The kiss quickly escalated out of control. Pierce's hands began to wander, lifting her clothing and gripping her. Millie found that she wasn't repelled by his closeness, but she didn't want it to happen in this unclear and distressing situation.She struggled with all her might. "Pierce, what do you think of me?""You're no different from Stefan right now!" she shouted angrily, feeling deeply wronged and her eyes welling up with tears.Pierce's body stiffened sharply at her words, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. He shouldn't be the abuser!He hurriedly returned to his seat and rolled down the window, letting the night breeze in.Millie felt helpless and gathered her clothes to cover herself."I'm sorry," Pierce finally spoke after a long silence. "I lost control. I shouldn't have treated you like this.""So you always thought this way about me? No matter what I said about not loving Stefan, you thought I was lying, that I still had a place for him in my heart."

"How many times do I have to say it for you to understand? I don't love Stefan anymore—I hate him! Can you help me to get rid of this? Please, I'm begging you!" Millie pleaded desperately.Pierce held her shoulders, his gaze steady on hers. "Are you sure you want me to remove it?"Millie nodded firmly."Then, close your eyes," he instructed. As if entranced, Millie obediently closed her eyes. In that moment, she was nothing short of perfect in Pierce's eyes. She had always been pure and innocent to him. Any inappropriate thoughts would be a form of disrespect to her, so he dared not entertain them.His eyes fell on the hickey on her neck. He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips against it. His tongue brushed gently over the hickey, and Millie shivered in response. It stung at first, but gradually, the pain ebbed away into a soothing warmth. The tenderness of his kiss seemed to dissolve her pain. Although his touch occasionally intensified the ache, it also awakened a fee

Upon hearing Sharon's words, Millie massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Yeah, you're right.""That's just terrible! No matter how hard you try to explain yourself, people will always doubt you when it comes to such a thing. Stefan is such a jerk! He really screwed you over!" Sharon exclaimed."I didn't expect him to be so paranoid either," Millie replied."Speaking of which, Pierce is way too patient, isn't he? Even with the idea that you might have cheated on him, he's still putting up with everything?" Sharon asked, incredulous. Millie sighed at Sharon's words. "What do you think? He doesn't have any feelings for me, and our marriage is contractual. What does he even care? Honestly, even if I stood naked in front of him, he wouldn't even bat an eye.""How can he stand it? You're gorgeous, and your figure is amazing. How could he not fall for you?" Sharon protested.If Sharon were a man, she'd be grinning in her sleep at the thought of having someone like Mill

"There are no painkillers left," Millie said."I'll ask the doctor to bring some over," Pierce said. Then, he picked up his phone to make a call.But Millie stopped him. "Never mind. It's so late now, and the doctor needs to rest. There's no need to bother him just for painkillers. I can go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get them myself."After all, it wasn't like she couldn't handle the pain for just one night."Does it hurt a lot?" Pierce asked.Wanting to spare him any guilt, Millie lied, "It's not that bad…"As she spoke, Pierce gently touched the bandage on her wound. Even though he was careful, his touch still made her wince in pain.It had hurt like hell!Seeing her reaction, Pierce frowned. "Actually, there's another kind of painkiller. Do you want to try it?""Really? What is it? As long as it can relieve the pain, any brand is fine," she asked quickly.Hearing this, Pierce took a step closer. He cupped Millie's head with one hand while pulling her closer to him. Mil

"I just went to buy it. Having a car makes it all so convenient," Pierce said.Millie replied, "I just didn't want to bother anyone, that's why I—" "—I'm not 'anyone,' and it's no trouble for me. Just take your medicine and get some rest," Pierce cut her off, his tone firm yet gentle. Noticing that he'd even brought her a glass of warm water, Millie felt moved, but it also left a bittersweet ache in her heart. Pierce was so thoughtful and treated her well. But she knew it was only because she was Mrs. Atkinson. As his lawful wife, it was his duty to care for her.Moreover, Pierce was a man with high principles who lived by his moral compass. That was why he was so good to her.Maybe he didn't see anything wrong with it, but this could lead her to fall even deeper for him.After all, how could anyone resist a man who had pulled her out of a living hell and given her respect and dignity? Specifically, Pierce always seemed to be there whenever she needed him most. Could such a g

