Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 871 - Bab 880

Winston chose a warmer outfit for Millie. His voice was soft and calm in the quiet night. "I'll be waiting for you outside. Take your time and come out once you're dressed."Millie watched him leave, then closed the door. The room was silent except for her breathing. She held her phone and quickly changed her clothes. Winston's phone remained on the bedside table. Before leaving, she tidied the quilt and wiped up the water on the floor.As she stepped out of the room, she found Winston leaning against the wall. He was tall and slender. With his head bowed, he was lost in thought. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he seemed profoundly tired.Millie looked at him in the dark corridor, with only the phone's flashlight lighting up their figures.Winston glanced at Millie. Her hair was still wet, but her clothes fit her nicely. Although the clothes arrived in batches, he wasn't sure when she would wear them. Now that she was, he didn't feel happy. He felt like he was forcing h

"Never," Winston answered honestly."Where have you ever taken her before?" For instance, Harfush, a place she hadn't noticed before. She was very curious about how they dated for three years."I only ran into her in Harfush. I've never traveled anywhere with her." Winston even raised his hand as if to swear to this.Millie was baffled. "In those three years, you…""Nothing happened between us in those three years." He only spent some money and time."Joanna has been sent to a psychiatric hospital by you. What will you do next?" This was what Millie was mostly concerned about.Winston chuckled. "I'm keeping her alive for Logan's sake. Millie, I won't let her die. I'm going to make her endure the same pain you have experienced."This was his plan.Millie stopped asking questions. She had nothing more she was curious about."Then let me ask you a few questions." Winston looked at her intensely.Millie shrugged, gesturing for him to proceed."Since our divorce, have any of the

"Watch out. It's hot!" Millie swiftly snatched Winston's fork.Winston burned his tongue by taking a big bite all at once.Millie found his embarrassment incredibly funny. Thankfully, it wasn't served piping hot, or else he would have burned his stomach."Is it good?" Millie asked, her eyes sparkling with the hope of being acknowledged for sharing such delightful food.Winston frowned as he looked into her eyes. The taste was average, and he didn't really like it. However, he didn't want to upset Millie, who was looking at him expectantly. So, he nodded and replied, "It's good."Millie was left utterly speechless. "Just look at your face. It's clear you don't like it, and you're still lying."She took the pie back and ate it herself, using a new fork. She knew Winston well. He frowned when he didn't like something and was very particular about food."No?" Winston retorted stubbornly."I know you best," Millie said, causing Winston to fall silent.Indeed, she had liked him for

Winston meant that Millie could know everything he knew, so there was no reason to avoid her when speaking.Harriet gazed at Millie, tears streaming down her cheeks.Millie turned away as Ethan said, "Mr. Greer, Jo isn't our biological daughter. She was adopted."Millie immediately looked at Ethan.Indeed, Winston was unaware of this. When he heard the news, he was momentarily taken aback. Although there had been rumors about an adopted daughter in one of the esteemed families in Yerwick, no one suspected it would be Joanna, as the Lowell family had treated her so well."After Lou's disappearance, Harriett felt lost every day. The only reason she's still alive is that Jo was with her. Jo means everything to her, but now Jo… She can't live without Jo," Ethan pleaded, holding Harriet's hands tightly. They remained affectionate toward each other.Even so, Winston remained indifferent. He saw no justification for releasing Joanna. She must face the consequences of her actions."Mr.

Winston glanced at Ethan and Harriet, his eyes clearly telling them to leave.Ethan and Harriet weren't fools. They understood Winston perfectly. However, for the sake of the Lowell family and Joanna, they couldn't allow Winston to leave like this. Winston could let them visit today, but they might not see him again tomorrow. Despite Ethan revealing the Lowell family's secrets and wounds, Winston remained indifferent, which he couldn't accept.Ethan sweated profusely and suddenly fell to his knees, exclaiming, "Mr. Greer, please help the Lowell family!"Millie was distressed by the scene before her. She believed Ethan and Logan were kind, while Joanna and Harriet were the most annoying. Yet here was Ethan, desperately pleading with Winston just for Joanna's sake. Millie realized Joanna didn't deserve the love of her parents and brother. She didn't deserve the kindness of the Lowell family at all.Millie felt suffocated and breathless. She pointed outside and said, "I'll wait fo
