Chapter 307

Joanna immediately shook her head. “No, Mom! Winston is the only man I’ll marry!”

She vowed to marry no other man but Winston. No matter what it’d take, she wanted to win his heart and marry him.

“Knock yourself out.” Harriet scoffed and grabbed her bag. “I’m busy today, so I’ll get going. If you have any cravings, just tell the family maid about them. She’ll cook the food and deliver it for you.”

With that, Harrier left.

Joanna stared at her mom with a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. The Lowells were nice to her, but sometimes, like now, she struggled to feel love from her family.

After all her setbacks, Harriet offered her some shallow words of comfort before leaving her. Was this how the rich treated their family? Were the other wealthy families the same?

Harriet let out a deep sigh after leaving Joanna’s room. Sometimes, she didn’t know what to do with

Joanna.

Things would’ve been easier if Joanna had fallen for an ordinary man, as the Lowells would’ve pressured the guy into marrying her.

But Winston Greer was a tough case. The Lowells were no match for the Greers.

Harriet bumped into Millie in the elevator. Millie strutted in energetically. She stood proudly and bent her neck elegantly when she read the medical records in her hands.

She looked pretty when she was serious.

Millie got out on the fourth floor. Harriet, seemingly enchanted by Millie, followed her out of the elevator.

Millie went to the reception desk and conversed with two nurses, occasionally flashing gentle and graceful smiles.

Harriet watched her in silence until Millie looked up and accidentally met her eyes.

Millie frowned and wondered, “Why is she staring at me?”

Harriet, who was caught red–handed in peeping, cleared her throat awkwardly and left the scene pompously with her bag in hand.

Puzzled, Millie went back to work. Harriet stopped at a corner before stealing a few more glances at her.

Oddly, she couldn’t resist the mysterious temptation to stare at the young lady. She admitted she felt a little regretful for arguing with her.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought with a frown. “Ugh, what do I have to be regretful for?”

It was only fair that she criticized Millie for upsetting Joanna. Hmph! How annoying!

After Harriet scurried away, Millie let out a sneeze. Sensing something amiss, she scanned her surroundings, but her colleagues were busy with their work.

Failing to put a finger on that weird feeling, she could only shake her head.

After work, Millie spotted Simon at the hospital entrance. Clad in a white shirt and wearing a pair of glasses, he looked gentlemanly.

When Millie went over to him, he quickly produced a bouquet of roses. “Here’s some flowers for you.”

She was surprised at the gesture. He suddenly blurted out, “Can we consider this a movie date?”

She held the bouquet while looking at him. “Friends can watch movies together too.”

Smiling, he ceded, “Fine. Whatever you say.”

He would patiently wait for Millie until she was over her ex.

On the way to the movies, they chatted about the news at the hospital. From her calm demeanor, He could tell that the incidents didn’t affect her. Thus, he didn’t comment further.

The theater was crowded. Simon grabbed the tickets and bought some snacks for Millie.

It had been a while since she went to the movies. Her last visit to support Rachel, who had starred in a movie as a side character.

They were watching a romantic movie that day. Most moviegoers were sweet couples who acted all lovey -dovey.
