Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Millie watched as Winston grabbed Joanna's wrist while ignoring her.The sense of weightlessness as she fell felt particularly vivid to her, and at the same time, her heart was filled with despair.Winston had never chosen her—not once, not even when she was also in genuine danger."Mills!" Joanna pretended to cry out in concern.Millie stumbled down to the turn in the staircase before coming to a stop. The pain she felt in both her body and her heart made her feel suffocated.Slowly raising her head, she saw both Winston and Joanna looking down at her.Words could not describe the embarrassment, anguish, and despair she felt. She didn't fall far enough to put her life at risk, but she had certainly lost all her strength.Winston glared at Millie with a look of abhorrence as he rebuked her, "It was only a few days ago when you pushed Joanna into the water! She still hasn't fully recovered yet, but here you are slapping her, and you even tried to push her down the stairs! You'r

In the evening, Millie made her way to The Nouveau, a restaurant with vintage decor and an elegant, sophisticated ambiance. She was wearing a tasteful green dress with a matching purse.She was a little late, and when she opened the door to the private dining room, the guests all stood up at once.The light illuminated her soft skin, and the slit in her dress revealed her long, slender legs.She had her hair up in a bun with a hairpin sticking through it. Her fringe hid the wound on her forehead.Everyone was mesmerized by the sight of her."Oh, my. If it isn't Ms. Caldwell," a man in his fifties said. He was Eric Lopez, Terrence's good friend. He was the one who organized this private dinner gathering with his other friends who were all influential figures in the business world."She's not just Ms. Caldwell. She's Terrence's precious daughter and the apple of his eye! Don't you underestimate her!" another man corrected Eric.Millie let out a helpless chuckle as she looked aroun

Millie was taken aback. She didn't expect Winston to check the security footage. Nevertheless, that no longer mattered to her.She applied a plaster on Winston's hand before closing the first aid kit, saying, "All done."Winston frowned. He was displeased by how indifferent she seemed."Millie, I said I saw the security footage," he repeated.She looked at him and replied with a smile, "I heard you."Winston's frown deepened. Was that all? Wasn't she going to ask for an apology or something?Noting Winston's confusion, Millie got up to return the first aid kit to the drawer while saying coolly, "In the past, I loved you, so I cared about your opinion of me. But now…"Turning back around, she declared, "It doesn't matter to me anymore."Winston licked his lips. His eyes flashed darkly as he asked with an unreadable expression, "You don't love me anymore?""You're so smart, Mr. Greer," Millie said with a captivating smile as she leaned against the cabinet.Loving him had alread

Millie showed up at the courthouse with the necessary documents and waited for Winston. Her thoughts wandered back to the day they registered their marriage three years ago. There was a heavy downpour in Yerwick. Winston said he'd be late because he was busy with work. Later, he suggested rescheduling due to the heavy rain.That day, she stood at the courthouse entrance alone, watching the rain subside and resume. It wasn't until the end of business hours that Winston showed up.During the wait, she watched the sweet, smiling young couples entering and leaving. She couldn't help but sigh. If he truly loved her, he would have shown up even if it were raining, not to mention it was the day of their marriage registration. He certainly did not love her and didn't care about marrying her.Back to the present, Millie paced the area out of boredom. The clock struck 9:00 am. She looked up, but Winston was absent. So, she texted him, "Mr. Greer, I can't believe you can be tardy."He did n

Winston's brows twisted into a frown. He gazed calmly at Millie as if he agreed that she was a shameless and manipulative woman.Anger and bitterness brewed deep within Millie. She no longer cared what Winston thought of her. Still, she felt like a fool because the latter kept questioning her. With a bitter smile, she snarled, "Why don't we just tell your grandma about our divorce if you think I'm that despicable?" "You wouldn't dare!" Winston stomped forward. He could tell from Selma's actions that she cared a lot about Winston and Millie's marriage. It would only cause Selma more trouble if they told her they wanted to get divorced now. Winston refused to make any mistakes before Selma's birthday celebration.Millie chuckled. "Why wouldn't I dare? Winston, get one thing clear. Selma is your biological grandmother, not mine!"She had only refrained from telling Selma about it because Selma treated her well. Millie didn't want Selma to fall ill if she told the latter about the divor
