I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 187
Millie slowly withdrew her foot and said, "You apologized, but I will never forgive you. Remember this, Wanda—we didn't fight over this man. You only picked up trash that I no longer wanted.""Millie—" Stefan clenched his fists. If Pierce hadn't been watching closely, Stefan most likely wouldn't have held back.Millie continued, "That's right, I haven't given you my blessings at the wedding, have I? "Stefan, I wish that you'll be infertile and blessed with no descendants. And Wanda, I wish you a happy second, third, and fourth marriage in advance!"Finally, Stefan couldn't control himself and flung the coffee cup in his hand at Millie. Pierce was prepared and immediately pulled Millie into his arms.Meanwhile, Millie was caught off guard and lost her balance. Fortunately, she fell right into Pierce's arms instead of tumbling to the ground.However, some coffee still splashed onto the back of her hand. Though her tender skin reddened immediately, it was nothing serious.Pierce

Now, Millie was left in only her pure white lace lingerie.Pierce then applied rubbing alcohol to her joints to help her feel better. Once he was done applying the rubbing alcohol to her chest, Millie lazily lay on her front, too drained to feel embarrassed. She was already blanking out, so she couldn't be bothered with anything else.Pierce continued to apply a bit of alcohol along her spine. The icy cool sensation from the alcohol was very soothing.Suddenly, Pierce paused and gently stroked a scar near the base of her spine."Where did this come from?" he asked in a low voice.Millie's head was spinning as she thought for a moment. "I think… it was from an injury I got during my childhood.""How did you get hurt?""I can't remember. I hit my head when I was little, and I don't remember what happened that year. My mom said that I was being naughty and knocked my head when I fell from an elevated place. Apparently, some metal sheet pierced my back."The doctors said that it

The bitter liquid slid down Millie's throat in a flash, and she reflexively coughed as tears welled up in her eyes. It made her look even more pitiful.Pierce immediately took another mouthful of the herbal remedy. With practiced ease, he gently pried Millie's mouth open and fed her the mixture as he had done so before.In her delirium, Millie couldn't help but mutter, "It's so bitter…"Pierce fed her the rest of the brew in a mouthful. Then, he suckled and kissed Millie's lips until there was no taste of the medicine left in her mouth.…Millie's fever finally subsided in the early morning after she finished the medicine, but she remained unconscious.Time passed by, and there was still another medication that needed to be taken before breakfast. So, Pierce repeated the process from earlier and slowly fed her the medication.By then, Millie was more alert. She could feel someone pressed against her lips as a warm liquid seeped into her mouth.She subconsciously furrowed her br

Pierce then curled Millie's hair into soft waves. Paired with the blue dress, it made her look both elegant and refined. Not to mention, her own beauty made the whole look even more perfect.With his head lowered, Pierce intently focused he styled Millie. He then chose a pair of pearl earrings to complete her appearance.Millie wasn't wearing any makeup, and her complexion was dull, yet she still looked amazing. She was like a delicate beauty that inspired both pity and affection."I was the one who raised Sammy. She loved to fiddle with her hair but was hopeless at it, so she always came to me for help," Pierce explained. "After many trials and errors, I mastered it.""So that's how it is." Millie felt a pang of bitterness in her heart at his words.The makeup artist arrived soon after and worked on Millie's makeup. Her complexion improved greatly once lipstick was applied.Pierce had arranged for a wheelchair since she was still very weak, and he carried her as they headed down

Samantha panicked for a moment but quickly composed herself. After all, her background was only transparent to the Atkinsons, and there was no way anyone else could have found out about it, including Millie.Pierce had always been careful to guard the secret too. If word got out that she was adopted, rumors would spread like wildfire, and this would lead people to gossip endlessly. Eventually, it would affect her emotional well-being, too.Therefore, to the world, Samantha was an Atkinson by blood. And that was also the reason why she could never express how she truly felt about Pierce.She was certain that Pierce would never have told Millie about her background. Millie must've been bluffing, and there was no way Samantha was going to give herself away. She quickly gathered herself and said, "Millie, what do you mean? I'm his real sister—of course he'll take care of me for life. "But you? That's a whole different story. If you two ever get divorced, who knows how he'd treat you

After checking the surveillance footage, Pierce noticed a group of suspicious people pushing a large cleaning cart. Given how petite Millie and Samantha were, they could easily be stuffed inside it. His chest tightened with worry for their safety, and he immediately started tracking down the group. …Meanwhile in the lounge, Mark was updating Stefan on the situation. "Alright," Stefan replied coolly. The room was filled with the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the table. Feeling frustrated, he narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Pierce, I never thought you'd care about her so much that you'd lose your cool. "How could she pour her heart into making you love her but not me? Millie, have you ever really loved me over these past three years?"Just then, Wanda finished putting on her makeup and walked out. The crutches already made her look fragile, but the pitiable makeup further drew out a sense of sympathy."Make her lips a little paler," Stefan instructed.At his request,

