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

League 420

Millie could only turn to the side. Seeing this, Winston experienced a twinge of discomfort in his heart. In the past, she would promptly ask him to put out his cigarette, but now she simply frowned and remained silent.

He suddenly asked, “No comment?”

Millie looked up at him. “What should I say?”

Winston was at a loss for words. He gazed at Millie, his eyes expressing a myriad of emotions. It was the first time he had truly taken the time to appreciate her captivating beauty.

At that moment, he realized the exquisite allure of her eyes, which possessed a captivating charm that could ensnare anyone at first glance.

They looked at each other, but Millie was the first to look away. This had always been the case, from high school until now.

Even after their divorce, Millie claimed she no longer loved him. Nevertheless, whenever they locked eyes, she would always be the one to break the gaze, unable to withstand the intensity of their eye contact.

Winston chuckled and took a drag of his cigarette.

On the other hand, Millie appeared somewhat displeased as she averted her gaze first. Thus, she grumbled, “If you continue to smoke so often, it’s quite likely that your breath will become rather unpleasant.”

“Really? You know that I rarely smoke,” he calmly stated.

Millie gazed at him in silence before returning her gaze into the distance. “I have no idea.”

Following a period of silence, Millie expressed her gratitude. “Thank you for giving the Aspher to me. This rare medicinal herb is incredibly important to my grandma.”

She continued seriously, “My grandma will be very thankful if her research is successful.”

Winston stared at her, saying nothing as the cigarette in his hand slowly burned out.

Millie asked, “Did you hear what I just said?”

He nodded. “Hmm.”

She added, “That’s it for the Aspher. Don’t forget about the divorce too.”

The topic of divorce came up again. Winston couldn’t understand why he felt so strongly against it. The topic made him incredibly unhappy, more than ever.

He used to discuss divorce with Millie, but now the situation had changed. She was the one who kept mentioning their divorce over and over again.

“Is there anything else? Let’s head back,” Millie suggested, taking a step toward the car.

Just as she was about to get in, Winston grabbed her arm. Millie turned her head and locked eyes with him, curious about his intentions.

“Stay a little longer,” he said.

However, Millie couldn’t comprehend his request. She declined, “I should go back now.”

Winston gripped Millie’s wrist tightly, refusing to let go. She was displeased. “What you’re doing is inappropriate, given our current relationship. If Joanna finds out, she’ll cause a scene again.

“Mr. Greer, if you truly have feelings for Joanna, you should commit to a lifetime of love and treat her well, instead of treating me like this while saying you love her.”

She shot a piercing glare at his hand. His ambiguous behavior toward her confused her, considering his love for Joanna. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Millie, about Joanna-” Winston was interrupted by his phone ringing. It was Eli calling, and despite Winston rejecting the call, Eli kept calling. Hence, he had to answer.

As soon as Winston answered the phone, his expression turned icy. He acknowledged and promptly ended the call. Looking at Millie, he struggled to speak but eventually said, “I’ll take you home first.”

Millie frowned. “Did something happen at the company?”
