Winston looked at Millie and grunted. Then, he continued putting on his tie as though the information didn't concern him.Millie had to admit that he was extremely handsome, even when he looked groggy in the morning.Lips pursed, he picked up his jacket. She watched as he slowly buttoned his shirt, thinking, "Tsk! Joanna is a lucky woman indeed."“I'm leaving now," he said to her.She stood there and watched him leave. Then, she let out a silent sigh.He stopped at the door without warning and turned, eliciting a look of surprise from her. Smirking and arching a brow, he teased her, "Your waist feels good to the touch."She was rendered speechless. Damn it! The idea of snuggling in his arms while asleep overcame her with guilt. "You're useless!" she quietly chided herself. What was there to fear about a storm? How embarrassing!By the way, he mentioned something about her actions when she was drunk. What exactly happened? What slipped her mind?Why did she feel that he was

When Millie turned toward the door, she looked visibly surprised by the visitor. She stood up and greeted him, "Oh, Simon."Simon looked gentlemanly in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Holding a bouquet of lilies and some food, he entered the room and joked, "I'm here to visit the hero."She pouted. "I'm no hero. Someone had to protect me from getting stabbed.""Why? Are you disappointed because you didn't get stabbed?" He placed the food on the table and handed her the bouquet. "Here's some fresh lilies for you."She stared at the flowers and lamented silently, "Winston has never bought me flowers."Soon, she put on a smile and replied to Simon, "Thanks. I love it.""I brought food for you, but I'm not sure if they are to your taste." He pointed at the food on the bedside table before slumping onto the chair."I'm sure I'll like whatever you buy for me." She raised a brow and joked with him, looking happy."You're a sweet talker." Amused by her statement, he chuckled, eye

That was a question that Winston himself had no answer to. Millie pressed on. "Are you not going to get a divorce?"He sank into silence while her expression grew serious.Their breathing sounded loud in the silence of the room. She watched as his breathing grew uneven. Finally, he frantically shoved her away."You're delusional," he snapped. No way he'd fall in love with her. Millie fell into a daze when she heard his icy remark. She repeated his words to herself, "You're delusional."Winston had labeled her as delusional multiple times.Standing up, he tugged at his collar and gulped nervously. Dodging her gaze, he chose to stare out of the window instead.She studied his figure for a while. Finally, she broke into a smile. "I was just joking, but you seemed rattled by it.""Don't ever make those jokes again. They're not funny at all," Winston warned her with a frown when he turned.Millie teased him, pouting, "Mr. Greer, you're fierce." Her tone carried a hint of coyne

Millie held her phone tightly. She had confirmed her guess—Winston panicked when she went missing at night. So, he must have caught feelings for her.He suddenly asked, "Will the hospital discharge you tomorrow?"She turned off the phone. At the same time, he was trying to blow dry his hair.Nodding, she replied, "Yeah.""Simon doesn't have to pick you up. I'll send you home." Then, he started to dry his hair.Curled up under the blanket, she muttered, "It's fine, Mr. Greer. I don't want to cause you trouble.""Hah." He chuckled and ran his hand over his hair before unplugging the hairdryer.Tossing it into the closet, he turned to her. "What you need to do is listen to me if you don't want to give me trouble."Millie was speechless at his stubbornness. She changed the topic. "My ID card will be ready the day after tomorrow.""Got it," he replied glumly and sat on the couch.She wistfully thought, "He's never been this nice to me in our three years of marriage. What's the poi

"Millie Caldwell, that was low! The incident happened a while ago! Why would you dig it up at this time? Is this your revenge against my family because Winston is divorcing you?"Staring at Joanna, Millie finally understood the reason behind her anger. Joanna mistakenly thought it was Millie who had released the news to the media.She scrambled up from the bed, but Joanna tried to shove her again. She slapped Joanna's hand away, causing the latter to stagger backward.Scowling, Joanna glowered at Millie.Millie gracefully tidied her shirt and her hair. Then, she fixed her gaze on Joanna. "It wasn't me.""Quit acting! You always act like a goody two shoes, when in reality, you're the most hypocritical and shameless of all!" Joanna pointed a finger at Millie. Her eyes hardened with anger.When the media covered the Snowdrop incident, she and the Lowells instantly became social pariahs. Reputational damage aside, the scandal had affected the stock price of Lowell Group."I told you