"You're still lying in the hospital, and your injuries are severe. It'll take some time to heal. Do you think we should postpone our wedding?" Wanda asked. "No, it's fine. The doctor said I'll be able to walk by then. As long as I stay away from alcohol, there shouldn't be any problems," Stefan replied.Wanda felt a wave of relief. She had always dreamed of becoming Mrs. Leach, and now it was finally about to come true. She asked again, "How's the wedding dress coming along?" Honestly, Wanda didn't think her designers were good enough to design her wedding dress. She had wanted to ask Aurora to design it for her. But to her surprise, Stefan had already found a designer and told her not to worry. Since he had already made up his mind, she didn't want to argue. Holding her hand, Stefan said, "I'll check on it. Don't worry. I'll make sure you're the most beautiful bride in the world." Wanda smiled shyly in response before going off to fetch him something. After she left, Stefan
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 156
In truth, Stefan just couldn't handle how easily Millie had stopped loving him. Millie was clear that she could never compare to Wanda; there was always a difference between being able to have something and not being able to, and Stefan's wounded pride and frustration over losing her were what made him treat her this way.Millie also knew all too well that if she ever gave her heart back to Stefan, he would not only see her as easy and cheap but would eventually grow tired of her. Meeting his bloodshot eyes with a steady gaze, Millie pried his fingers off her wrist one by one. A surge of satisfaction washed over her, but she didn't let it show. After all, Stefan saw love and hate as the same thing. Hatred meant he still held a place in her heart. But to be neither loved nor hated? That was what would hurt him most. So, no matter how angry or resentful she felt, she had to keep her expression calm."You're mistaken, Mr. Leach. I don't love you anymore. You should go and live a g

Before long, Millie and Wanda arrived at the café downstairs from the hospital."Stay away from Stefan," Wanda threatened.Millie smiled and calmly took a sip of her coffee. "Please get it straight. I'm not obsessed with him; he's the one who's simping for me like crazy."Wanda felt a wave of relief at Millie's words. The voice recorder she had been secretly holding would finally come in handy! She feigned indignation and said, "Millie, do you have to be that rude? You and Stefan were together for three years!""He spent those three years telling everyone I was his simp. I don't think he's been kind to me at all," Millie shot back."It's my fault that Stefan broke your heart. I sincerely apologize and ask that you forgive him. Also, I don't need that wedding dress from you anymore. Anyway, I'll still pay you the money," Wanda said."What a good request! Once you send me the final payment, just draw up a contract and have a lawyer notarize it," Millie replied."Let's be honest, M

Pierce frowned slightly, confused about why the doctor insisted on Millie joining him for the consultation. Nevertheless, he respected the doctor's advice and called her over."Your wife is very pretty," the doctor remarked."Yes, she's beautiful," Pierce responded, proudly puffing out his chest.Millie rolled her eyes upon hearing that."Doctor, is there something wrong with him? Is it serious?" she nervously asked. When she learned that the doctor had specifically requested her presence, she was worried that Pierce might have some kind of serious health issue."Do you two not have a healthy sex life? Look at him—he's clearly been holding back too much. There's nothing wrong with him physically. But he's young, full of energy, and at the age where he needs… a release. "Should I examine you too, miss?" the doctor asked.The comment left Millie's face burning with embarrassment, and even the tip of Pierce's ears turned a faint red.The elderly doctor was certainly not one to mi

"Mills, are you inside?" Pierce called out.He'd hurried back home after the housekeeper told him that Millie had retreated to her room early. He thought she'd gone to bed, but the lights were still on, and there was no sign of her.However, the bathroom door was tightly shut. Worried that she might have passed out inside from staying in the bath for too long, Pierce knocked on the door. "Mills?"Millie wanted to respond, but no sound came out of her mouth. Her body felt completely drained."Mills?" Pierce's voice grew more urgent. "If you don't come out, I'm coming in."After waiting for another minute and not getting a response, Pierce opened the door and found Millie slumped in the bathtub, completely soaked and looking utterly disheveled."Mills!" Pierce was alarmed to see her in such a fragile and exhausted state.He immediately assumed that it was the lingering impact of her family's recent visit. He thought that Millie was still trapped in sadness, unable to move past t

"Does our family have to end up in this state?" Mateo asked, bewildered. Everything had been fine before they came to Arbelton. Why had it all fallen apart after one short visit?He understood that Millie had suffered, but it was undeniable that she was heartless too. Wasn't she the one who had torn the family apart?"Think it over yourself. For now, come home with me," Emily said.After everything that had happened, Emily had made up her mind. She finally saw Frederick for who he was. She still had a shred of conscience and was willing to admit that the Jordan family had wronged Millie. But Frederick's chauvinistic attitude disgusted her. Why was it so hard for him to admit that Millie did better than him? She wasn't a stranger—she was family, after all.The Jordan family had arrived in Arbelton feeling wronged and self-righteous, but they left with their tails between their legs.Meanwhile, Agnes followed through on her promise to formally take Millie in as her honorary gr

