Chapter 107

Millie carefully considered Winston’s words, gazing intently at his face before replying gently, “I’mseeking a 6‘ 3” male athlete who is charming, handsome, and exceptional in bed.”

Winston sneered, startled by the obscene words coming out of Millie’s mouth. Exceptional in bed?He pinched Millie’s chin, his gaze growing icier. “Are you that lonely?”

“You’re out there having all the fun, so what’s wrong with me replaceing a male athlete? Is it illegal?”Millie

asked.

Winston was about to answer her question when Millie added, “Winston, men shouldn’t have doublestandards. If you want me to be a devoted wife and dutifully follow your lead at home, then youmust adhere to the same principle.”

Winston gazed at her, rendered speechless. After a long while, he asked, “Are you complaining?”

“Yes, I am.” She was complaining that he had disappointed her for the past three years and that heseemed to be planning to divorce her, but his actions were confusing her.

He constantly gave her hope but kept disappointing her, deeply hurting her feelings. It felt like hewanted to see her suffer. She was just a regular woman, not a heartless person.

The car fell into a momentary silence. Millie gazed out the window and heard him say, “Millie, youinsisted on marrying me.”

Millie immediately turned her head to look at Winston, her eyes brimming with tears. She asked,“So, do I deserve to be abandoned?”

Winston remained silent as he drove the car, visibly tense. Millie realized she had lost hercomposure, so she lowered her head and stopped talking. She didn’t ask about their destinationuntil the car stopped in front of a private kitchen.

Winston stepped out of the car and opened the door for her. Millie had regained her composure andasked, “Why are we here?”

“Get out of the car.” He walked ahead after that.

Millie paused. The surroundings were quiet, with only a few shops illuminated by warm yellow lights.Millie followed.

Winston pushed open the door to the private kitchen, and a robust man in his 30s emerged.Spotting

“Mr. Greer.”

Winston, he greeted him respectfully

“No spicy food and looking back.

Safood. Everything else is fine.” Then he walked into a private room without

The man gazed at Millie and nodded. “Mrs. Greer.”

“We’ve just finished our dinner, and now you’re taking me to eat again?” Millie frowned, expressingher displeasure.

“Did you really eat?” He glanced at Millie, his tone accusatory.

Both of them were visibly frustrated, their tension palpable. When the man brought the plates andcutlery, he couldn’t help but wonder if the two were truly husband and wife.

Millie sat silently in the chair with her arms crossed. Winston pulled out his phone, and at thatmoment, Eli called. He stood up, walked toward the window, and asked seriously, “What’s thematter?”

“Mr. Greer, there is new information about what happened four years ago. A witness saw Ms.Caldwell on the beach after you were taken there.”

Winston immediately turned to look at Millie. She noticed his gaze and stared back at him with adetermined look in her doe eyes, wondering why he was watching her.

Winston fowered his head and commanded in a low voice, “Go to the cell and bring out the suspectwho kidnapped me.”

If he wanted to discover who had saved him, the most direct approach would be to ask the only

survivor.

“Alright. I’ll take care of it tomorrow morning!”

After the call, Winston felt conflicted because of what Eli said. A witness had seen Millie on thebeach
