Chapter 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.

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.

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