Chapter 90

The Caldwell family’s house was filled to the brim with roses. Rachel had practically bought her every single rose in Yermick City.

Millie looked at the front and back yard covered in roses and asked, “Why do I need a man when I have a best friend like Rachel?”

“What’s going on?” Terrence asked in confusion, having just gotten home from work. “Do you have a new admirer? Gosh, what a scene!” He looked up at his daughter and reminded her, “Mills, you have a habit of falling too easily. Don’t be swayed just because he filled our yard up with roses!”

Millie forced out a tense smile.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring.

Millie turned around and leaned against the railing instead. It was a call from Winston.

Millie hesitated for a moment before accepting the call. She brought her phone to her ear and looked down as she said coldly, “Mr. Greer.”

“Come out. I’m in front of your house,” he said icily His tone sounded more like a command than a request.

Millie froze in surprise.

She turned to look outside the gates. Beyond all the roses in the yard, she could see a silver supercar) parked below a nearby tree.

“What do you want?” Millie asked, distraught.

He rarely came over to the Caldwells. Why was he coming over so often now?

“Joanna was being unreasonable earlier and made you unhappy. I’m here to apologize on her behalf,” Winston said. His voice sounded low and flat, almost as if something was dragging his mood down.

Millie looked down, feeling her heart skip a beat.

Apologizing on Joanna’s behalf? He was Winston Greer, the backbone of Yerwick City’s finances.

He never bowed down for anyone, unless that person was Joanna.

Millie couldn’t help but sigh wistfully.

She replied, “No need. I’m not mad.”

The other end fell silent for three seconds before he laughed bitterly and asked, “You’re not mad?”

Millie replied lightly, “Yes.”

She used to get mad because she loved Winston, but now she no longer loved him. She wasn’t his wife anymore, so what was there to be angry about?

Rachel had already cheered her up by buying her a whole garden’s worth of roses.

If that was the case, then what had Millie’s true love gotten her?

Rachel chuckled mockingly. “Okay, you could call your relationship true love. What about Millie’s true love?”

She turned her aim towards Winston. “You can tell us for yourself, Winston. Was the love Millie showed you not true love?”

Winston looked at Millie. His gaze seemed weighed down.

Millie looked away, not wanting to look at him.

Her heart hurt whenever she looked at him.

Rachel waited for his reply, but he stayed silent. She finally said angrily, “Millie spent seven years waiting for you. Even a dog would have been kind enough to notice her efforts by now. Sadly, you can’t even measure up to a dog. Let’s go, Millie.”

Rachel grabbed Millie by the wrist and walked out. When she walked past Joanna, she purposely shoved her with her shoulder.

Joanna was the real betrayer here.

Had she forgotten that Millie was the only reason Joanna could even go study medicine in the first place?

She would have been nothing without Millie.

Millie had been so good to Joanna back then. Even Rachel had gotten jealous of how well Millie treated Joanna, but she had fallen in love with Winston.

“Hurry up and finalize the divorce, bastard! You’re a piece of shit!” Rachel shouted as they left.

Millie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after witnessing Rachel’s temper.

“Come on, you’re a movie star! Is it really okay for you to be cursing in public like that?” Millie asked jokingly.

“Please, my best friend is getting treated like trash by her husband! I couldn’t care less about my image right now!” Rachel said through gritted teeth.

She had already done her best to hold back just now.

If she followed the script of her usual female lead roles, she would already have slapped Joanna into next week.

How could she dare to act so cocky in front of Winston’s actual wife?

“Let’s go somewhere,” Rachel sald as she opened the door and beckoned for Millie to enter.

“Where?” Millie asked.

“I’ll buy you flowers! I’ll buy you a whole truckload! Heck, I’ll buy you a whole garden!” Rachel declared.

It was just a stupid bouquet of flowers! What was there to show off about it?

Millie approached Winston and was about to walk outside with him.

Suddenly, Terrence grabbed her arm.

Millie and Winston looked at him at the same time. He was clearly in a horrible mood, and his expression was as flat and cold as a rock.

He said, “Millie, talk things out as soon as you can. The earlier you two let each other go, the better for everyone involved.”

It wasn’t hard to cheer Millie up.

Millie said, “Go back and rest.

She hung up and suddenly saw Simon’s name in her call history.

It was a phone call that had been almost two minutes long.

Why didn’t she remember ever calling Simon?

She checked the details of the call and froze. Dawn?

Who had picked up the call? Her mind suddenly bloomed with an impossible answer. Could it have been Winston?

Suddenly, someone called out for her. “Millie, come downstairs!”

Was T

It and he sounded angry.

Millie made a questioning noise and rushed downstairs. However, the moment she reached the stairwell, she saw the person standing in the doorway.

Her breathing stilled.

Was Winston insane? What was he doing here?

Terrence had a deep frown on his face and was stopping Winston from stepping into the house.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black slacks. He stood impossibly straight and was holding a

black box.

From what she remembered, it was Winston’s third time visiting.

The first time was when she forced Winston to come to their house so she could introduce him to her parents. She had told them that she wasn’t going to marry anyone apart from him for the rest of her

life.

The second time was when he had fallen in love with Joanna and steeled himself to come to the Caldwells‘ and ask for a divorce. The whole Caldwell family had fallen into a state of depression that day while he left like nothing had happened.

This was the third time, and what was this for? It was to say sorry on Joanna’s behalf.

Millie stood where she was and looked at Winston with unspeakable sorrow. It was a painful feeling, and she couldn’t describe it as “sadness” alone.

“Your ex–husband is here for you,” Terrence said harshly.

Winston wasn’t surprised at Terence’s reaction. After all, Millie had hurt Terrence the most in her adamance to marry Winston.

Winston, on the other hand, had hurt Terrence’s beloved daughter.

Millie pressed her lips into a thin line. Winston was already at her doorstep, which meant she couldn’t run any longer.

It wasn’t hard to cheer Millie up.
