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

League 454



Sean pouted. "Are you avoiding me? Let's have a chat.

"What's there to talk about?" She, casually glanced at him before picking up her wine glass again.

He stopped her and took the glass away from her to drink it. She immediately held his wrist, stopping him "Mr. Stringer, you shouldn't drink."

After all, he hadn't fully recovered.

"That's going to be so boring," Sean grumbled. What was the point of attending a party if one couldn't drink?

Smiling, Millie picked up a glass of water and some non-alcoholic drinks

for him. "Try these instead." "I don't want to." He pushed aside the other drinks and insisted on drinking alcohol.

Frowning, she cautioned, "Drinking will make your wound fester. If it doesn't heal in time, you need to be in the hospital again."

"That's fine. You're at the hospital, aren't you?" He flashed her a mischievous grín, causing her heart to sink.

Sean might be smiling and innocent, but he was quietly making advances. She turned away and refused to engage further with him.

Little did she know that Winston was staring at them both, his grip on his glass tightening.

Since when did Millie and Sean become so comfortable with each other? Why were they laughing and chatting away? Not only that, she stopped Sear Winston was upset about them.

Joanna suddenly purred at him, "Win."

He turned toward her.

With a smile, she asked, "Shall we say hi to my brother? He's here too."

Winston looked up and spotted Logan, which was

odd, given that Logan had claimed he would be absent when they talked over the phone the day before.

Still, he nodded at Joanna and went with her to greet Logan.

Meanwhile, Sean wouldn't stop tailing Millie. Wherever Millie went, he'd be there.

She felt helpless at his antics. "Why are you following me everywhere?"

All she wanted was to be left alone at the party.

Shrugging, he replied innocently, "You're the only one I know at this party."

"But I thought Winston and Jake were your friends," she said, smiling wryly at him,

"Oh, are you talking about those two..." Sean glanced in the direction of his friends; Winston was greeting

a Lowell family member, while Jake was busy flirting with young ladies.

+25 BO!

None of them spared any thought for their poor friend, who had freshly arrived from abroad and knew no one in Yerwick.

He let out a pitiful sigh. Millie sank into silence. Fine, then. She relented and took a seat with Sean in a quiet comer.

"Why did you and Win get a divorce?" he suddenly asked.

Toying with her wine glass, Millie replied calmly, "We separated because we were no longer in love."

There weren't many reasons for a divorce aside from growing apart.

"Isn't it because of Win's affair?" Sean confronted her, but she dared not openly accuse Winston of having an affair.

He leaned forward to stare into her eyes and followed up, "Do you still love him?"

Millie met his gaze with confusion. He had a pair of clear eyes-those that belonged to someone who hadn't experienced the trials and tribulations of life.

She assumed that life abroad was different.

Just as she was about to answer, he suddenly leaned closer and blinked at her. She struggled to read him.

Millie was exceptionally dazzling. At the end of the day, he realized that Chirean's beauties were more to his taste.

With a frown, he licked his lips and half-joked, “Millie, may I kiss you?"
