"Harfush is a dangerous place. I don't wish to get into gang fights with my son around. I want to raise Hayden well," explained Enrique.Millie grew confused. "How did you get hurt in Yerwick? From the looks of it, someone had stabbed you."Did Enrique escape to Yerwick after getting into trouble in Harfush? Perhaps his enemies had chased him all the way from Harfush to Yerwick.Enrique said, "I guess the attacker looked down on people from Harfush."She smirked. Enrique came across as a shady man. At least, he wasn't as likable as Hayden.He spoke up. "How much was my hospital fee? I'll pay you back."She shook her head. "It's fine. It's fate that brought us to your son. Just see it as our gift for Hayden."Enrique flashed her a bitter smile, thinking, "These rich ladies and gentlemen from Yerwick are certainly a different breed. How could they brush off the expensive hospital fees as a mere 'gift' for Hayden?"Winston broke the silence. "Do you need any help in Yerwick?"Enr

Going onto one knee felt like a marriage proposal. Winston hadn't gone down on one knee before Millie, but he did go onto both knees…"That's enough," Millie interjected, which broke his heart a little.He knew it. She still refused to open her heart to him.He respected Millie's choice, but Hayden grabbed Millie's arm, pinning her to the floor. He pleaded adorably, "Please don't! Mr. Greer hasn't put the ring on your finger!""Mr. Greer and I are not husband and wife. We can't wear wedding rings," explained Millie."But he loves you, and he's trying to win your heart. Why don't you give him a chance? Did he do something unforgivable?"That was a great question. Still, she tapped him on the head and remarked, "Little boy, you're acting beyond your age, and that's not healthy!"Clutching Millie's arm, Hayden urged Winston, "Mr. Greer, go! She's ready!"Even if Millie hadn't been ready before, she must have been more than ready now. Millie was stunned by Hayden's move. He and W

"That was you as a kid, huh?" Winston chuckled.Millie shot him a sideways glance. What was that supposed to mean? Wasn't he always greedy for food and playing around when he was little?"I was even smarter than him when I was younger," he added smugly, raising an eyebrow.Millie pursed her lips and huffed. A flicker of annoyance crossed her eyes, though a playful sulkiness lingered in her expression."So, are you saying I'm the idiot here?" she asked.Winston squinted, a smile tugging at his lips. He couldn't help but find her adorable, especially when she said things like that. It made her even more endearing. "You're not. I'm the idiot," he replied with a hint of resignation. Millie quipped, "You don't sound too eager to admit that.""Why wouldn't I be?""Oh please, you're not thrilled at all. Sure, you're smart. I'm not trying to compete with you. I had a happy childhood anyway.""Mine wasn't so bad either," Winston countered.Millie didn't respond. She didn't feel lik

Millie returned to her office with the bouquet. She snapped a picture of it but didn't send it to Winston. Instead, she posted it on Instagram with a simple caption, "I love it."It didn't take long for the comments to start pouring in. As Millie scrolled through them, she spotted one from Winston's verified account. "What do you love?"Millie smiled. What did she love? The flowers, of course.Millie: "The flowers."Winston: "And the rest?"Millie: "I gave them away."Almost immediately, her phone buzzed with a message from Winston. "You gave everything away? All of it except the flowers?"Millie: "And what about it?"Winston: "Millie, do you even know how hard it was to get those bags?"Millie: "Are you feeling a bit hurt?"Winston: "It's not that. I just thought you'd like them. I went out of my way to ask about what women like. I didn't expect you not to care at all."Millie narrowed her eyes, leaning back in her chair and spinning slowly while tapping her phone absentmin

Millie cooked with focus, and before long, the mouthwatering aroma of food filled the house. For the first time, Winston felt a warmth he had never known at home before. So, this was what life was supposed to feel like. He couldn't help but reflect on the past, realizing how hollow those days had been. Joanna always flirted with him and would tell him about the best restaurants to eat. Being with her was always about experiencing something new. But with Millie, it was different. She brought a steady calm, a kind of comfort he could always count on.People often craved novelty when they were younger. But it was only after looking back that Winston realized the one who had always been reliable, waiting for him at home, was his true haven.And perhaps Millie felt so dependable because he knew he was indebted to her. She could've had her own adventures, her taste of novelty, but she chose to give it all up for them.When Millie finished cooking, she slipped off her apron. By then,
