Chapter 45
He had always reminded everyone around them both that he didnât love her.
However, she would always run into his embrace without looking back
Millie lowered her head in exhaustion.
Suddenly, she heard the man beside her say, âMillle, Iâm sorry for these past three years.â
Millie turned around to look at him, and their eyes met. Millie smiled and said openly. âWhy are you apologizing? It was all because of my insistence.
In the past, she wouldâve blamed him for not loving her.
She would hate Joanna for coming between them.
Now that she had fallen, she knew to seek the problems in herself.
The fact that they had gotten to this point was nobody elseâs problem. She could only blame herself.
Irony flashed across her eyes.
She didnât want his reparations.
The doors opened, and Millie walked in.
Winston wanted to come in. However, he was barred outside.
Millie looked up and smiled. She said, âThereâs no need to follow me, so please stop here, Mr. Greer.â
nston looked at her calmly and took a step backward.
Millie smiled and retracted her hand.
The doors closed slowly. Winston remained looking at her until she disappeared from sight.
Millie bit her lips and took a deep breath.
They should just stop here.
Millie had just left the hospital when she met Joanna.
She wore a pretty pink dress and looked like a little princess.
Joanna scanned Millie from head to toe and asked, âAre you here to see Grandma?â
Millie narrowed her eyes and responded thornily. Do I need to present a report to you?â
Joanna harrumphed and asked, âWhy
Snowdrop, weâll see whether Grandmore you acting so high and mighty? Once I give Grandma the
likes you anymore.â
âOh? I heard that the black market had banned the Snowdrop yesterday. Had the Lowells acquired it?â
âOf course! The Lowells have never let what we wanted slip from our hands!â Joanna raised her chin and got into Millieâs face. She glared at her and asked, âYou donât know the M Base, do you?â

Joanna narrowed her eyes. M Base? She knew it too well.
âI donât know. Whatâs M Base? You know me, Ms. Lowell. I donât pay attention to these things. I only know the news related to Winston.â Millie blinked and played dumb.
Upon hearing it, disdain flashed across her eyes. She didnât suspect otherwise. Millie was like that.
Other than things related to Winston, she wasnât interested in anything else.
âMillie, youâre so out of touch. How could you not know M Base?â
âThe famous M is my friend! He got me the Snowdrop!â Joanna huffed proudly.
Millieâs eyes widened. She suppressed the mocking glint in her eye and acted surprised, âReally? Ms. Lowell is so impressive!â
Why didnât M know that she had this friend?
However, Joanna wasnât lying. To a certain extent, they were friends.
Joanna didnât detect the sarcasm in her tone. She asked, âMillie, you will come to Grandmaâs birthday celebration, right?
If you flatter me enough, Iâll give you an opportunity to take a look at what the Snowdrop looks like, alright?â
Millie smiled. She said nothing.
Joanna glanced at her and took it as though she was pretending to be happy.
She tidied her appearance and said, âAfter all, a family like the Caldwells would probably never come into contact with such a precious herb!â
Joanna narrowed her eyes. A family like the Caldwells?
What about them?
Although they werenât one of the biggest families, they were famous enough.
Joanna said lightly, âThen, I guess should I thank you first, right, Ms. Lowell?â Joanna tilted her head before continuing, âYou have to show me the Snowdrop during Grandmaâs celebration!â
Joannaâs tone was infused with flattery.
This satisfied Joanna greatly.
Joanna smiled and laughed. âDonât worry. We were best friends, after all. Iâll definitely let you take a look!â
Coldness flashed in her eyes.
It seemed like she had to go to this birthday celebration!
