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

League 457



Winston lowered his gaze onto Millie's face.

Millie watched the stranger pause and leave the scene. After that, she removed Winston's hand from her shoulder.

"Thanks, Mr. Greer," she said flatly.

"You're welcome," Winston replied in a dull tone.

With her head hung low, she prepared to head indoors, but Winston stopped her. "Millie."

"Yeah?" She looked up calmly.

"What were you trying to say to me on the bench last night?" The question troubled him for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what she tried to say.

She pursed her lips. The look in her eyes deepened. "There are many people around here. It's not the best place to talk about it."

Besides, it'd take her a while to go through everything.

“Is it something important?" Winston asked.

She laughed. "Yes. It is important to me."

She nearly lost her life for him, but perhaps that wasn't important to him. Forcing a smile, she explained. But I don't know if it matters as much to you." She'd be really happy if Winston assigned the truth with great importance. If not, she would only feel that she had wasted her affection on the wrong m She had no one but herself to blame for her ordeals.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“So?" Curious, he pressed on. What exactly was she trying to tell him?

She frowned. The gentle breeze caressed their figures. A dim source of light illuminated her face.

She opened her mouth. Winston waited with a stare and bated breath.

She clutched her fist. Since going back indoors might take a while, and Winston was right in front of her at the moment, she might as well spit it out. “Alright. I'm asking you now. When you got abducted, did you know that it was-"

Her words were cut short by

Joanna's arrival. "Millie, Win, what

are you chatting about?" Joanna

piped up. Millie turned to look at her. She watched as Joanna walked

toward them and grabbed Winston's arm

Winston frowned at Millie. What exactly happened when he was abducted?

Jake showed up after Joanna. "Hey, are you all hiding away up here?"

He handed Winston a glass of wine. "Winston, someone downstairs is looking for you."

"I have something to speak to Millie about. All of you may leave first, I'll be there in a moment, Winston replied to Jake.

Leaning against a pillar, Sean drawled, "They can't start the drinking session without you, Winston. You should really hurry up and go now."

Joanna studied Millie's expression. Millie merely lowered her gaze and took a sip of the red wine.

A frown was etched on Winston's forehead. If this was about the abduction, the truth would certainly be an important and massive revelation.

Still, he grunted at his friends. "Okay."

“Win, just go. I'll have a chat with Millie,” Joanna said to Winston.

He took another look at Joanna, who wore a sweet smile. She cooed, "Don't worry. I'll get along well with her."

"I'll be here," Jake offered as he shot Winston a knowing look.

He could read Winston's worries. In the past, Joanna loved pulling underhanded moves on Millie and shifting blame onto her. He heard about such oc

However, as Winston's friend, he wasn't in a position to speak up for Millie because Winston was overly doting on Joanna at that time.

Joanna felt irritated by Winston's

lack of trust. In the beginning, he had

doted

excessively on her, but now,

he had to take a second look at her whenever she spoke.

It was a heartbreaking change of attitude indeed.

A crowd started forming on the deck. Joanna noticed Jake and Sean standing nearby. She turned to Millie

and pointed at the chairs Milli

them. “Do you want to take a seat?"
