She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 82

Millle was shocked that Winston would ask her to stay for breakfast, but she had no plans on staying.

“That’s okay. I’ve troubled you enough already,” she said as she shook her head and pushed his hand. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

away.

Winston’s hand fell limply to his side. He couldn’t help but follow Millie as she left the room.

“Millie, I know you haven’t had the best three years so far, but I hope we can be civil after the divorce. We don’t have to treat each other like enemies.”

Millie felt annoyed at his words. He hadn’t contributed anything in the past three years, nor did he know what heartbreak truly felt like.

Of course, he could act professionally and act like nothing had ever happened.

She couldn’t. She had been hurt, humiliated, and disappointed.

How could her husband ask her to be civil after cheating on her? How was she supposed to be civil?

Did he treat her so well yesterday because he didn’t want her to make a fuss after getting a divorce?

To be fair, he was the president of Greer Tower. He needed to maintain his reputation with the public.

“If you need any help after the divorce, I’ll be here for you. Even if we can’t stay married, we can still be friends,” he said.

Millie put her heels back on and looked at him. “I have enough friends as it is, and I don’t need to be friends with my ex–husband. Wouldn’t you say the same?”

Winston frowned. Millie lifted her hand and pushed the door open.

It was an unfortunate coincidence that Joanna was standing right outside, ready to call Winston, when Millie opened the door.

She saw the two of them standing in the doorway the moment she turned around.

The three of them stared at each other in silence.

Millie couldn’t believe she had walked right into the worst–case scenario.

“Millie?” Joanna opened her mouth and looked at Winston. “Win, did you

Millie looked up at Winston again. He told her to be civil about it. She really wanted to see how he could still be civil in that situation.

The two women’s scouring gazes landed on Winston at the same time.

Winston felt his heart skittering in his chest.

-He was used to a crowd of people staring at him during important events, and he had never gotten

nervous, no matter how many people were paying attention to him.

However, he always lost his composure when it came to women.

Winston pressed his lips into a thin line before explaining to Joanna, “Millie got injured yesterday, and it was late after I took her to the hospital to get treated, so I brought her home.”

Millie raised an eyebrow, looked at Joanna, and nodded.

Joanna bit her lip, paying extra attention to how Winston had brought Millie home.

Winston had never brought Joanna home. She always had to go to the mansion on her own. There was no difference between going to his house and a hotel.

Joanna glared at Winston and said, “Why didn’t you pick up my calls? I came here so early because thought something happened to you.”

“Oh, last night? My phone ran out of battery, Winston said expressionlessly.

Joanna looked down. “I thought you were mad at me

“What for?”

“I gave Grandma a fake Snowdrop yesterday.”

“A fake Snowdrop?” Winston frowned in confusion.

He still didn’t know anything about what happened last night.

Joanna glanced at Millie before starting the waterworks. She said pitifully, “I was scammed, Win. I didn’t know it was fake.

“I spent so much money on it because I wanted to make Grandma happy. You can understand me right? I was so sad last night, Win. Mills didn’t let me explain myself at all.”

She threw herself into his embrace and held onto his waist tightly. “You believe me, don’t you, Win? really didn’t mean to bring her a fake Snowdrop.”
