Chapter 621

Winston's eyes were dark and inscrutable as he gazed at Millie. His lashes lowered slightly, leaving only a heavy silence hanging between them.Millie was convinced he didn't know what love was and had no concept of guilt. He saw himself as above everyone else, so how could he ever believe that her suffering was his fault?Winston's repeated apologies were nothing but empty words. It was as if he were going through the motions without feeling."You've treated your marriage like you would run your company, strict and uncompromising. But marriage isn't all that; it's about building a home and nurturing it with care. "Your partner needs your empathy and love. A company is a battlefield, where strategy, outcomes, and profits matter, and employees just want their paychecks."Having said her piece, Millie let out a deep sigh, her breath visible in the chilly air. She didn't even feel the tear that escaped from her eye. She thought she had moved past crying over Winston and that miser

Millie clearly didn't want Winston to disturb Terrence. That was why she kept him from entering. "Mr. Greer," Terrence greeted politely as he quickly straightened up."Mr. Caldwell." Winston bowed and subtly wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. Terrence sensed something was off between them. He even noticed Winston's red-rimmed eyes. Nevertheless, he chose not to ask what had happened and focused on the moment."It's late, Mr. Greer. It's so kind of you to come by at this hour. Why don't you come inside?" Terrence offered, gesturing toward the house. Neither Winston nor Millie had expected this. They exchanged a look before turning to Terrence. "Dad?" Millie called out.Terrence calmly replied, "Just because you two aren't a couple anymore doesn't mean you can't be friends. Besides, Mr. Greer is the CEO of Greer Group. It's only right that we treat him with respect, don't you think?"His words carried an underlying message—Winston was being kept at arm's length. He woul

While Sean had expected to see Winston there, he was taken aback by how soon he was leaving. Could the Caldwells really be so unforgiving as to turn away someone of Winston's stature?"Sean, what are you doing here?" Millie was somewhat surprised. After all, she hadn't informed him about Terrence's birthday. With a hint of sarcasm, Winston answered her question. "Given that he's pursuing you, it's no surprise he showed up."Sean chuckled. "That's right. It's the perfect opportunity to make an impression. If Mr. Greer is here, how could I not come?"That was exactly what he was thinking. Coincidentally, it was also what Winston had in mind.Winston didn't respond as he noticed Millie's hesitation. Since it was Terrence's birthday, he didn't want to make things difficult for her or ruin the event. He resolved to be patient in his pursuit of Millie. As for her comments, he planned to remember them and adjust his approach accordingly.As the car pulled away, Winston watched the Ca

A tingling sensation spread through Winston's throat as he stared at the wall behind the couch. Once again, he found himself thinking of the sunset painting. He wanted to get another one to hang on the empty wall.Winston took out his phone and texted Eli, "I won't be going to the office tomorrow."Eli: "That's not feasible, Mr. Greer. You have two client meetings and two important conferences scheduled. You need to be there."Winston: "Reschedule them."After sending the message, he stared at his phone, noticing that the "typing…" indicator was still active under Eli's name. Annoyed, he tossed the phone into his glass of liquor. It seemed like the messages from the person he desired would never come, and the ones he did receive were from the people he didn't care about.Winston grabbed another glass, poured himself a drink, and took it upstairs. He opened the bedroom door to find the bed cold and unwelcoming. The closet and bathroom were spotless. Winston sat on the floor i

"Millie, it's fine," Sean said with a smile, looking quite amiable. "I'm thrilled your parents want to chat with me. It's such a wonderful opportunity to get to know them better."Terrence crossed his arms and remarked, "Look, Sean seems perfectly fine. Why are you so worried?"Millie was speechless. How had she become the anxious one? What was there for her to worry about? But since Sean seemed to enjoy the attention, she figured she might as well let him have it."I'm heading out to pick up Rachel," Millie announced, grabbing her coat.Sean immediately rose and asked, "Where are you going? I'll come with you." "It's just outside. Stay here. I'll be back soon."Sean thought it over, and eventually, he nodded in agreement. While it might be somewhat awkward for him to stay behind, following Millie might be weirder."We'll get started on dinner once Rach arrives," Terrence told Rachel's parents.They quickly apologized, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting for her. We didn't mean to

