Chapter 95
Millie raised her eyes and spotted Simonâs car nearby. He sat inside and was silently observing them. Soon after, he stepped out and walked toward them.
Reacting to his approach, Millie discreetly moved aside, creating a distance between herself and Winston. Her subtle action pricked at Winstonâs emotions.
âMillie, am I late?â Simon asked, his voice playful.
âNo, not at all,â she replied. It was Winston who had arrived early.
âShall I accompany you for your hospital appointment?â he asked.
With a nod, Millie agreed and began walking alongside Simon.
Winstonâs grip on Millieâs wrist tightened. Beneath the trees, morning sunlight peeked through the branches, casting a soft glow on them.
His eyes lingered on Millieâs trembling wrist, his throat tightening. With a calm yet cold voice, be asked, âAre you sure about going with him?â
Meeting Winstonâs gaze, Millie found his gaze inscrutable, leaving her perplexed.
Perhaps her struggle to understand Winston wasnât confined to this moment alone. Throughout their years together, she had never truly understood him.
A
memory
ory flashed in Millieâs mind from their final year of college. Winston had come to see her with Joanna, informing her that their engagement was off
The scene was eerily similar to thatâWinston holding Joannaâs hand firmly while Millie reached out tentatively, asking, âAre you sure about calling off our engagement?â
Back then, he had pushed her away and left with Joanna. She had felt vulnerable, observed by the entire college.
âWinston, enough.â Millieâs voice remained composed.
Winstonâs gaze sharpened as he witnessed Millie withdraw her hand and move toward Simon.
Opening the car door for Millie, Simon turned to Winston with a smile. âMr. Greer, Iâll take care of Millie.
You can trust me.â
Millie paused by the car door and lifted her gaze to meet Wintonâs. The light illuminated his face, his eyes ablaze with emotion. Her heart faltered, revealing her lingering feelings.
As Millie bent to enter the car, Winstonâs throat tightened, and his gaze darkened. With purposeful steps, he moved toward her.
Sensing Winstonâs intent, Simon furrowed his brows, ready to intervene. But Winston seized Millieâs arm before he could act and effortlessly lifted her up.
âWinston!â Millie exclaimed, âHave you lost your mind again?â

Ignoring her protests, Winston glanced at Simon. His gaze was intense and sharp as a blade. Through gritted teeth, he said, âMr. Harrison, my wifeâs affairs are none of your concern.â
Millie froze in disbelief.
Winstonâs features were almost contorted with tensión, Mille wonderwhether his actions were it some strange form of male possessiveness.
âPut me down,â Millie demanded as she pushed against Winstonâs chest. Frustration was evident in
her tone.
âDo you even know what youâre doing?â she asked through gritted teeth, her voice barely audible to anyone but him.
Winston lowered his eyes, his voice husky as he held her close. âMillie, if youâre serious about divorce, behave well.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â Millie was bewildered.
Placing Millie in the passenger seat, Winstonâs gaze settled on her, his words plain and simple. âYou heard me.â
