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 tension. 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

Chapter 96
Millie watched with confusion as Winston circled and climbed inside the car. She pondered if he was trying to intimidate her, and since when had she become the obstacle preventing their divorce?
The situation was so absurd that it was laughable.
Simon, who was standing by the car, observed Winston with a puzzled expression. After a brief moment, he crossed his arms and leaned against the vehicle, letting out a resigned chuckle.
Was Winston truly in love with Millie, or was this some sort of game?
Recognizing that confronting Winston directly would lead nowhere, Millie opted for a softer approach.
She flashed a radiant smile and said sincerely, âMr. Greer, I appreciate your concern. But since Simon is here, it wouldnât be polite to let him leave on his own, would it?â
Winston fifted his gaze, locking eyes with Millieâs captivating ones. Her smile was as enchanting as a gentle breeze.

âWould you rather let me go alone?â Winston moved closer, his intense gaze fixed on Millie. His voice Howered to a soft murmur. âWould you?â
Caught off guard, Millie wondered what Winstonâs intentions were. âMr. Greer, arenât you being a bit unreasonable? You already have a fiancée, ready for a new chapter. But what about me?
âIâve finally found a potential match, and here you are, interfering with us. With you around, how will I
ever-â
As Millie spoke, her words were cut short by Winstonâs proximity. He was so close that she could feel his breath on her lips.
His complexion wasnât at its best, but it did nothing to diminish his handsome features. His striking eyes and strong features radiated undeniable charm.
Millie held her breath, anxious about Winstonâs next move. The tension inside the car was palpable.
His warm breath against her face caused her cheeks to flush. Then, suddenly, she heard the distinct sound of a seatbelt being unfastened.
Millie blinked in surprise.
Winston met her gaze once more. âWhy are you blushing?â
Millie remained silent, her gaze drifting to the window as she resumed her thoughts. âYou always interfere. How will lever-â
Winston gently lifted Millieâs chin with his fingertip, then cradled her face, compelling her to meet his eyes. His touch was scalding, as if it might burn her skin.
Millieâs breath hitched as she found herself lost in his close proximity.
âWhat do you want?â he pressed.

âAnother chance at love,â Millie replied earnestly.
âWith Simon?â Winston arched an eyebrow, his gaze slowly trailing down from her eyes.
Millie was wearing a glossy lip color, making them irresistibly tempting.
Winstonâs throat tightened inexplicably. He prided himself on his restraint, but around Millie, he found himself on the brink of losing control. He despised feeling restrained.
Frustrated, Millie pulled away from Winstonâs hold and leaned forward. She stated, âMr. Greer, do I
need your blessing for my next marriage?â
Winston met her sparkling eyes once more, seeing his reflection mirrored within. âSure.â
Hearing Winstonâs audacious claim, Millie was exasperated.
âWho did he think he was?â she yelled inwardly.
âWinston, stop this!â Millie pushed him away and tried to open the car door, but it remained stubbornly
shut.
âLet me out!â Millie glared at him. âNow!â
Instead of acting, Winstonâs gaze drifted to Simon, who was waiting outside.
