"What?" Rachel was confused and didn't understand what Millie had said."When we just got married, I asked him to go to the mall with me on my birthday and paint together. The whole time, he was very impatient, and once the painting was hung on the wall, he didn't even bother to glance at it. On the day of our divorce, I threw away the painting. But today…"Millie's mind wandered toward Winston's earlier painting. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. That was just how he was. He didn't need to learn much, but he knew a little about everything."Keep going," Rachel urged, eager to hear the confession of a scumbag."Did he take it back?" Rachel's eyes sparkled with excitement, clearly thrilled to hear the story.Millie shook her head and said, "Nope. He went to the same shop and painted an identical picture himself."Rachel was slightly surprised. She believed that reclaiming it was his most sincere act. She didn't anticipate this scoundrel to actually make one himself.De

Millie wore a simple black bodycon dress. After entering, she removed her coat and gave it to the waiter.When Sean caught a glimpse of Millie, an uncontrollable smile instantly lit up his face. Jake glanced at Sean, his expression filled with disapproval. He thought, "What a hopeless romantic!""Millie!" Sean approached her excitedly."Sean." Millie greeted him with a nod."A drink for you?" Sean asked.Millie shook her head right away. "No, I believe you saw how drunk I was last night."Sean chuckled. He had seen Millie drunk the night before. She looked even cuter. The most touching moment was when she sent him off. She kept telling him to drive slowly and get home safely, as otherwise, their family would indirectly be responsible for his death. She even held onto the car window and wouldn't let go.Sean said helplessly, "My driver will take me home. I'm sitting in the back seat."Millie then rubbed her eyes and regained her composure before releasing him. Sean had no i

Jake was furious. The two looked at him, but no one said anything. He was very conflicted.Sean looked at Winston and said, "It's hard to control feelings. I simply felt drawn to her and decided to pursue her. Even before becoming Winston's ex-wife, Millie is simply Millie."Hence, he had every right to pursue her, even though he was Winston's friend."What about our friendship?" Jake cared about this the most. He wanted to know what would happen to their friendship now that Sean liked Millie.Winston quickly replied, "I don't mind."Jake was upset. He couldn't believe that Winston didn't care. In reality, Winston was actually very calculating. He definitely cared about it, even though he didn't always show it."Sean, you're right. Millie is my ex-wife, but she's also just Millie."Therefore, Winston wasn't angry about Sean pursuing Millie. However, Jake was correct about their friendship, as it might inevitably become complicated."Let's play fair," Winston said, frowning at S

Millie was stunned. Then, she sighed while holding the glass."I have a lot to handle right now. Currently, my grandma's health isn't in the best condition. If I don't take over her research lab, she won't be able to focus on recovery. On a separate note, my dad is currently in good health and fully capable of managing the company.""Last night, I was heartbroken to see your grandma unable to move her arm. She's always been so resilient. It's hard to believe she's struggling with her arm." Rachel was truly distressed.Millie was greatly concerned for Layla. It wasn't just the loss of feeling in her arm that troubled her. What really distressed her was that Layla had only cried once since the incident occurred, and hadn't shown any sign of distress thereafter. She carried on as if nothing had happened, and her composure was quite alarming.Layla was undeniably strong, but Millie couldn't help but wonder if she was truly as strong as she appeared. Perhaps Layla's inner struggles we

It was a party, so Millie thought it would be fine to have one glass of wine. She contemplated it and concluded that one glass wouldn't hurt. Hence, she raised her glass and clinked it with Rachel's.In the end, one glass quickly led to another. At that moment, Millie had already had three drinks. "Another one, please."Rachel suddenly regretted asking Millie to drink. If she had known, she would have let Millie drink the juice.After Winston returned from taking a call, he noticed Millie requesting a drink from the bartender. Then, Laura urgently summoned her, who promptly instructed the bartender not to serve Millie. After that, she went to the backstage area.Although Millie wasn't excessively drinking, she found her appetite for alcohol stimulated and desired a few more glasses. However, Rachel intervened to prevent her from drinking any further. Thus, she stopped drinking. Millie gazed up and twirled on her bar stool. Life would be dull if it revolved solely around eating
