"Are you complimenting me?" Winston suddenly felt like he turned into a fool in front of Millie.

He couldn't understand what she said anymore, whether it was good or bad things. All he knew was that Millie was in front of him, and simply seeing her made him feel content.

Millie could tell that Winston didn't seem to be in his right mind today. She wouldn't tease him anymore, then.

Soon, an attendant served the food.

The sound of the cello gently filled the room, and it sounded quite pleasant. It was a rare quiet night, and Millie had been tired recently. It was quite nice to suddenly enjoy this gentle moment.

Millie was about to slice into some foie gras when Winston handed over a small piece of steak. "Try it. It's delicious," he said.

Millie looked at Winston. He didn't make a move and just stared at her as she started eating.

Millie pressed her lips together, not feeling her spirits dampen at all.

The steak he gave did taste quite good.

Winston noticed she enjoyed it, so he

    Millie felt guilty, squeezing the orange in her hand so hard it was almost about to burst. She mumbled softly, "I mean, is it alright that Winston also came to the Spring Festival?"Layla placed the items on the table, then sat down on the couch and asked, "Why? Doesn't he have a home to go to?"Millie hesitated. That was a tricky question to answer."Got kicked out by the Greer family?" She eyed Millie with an intense gaze that was overwhelming and quite fierce.Millie didn't dare speak, but she still had to answer, "No."Layla gave a cold smile and immediately asked, "So why isn't he going back to his own home for New Year's Day and instead coming to ours? Is he crazy?""Grandma, he…" Millie wanted to explain."I don't agree," Layla stated flatly, dismissing any further explanations.Millie choked up and quietly looked over at Arthur.Arthur's expression grew more serious, as if he agreed with what Layla had said, and he turned his attention to the television."You're not e

The two of them stood gazing at each other from across a wide asphalt road.Millie walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"Winston pressed his lips together and didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her, "Why are you here so late?""I asked you first." Millie looked up at him, determined to get an answer."Just trying to revisit some memories," he said calmly.

You're not from the University of Yerwick, are you?" he laughed.Millie looked at him with a calm expression, as if nothing could really stir her interest."I have quite a few memories

    "Millie, you're delusional if you think I'll ever love you!"As he held her by the throat, he pinned her to the couch, his face filled with disgust as he growled, "I've had enough of you. If you don't start behaving yourself, I'm going to file for divorce within six months!""I-I didn't do it! Joanna fell into the pool by herself."Millie Caldwell's voice was feeble. She was soaked to the bone, and her frail body trembled.She was still reeling from the shock of falling into the pool."Stop trying to talk your way out of this. You've been Jo's friend for years. You know damn well she has a fear of drowning!" Winston Greer looked furious and threatening. It seemed like he was silently warning Millie that she would suffer badly if anything bad happened to Joanna. Millie was instantly convicted based solely on her long friendship with Joanna.Millie's eyes were glistening with tears, and a single tear trickled down her cheek. She was utterly heartbroken.She could hardly believ

    "Dad, you were right all along. Winston will never love me the way I love him. I've finally realized my mistake, and I'll return home now."Millie's hoarse voice echoed through the empty living room.Not only were the Caldwells the most affluent family in Lumina City, but they were also renowned for their medical lineage.Millie's grandfather, Arthur Caldwell, was a successful businessman, and her grandmother, Layla Cadmore, was a renowned cardiothoracic surgery professor. They were considered a match made in heaven.Millie had been studying medicine with her grandmother since she was a child. Layla had even said that she was a genius destined for the medical field!Her grandparents had laid the groundwork for her future, her father had amassed a vast fortune for her to inherit, and her mother had assured her that she could always live freely under her protection.Yet she sacrificed everything for Winston and reduced herself to this sorry state. At that time, she was very ideal

    Winston refused to believe it, so he searched every possible place for Millie.He had searched through the backyard, the study, and even the home theater. However, Millie was still nowhere to be seen, and even her belongings were no longer around.On the bookshelf in the study, Millie's frequently read medical books had also been completely cleared out.He hardly ever returned to the villa. With Millie gone, the place felt even more desolate.Winston made his way downstairs with heavy steps and noticed the empty space behind the couch. When he saw the damaged painting thrown into the trash can, his breath hitched.After they got married, Millie always pestered him to go shopping with her. Since he was always busy with work and somewhat disliked her, he kept making excuses to get out of it.Winston suddenly recalled that moment when it was Millie's birthday. She had come to the company and asked, "Win, can you spend my birthday with me? If you are very busy, half an hour is fine."

