Isabella hesitated. “What about you and Howard?”
Milly’s lips curved into a soft, reassuring smile. “Nothing will change.” It was rare for Milly to say much, and she usually only smiled when speaking with Howard. So, her smile now left Isabella momentarily stunned. It was clear Milly had made up her mind and felt secure in her relationship with her brother.
After a brief pause, Isabella nodded. “Alright, I’ll approve it. According to this plan, you have three assignments tomorrow, followed by filming a show with Watkins the day after.
Then—“
“Thank you, Isabella,” Milly said gently. “If possible, I’d like you to arrange more work for me. I want to make as much money as I can.”
Isabella didn’t entirely understand why Milly felt that way, but she chose to respect her decision. “If any good opportunities come up, I’ll let you know,” she said with a small nod.
After Isabella left, Milly leaned back on the sofa, her expression calm as always. She reviewed her upcoming schedule, then picked up her phone to check her bank account details.
Her lips curled into a subtle smile as she saw the updated balance. Without a second thought, she transferred most of it to Howard’s account and sent him a message. “Go ahead, spoil yourself!”
A few moments later, her phone vibrated. First, an adorable brown bear stomping its feet popped up on her screen, followed by a voice message from Howard.
“Thanks, babe! There’s this recipe I’ve been wanting to try—I’ll grab the ingredients after work and cook it for you. And don’t worry, I’ll bring your favorite snacks too! Is there anything else you’d like?”
Milly smiled, her fingers lightly tapping the phone as she replayed his voice message a couple of times. Finally, she responded with a cute bunny emoji shaking its head. “Nothing else!”
Howard’s reply came quickly. “Got it. Love you, babe. You always make my day.”
As the chat ended, Milly felt a wave of contentment. Her thoughts drifted to Howard’s reaction the first time she’d surprised him by transferring money to his account.
She loved the way his eyes lit up, and his smile radiated happiness. It was a smile she wanted to see more often, and for that, she needed to work harder. Money was important, but it was his happiness that truly mattered.
It was a good thing. It gave her the ability to care for the person she adored. And he appreciated being taken care of, which made it all the more worth it.
The hit drama, a sweeping tale of love that spanned three lifetimes—human world, demon realm, and heaven—had taken the world by storm.
Milly and Watkins played the lead couple, their first two lives marked by tender moments and deep regrets. In their third and final life, everything finally fell into place. But just as they were on the brink of their perfect, happy ending, they sacrificed all their powers and life force for the greater good of the world.
The plot was a gut-wrenching rollercoaster, leaving fans emotionally shattered, but the chemistry between Milly and Watkins felt so real that viewers began to believe they weren’t just a couple on-screen but off-screen as well.
The fan base exploded, with fans editing videos and flooding social media with their fanfictions about the fourth life—imagining what Milly and Watkins’s relationship would look like in the real world. The fanfictions were filled with sweetness, and many viewers, still wiping away tears from watching the drama’s most heart-wrenching scenes, flocked to social media, eagerly devouring every fanfiction they could find.
During promotional events, Milly and Watkins never once played up their off-screen connection, but their effortless rapport made their pairing appear all the more genuine. Their chemistry was undeniable, and fans watched closely for any hint of something more.
Howard had just come home from work. As he passed by the living room, he saw Elaine and Glenn sitting together, engrossed in Milly’s latest drama.
Elaine had a soft heart, so it wasn’t surprising to see her moved to tears by the tragic plot. She grabbed her phone and headed straight to social media, searching for “fourth-life” fanfictions to soothe her aching heart.
Not noticing Howard’s return, she pulled Glenn over, excitedly saying, “Look at what the fans are writing! This is the ending they deserve! And these videos—oh my gosh, they’re so touching. I’ve decided, I’m joining the fan base.
Milly and Watkins are definitely a real couple!”
Milly, of course, was already set to be their daughter-in-law, so there was no way she could be involved with Watkins. If there really was something between them, it would send the whole family into turmoil. Glenn understood this, but he had long grown accustomed to his wife’s emotional outbursts.
