Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Millie was no longer the girl she used to be. The remnants of her old life no longer suited the woman she had become. "These... take a look and see if there's anything you can use. Want anything, take it; the rest, please help me toss it."

"Wait, you're getting rid of all this?"

"Yeah."

Her roommate just stared in disbelief.

After a quick trip to her dorm, where she picked up nothing, Millie walked out of the college gates and dialed her driver to pick her up.

Amidst the surprised, envious, and speculative glances of those around her, she calmly got into the backseat of her car and drove away with a flourish.

That evening, Millie was surprised to find that Murray had unusually come home early.

Smiling, she greeted him, "Murray, I've got great news. I've submitted my withdrawal application to the college today. From now on, I can focus on taking care of you and our baby."
