What was Millie trying to say?
Knowing she had piqued Winston’s interest, Millie decided this was the night to tie up loose ends, as they would go their separate ways after tonight.
Pursing her lips, she went up to him and stared into his eyes. With a serious face, she began, “Back when you were–achoo!”
She sneezed without warning just when the words were about to come out. She sniffled and rubbed her arm. It wasn’t this cold earlier.
“Are you cold?” While asking, he took off his jacket.
She shook her head and stopped him. No. She did not feel cold at all.
Millie was ready to resume the conversation when she heard someone tutting. The random person jeered, “How could you keep the jacket after she stopped you? As a man, you can’t be that dull!”
The remark, loaded with mockery, attracted the attention of Millie and Winston. They looked to the side and spotted a familiar guy on a bench. He was no other than Kennedy.
“Kennedy, why are you here?” Millie looked surprised.
“I followed you here. I am worried about you going home alone,” he replied flippantly and crossed his
arms.
Winston frowned at him. Since when was Millie close with Kennedy? Did they start dating recently?
“This is nothing. I always went home after midnight in the past.” She checked the time on her phone.
Winston shot her a forlorn look. This felt like she was confiding her grievances in another man in front of
her ex–husband.
“Yeah. I bet that happened because you were in a paper marriage.” Kennedy went up to them with a grin.
