âWeâre about to divorce, and Iâm ready to move forward. But why does it still hurt so much?â Millie asked with a frown, trying to seek answers from Rachel.
Would Rachel understand the shockwave that swept through her when she witnessed Joanna hugging and acting coyly with Winston?
âMills, you just need time,â Rachel comforted her.
Millie loved Winston so much and would give up everything for him. This kind of affection wasnât something that would fade away overnight.
âBut Rachâ¦â Millieâs tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably as she said aggrievedly, âHe never chose me.
âWhen Joanna and I fell, he protected her. He said heâd send me home, but he immediately left me alone when she appeared. Whenever Joanna is hurt, heâll blame
And yet, why couldnât she let go?
Millie was devastated and continued to pour out her pain like a child to Rachel.
âIt hurts so bad.â
Falling in love with Winston had been incredibly painful. If Millie could turn back time, she genuinely wished she had never met him.
âRach, am I not worthy of love?â
Rachelâs heart ached as she softly consoled her, âMills, donât be so hard on yourself. Youâve been brave and passionate. Youâve done your best. Itâs just that Winston isnât the one meant for you.â

She tried to use a tissue to dab at Millieâs makeup, but it only made things worse, smudging it darker.

Since Millie had a tendency to wander off when she had had too much to drink, Rachel repeatedly reminded her, âDonât go anywhere! If you get lost, I wonât come looking for you.â
Millie frowned. She couldnât help but think Rachel was being a nag.
After leaving countless reminders, Rachel hurried off to find a server for wet wipes.
Millie sat alone, leaning against the couchâs backrest. Her mind grew foggy in no time, and she had completely forgotten what Rachel had told her.
She rose and headed to the dance floor again. There, she grabbed a man to ask, âAm I not worthy of being liked?â
âMs. Caldwell, are you okay?â the man asked with concern.
Millie was displeased with his response. She insisted, âAnswer me!â
âOf course you are. Why wouldnât you be worthy?â
Satisfied, Millie moved on to find the next person. She staggered along, her face flushed red. The smudged makeup gave her an adorable and comical appearance.
The dance floor spotlight focused on her as she crouched on the ground. Suddenly, a pair of menâs leather shoes appeared before her eyes.

Her stomach churned violently as if she might throw up
All at once, silence enveloped the surroundings, and everyone took a step back.
As the alcohol numbed her senses, Millie closed her eyes before struggling to stand up. However, her abrupt movement caused her to lean forward.
She immediately felt a warm sensation on her waist. In the next second, someone held her up.
Millie frowned, her doe eyes unfocused as she glanced up. The dim lights obscured the personâs face from her view. So, she softly asked, âDo you think Iâm unworthy of love?â

Millie tilted her head once more. She stepped forward, and her toe touched their
black leather shoes. Everything seemed to unfold naturally.
