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

League 31

For a moment, Winston looked as though he was about to explain.

Outside, Simon asked, “Mills, have you found your phone?”

Winston felt a finger hook on his. He looked down to see Joanna staring at him, confusion in her eyes.

What was he doing? Why did he let her go upon seeing Millie walk in?

“I’ve found it. Let’s go,” Millie said and followed him out.

Joanna could tell that Winston’s mind was somewhere else. She couldn’t be bothered to play golf anymore. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Let’s go.” Joanna got up and walked out, dissatisfaction written across her face.

Winston noticed her foul mood and followed her. Jo,” he called her name softly.

Joanna pushed him away angrily, frustration visible in her eyes. Their perfect alone time was entirely destroyed.

Although Joanna loved Winston and was willing to make allowances for him, she still had feelings

that she couldn’t ignore.

Seeing that Joanna was ignoring him, Winston said calmly, “I’ll ask the driver to take you home.”

Joanna stopped walking. She looked at Winston questioningly, “What are you going to do after sending me home? Look for your ex–wife?”

She was angry!

Did he not want to appease her at all?

He even asked the driver to send her home! How did he even come up with that idea?

Winston frowned and roared, “Joanna!”

“Winston, do you even love me?” Joanna’s eyes reddened within seconds. Tears cascaded down her

cheeks.

The people around them looked over curiously. Upon recognizing Joanna and Winston, they began whispering among themselves.

Winston felt nothing but exhaustion.

“Stop making a fuss. I’ll take you home.” He took Joanna’s hand.

She shook out of his grasp immediately and looked at him in disappointment. As she left, she called her brother, “I’m at the golf course. Come get me now!”

Winston stood frozen in place.

The afternoon sunlight was glaring. However, clouds seemed to float above his head. It made him look melancholic.”

As she walked away, Joanna couldn’t help but slow down. She could never find it in herself to be cruel to Winston.

She was subtly giving him a chance, hoping he would chase after her. If Winston apologized to her sweetly, she wouldn’t stay angry at him.

Joanna bit her lip and counted down from three. When she got to two, she felt him grab her arm. Immediately, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

The man’s gentle voice rang out in her ears. “Jo, I was wrong. I’ll always choose you when it comes to – you and Millie.”

Joanna couldn’t help but cry. She sniffled, “I thought you didn’t love me anymore.”

Winston’s heart softened. He explained gently, “I’m just a little tired. How could I possibly not be in love with you? Let’s get you home.” He ruffled Joanna’s hair.

She walked away with him, still aggrieved. For whatever reason, she kept seeing Millie in Winston.

After sending her home, Winston invited Jake to go out drinking.

The bar was decked out in dim lights. It made his intimidating features look even icier.

Jake was holding a girl in his arms. They were flirting like there was no tomorrow.

Looking at them annoyed Winston. “Fuck off,” he said to Jake.

Jake chuckled and pushed the girl away to sit beside Winston, taking a sip of his wine. His black shirt was unbuttoned, showing off his firm, fair abs.

“Have you seen the news?” he asked.

Winston was rattled as he drank his wine. He asked, “What news?”
