I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 197
The post was likely from a socialite, with tags like "wedding of the century" attached.In the photo, everyone stood clapping and cheering. Among the crowd, someone had captured a faint silhouette through the gaps between the people.Onstage, a couple was locked in a passionate kiss. Offstage, another couple was also stealing a quiet moment, their embrace and kiss going unnoticed by most.Someone commented, "What a beautiful shot."Millie zoomed in again and again. Whether it was due to the filter or the angle, the image was unclear and showed only two vague outlines.Still, she knew without a doubt that it was her and Pierce.They had kissed in secret, and somehow, it had been caught on camera and shared online.Fortunately, the image was blurry, and the publisher didn't elaborate. So, the viewers had no idea who the couple was.Millie locked her phone. But moments later, she unlocked it again. Almost without thinking, she saved the photo. After all, it was quite a beautiful

Millie's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that such a bold statement had come from a little boy."H-How old are you? Do you even know what it means to get married?" Millie asked."I'm already ten. I'm not a kid anymore. Of course, I know what it means—it's spending my whole life with you. I'll be good only to you, and you'll only be good to me," Caleb replied matter-of-factly.Millie was stunned, but more so by the fact that he claimed to be ten! He barely looked six or seven, and his frame was frail—a clear sign of malnutrition."Why do you want to get married? You're just a child," Millie exclaimed.Caleb dropped his head, his expression crestfallen.He began, "When Mom passed away, she held my hand and said that she wouldn't get to see me grow up and get married. I… I won't get to grow up into an adult either. So, I just want to make her wish come true and find a bride ."Millie's heart clenched at his words.His mother had died. And he was sick—gravely ill, j

"Does he have a gun? The very powerful kind?" Caleb asked."Of course," Millie replied without hesitation. "His aim is legendary. He could hit a target a hundred yards away." Millie started shamelessly fabricating the story.Caleb's eyes sparkled with awe, all traces of his earlier fright gone. "Can he turn invisible?""Sure. He can easily climb walls and move things without touching them!""Does he shoot webs like a superhero?""Only foreign superheroes can do that, but we're not into that. Instead, he's mastered martial arts and street fighting."Pierce had been away for over ten minutes, and Millie spent every second of it exaggerating his feats.She didn't notice Pierce at all even though he was standing beside her, still enraptured in her fabricated storytelling.She continued, "He can even capture ghosts! If someone dies unjustly, he can negotiate with the devil in hell and bring them back.""Wow, that's so amazing!" Caleb exclaimed."Millie, if you were Pinocchio, your

Caleb seemed a little cautious. When it was just him and Millie, his smile was genuinely bright. But now that Pierce was here, Caleb didn't know how to smile anymore. Instead, he offered a classic fake smile, grinned broadly to show his teeth, and raised a peace sign."Move aside a bit." Pierce wanted to be next to Millie and mercilessly squeezed Caleb aside.Millie angrily glared at him before wrapping an arm around Caleb and pulling him closer with a faint smile."Miss, can I kiss you?" Caleb asked."Of course," Millie replied.So, Caleb happily kissed her cheek.Just as Millie raised her phone and was about to capture the moment, Pierce suddenly leaned in from the other side.Caught off guard, Millie took the photo.In the photo, she was smiling brightly, with one person on each of her sides, both of them kissing her cheek.Millie cast a peculiar glance at Pierce. She wished he could stop acting like this. After all, people would easily misunderstand them.Millie thought t

"Millie, just because you've come across a piece of trash, you're writing off the whole lot. Isn't that a bit too hasty?" It was a long while before Pierce finally spoke up."Maybe. Anyway, I don't have the courage anymore," Millie responded.Upon hearing these words, Pierce remained silent with his fists tightly clenched.His biggest regret was being one step too late. He had been away on a job when he received the news about the Jordan family. Without hesitation, he'd rushed back without taking a moment to rest. He was only a day late, and Stefan had already reached out to assist her.Secretly, he had stolen a glance at her once—it was three years ago when Millie still possessed that youthful and innocent glow. The way she gazed upon Stefan was like she was admiring a deity, overflowing with admiration and affection.He had protected so many people. Yet, he couldn't protect the one person he cared for the most.One misstep, and it was all over.He realized that he would ne

On the inside, Millie was losing her mind. Did Pierce know how irresistible he was being?Millie couldn't stop the rush of her blood to her head. Her breaths came in short gasps, and her cheeks flushed with heat.Pierce had a way of exuding raw sexual energy. His hand was on her leg, slowly stroking up and down.Millie felt herself growing weak under his touch. In a flustered state, she quickly pulled away her foot.Pierce raised his gaze, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?""Your grip was too strong. I'll do it on my own," Millie replied."Just say the word, and I'll be more gentle." Pierce's fingertips inched closer and softly grazed against her calf.Immediately, Millie pulled away, avoiding his touch. "I'd rather do it myself. I'm not used to this.""Why is your face turning red?""Oh, I'm just tired and need to rest.""Okay then, go ahead and rest."It wasn't until Pierce left that Millie felt like she could finally compose hersel

