"Are you trying to provoke me?" Winston asked, his expression becoming serious.Millie shrugged, indicating she didn't mean anything by it.However, anyone with a keen eye could tell that she was trying to provoke him.Eli was quietly laughing to himself in the back.He felt relieved to see that the relationship between the two of them had thawed to the point where they could joke around like that.It seems that Winston wasn't deserving of death and still had a chance to save himself."I'm not using reverse psychology; think about it. Do you actually want to come in or not?" Millie shrugged and stood aside, inviting him in.Of course, Winston had to go in. There was no backing out at the last moment. Millie would never let him live it down if he did."I'm going!" he said firmly.Millie chuckled. "There's no chance of escaping now.""Just one thing," Winston said with a hint of pleading in his voice.Millie squinted at him with confusion,"When I can't handle it, please help

Winston was genuinely flustered. He probably never got this nervous, even when he was discussing deals worth billions of dollars.Millie poured him some coffee, gesturing for him to drink some water as well and to calm down a bit.Winston held his coffee cup and hesitated for a moment without taking a sip. He turned to Millie and asked, "Is there any hope for me?"Millie chuckled.Winston was actually a pretty interesting person when he was not being a jerk.Was there any hope for him?"I don't know," Millie said, shaking her head deliberately.A trace of frustration was evident in Winston's deep-set eyes. What did Millie mean by that?"Could you please say some nice things about me in front of Mr. Caldwell Senior and Madam Layla?" he asked as he sighed, feeling quite wistful.Millie looked down and said, "What good are nice words? Back when I insisted on marrying you, didn't Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Greer Senior also put in a good word for me?"He still was not listening to anyth

"Are you complimenting me?" Winston suddenly felt like he turned into a fool in front of Millie.He couldn't understand what she said anymore, whether it was good or bad things. All he knew was that Millie was in front of him, and simply seeing her made him feel content.Millie could tell that Winston didn't seem to be in his right mind today. She wouldn't tease him anymore, then.Soon, an attendant served the food.The sound of the cello gently filled the room, and it sounded quite pleasant. It was a rare quiet night, and Millie had been tired recently. It was quite nice to suddenly enjoy this gentle moment.Millie was about to slice into some foie gras when Winston handed over a small piece of steak. "Try it. It's delicious," he said.Millie looked at Winston. He didn't make a move and just stared at her as she started eating.Millie pressed her lips together, not feeling her spirits dampen at all.The steak he gave did taste quite good.Winston noticed she enjoyed it, so he

Millie felt guilty, squeezing the orange in her hand so hard it was almost about to burst. She mumbled softly, "I mean, is it alright that Winston also came to the Spring Festival?"Layla placed the items on the table, then sat down on the couch and asked, "Why? Doesn't he have a home to go to?"Millie hesitated. That was a tricky question to answer."Got kicked out by the Greer family?" She eyed Millie with an intense gaze that was overwhelming and quite fierce.Millie didn't dare speak, but she still had to answer, "No."Layla gave a cold smile and immediately asked, "So why isn't he going back to his own home for New Year's Day and instead coming to ours? Is he crazy?""Grandma, he…" Millie wanted to explain."I don't agree," Layla stated flatly, dismissing any further explanations.Millie choked up and quietly looked over at Arthur.Arthur's expression grew more serious, as if he agreed with what Layla had said, and he turned his attention to the television."You're not e

"Hey there, could you help me take a picture?" Millie was looking around when someone suddenly called out to her.Millie turned around to see a tall boy holding a camera. Behind him, there was a girl waiting.Millie nodded and was about to take the camera to help with taking a picture.Winston suddenly asked, "Can I help""Huh?" The boy paused. He looked at both of them and then said with a smile, "Alright then…"However, he was clearly hesitant.Millie chuckled and said, "Let me handle it. I might be a bit more skilled than Mr. Greer is."Winston shrugged and didn't say anything else.Millie stepped forward with a camera in her hand. The two students stood next to each other. They maintained an appropriate distance, suggesting they weren't close. The girl wore a dress layered with a coat, which made her look stylish.Millie observed the two individuals. She could tell that the boy had feelings for the girl, for he was being very cautious.The girl was smiling sweetly at the
