Chapter 26
Waners wore a casal gray outfit, and he seemed to be in a relaxed mood However, his expression quickly turned sour at the sight of Mille. When he saw Simons standing behind Millie and holding her hands, his face twisted oglily.
Joanna was shocked to see Millie and Simon there. All she wanted
was to be alone with Winston.
Simon released Millieâs hands and stepped aside.
âWhat a coincidence,â said Winston sarcastically.
Millie gave him a disapproving look before replying, âYeah, itâs quite a coincidence, Mr. Greer.
Winston glared at her, annoyed by her use of the term âMr. Greer.â
Millie flashed Simon a sweet smile and suggested, âSimon, shall we carry on?â
Winston narrowed his eyes. He hadnât expected Millie to address Simon so intimately after their blind date yesterday.
âSure, letâs have another game,â Simon replied with a gentle smile. âYou know I canât beat you,â Millie protested.
Simon gave her a playful grin. âThatâs true. But you will owe me a favor if I do beat you. How about we go to the movies together tomorrow if you lose?â His grin widened as he tilted his head to the
side.
Millie kept her eyes on Simon. She wasnât sure if he was serious or just playing along because of Winstonâs presence.
Either way, she was grateful for him. He always seemed to get her out of awkward situations when she encountered Winston.
Joanna couldnât resist joining their banter. âMr. Harrison, I heard you were with your father at the Caldwell residence this morning?â
Winston frowned. He was surprised to hear that.
âWas it to thank Mills for saving your fatherâs life the other day?â Joanna asked. She stood on the third tee and swung her club before casually glancing at Millie.
Simon smiled and responded gentlemanly, âYes and no.â
âWhat do you mean?â Joanna asked with a smile.
âDonât you remember I was on a blind date with Mills?â Simon raised an eyebrow at her before he swung his golf club. He drove the ball effortlessly into the hole.
Winstonâs expression clouded at the mention of âMills.â He
suspected that Simon and Millie had known each other for a long time. The idea that Simon might have played a role in Millieâs desire for a divorce unsettled him.
âWow, what a shot!â Millie exclaimed.
Winston felt that Millie had overreacted. With a straight face, he picked up his club and deftly sent the ball into the hole with one swing.
Millie wasnât at all surprised at how well Winston did. He was a man of many talents and many interests. His passion for rock climbing and offâroading was the reason that Millie enjoyed them as well.
Winston was particularly adventurous during his high school and college years. Millie cherished him and everything he loved.
âSo, you took your father to see Millsâ parents for a marriage. proposal?â Joanna asked while tilting her head.â
âYealâ¦. sort of.â Simon nodded.
Millie couldnât resist studying Simonâs demeanor. He was a man who could tell a lie without batting an eyelid.
Winston looked off into the distance and blurted out, âNo wonder my wife was so eager to divorce me
All eyes were on Winston at once.
Millie frowned and shot back, âWeâve signed the divorce papers. Mr. Greer, if youâre unsure how to address me, Ms. Caldwell or my ex will do.â
Winston shot Millie a piercing look. Their eyes met, but the look in their eyes was different.
Winston seemed to be questioning Millie. His furrowed brow
indicated impatience as he silently questioned how much longer she intended to keep up the act.
Millieâs eyes dripped with contempt. She refused to pay any attention to the signals he was sending her.