"Don't… Don't touch me…" Millie felt Pierce's large hand wrap around her wrist, attempting to move her hand aside in order to check the injury.His palm bore thick calluses—a testament to years of disciplined practice. Millie remembered how those same hands had explored every inch of her body in her dream, and the roughness of his calluses against her soft skin sent shivers down her spine.Startled, she quickly backed away several steps. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me... I'm fine..." she repeated those words as she hurriedly walked past Pierce and descended the stairs.Pierce was concerned about her and wanted to follow her, but she quickly stopped him. "I'm only headed downstairs to get some fresh air. Please don't follow me. I... I need to be by myself for a bit." Then, Millie scurried off as if being pursued by wild animals or a raging storm.Pierce was utterly confused. Had he done something to upset her?Millie descended the stairs and made her way to the yard.She was in

Immediately, Pierce retreated a couple of steps, looking at Millie with a mix of emotions in his eyes.Millie became even more interested as Pierce appeared a little aggrieved. The more he avoided her, the more excited she became.In her dream before this, Pierce was always dominant, and it made her want more. But the tables had turned now, and she liked it."Is there a part of your body I can't touch?" she asked."Millie, are you drunk?" Pierce asked in confusion. Otherwise, why else would she be so bold?"I didn't drink any alcohol. Can't I call the shots since this is my dream? Come over here and let me love you.""Your dream?""Isn't it?""What do you wish to do to me in your dreams?" Pierce clenched his fists and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart.He wanted to know what Millie would do to him in her dreams. Although he knew that he was playing with fire, he went ahead with it without care."Since you asked…" The moment Pierce stepped closer, Millie dragged

Pierce asked Millie that question with determination.Millie fell silent. Technically, she should treat Pierce and Stefan similarly and steer clear of Pierce.But her heart always swayed when it came to Pierce for some reason. It was probably because Pierce was always there for her whenever she had a hard time. Whether it was before or after their marriage, he never disappointed her. He wasn't like Stefan, who kept breaking her heart to the extent that she had gotten used to it. Stefan was constantly deliberating the pros and cons and picking the side that benefited him the most. To him, Millie was always the one who could be discarded as the other option.On the contrary, Pierce had never made her his second option. There was an awkward silence in the room. Millie didn't know how to respond to Pierce's question. As she was pondering her answer, she saw the corner of Bill's eye twitch. Was he regaining consciousness now?"Grandpa… Grandpa's eyes twitched just now," she sa
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 353
"Why are you here?" Pierce asked, despite knowing the answer."Grandpa must have been confused and called me in his disoriented state. Is he doing alright now?" Millie asked urgently. "I don't know what's going on inside." Pierce shook his head. "They're still performing emergency treatment on him. But the doctor did mention that his condition was quite severe this time. Grandpa might not be able to…" He drifted off, not finishing the rest of his sentence.Millie staggered on her feet, almost falling to the ground. She knew it was only a matter of time before Bill would have to say goodbye to the world, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. It had barely been a year!Bill had always looked after her. Ever since she married Pierce, Bill treated Millie even better than before. Despite the gossip about her, Bill always empathized with her, feeling her pain as if it were his own.Although she didn't have blood ties to Bill or Agnes, they still showed her the utmost love and c

Pierce said, "Yes, I wanted to marry her. So, the fact that you were pretending to be sick wasn't really a threat to me. You just provided me with a valid reason to do so."He continued, "I've transferred you to a different sanatorium these three years instead of letting you stay alone because of her too.""I see. No wonder you insisted that I stay here despite how much I dislike Mrs. Leach Senior. You're certain I'd see Millie here often and like her, huh?" Bill asked in curiosity."Not really."Pierce hadn't expected things to turn out this way. All he wanted was to see Millie more often. After finding out that Millie was taking care of Agnes in this sanatorium, he decided to visit Bill frequently to increase his chances of seeing her.Even a quick glance was more than enough for him. "Well, why did you agree to a divorce then? I don't understand at all. You care about her so much," Bill said.Bill knew that they were going to get a divorce. In fact, he wanted to stop them.

