the situation below.The news continued to cover the story, and fortunately, the situation was now under control.There were only two casualties and no further deaths. However, the number of injured people had significantly increased.It just so happened to be th

"Not drinking?" Millie asked, noticing that Winston hadn't taken the drink for quite a while.Winston immediately took the water she handed him. As their fingertips touched, he noticed his fingers were cold while hers were warm."Is it that cold?" Millie asked him.He shook his head, took the water, and drank it with his head tilted back.Millie looked up at him. He stood there with his Adam's apple moving up and down, and his skin looked pale and smooth. He also had a jawline that was sharp and attractive. The warm yellow light above cast a soft golden glow around him, creating an indescribable feeling."Ready to go?" he asked.Millie nodded and followed him outside. As they passed by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, thick smoke was still rising, and the fire trucks remained on the street across from them. The scene appeared to be handled in a well-organized manner, and everything seemed to be returning to normal.It was already past midnight, and Millie stood by

Besides having a stunningly handsome face, what else did Winston have?Damn! How could Milie have been in love with him for so many years just because of his looks?She regretted it somewhat. She wished she had made a different choice in the past.Millie was feeling frustrated when the elevator suddenly shook.Millie looked up, and Winston did the same.The screen in the upper right corner suddenly flickered, and the elevator shook once more. Then it began to shake violently, and the elevator lights immediately went out.Millie and Winston almost simultaneously stepped back and pressed themselves against the elevator wall.Winston reached out to press every button for each floor on the elevator panel, lighting them all up. However, for some inexplicable reason, instead of stopping, the elevator started to rapidly descend!Millie felt her heart suddenly plummet. The free-falling sensation shot up to the top of her head, making her heart race rapidly.It was pitch black all arou

Millie held Winston's hand tightly, leaving marks on the back of it.Winston suddenly remembered the last time they argued, when she agreed to the divorce. He remarked foolishly about Joanna's fear of water, and she ended up pushing Joanna into the water.What did Millie say in response back then?She said she was also afraid of the water.Millie genuinely had a fear of water. It wasn't something she was pretending about. It stemmed from a time when she was rescuing someone and had nearly died during the incident, leaving a psychological scar.Winston couldn't help but feel foolish.The past haunted him. The more he remembered, the more it felt like a thorn in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. His guilt toward Millie grew to the point where it felt suffocating.Winston held Millie tightly. During January in Yerwick City, the places without heating were freezing cold.The elevator made a buzzing sound. The lights alternated between a dark red color and darkness. Mill

Millie nodded, saying, "Much better."She really didn't want to show that side of herself in front of Winston.However, the aftermath of plunging into the deep sea left her feeling completely helpless.She felt too suffocated.Millie was pressed up against the wall while sitting on the ground, trying to catch her breath.Winston adjusted her clothing. It was clear that Millie was trying to conceal her fear."What are you afraid of? I'm here. Why should you force yourself to hold back?" he asked. He didn't quite understand why Millie acted this way.Millie looked up and saw Winston's indistinct figure."I have to be strong on my own. You were by my side this time, but what if something like this happens again and you're not there?" Millie retorted.Of course, she could also just randomly grab a passerby and hug them. However, she didn't want to do that sort of thing. It was so embarrassing.It was better to resist it by herself so that the next time something similar happened,

Winston had just held on to the rescue team member's hand, but he hadn't managed to climb up yet.Suddenly, the elevator dropped, and the surrounding people let out a shout.Millie stood frozen in place. The noise from the ropes and metal cables was extremely jarring. Instinctively, she wanted to move forward, but Eli held her back by the arm."Ms. Caldwell!" Eli called out to Millie, indicating that she should not come closer. "It's okay. It's already on the fourth floor, so there's no need to worry!"She was still wearing Winston's coat, but her hands felt unusually cold.Eli quickly grabbed Millie, pushing her backward while keeping an eye on the elevator.Millie felt a lump in her throat and immediately asked, "What's going on?""To the server room!" someone shouted. A group of people quickly headed down through the emergency exit.Millie followed along, but her heels made it difficult for her to keep up.She took off her high heels in disdain and held them in one hand as

Winston's voice was deep and carried an irresistible authority.Millie rested her hand on his shoulder while Winston helped her put on her shoes.His touch was gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.His arm had started bleeding, yet he couldn't feel any pain at all.Winston stood up after he was done helping her put on her shoes."Mr. Greer, your arm… Do you need to go to the hospital?" Eli quietly asked from behind."Why go to a hospital for such a minor injury? I'll handle it myself when I get back," Winston glanced at the wound. He didn't consider it a big deal.Millie pointed to his arm and said, "Let me take care of it for you."Winston looked up at Millie with a questioning expression."Eli, go and buy some iodine and gauze," Millie instructed.Eli nodded and immediately went to get those items.There was no one else around, leaving behind just Millie and Winston.Winston knew that Millie was worried about him. He genuinely felt that his injury was worth it.Win

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