Wanda continued, "I'm really sorry for letting everyone down. I hope the public can give me another chance to make things right. "From now on, I'll be more careful with my words and actions. Meanwhile, I promise that I will never make bets with anyone again," Wanda said.Her last line carried a subtle jab at Millie, hinting that Millie had despicably tricked her into making the bet."Thank you, everyone!" Wanda concluded. With that, she bowed deeply for the third time, acting out genuine sincerity.Just as the reporters in the audience were about to ask their questions, Wanda's doctor stepped in. He then explained that her throat hadn't fully recovered, so she was unable to speak any further.But Wanda insisted, "Just go ahead and ask. I can handle it."The doctor replied, "Ms. Lytle, you're still a patient, so please listen to your doctor. If you keep talking, your vocal cords could be permanently damaged. Do you really want to risk losing your voice forever?""But…" Wanda hes

"Really? Can you be more specific?" a reporter pressed.But Millie didn't have any evidence to pin the blame on Stefan. So, she forced a weak smile onto her pale face and said, "Well, it was just an accident. I was joking."The reporters saw that Millie was struggling to move forward, so they parted in sync to let her through.Climbing the stage was now an effort for her. The moment she stepped up, she wobbled and nearly fell.Instinctively, Stefan approached to steady her.However, Millie had already steadied herself and unhesitatingly avoided him.Stefan's hand hovered in mid-air before he slowly pulled it back."Wanda, I'm here now. It's time for you to give me a proper apology," Millie said. She stood at the center of the stage, her icy gaze locked onto Wanda.Wanda bit her lip, her gaze darting around. It was obvious that she didn't want to apologize to her.Wanda's doctor seemed to read her mind and spoke up, "Ms. Jordan, Mrs. Leach isn't avoiding her apology. She'd alre

Unfortunately, Millie was still preoccupied by Pierce's situation that she hadn't picked up on the subtle hint in Julian's comment."Besides, things are fine as they are. Marriage is all about living life with someone. Being with Pierce isn't too bad," Millie said. Then, she lowered her head to work on her design drafts, missing the flash of disappointment that crossed Julian's eyes.Julian wondered—if he had appeared in Millie's life before Pierce, would she have chosen to live her life with him instead?Julian knew that he should be content with the hand that he'd been dealt. After all, Millie was already married. Even if there wasn't much affection between the pair, it would be immoral and against the law to interfere between them.But how could he accept losing the one he loved just because he was a step too late?He had to try.…Millie had recently been focusing on her career.Regardless of the prejudice others held against her, they couldn't deny her talent. Internatio

"Jason came by today," Pierce said.Millie's heart stuttered at his words. She had almost forgotten about it. It seemed like the approval had gone through, and he had received his gun."I see," she simply replied.Millie wanted to ask if he liked it but stopped herself when she recalled that he didn't celebrate his birthdays.However, Pierce seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He gently stated, "I really like the gift you gave me.""That's good. Let's eat." Millie changed the topic."I'm sorry I've disappointed you," Pierce said."It's nothing. You should have told me earlier. I don't want to hear about you from Samantha. You can tell me things yourself, but if you don't… then forget about it. I'm not that interested anyway."Although Millie was in front of him, Pierce felt like she was very far away. Millie didn't dwell on what had happened and never brought it up again. It was as if nothing had happened. However, Pierce knew this had left a mark that was hard to erase.

Millie tried to break free, but Pierce held her too tightly that it even caused her ribs to ache."It Hurts..." she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.Pierce immediately released her and anxiously looked at her. "I… didn't mean to do that. I hurt you, right? I'll be more careful next time..." He was rather a little flustered, as if he were a child who'd done something wrong."It's fine. Just get back to bed and lie down," Millie replied.So, Pierce obediently lay back on the bed.Millie then asked, "Are you hungry? I passed by a fast food restaurant earlier. Many people are eating there even though it's so late. It must be delicious, so I got two portions to go."Pierce simply nodded at her words.When Millie looked up, she felt like she was falling into a deep abyss. Pierce's gaze was intently fixed on her, and it made her a little uncomfortable. "Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked.Only then did Pierce look away.This felt unreal to him."I thought you wer

