League 28
Chapter 28
“Joanna, aren’t you going overboard?” Simon asked immediately.
“That’s the point. It wouldn’t be a challenge if it weren’t daring, would it?” Joanna wiggled her wristand flashed a smile at Simon, trying to appear innocent.
Simon frowned at her. He clenched his right hand into a fist. He hadn’t interacted much with Joannabefore, and now he was beginning to see how unreasonable she could be.
“Fine,” Millie said as she stepped forward to stand next to Joanna.
“You don’t have to accept her challenge, Mills,” Simon reminded
hér.
Millie was never one to back down from a challenge. She meant it when she said she would dosomething. She raised an eyebrow and replied, “It’s just a kiss. What’s there to be afraid of? It’s notlike I haven’t kissed someone before.”
Winston’s expression turned colder as he narrowed his eyes. He wondered about the meaningbehind her words. He called out, ”
Millie.”
Millie looked at him with a serene expression.
“Are you sure? Do you really want to compete with Jo?” Winston asked sternly, his voice growingdeeper.
“Mr. Greer, are you worried that I might lose and end up kissing someone else?” Millie teased asshe looked directly at Winston.
Winston snorted. His expression turned serious as he replied in a sarcastic tone, “Who you kiss isnone of my business. I’m just worried that you’ll lose terribly!”
At first, Joanna was startled to hear Winston call out to Millie. She
kept her eyes on him but was relieved to learn that he didn’t care about Millie at all. She smirkedand her eyes began to glow with
smugness.
Millie and Joanna exchanged a look before quickly going into competitive mode. Millie felt anunusual calm in her heart as she focused on the hole in the distance.
Even though Simon was a calm and mature man, he couldn’t help but feel a tad anxious in thissituation. He snapped, “M Greer, Millie’s your wife. It’s hurtful the way you and your new flame areganging up on her like this.”
“Isn’t she the one you’re seeing now?” Winston turned to Simon.
With a smile, Simon replied, “Winston, Millie can’t play golf. She’ll definitely lose! Aren’t youbothered by her kissing another guy?”
Even if it was true that Winston had no feelings for Millie, the divorce proceedings were still inprogress. Simon couldn’t believe that Winston would be fine with his wife kissing another man.
Winston’s expression remained unreadable.
“Or maybe you and Ms. Lowell have already…” Simon stared at Winston, his words fading.
“Mr. Harrison, I’ll give you some leeway out of respect for your father. But please, mind yourmanners!” Winston sounded annoyed.
Simon frowned and decided not to argue anymore.
Winston looked ahead with a somber expression. Millie took two shots but missed both.
Meanwhile, Joanna was doing great. She made three out of five shots. She looked at Millie everytime she took a shot to keep Millie under pressure.
Although Millie seemed calm, she was starting to sweat 1:

her forehead. She still couldn’t get the ball into the hole on her third attempt.
Winston felt an unexplained sense of unease in his chest. Simon’s words kept replaying in histhoughts. He quietly criticized Millie for being a person who had always put up a brave front sincehigh school. She competed with Joanna even though she couldn’t play golf.
“Mills, why not give up?” Joanna whispered.
Instead of replying, Millie took her fourth shot.