He handed Elaine a tissue and supported her, saying, “Well, if you’re joining, I’ll follow along. I’ll become their fan as well.”
“You’re the best, honey.”
Despite their loving exchange, Howard’s mood soured.
He stood there, listening, growing more uncomfortable by the second. On the screen, Watkins’s character was delicately brushing a dried leaf from Milly’s hair, the scene drenched in emotion. Beautifully shot, yes—but it didn’t sit well with Howard.
He knew it was just a show, but the knot in his stomach wouldn’t loosen. Watching Watkins on screen stirred something inside him—something like annoyance.
Milly had kept their relationship a secret, especially since she was focused on building her career.
Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz, pairing Milly’s name with Watkins’s. Howard, the real boyfriend, was left to watch from the sidelines.
Howard’s long lashes fluttered in frustration as he stepped away from the living room, dialing Milly’s number.
“Babe, I’m not happy…”
Milly had just finished an interview when she saw Howard’s name flash on her phone. She answered immediately.
“Howard?” Milly heard the discontent in Howard’s voice.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, concern lacing her words.
Howard, holding the phone, was unsure how to put his feelings into words. He knew he was being irrational—Milly was busy with work, and here he was, sulking. He couldn’t expect her to manage his emotions too.
He answered, “Just hearing your voice makes everything better. Are you done with work? Should I pick you up?”
Milly, sensing Howard’s mood hadn’t fully lifted, replied, “I’m done with work. I’m heading to the parking lot now. I’ll be home soon.” As she drove down the street, Milly spotted a beautiful flower shop ahead.
She remembered what a director had said during filming—flowers could brighten someone’s day when they were feeling low. She wasn’t sure if it would work on Howard, but she decided to give it a shot.
Milly parked the car, threw on a mask and hat, and walked into the shop.
The shop owner greeted her warmly.
“Welcome! What kind of flowers are you looking for?”
It was Milly’s first time in a flower shop. Glancing around, unsure of what to choose, she looked up at the owner and asked, “I want to buy flowers for someone who’s feeling down. Do you have any suggestions?”
Her genuine curiosity shone in her eyes, and the shop owner was caught off guard. For a moment, she just stared, speechless.
There was something so pure in Milly’s eyes.
Milly quickly realized she probably should’ve worn sunglasses and repeated her request.
The owner snapped out of her daze and suggested, “If you’re buying flowers for someone who’s upset, you could go for lilies, sunflowers, or even white lychee roses…”
“I’ll take the white lychee roses, please,” Milly said softly.
“Of course, Miss. I’ll wrap them up for you,” the shop owner replied with a smile.
After Milly paid and left, the shop owner stood by the door, watching her get into her car. Something about her felt familiar, but she couldn’t quite place it. Shrugging, she returned inside to tidy up the counter. Feeling a bit tired, she decided to take a break and scrolled through her phone, stopping on an interview with her favorite actress. Her eyes widened. The actress in the video was wearing the exact same outfit as the customer who had just left.
“Wait… could it be…” She shot up from her seat, her voice breaking into an excited shout.
“Oh my God! That was Milly! Milly came to my shop to buy flowers!”
The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning—she had just served Milly! Excited yet regretful, she hurriedly opened Milly’s fan community forum and made a post.
“You guys won’t believe this—Milly just came to my shop to buy flowers! She had a mask and hat on, but her eyes were absolutely mesmerizing. I didn’t realize it was her until she left, and now I’m kicking myself!”
To prove her claim, she attached a side-profile photo of Milly from the shop’s security footage. The fan community immediately erupted with comments.
“OMG, you’re so lucky! I wish I owned the flower shop!”
“Even her silhouette is stunning. She’s the epitome of elegance!”
“Why didn’t you ask for an autograph? Such a missed chance!”
The shop owner enthusiastically replied to as many comments as she could, her excitement growing by the second. Then, one comment caught her eye.
“Why do you think Milly was buying flowers? White lychee roses, no less—could she be in love?”
This simple question set off a flurry of responses.
“Impossible! Milly’s schedule is insane. She doesn’t have time for love!”
“She probably just likes flowers. Don’t start baseless rumors.”