The feeling was far from pleasant. Sean's presence only drew curious eyes, but Rachel's arrival stirred up more complex reactions. One, in particular, stood out—a jealous glare from the corner. Rachel spotted it in an instant. It was Everly. Everly couldn't hide her shock. Rachel was actually here? Had she already wrapped up filming?Meanwhile, Rachel hurried over to greet Terrence and the others. As soon as Julia saw her, she announced, "Time to eat!"Thomas had already set up the cake. Standing beside Rachel, Everly met her gaze and let out a derisive snort.Millie noticed and felt a surge of things she wanted to say, but none made it out. When would Everly stop acting like she was above everyone else? It seemed like there was no one in the world she actually respected.As Thomas lit the candles, Millie turned to Rachel and remarked, "By the way, the SUV that dropped you off earlier didn't look like yours.""Oh, it was Noah Payne's. We flew back together, and since my car

Right then, Rachel's phone buzzed with a new message. Millie caught sight of the sender's name while helping herself to some food."Jake?" Millie asked with surprise. She leaned in and lowered her voice. "Are you still in contact with him? Did you finalize the deal?"Rachel nodded. "Yes, I've signed the contract, and we've finished shooting the advertisement. The official announcement is coming soon." This meant Jake was now her financial backer."I really didn't want to sign with Jake, but there was no other option. You understand, right?" Rachel said, spreading her hands.Given how Jake had previously helped her, she knew she had to go along with it. After all, being in the entertainment industry, she understood how things worked. Besides, she feared he might be petty and could try to undermine her."So, now that he's texting you, you need to handle it with care," Millie remarked with a smile.Rachel sighed. "Don't get me started. I've noticed he talks a lot. He's quite the

Out of nowhere, fireworks erupted outside the window. Everyone turned in surprise to see what was happening."Fireworks!" Everly exclaimed.She was the first to dash outside. As soon as she opened the door, she saw that it was indeed fireworks, and they were being set off close by.Terrence chuckled. "Fireworks are a rare sight in Yerwick City. What's the occasion today?"Upon seeing her father's joy, Millie's mood brightened. "It's your birthday, so it's a special day!"Everyone went outside. The fireworks illuminated the entire city in a dazzling, radiant spectacle.Millie tilted her head back, reminiscing about how much she had adored them during university. Back then, she always asked Terrence to buy as many fireworks as possible for New Year's Day. But as time passed, they had stopped being part of their celebrations. Perhaps it was because she had grown up. Millie reached out, trying to capture the fleeting brilliance of the fireworks. When they disappeared, she realize

With a sigh, Millie slowly picked up the pieces of jewelry from the floor and placed them back in the box.Seeing the jewelry, Julia crouched down and asked curiously, "Where did all this come from? Who gave them?"Surely, this wasn't meant for Terrence? Could it have been left behind by accident?Millie parted her lips slightly as if to speak. She brushed her hair aside, propped her head up, and stared at the jewelry box. Before she knew it, tears began to stream down her face.No one but her knew the significance of that jewelry box. And no one else understood the pain she had suffered in loving Winston. Millie gritted her teeth, trying to hold back her tears. But no matter how hard she tried, they kept coming. The pain was too deep.When she married Winston, the Greers went above and beyond with gifts for her. Despite Winston's indifference, his family treated her with great affection. Selma even prepared a special wedding gift—a jewelry box filled with 100 pieces of gold j

Millie's sobs grew more frantic. It was as if she intended to cry out all the sorrow she had ever felt.This wasn't just an ordinary jewelry box. It held all her dreams and misguided hopes about marriage. The pain from her setback was unbearable. She had given her all to Winston, so why had he made her suffer such a devastating defeat? If it was because he thought she hadn't been the one to save him, it made even less sense to her.Terrence, drunk and slumped on the sofa, heard Millie's cries and staggered over. At that moment, Julia was holding her daughter.Though Terrence had no idea what had happened, he knelt beside them and awkwardly pulled both women into his embrace. "T-This family… will never fall apart… I-I'm here…" His breath stank of alcohol, and he spoke with a slur, his eyes closed. Millie wrapped her arms around her parents. She silently vowed that after this, she wouldn't cry anymore. It was time for everything to end. Julia sniffled as she tenderly patted Mi
