Stefan and Wanda's wedding wasn't postponed, but it was actually moved up. Netizens were also touched by their love story. It was only through life-and-death struggles that people would come to realize the importance of their loved ones.Seeing all of this, Millie couldn't help but feel that it was all Stefan's doing. He was clearly trying to create an image of himself as a hopeless romantic, but in reality, he was the most hypocritical and cold-hearted man on the planet.Still, Millie was benefiting from the situation. Not only did she avoid the disgusting task of designing a wedding dress for Wanda, but she also made a lot of money without lifting a finger.If there was one downside, it was that she couldn't get any fame from designing a wedding dress for Wanda.But honestly, Millie didn't care anymore. After all, she had pocketed 50 million dollars from Stefan. That kind of money would take her countless orders to earn, so she didn't feel like she was losing out.Additionally
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 160
Millie had been preparing for a while. Ever since she found out that Wanda and Stefan were getting married, she had started designing a dress for herself.She loved red for its boldness and brightness. Therefore, she had a red dress uniquely tailored to fit her figure perfectly. In addition to the mermaid-style dress, she also added a deep V-back to showcase her toned back.On the other hand, she had splurged on a stylist to transform her usual simple and understated looks into something bold and extravagant.Since the dress still needed a few adjustments, she took it home to work on it. After a little tweak to her waist, the dress was finally ready. She slipped it on and was thrilled with how it looked.Just then, Pierce knocked and walked in.Millie was eager for someone to weigh in on her dress. She asked, "What do you think? Does it look good on me?"With that, she took a few steps forward, letting the dress sway elegantly as she moved.Pierce nodded approvingly. But as she

Pierce's growing frustration made Millie even more nervous."Why do you want to go to their wedding and dress up so nicely? Are you trying to get Stefan's attention?" Pierce asked."What?" Millie was dumbfounded. It turned out that Pierce was angry because he'd believed she was dressing up for Stefan. He did appear jealous, so she asked, "Are you jealous of Stefan?"Frowning at her question, Pierce said sternly, "You're overthinking this. You're Mrs. Atkinson now, but you're dressing like that to catch your ex's eye. Have you ever considered my feelings? Millie, don't go too far. My tolerance for you is limited.""Fine. What if I add a shawl?" Millie relented."Do you really have to go?" Pierce's voice was hoarse. He didn't believe she was going just to witness Stefan's wedding. He continued, "He's the one who dumped you. Don't you have any resentment? Why are you so eager to watch him marry someone else?"After all, Millie should be hurting. Stefan slept with her, but instead of

Just then, Wanda's phone rang. It was from the person she had sent to pick up Aurora, who was arriving in Arbelton today."Is everything okay? Did you manage to pick up Ms. Aurora? She's a very important guest, so please make sure nothing goes wrong," Wanda said."Mrs. Leach, we've been waiting forever but haven't seen Ms. Aurora. It's also hard to recognize her since we don't have a photo," the person on the phone replied."Didn't you have a sign?" Wanda asked."We did! We held it up until our arms were sore but still didn't see her," came the response.Feeling uneasy, Wanda quickly called Aurora, but there was no answer. She began to worry whether her plan might go wrong.Today was not only her big moment but also the perfect chance to put Millie in her place. She could already picture how satisfying it would be to see Millie's downfall. There wouldn't be another moment as perfect as today.Wanda sent a few messages to Aurora, but there was still no response. Just then, her st

Millie frowned and feigned anger. "How could you go back on your word?""We never signed a contract, and you don't have any witnesses. How will you prove I'm going back on what I said? Let me tell you, our bet is still on!" Wanda shot back."What's the point of that? Since neither of us managed to invite Ms. Aurora, calling it a draw won't make things awkward," Millie argued."Who said I failed like you?" Wanda said."Do you mean you actually got her to agree? That's impossible!" Millie was doing her best to look panicked and desperate. Then, she once again pleaded with Wanda to call off the bet.Wanda's resolve only strengthened at Millie's apparent distress. With a smug smile, she adjusted her dress and said, "My hair and makeup aren't even done yet. I'm not wasting any more time listening to you."With that, she called her stylists back in and said to Millie, "Please leave. Have yourself a lovely day.""Wanda, there's no way you actually got her!" Millie called out as she lef

The tingling sensation sent shivers through Millie's body, filling her with an indescribable pleasure. Tears welled in her eyes, and her ears flushed crimson along with her face. She was dazed and consumed by a burning heat. Her voice was barely a whisper as she begged, "Stop! It really hurts. Pierce, let me go!"Hearing her distress, Pierce finally relented. Instead of biting, he began teasing her skin with the tip of his tongue.That only made her knees weaker. She nearly collapsed, but he steadied her by the waist. What the hell was Pierce doing now? Was this some crazy dream, or had he completely lost it? How could he do something this shameless in the emergency stairwell?Millie bit her lip hard to keep herself from making any embarrassing sounds. Her mind was a chaotic mess, but one thing she clung to was the resolve not to let out a single moan.Just then, Pierce's husky voice brushed against her ear, "Are you afraid Stefan might hear us?""Huh?" Millie stammered. It wasn
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 165
Standing there, Pierce's desire and anger had completely faded away. He felt awkward and stammered, "So, you were looking for Wanda just now?"Millie was beyond frustrated with him. She really wanted to slap him, but they still had to attend the wedding. Since he was her husband now, she couldn't let him show up with bruises. Not only would it be bad for her reputation, but Stefan and Wanda would likely make fun of them. So, she knew she had to bite her tongue and hold back her anger.She had rested enough to walk, so she said, "Put me down!"Knowing he was in the wrong, Pierce replied, "Sorry, I'll take you to fix your dress now."But instead of putting her down, he carried her straight to the lounge.Once they arrived, Millie rushed to the restroom to adjust her Nubra and fix her dress. She took off Pierce's coat and looked at her disheveled self in the mirror.Her dress had become loose and sagging. It was even slipping enough to reveal one side of her chest, which was marked

Pierce grunted in agreement and didn't dare look. He was afraid he'd lose control, consumed by obsession.Millie didn't stand on ceremony—she bit down hard without hesitation.Pierce let out a muffled groan. Millie was unsure if his response was because she had caught him off guard or if it hurt. It could also be some other reason.The sound he had made was muffled and husky. At that moment, Millie's imagination was running wild. She couldn't shake the feeling that it carried a hint of something more suggestive and intimate.She let go upon noticing that Pierce was sweating. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead, and some even rolled down. His brows were tightly knit,and his thin lips were pressed into a firm line. Even his jawline was taut.Millie watched Pierce's Adam's apple move up and down. A single bead of sweat happened to slide down, triggering an inexplicable restlessness in her heart.She had originally planned to bite the other side to make it symmetrical, but her r

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr

With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