Millie was rather annoyed. "What do you want to say?""Millie, aren't you curious about how Pierce got injured?" Tobias asked."I don't care," she retorted.Tobias began, "Ms. Atkinson was hurt. If the wound had been a little deeper, it could have severed an artery, and she might not have survived. "Pierce didn't know that you were innocent. Back then, all the evidence was against you. Ms. Atkinson was adamant about punishing you too. She's his sister, and you're his wife—he was caught between the both of you."Tobias continued, "He didn't want to let his sister suffer, but he also didn't want to punish you. He wanted to return a knife wound with another, but because he took the blame on your behalf, he decided to punish himself with two cuts."Pierce is an honest person. He could have made it superficial, but no—he insisted on cutting deep enough to expose the bone. That way, Ms. Atkinson would be appeased and not trouble you any further."He then added, "He ended up covered

Millie's mind raced. At that moment, she desperately wished to crawl into a hole. "I… I'm a caregiver who was hired to care for you tonight," she lied."Millie, I'm a police officer. I can easily see through your disguise," Pierce replied.Millie blushed. She forgot that he was a professional.She took off her mask, annoyed. "It's me. What about it? I've come to see if you've died," she retorted, deliberately putting on a fierce attitude. "Since you're not dead, I'll leave now…" Millie quickly walked over to the door. However, the moment her hand touched the handle, it fell off.The door was broken. Now, she couldn't leave at all."Is there anyone there? Open the door! Help!" she called out.But no matter how much Millie yelled, there was no response from the other side of the door. She then gave the door a hard kick in a fit of anger, but it was only to hurt her toe in the process. The pain made her grimace and nearly made her cry.Upon seeing this, Pierce—not caring th

Millie didn't think she'd see Tobias here. He was working at the front desk, so he didn't notice her. He then hastily left.Millie froze. Tobias kept saying that Pierce was sick. He said his condition wasn't too good, and he hoped that she would visit. However, Millie was still angry with him, so she constantly refused.Over the past two days, Tobias hadn't sought her out. Hence, Millie was under the impression that Pierce wasn't seriously ill and that he had recovered. But considering how Tobias was in the hospital now, did this mean that Pierce might still be here too?"Millie, why are you still here?" Julian suddenly asked."Julian, could you help me ask around if Pierce is in this hospital? Is he unwell? Is it serious?" Millie simply replied."Sure, I'll do that for you.""Don't disclose that I'm the one asking, okay?" Millie added."Alright, I understand," Julian answered with a smile. However, as he turned away, his expression turned bitter.If Millie understood his fee

Tobias grew increasingly anxious. If Millie were to speak up and ask Pierce to take care of himself, he would undoubtedly listen.After Pierce finished his meeting, he was already running a low-grade fever. Still, he continued working as though nothing was wrong. Tobias couldn't bear it anymore and decided to personally find Millie.At that time, Millie was at her studio handling some work."Millie, Pierce has been working nonstop. He's skipping lunch, and he's only sleeping four or five hours a night. No one can withstand such exhaustion no matter how robust they are."You don't have to visit him. Just give him a call or send a message to ask him to rest. If you do that, he'll definitely listen to you," Tobias pleaded."His body is his responsibility. If he doesn't care for it, what does that have to do with me? Don't overestimate my importance. My relationship with Pierce is just… ordinary," Millie replied, her tone detached. But as she uttered those words, a hint of diffidenc

The commotion subsided after everyone had been dragged away. Finally, Millie felt a rare moment of peace.She wasn't a saint. Why should she go easy on the maids who had tormented her?Millie glanced at Pierce, wondering if he regretted his decision to marry her. After all, she was indeed a bad woman in the eyes of others. If he wanted a divorce, she'd agree without hesitation.But Pierce's intense gaze was filled not with disgust. Rather, it was filled with admiration.Millie couldn't fathom what he meant by that."Take a moment to rest. I'm going upstairs to grab something," Pierce said."Do whatever you want," Millie replied indifferently.A short while later, Pierce came back down. He said, "I've moved all my belongings to the guest room. It's locked, so you won't have to see them. I won't be staying here. You can make any changes to the house you like."In fact, you can even tear it down if you want. The maids answer only to you, and I'll cover the expenses. If they're n

After that, Stefan didn't come and visit again.Millie stayed in the hospital for five days, during which her condition steadily improved. She no longer felt light-headed when she stood, and the bruises and injuries on her body began to heal too.When it was time to leave, she packed her things and decided to go to the villa to retrieve her personal belongings.During her hospital stay, Millie had barely spoken to Pierce. He'd come to visit her daily, and although sometimes he would be delayed by work, he would still come late at night. Often, it seemed like he wanted to say something, but he ultimately held himself back. His deep-set, unreadable eyes seemed to hold countless emotions, but Millie didn't try to decipher them.When she was discharged, Pierce drove her back to the villa.To her surprise, she was greeted by a row of maids in matching uniforms as soon as she entered. All of them were unfamiliar faces.They stood respectfully and greeted her in unison, "Greetings, Mr
