She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 44

There was nothing but silence in the corridor for a long time.

Millie looked down when he remained quiet.

Winston couldn’t see her face. However, he could hear her ask softly, “Are you terrified that I’ll use Grandma to force you to stay together?”

Winston’s pupils contracted. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Selma’s voice from inside the room. She said, “Mills.”

Millie looked in and said, “Grandma is awake.”

Once she finished, she walked around Winston and entered the room.

Gloria was helping her up. Selma laid against the headboard and looked at Millie. She felt sad.

Winston followed Millie closely.

When they appeared together, Selma felt displeased.

In the end, had they come to this step?

Did they have to get a divorce? Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Millie sat by the bed and helped Selma comb her hair. She said gently, “Grandma, are you alright now?” Selma grabbed Millie’s hand and asked pitifully. “Mills, did you forget my birthday?”

She smiled immediately and said, “Grandma, what are you talking about? How could I ever forget your birthday?”

Selma stared at Millie and asked, “Then, why are you unwilling to come to my birthday celebration?”

Millie stuttered, “G–Grandma, I…”

Selma grew even more pitiful as she continued talking, “Do you not want to see me after divorcing Winston?”

Millie felt as though she had been stabbed.

Selma had treated her extremely well, as though they were the best of friends.

However, if she had to abandon this family who treated her genuinely just because of Winston, she didn’t have the heart to do it.

But, this was Winston’s family. In the future, when Joanna married into their family, they would be her family, not hers.

Selma’s voice became lighter.

Millie warred against herself.

secure if you’re present!”

Millie saw Winston in her periphery.

He would have Joanna clinging to his arm during Selma’s celebration, wouldn’t he?

Wouldn’t she look like a clown, then?

Winston walked over suddenly. He helped her pull her blankets higher and said, “Grandma, get a good rest. Millie will go for it.”

Millie’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Winston when she felt his arm around her shoulders.

He gripped her shoulder, as though he was communicating with her.

She felt annoyed. Winston was putting her on the spot. If she was determined not to go, she would break Selma’s heart.

Millie said softly, “Alright, Grandma. I promise you. I’ll go.”

Selma broke out into a grin and nodded immediately

Upon seeing her smile, Winston sighed in relief. His lips crooked upward as well.

He made eye contact with Millie, and they smiled helplessly at each other.

They had to make Selma happy first!

“Grandma, get a good rest. I’ll be heading home now.” Millie got up.

“Alright. I’ll be waiting for you at my birthday celebration!”

Selma didn’t try to stop her. After all, Millie had already promised to come.

She always kept her promises. Once she agreed to something, she wouldn’t break them.

Winston took his coat and said, “I’ll walk her out.”

Millie wanted to walk by herself, so she replied, “There’s no need.”

He ignored her in favor of grabbing her hand and pulling her out.

Millie was silent.

Seeing their interactions, Selma felt that the string of fate holding them together was still intact.

Once they left the room, Millie shook his hand off

Winston stopped for a moment. He followed behind Millie quickly and asked, “Where are you going?”

Millie replied, “You don’t have to accompany me.

When they were together, he’d rarely walked with her.

Now that they were getting a divorce, he was much more keen on doing so.

Winston frowned, Millie’s tone was cold, as though she was replying to a stranger.

Millie stood in front of the elevator.

Winston stood beside her.

They could hear the whining of the ambulance from outside.

Their figures were reflected in the door of the lift.

Millie stared at him while recalling what he had said to Gloria. “Mom, I’m touched by what Millie has done. However, being touched just isn’t love!

“Mom, stop making my life difficult. I don’t like Millie. I can’t continue with our marriage! It would be nothing but torture for Millie and me if we continue down this road!”
