Julia knew what Millie was going to do. However, she chose not to ask further, sensing that she was feeling a bit low.
Millie drove a black car and played loud music on the road. The cold wind made her feel more awake.
As she got closer to the courthouse, she felt more relaxed. But it wasn’t until she caught sight of Winston smoking at the courthouse that she got slightly anxious. At that moment, she realized that she wasn’t calm enough.
He leaned against the car, feeling the cold morning air. He appeared cold and looked up to meet Millie’s eyes.
Millie gazed at Winston in silence, her grip on the steering wheel tightening gradually. She frowned slightly. He had kept his promise to show up, yet her heart felt strangely empty.
Winston put out the cigarette and tossed it into the trash can.
Millie stepped out of the car and approached him. They exchanged a glance. Unexpectedly, Winston smiled. “You look stunning today.”
Millie was stunned. She was just wearing a simple white dress and a knitted cardigan.
“You used to always dress like this back in university,” he said as he walked inside.
Millie gazed as Winston walked away, feeling a sudden sadness. She couldn’t help but feel sorry that these words wer
only said now. If he could say it back then, she couldn’t imagine how much joy she would feel. She would even believe she was the happiest person alive.
Millie forced a bitter smile and replied, “Is that so?”
Winston remained silent as they entered the courthouse. Millie occasionally glanced at his profile. Although he appeared composed, his eyes were slightly dim. ?
They walked together to the counter. The staff looked at the documents, sighed, and asked, “Have both of you really thought about it and agreed?”
Winston and Millie exchanged a meaningful glance. After a moment of silence, Millie nodded and gazed into Winston’s eyes. She replied softly, “Yes.”
It wasn’t just a reply to the staff but also an exchange with Winston. She had made her decision, and so had Winston. Their relationship had come to an end, and he could finally marry the love of his life.
Winston frowned. He seemed to have something on his mind but chose to stay quiet, just like last night. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Millie turned to face the staff, who then fixed his gaze on Winston. “Mr. Greer, have you made up your mind? Are you both certain about getting a divorce?”
Winston looked down and was about to say something Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. Then, an elderly woman called out, “Mills…”
Millie immediately turned to find none other than Selma, with Gloria right behind her. Without hesitation, Millie stood up.
Winston looked confused, wondering why they came.
Selma gazed at Millie in silence, her reluctance evident in her eyes. Without saying a word, she held Millie’s hand firmly. Similarly, Gloria did not say a word.
“Grandma, I’ll still visit you regularly, alright?” Millie said, tucking Selma’s stray hair behind her ears. Selma nodded, her eyes gradually turning red. Millie felt an overwhelming sadness as she looked at her. Gloria’s eyes held a hint of a smile as she nodded, letting Millie know she could do whatever she wanted. Millie glanced at Winston again. He was quiet. She wondered if she would agree to reconcile now if he asked her to.