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I won't go. After all, it's your family gathering. How about I treat you to dinner alone some other time?" Millie suggested."You're part of my family too," Agnes insisted."I know you care about me, but Stefan is married to Wanda. If I attend, how do you think Wanda will feel? I don't want to stir up unnecessary trouble," Millie replied.She wasn't afraid of Wanda, but she had no desire to see her again. Wanda had already lost everything, especially after losing the baby. Her real goal wasn't to fight Millie to the bitter end—it was to secure Stefan's affection.Unfortunately, she had lost the ability to conceive children. The Leach family's vast fortune would eventually require an heir. No matter how much Stefan loved her, Wanda was destined to be abandoned.Millie found herself pitying Wanda. As always, her schemes had spectacularly backfired against herself."But I invited several exceptional young men to meet you. It's a chance for you to meet potential s

"Stefan, I've already ended up this way, yet you're still going to see your ex?" Wanda asked as tears streamed down her face."Wanda, it's not what you think. Grandma is back and wants to host a family gathering. She wanted Millie to come as well," Stefan explained."Family gathering? And you're inviting an outsider?""Wanda, Millie was with me for three years. When Grandma was ill, it was Millie who took care of her and kept her company."Wanda scoffed. "I could've done that too. Do you think I didn't want to? Why is my life so miserable? My family went bankrupt, and before my parents passed, they left me with your family. Your parents looked down on me, so they sent me overseas and married me off to an abusive drunkard!"My life after marriage was hell on Earth. It was a nightmare! Your family owes me more than anything Millie ever did for you in those three years. I am your wife now, and yet your grandmother is still thinking about someone else?"Is it because your grandmothe

Stefan felt his stomach churn violently. The smell alone was nauseating, and all Wanda had done was add a pinch of salt for flavor. How could she possibly eat the placenta stew with an overpowering fishy smell?Wanda ate happily, enjoying every bite. For a moment, Stefan had an unsettling thought—it didn't seem like she was eating a placenta, but a child.He waited until she finished before heading downstairs, acting as if nothing had happened."I'm leaving now," he said calmly."Wait, Stefan," Wanda said, stopping him."Is there anything else?""Are you really just going to forget about the incident? If Millie hadn't argued with me and pushed me, the accident wouldn't have happened. Even if she wasn't the mastermind, she should still bear some responsibility. "She's an accomplice to killing our child, Stefan. Are you really not going to seek justice for our baby?" Wanda asked while shedding a few tears. Her crying made her act look sincere and convincing.When it came to cryi

Stefan and Millie would have probably ended up getting married, right? Since Stefan had already treated Millie as a substitute, and she was even better than the original, why couldn't they just continue like this forever?Stefan suddenly recalled the first time he met Millie. She was dressed in revealing clothes, trembling like a helpless lamb awaiting to be slaughtered. When he first saw her, he was captivated—not only because she resembled Wanda so closely but also because she was genuinely beautiful—more beautiful than Wanda, and she was stunning. He couldn't help but feel empathy for her.In the beginning, he hadn't thought much of it. Millie was just a substitute, a cure for the heartache Wanda had left behind. But over time, Millie proved herself. She was thoughtful, considerate, and kind. Her presence gradually eased the pain left by his breakup with Wanda.In reality, Stefan had broken up with Wanda years ago and spent several years living recklessly. Meeting Millie agai

"Don't you… have anything to say?" Stefan asked hesitantly.It would have been a perfectly normal reaction for Millie to yell at Stefan or even slap him.But instead, she was calm. Her tone was flat, and her gaze was cold, sending a chill down his spine.Instead of anger and disappointment, she looked at him now calmly and emotionlessly as though he were a mere stranger."I need to go, Mr. Leach," she said softly.She recalled when Wanda barged into her studio, yelling at her and saying if this were ancient times, she would willingly share a husband with her. Wanda also agreed to let Stefan keep her as a mistress.If they wanted to humiliate themselves, it was their own business, but why pull her into their chaos?Millie had tried to explain herself, but neither of them had been willing to listen. Why should she waste her breath arguing with people who refused to listen?Stefan couldn't let her go, while Wanda saw Millie as a rival and wanted to compete with her. But to Millie,

Julian spoke each word slowly, and his words left Millie speechless.Even though she knew she was innocent, Wanda's plans had made her imprisonment almost certain. If it weren't for Pierce, she would have been doomed."What's going on, Julian? I thought you left," Millie said."Who said I left? I told you I just needed a few days to rest. Since I couldn't help with your troubles, I figured I'd at least look after the company for you."I wasn't just sitting around during my off days. I gave a lecture in school and recruited some new talent. As for the contaminated fabrics issue, I've already cleared the studio's name. It might take a bit of time, but we'll be back on track soon.""Julian…"It turned out she was the only one being narrow-minded. She even thought she and Julian couldn't even be friends anymore.Julian laughed. "I'm not that petty. We're still business partners, and I'm still your senior. We're… still the same as before, alright?"Millie nodded firmly. "Thanks, Jul