"Why did you hit Mateo?" Emily immediately stepped forward to shield Mateo."Are you mocking me too? Try me, and I'll kick you out of the Jordan family as well!" Frederick snapped.Emily clapped back at him, her voice trembling with rage, "Maybe my son and I should leave together! That's all you have left to threaten us with, isn't it? Because we still rely on you financially. "But Millie is different. She's independent and far more capable than you think. She doesn't need your money, so you can't control her. You've lost your authority, and it frustrates you. You can't accept it, so you lash out like a petty clown. "You can't win anywhere, so you take it out on Mateo. Was he wrong in what he said just now? Also, you don't seem to have reflected on this entire situation at all. Do you realize how much Millie suffered to save this family back then? You're still enjoying a fine life now, and this is all thanks to her. "Why are you biting the hand that fed you?"Another loud slap

Mateo and Emily met Millie's gaze with guilt written all over their faces. They had finally come to understand the hardships that Millie had endured three years ago and realized just how over the line they had been.Still, Frederick was the head of the family, and their survival depended on him. They couldn't defy his authority."Mr. Jordan, what brings you here?" Millie asked, her tone calm and detached.Frederick had specially arranged for the book containing their family tree to be sent from their hometown. The old, yellowed book carried a significant weight, both physically and symbolically."Listen, Millie. You are being expelled from the family. Your name will be removed from the family tree! This is the Jordan family disowning you!" Frederick declared.He flipped to the page where her name was written and crossed it out in front of everyone present.He imagined that this grand and dramatic gesture would intimidate Millie. He then said solemnly, "From now on, the Jordan f

Frederick finally saw the light of day. Initially, he had been confident that Emily and Mateo would come to his rescue. He was certain that Millie wouldn't dare to keep him detained for long.Each day, he prepared to be released. But as the days passed, he watched others being bailed out while he was left to endure endless interrogations. His frustration turned into anger and defiance, but his resistance only led to his fellow detainees teaching him a harsh lesson with their fists.Humbled and bruised, he eventually fell in line. Fear began to consume him, and his thoughts drifted back to his time in prison. He'd been made to wake up at fixed hours, eat at designated times, and make his bed to perfection. He had to toil in the sun and endure the abuse of fellow inmates.Every day had been unbearable in there, and the desperation to escape grew stronger as time passed. He knew in his heart that he was innocent, and the injustice of it all only made him yearn for freedom.When

Still, Millie couldn't be certain. If her parents could abandon her, how could she truly trust someone who wasn't related to her in any way? She tried her best to believe Pierce, but deep down, her doubts kept surfacing.Millie heavily exhaled. "I'm tired. I want to rest for a while.""Alright, go ahead and sleep," Pierce gently said.With that, Millie curled up on the couch and drifted off into a restless sleep. From time to time, she would frown in her slumber as if troubled by something.Pierce felt a deep ache in his heart as he watched her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.No matter what, he would always stay by her side.…Over the next few days, Millie focused on her work and tried to stay unaffected by everything that was going on in the outside world.Emily didn't even last half a month. From her hospitalization to Frederick being detained, barely ten days had passed before she found Millie again.By then, Emily hadn't eaten for a day. For the first time, s

Emily finally came to understand Millie's hardships. She could relate to Millie's struggles and how unfair they'd been toward her. They had benefited from Millie's sacrifices and taken her for granted. What right did they have to judge her afterward?The one who had suffered the most was Millie.Even now, their current situation wasn't as dire as it had been three years ago. Yet, Mateo had already given up on them and hid away like a coward.But three years ago, Millie had tirelessly run around. She'd even sacrificed herself to pay for Emily's hospital bills and hired the best doctors for her. She had even worked hard to have someone overturn Frederick's case while caring for a brother who was merely a few years younger than her.Millie had endured so much back then. Yet, when the family was reunited, all they did was shower gratitude on the Leach family. They believed that Millie had struck gold by attaching herself to Stefan and had never stopped to think about how much she had

"Where is Millie? She must be hiding somewhere, watching us. Bring her out right now!" Frederick bossily demanded."Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Please cooperate and come with us," one of the tax officers sternly replied."Millie… Millie…" Frederick continued to call out as he was forcibly taken away. Due to his vigorous resistance, the authorities had no choice but to use force.The sight of this left Emily and Mateo terrified, and they were at a complete loss as to what to do. They ran to the relevant authorities, but they weren't even allowed to see Frederick.In the end, Mateo decided to seek help from Stefan. However, when he went to Leach Manor, he was unceremoniously turned away. With nowhere else to turn, he swallowed his pride and reached out to Millie. However, she also refused to see him.Emily, overwhelmed by the stress, fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Mateo attempted to pay the bills, only to find that Frederick's credit card had been
