Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

At that moment, a cold snort came from the staircase.Arthur looked up. Wasn't that Layla standing there?Layla walked downstairs, her tone sounding incredulous as she said, "Is this guy really willing to go to such lengths to get what he wants? He even had the nerve to say something like that?""When pursuing someone you like, there's nothing you wouldn't do, no matter how embarrassing. Back when I was trying to win you over, didn't I wait for you outside your house every day?" The thought brought Arthur a sense of sorrow.The Cadmores were a medical family, and Arthur was a businessman. Even though he also made a fortune in the medical field, the Cadmore family wasn't willing for the two of them to be together. They just wanted Layla to marry someone who was also studying medicine.Believe it or not, back then, there really was another medical student as her suitor. The Cadmore family liked them, and outsiders also thought they were a good match.In the end, the persistent suit

Winston had already decided to humble himself completely to make sure his wife remained happy."Go on in," Thomas finally said.Millie and Winston went inside, where Everly was crouching next to Arthur, working on the lights with him.Winston put down the gifts he brought and asked, "Can I help with anything?""Ah, Winston, you're here. Come on in and warm up a bit." Arthur smiled and didn't say anything more.Millie nodded, indicating that Winston should go in first.Thomas and Everly stayed outside working on the lights while Millie, Winston, and Arthur went inside the house.In the living room, Layla was eating chips and watching TV. When she saw that Winston had arrived, she remained expressionless.Millie glanced cautiously at her grandmother with a gentle expression."Grandpa, I brought some good coffee beans." Winston placed a gift box on the coffee table.Arthur chuckled and said, "You didn't need to bring any gifts. You already brought plenty last time."The last gi

Winston nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma, I understand."Millie smiled warmly, unable to hold back her laughter. Layla was just so endearing."Alright, the lights are all set up. What's on the menu today, and who's cooking?" Thomas walked in casually.Everly took off her coat and saw that there was a painting in front of Layla."Oh, could this be something that Mr. Greer brought?" she asked. "This painting looks really expensive.""Mr. Greer, do I get a gift?" Everly couldn't help teasing Winston.Winston knew that this was yet another person coming to give him a challenge."Sorry. I didn't know you and Uncle Thomas were here, so I didn't prepare anything. If there's something you like, I can buy it for you," he offered."How hilarious! Do you think I can't afford it? Do I need you to buy it?" Everly scoffed.Winston smiled and said, "Yes, you can afford it, but there's always a difference between something gifted to you and something you buy for yourself.""Mr. Greer i

Thomas said, "Please, have a seat. No need to stand on ceremony."Thomas figured he couldn't be too unwelcoming, could he? He needed to act more charming.After all, this was Winston's first time spending the Spring Festival with the Caldwell family, and it was entirely his own decision to come."Uncle Thomas, is there anything I can help with?" Winston asked.Thomas shook his head and said, "Just take a seat. Not causing trouble would be the biggest help.""Dad, come on. We're adults now, not kids anymore. Stop messing around!" Everly scoffed.Thomas squinted and smiled without saying anything. He set down his beer bottle and went back to his tasks.Layla went to put away her calligraphy and paintings, and she even posted an update on Instagram.Millie saw an Instagram post and couldn't help but smile. Layla really knew how to show off.Layla: "Today, I received "Where Mountains Meet the Sea" by Quentin Scott. I really like it. Thank you."Winston didn't have access to Layla

Millie noticed that Winston seemed restless and asked him, "Would you like to try some pierogi?""He's a big man, and you're telling him to wrap pierogis?" Layla interrupted Millie.Was Winston, a princely man, the type to be making pierogis?"Why don't you let him give it a try? Otherwise, what's he sitting around for?" Millie asked her grandmother.Layla said, "He can just sit there.""Woah, Grandma, then is it okay if I sit there too?" Millie asked.Layla immediately rejected her, saying, "No way.""Isn't that being hypocritical?" Millie grumbled."It looks like you picked the right gift. See how well Grandma speaks of you," Millie couldn't help but say to Winston.Winston nodded. "Thank you, Grandma.""There's no need for thanks… It just doesn't make sense to have an outsider making pierogi," Layla muttered.Winston was speechless. That almost felt worse than not being thanked at all. That comment was just too harsh."Mr. Greer, how well can you handle your alcohol?" Th
