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

League 156

Chapter 156

However, Winston’s attention was on Thomas. He mused, “Does this mean Millie has been spending time with Thomas, not Simon, over the last few days? Was Thomas the guy who called her ‘Mills‘ at the Grand Santiago Hotel?”

It was public knowledge that Arthur Caldwell had two sons. The eldest, Terrence, was an astute businessman. The younger, Thomas, wasn’t expected to be of much use as he was brazen and rebellious.

Defying expectations, Thomas went on to build his entertainment empire, running a company that was home to many talented and popular A- and B–listers.

Arthur and Layla had Thomas late in their life; thus, Arthur doted on him. Due to his outgoing and lively personality, Thomas was like a friend of the same age as Millie.

Thomas had always tried to talk Millie into joining the entertainment industry, but she insisted on living a boring home life with Winston.

Therefore, he was taken aback when he learned about their imminent divorce. At one point, he even assumed Millie was fooling around. After all, she couldn’t live without Winston.

However, reality began to set in when he witnessed Millie’s cold attitude toward Winston. He started to believe that she was serious about letting go, that she had fallen out of love with Winston.

After some deliberation, Thomas pulled a chair for Winston. Beaming, he said, “Since you’re here, why don’t you have dinner before you leave?”

Since Thomas insisted on having Winston around for dinner, Millie couldn’t do anything about it. She merely assumed that Winston would decline the invitation. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

After all, Winston had previously made clear his dislike of Thomas, believing that Thomas had only tried to cozy up to him due to his social status.

She stared in disbelief as Winston accepted the invitation and took the seat. The Caldwells and Winston sat at the dining table for what was about to be a drama–filled dinnertime.

Millie took a sip of water. She found the situation ironic. When she was deeply in love with Winston, he wouldn’t stay for a sumptuous dinner. Now that she wanted to leave, he willingly stayed for one.

Sighing, Terrence glared at Thomas, who had stirred the pot. “Alright now.”

The first half of the dinner went by in silence. Terrence occasionally brought up topics of conversation with Winston, but the end of each conversation was punctuated by silence. It was certainly far from a warm and merry dinner.

Thomas‘ cheeks took on a shade of red after a few drinks. He leaned back into the chair and pointed at Millie and Julia. “Mills, you’re growing to resemble your mom. When you were younger, you didn’t look like-”

Before he could finish his words, he sensed someone kicking him under the table. Frowning, he realized it was Julia, but he brushed it off as an accident. After all, it’d be highly inappropriate for Julia to deliberately engage in such an act with her brother

-in–law.

“Go on. What was I like as a child?” Millie asked, drinking her tea.

Julia forced a smile. “Well, kids usually don’tresemble anyone until they’re older.” She glared at Thomas in what was a silent admonishment.

Thomas realized he had nearly slipped up. He hurriedly waved and explained, “I’ve been monitoring the actors on the set lately. That’s why my comments sound right out of a script.”

Millie quietly studied Thomas and Julia. Somehow, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was more to their exchange.

However, she agreed that she grew to resemble Julia more as she aged. When she was a child, many had asked if she was adopted because she didn’t take after her parents.
