Chapter 982

Author: Gina Cinq
Winston felt embarrassed and apologized, "I'm really sorry. I was being inconsiderate."

He glanced again at Millie and apologized once more before leaving.

Millie looked at the back of Winston's figure and grasped Elliott's arm a bit more tightly.

It was a good thing Elliott came, otherwise she wouldn't have known what to do just now.

"If he wants to take a photo together, just go along with it. It's not noticeable," Elliott quietly suggested.

Millie shook her head and said, "When you freeze a moment in a photo and take a closer look, there's always something that gives you away."

Elliott laughed and said, "Boss, you're really cautious."

"Hey! If I had known they were coming, I wouldn't have come!" she lamented.

If Milie's disguise got exposed, it would really be a disaster beyond her control.

Elliott glanced at Millie with a hint of melancholy and asked, "Boss, isn't using too many aliases a bit troublesome? It's quite nerve-wracking to go out every day using a different alia

    Winston had a complicated expression as he pushed the door open and walked out.Jake quickly followed and asked, "Winston, are you going to find her? If she really is Millie, why didn't she say hello to you? Maybe it's not her. Maybe we're just overthinking this, huh?"Jake expressed his confusion over and over while Winston remained silent.They had just stepped out of the building when they ran into Elliott coming in their direction.Elliott looked at Jake, and Jake looked back at Elliott. Elliott gave him a calm smile and then went inside the building.Winston turned his head to look at Elliott, who was walking away. Jake followed his gaze and asked, "Do you know him?"Winston pursed his lips and, in a low voice, asked, "How old do you think he looks?""Definitely younger than the two of us," Jake said. "Probably a college student."A college student?"What age do you think that woman looked like?" Winston asked.Jake chuckled. "I didn't see her face, so how would I know?

    "Just watch the race properly! Stop flitting around like a butterfly. It's really worrying!" Jake grumbled.Winston looked at Jake with a meaningful expression.Jake met his gaze and fell silent. Winston clearly had the intention of wanting to kill him.Jake chuckled softly.Winston huffed. "Annoying.""Hey, we've been friends since we were kids. It's not like you just met me today." Jake walked over, casually draped an arm over Winston's shoulder, and let out a lazy yawn.The race on the track was intense, and before anyone realized it, several laps had already been completed.Winston looked at the big screen. There was still a defending race happening, which meant Seven hadn't taken the stage yet.Ding!Winston's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone; it was Selma calling.He turned around to take a phone call. "Why are you still up so late?" Selma asked.Winston replied, "Grandma, I had free time tonight, so I've come out with Jake to watch a race. What's up?"Win

    The match ended at 2:00 am.Everyone was thrilled and excited about Seven's arrival.Seven left the scene quietly, but everyone found out that the woman earlier was actually Seven. The match ended, but many people stayed just to catch a glimpse of Seven!After Millie finished her race, she was taken to an employees' office by Marvin and Elliott.The stands were still crowded with people, and they couldn't just leave yet. Millie stood out so much that she would be immediately noticed if she tried to leave.They had to hide away for now.What else could she do? People who had many aliases lived just like that. They looked impressive on the outside, but in reality, they had to sneak around doing a lot of things behind the scenes."Boss, wasn't today awesome?" Marvin was still watching the video replays on his phone. He had recorded a lot of exciting videos when Millie was competing earlier.When he got home, he planned to post some amazing captures on M Base's social media account

    It was Winston who stood at the door…Oh God!Winston glanced at Millie, noticing she was wearing the exact same outfit, and frowned.Rachel was shouting on the phone, "Millie, Millie, Millie! Why are you showing me your clothes?"Could it be that jerk Winston has come looking for you?"Both Millie and the "jerk" outside the door were speechless.Millie quickly ended the call and hung up on Rachel. She turned back to the couch and sat down. She crossed her legs and folded her arms across her chest, then looked at Winston.Winston had thought that the woman resembled Millie, but he never considered that the woman was actually Millie!"Seven…" he slowly began as if he had been contemplating for a long time.Millie immediately retorted, "Not me.""Not you?" Winston laughed.At that moment, Elliott's voice came from outside the door. "Boss, we can head out in a bit—"Elliott found himself locking gazes with Winston right before finishing his sentence. He found himself at a loss

    The night was dark, and there were hardly any cars on the road.Millie sat in the passenger seat next to Winston. She rested her head on her hand as the light from her phone softly illuminated her face.All the trending topics were related to Seven. Millie scrolled through all of it and took a moment to admire her own skills.In the quiet car, Winston asked, "How long have you been doing this?"Millie looked up and thought for a moment. "18 years old. I started driving as soon as I got my license.""When did you stop?" he asked again.Millie pursed her lips and said calmly, "You said you liked the obedient ones."As soon as she said those words, Winston looked at her.Millie also looked at him. Their eyes met, and both of them had calm gazes.Winston felt calm because he wasn't sure how to face the situation. "You liked the obedient ones," Millie had said.Meanwhile, Millie was calm because she had long since lost much of her emotional response in front of Winston."So you h

    Millie nodded. "Yeah." Wasn't it just too sudden?Winston remained silent. After a moment, he asked, "Are you scared? Would you like me to keep you company?"Millie looked intently at Winston, puzzled. He wanted to keep her company?"I wasn't afraid at first. But after the way you put it, I feel a bit scared now." Millie smiled while politely declining his offer.Winston pressed his lips together, feeling like he was being viewed as a creep.He didn't mean anything by his offer, but he felt as though Millie misunderstood him. He genuinely didn't want her to feel scared.The car drove back into the city, Winston slowly started to say, "By the way, Grandma said—"Millie, who was looking down at her phone, suddenly said, "I've got a busy day tomorrow.""Hmm?" Winston looked over at her as the traffic light ahead turned red."The research lab has made new progress, and we need to hold a review session with everyone involved. We'll also take this opportunity to plan for next year,"

  • She's Out of Your League Now   Chapter 989

    The research lab had started working on their year-end review, and Millie was fully dedicated to her work.In her free time, Millie visited her grandparents. Layla, despite having an issue with her hand, remained deeply concerned about the research lab. Each time Millie visited, she updated Layla on the progress of the research lab.Each time, Arthur would say, "Oh, when Millie comes over, let her relax a bit. If you're always talking about work, she will get tired too!"Layla would always retort, "What do you know?"At this point, Arthur would quietly refute, "Yeah, yeah. I don't understand. Only you do."Even though they were always bickering and arguing, their feelings for each other remained as strong as they had in the beginning.Every now and then, Layla would blurt out something like, "If I can't talk to her about this, what else can I talk to her about? I mean, I can't really ask her about relationship stuff—hers is a complete mess."At that moment, it wasn't Arthur who

    Millie felt embarrassed by her slipup."It's really hard to see you even once," Winston complained. Yesterday, he even went to the research lab, but the staff there said she was out on some work.Millie walked with her head down, staring at the ground.Amidst the quiet, she suddenly heard Winston ask, "When are you coming back?""I want to spend more time with my grandparents."Winston was silent for a few seconds.Then, as if he had made a decision, he said, "Then I'll come to see you and also visit your grandparents."Millie looked up with surprise."Why would you? Aren't you worried they'll just criticize you? It'll just be awkward if both of them confront you." Millie was still somewhat hesitant.Then, he asked, "Haven't I been embarrassed enough in front of you?""No… I…"Millie was at a loss for words.Her malice toward Winston was the greatest in the world, but others at least showed him a bit of courtesy.Millie definitely wouldn't do that."I'm on my way," he sai

    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

    "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
