Chapter 197
Millie looked up and noticed the blood dripping from the back of Winston’s hand. She couldn’t help but glare at him. “Aren’t you the same?”
“Do good deeds without expecting a reward.” Winston suddenly stood at the exact spot where Cara had been standing.
Upon seeing that, Millie’s heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he turned and asked, “Millie, do you remember saying that you wanted to jump off the building before?”
Millie was rendered speechless.
“You probably don’t remember. Let me help jog your memory.” Winston found it intriguing and couldn’t resist crouching before her.
He smiled and said, “Last year, you sent me a message one night. You said you were unwell and that if I didn’t return, you would jump off the building and ask me to retrieve your body.”
Millie’s expression grew gloomy. Indeed, she did say that. She was so dumb at the time. She would have said anything stupid just to threaten Winston.
Fortunately, she still valued her life. She didn’t truly take risks with her life. Now, looking back, she wished she could smack some sense into her past self.
Upon seeing Millie’s agitated expression, Winston smiled and continued, “Three months ago, you also mentioned wanting to jump off a building because you hadn’t seen me in over a month. Do you recall which building it was? You said it was the Greer Group…”
Millie turned, ready to leave, when Winston called out to her. “Aren’t you going to jump off the building now?”
Millie stopped. Cara’s experience served as a powerful wake–up call for her. Such actions. wouldn’t attract men’s attention, but instead, would only repel them.
Love could not be forced. It was a natural feeling that blossomed between two people.
Millie turned and smiled at Winston. “I won’t do that again. I won’t jump off the building for you anymore, and I won’t do any other stupid thing for you either.”
Her smile was radiant. The light from the rooftop illuminated her, like a reminder of her original self. Back in high school, she always greeted him with that same smile and called his name, “Win!”
It had been a while since she had smiled at him like that. He couldn’t pinpoint exactly when it had begun, but tensions had been rising between the two of them,
