Chapter 493

Winston accepted Marvin’s reprimand silently.

Millie averted her gaze, unsure of how to face Winston, She couldn’t help but find everything excessively dramatic.

Sean sighed as he looked at the two of them. He yearned for Winston and Millie to end their relationship, hoping for Millie to be single. Yet, he couldn’t ignore the fact that Winston was his closest friend.

The issues in their relationship solely stemmed from Joanna, Nevertheless, he still hoped that Winston would apologize and make up with Millie.

Winston broke the long silence and spoke slowly with a hoarse voice, “Millie, let’s talk.”

Marvin found that further conversation would be pointless, so he was about to start scolding again. Without hesitation, Sean stopped Marvin and said, “Let’s go.”

He believed they should have a private conversation. They likely hadn’t had a calm discussion in the last three years.

Marvin was frustrated. “Why should we leave them alone to talk? I’d never allow my boss to be left alone with him. He has never shown any concern for her well–being.”

Whenever Millie was near Winston, she was always at risk. When Winston heard this, he felt ashamed. Eli rushed over and was relieved to find Millie still there. “Ms. Caldwell,” he said, greeting her.

Millie remained silent, giving a slight nod before glancing at the time.

The person in charge also reminded Millie. “Ms. Caldwell, it’s time to board the plane.”

Millie looked up and hummed in response.

With a frown, Winston immediately grabbed her wrist. “Millie, let me apologize to you!”

Millie’s gaze met Winston’s, her eyes remaining calm and indifferent despite his urgent tone. She noticed the panic in his eyes, something she had never seen before. The hot grip of his hand around her wrist made her uneasy.

“Millie…” He repeatedly called out Millie’s name but struggled to find the right words to begin.

Millie slowly removed Winston’s hand and said indifferently, “You don’t need to explain anything to me. Just go back and rest.”

He was unwell. The high temperature of his hand indicated that he was likely suffering from a fever. Millie wasn’t forgiving and didn’t feel the need to hear his apology. His actions had hurt her too much for a simple apology to make a difference.

In life, she and Winston had missed each other. She used to feel regretful for having loved him for so long without receiving anything in return. It felt incredibly unfair.

However, her perspective had changed. She realized that whether one gained or lost, it was all predetermined. In her caso, she was destined not to have Winston In her life.

Winston glanced at his hands by his sides and listened to her words, feeling unsettled. He was lost.

When a person no longer even wanted to accept an apology, the person must felt utterly disappointed. It also confirmed that he had lost her entirely.

He looked at her nervously, his voice gradually choking. “Millie, I don’t know. I really don’t know that it was you who saved me back then.”

He was unconscious at that time. Upon waking up, the first person he saw was Joanna, who claimed she had saved him but bore scars on her body. Eli conducted a secret investigation and discovered that it was Joanna indeed.

Meanwhile, Millie disappeared after he was kidnapped and rescued. She loved him dearly. He should have connected the dots.

“Would you love me if you knew?” Millie asked with a smile.

He

was at a loss for words.

“Then your love for me will be similar to your love for Joanna, as you give it to me out of gratitude for saving you,” Millie said with a faint smile.

Winston shook his head. His once strong and upright body now appeared slouched and defeated, a stark contrast to his usual vigor and vitality. His embarrassed demeanor left others wondering if this was truly the same Winston they once knew.

“Millie, I’m truly sorry for hurting you. I understand that a simple apology can’t make things right…” He approached her slowly, feeling weightless.
