I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 198
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

Millie had no idea why she was so stimulated recently, but she had no way of release. Indeed, women had their needs once they matured.While her thoughts were running wild, the bathroom door swung open. Startled, Millie sank into the bathtub and hugged herself."W-What do you want?" she asked."I thought it over and decided that I can't leave.""What?"Pierce paced toward her step-by-step. "You're always the one helping me with my needs. Now that I know what you're going through, it'd look bad if I did nothing about it. I can take care of your needs, too.""Never mind! I'll find a solution. I can buy a toy, or call someone—""Call someone?" Pierce's face turned dark."No, I was just running my mouth. I'd never do something like that. I'll buy a toy—"But it was too late—Pierce already joined her in the bathtub. It was a double bathtub, so it was large and had more than enough space for two people.Millie was in her bathing suit, but in contrast, Pierce had already changed

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