    Millie couldn't help feeling dazed as she stared at Winston, who led her ahead.Winston had done this back then, too. He'd held her hand as they escaped from those chasing after them. Millie wouldn't have fallen so deeply in love with him if he had treated her poorly in the past. She wouldn't have married him, even if it meant she'd cut ties with her family.But why was he here? And what was he doing now? Was he jealous because he saw her being close to another man?However, Millie soon brushed those thoughts away. After all, Winston was heartless and had never once loved her. Why would he be jealous?Millie felt herself get pushed into a washroom. The alcohol had taken over her body and left her slightly weak.With a stern expression, Winston pinned Millie against the edge of the sink. The washroom lights shined from above Winston. It blurred the outline of his features in Millie's eyes. Regardless, it wasn't difficult to see how attractive he was."We haven't officially got

    A banquet took place that night on the 33rd floor of Sablen Hotel. One could see the bustling night view of Yerwick City through the floor-to-ceiling windows.A pleasant piano tune filled the space as Millie leaned lazily against the bar before her. She swirled the red wine in her glass out of boredom while her striking eyes darted around.She garnered some heated looks from men at the event. They wanted to strike up a conversation with her but dared not do it.Millie wore a long black dress with spaghetti straps. The skirt part had some pleating that showed off her slim calves. Meanwhile, the dress flowed loosely on her body, perfectly highlighting her curves. Her curled locks cascaded down her back. It allowed her butterfly tattoo to peek through occasionally, captivating those around her.That was when her phone chimed. She looked down at it and noticed it was a text from Terrence. It read, "Have you made it to the banquet?"Sighing, Millie texted, "Yeah."Terrence had pic

    Eli nodded and said, "Okay."Winston asked him, "How's the matter I told you to handle?""Don't worry, Mr. Greer. We'll definitely get the bag that Ms. Caldwell likes," Eli replied with a smile.Millie couldn't help but feel sorry for Eli. It seemed that Eli really had a hard time.The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat quiet.Eli wanted the couple to talk a bit more, so he started a conversation by asking, "Ms. Caldwell, did Madam Layla and Mr. Caldwell senior give Mr. Greer a hard time?"Millie looked up and casually said, "Not really. My grandpa is in a good mood."Winston was shocked. "Huh? He was in a good mood?"How nice of them! They immediately kicked him out!"Does that mean Madam Layla isn't in a good mood?" Eli smiled.Millie quickly shook her head and said, "No, my grandmother was really polite and even told Winston to say less."Winston was speechless. Millie managed to make something unpleasant sound quite nice.She was quite good at keeping her reputation

    Winston was genuinely flustered. He probably never got this nervous, even when he was discussing deals worth billions of dollars.Millie poured him some coffee, gesturing for him to drink some water as well and to calm down a bit.Winston held his coffee cup and hesitated for a moment without taking a sip. He turned to Millie and asked, "Is there any hope for me?"Millie chuckled.Winston was actually a pretty interesting person when he was not being a jerk.Was there any hope for him?"I don't know," Millie said, shaking her head deliberately.A trace of frustration was evident in Winston's deep-set eyes. What did Millie mean by that?"Could you please say some nice things about me in front of Mr. Caldwell Senior and Madam Layla?" he asked as he sighed, feeling quite wistful.Millie looked down and said, "What good are nice words? Back when I insisted on marrying you, didn't Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Greer Senior also put in a good word for me?"He still was not listening to anyth

    Layla hummed softly to herself as she picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee."Mr. Caldwell Senior. Madam Layla. I'm sorry I'm only visiting you today." Winston started off with a very formal tone.Millie could really sense the disharmony between Winston and her grandparents."There's no need to apologize. We don't have any special relationship. Even if you don't come to see us, we won't say anything about it," Layla muttered.Winston choked up. She wasn't wrong."After I married Millie, I didn't visit you two. That was my mistake," Winston admitted.Layla, upon hearing that, set her cup down on the table with a sudden motion. He dared to talk about that matter? How dare he?Winston suddenly found himself unable to speak.Millie felt frustrated. Winston was really quite brave. He even dared to bring up the topic of marriage.It was a relief that Layla only set the cup down and didn't tell him to leave.It was clear that Layla was holding back her anger.The atmosphere su

    "Are you trying to provoke me?" Winston asked, his expression becoming serious.Millie shrugged, indicating she didn't mean anything by it.However, anyone with a keen eye could tell that she was trying to provoke him.Eli was quietly laughing to himself in the back.He felt relieved to see that the relationship between the two of them had thawed to the point where they could joke around like that.It seems that Winston wasn't deserving of death and still had a chance to save himself."I'm not using reverse psychology; think about it. Do you actually want to come in or not?" Millie shrugged and stood aside, inviting him in.Of course, Winston had to go in. There was no backing out at the last moment. Millie would never let him live it down if he did."I'm going!" he said firmly.Millie chuckled. "There's no chance of escaping now.""Just one thing," Winston said with a hint of pleading in his voice.Millie squinted at him with confusion,"When I can't handle it, please help

    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
