"You're so beautiful, Mills," Pierce said.When Millie heard this, her heart skipped a beat. When Pierce let his guard down, his glistening eyes made him look like a puppy. Millie found it hard to breathe evenly when he looked up at her like that.She held his face and leaned forward before kissing his lips. Although she was the one who started it, Pierce was the one who took control afterward. He impatiently kissed her. He thought that if he tried just a little harder, maybe then Millie wouldn't have a child with someone else. Instead, she might consider having one with him. He wanted to be acknowledged. He wanted to gain honor through his child. Pierce wanted to go even further with Millie. However, he didn't dare to because he knew that Millie still resisted him.His chest rose and fell unevenly as the kiss ended. Then, he looked at Millie with an even more pitiful gaze. His gaze held his unsatisfied desires. It was very tough for him to restrain himself, yet, there
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 422
Millie felt her nose tingling with emotion, but she kept it bottled up. However, the moment she saw her room, she could no longer hold it in and began to cry. In the past, the master bedroom had been inhabited by her parents. Both she and her younger brother, Mateo, had smaller rooms. However, Mateo's room was much bigger than hers, and it also had a balcony and a walk-in closet.Before Mateo was born, that used to be Millie's room. But after he was born, Millie found that all her possessions had been moved to the guest room one day after returning home from school."You'll eventually be married off to someone else, but your brother is different. He'll bring a wife home one day," her parents had said.So just like that, the room that originally belonged to her was given to Mateo. But now, that room with the balcony and the walk-in closet was back, and it was filled with all her possessions. Even the bedsheets and the plushies were perfectly duplicated—everything looked the same.

"It's okay. I'll care about it on your behalf," Pierce said. "Pierce, have you ever thought about the possibility that I could have kept enduring Stefan's treatment toward me? Or imagine if we missed each other because you came back only after I'd left Arbelton."All these things you've done would have been meaningless and nothing would have come out of them," Millie said. "Not all flowers must bear fruit, Mills. It doesn't matter as long as they had the chance to bloom before. Plus, I never would have given up. I would still have shown up in front of you to fight for a chance. Even if you rejected me, I would have met my own fate."Whether it was dying in a mission or being alone for the rest of his life, Pierce would still have met his fate. It just wouldn't be a happy ending."There's no need to do things like that anymore, Pierce. You can love me boldly and openly. You can even announce it to the world! Don't make yourself twisted by forcing yourself to secretly do these t

Sharon began, "At first, I wondered how there could be two people in the world who looked so similar to each other. Turns out, they were actually the same person. He didn't use to go by the name Tristan. "Back then, he moved away to a better house because his family business became successful. However, it turned out that his father was having an affair. As a result, his parents swiftly divorced."He went to live with his father and his cruel stepmother. Soon after, his stepmother became pregnant, and his father began to act like a stepfather. Tristan suffered a lot while he was under the care of his father and stepmother. They prevented him from going to school and even starved him at times."Soon, his mother came to know of the way he was being treated and took back custody of him. It seemed like a fresh beginning for him, but it turned out that the man his mother got remarried to was a deadbeat.

Sharon was still bawling her eyes out.Millie felt deeply sorry for her. She patted Sharon's head to comfort her while saying, "I'll find out who she is."And so, Millie had Tobias to investigate the rich lady's background. They uncovered that her name was Helen Whitmore. Her husband had passed away early, and her son, Ethan Keaton, didn't care about her. So, she spent her days hanging out at clubs with her friends.Ethan ran a tech company, and its AI system which was undergoing development at the moment was highly sought after by many. AI technology was currently a hot commodity, and Atkinson Group was one of the interested parties extending an olive branch to him."Is Atkinson Group interested in securing this particular project?" Millie asked."Yes. But right now, Leach Group is in negotiations with that company. It seems they're close to finalizing the contract—"Tobias' phone was suddenly snatched away."Mills, don't worry about me. Do whatever you want. If the sky fa

Millie Jordan was about to experience what a woman would go through if she were abducted by a group of perverted kidnappers.A dark cloth was tied over her eyes and her mouth was taped shut. She shivered in a corner like a frightened animal. Her body was littered with cuts and bruises all over. The rope around her neck was only less than three feet long. If she moved any further forward, the rope would tighten around her neck, making her unable to breathe.She'd tried struggling many times before, but she always ended up breathless and blue in the face. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt. She simply couldn't get away.She could hear the abductors angrily cursing at her outside the door. They had tried forcing themselves on her just now, but she fought back and bit one of them harshly in the throat. She'd bitten him so hard that his laryngeal bone nearly broke and she nearly killed him.That was the reason why she was beaten half to death and tied up in a corner like this.

Verdier Club was a place Stefan often frequented to drink and hang out with his friends. Millie's conscience told her that the abductor had been lying to her, so she shouldn't be believing what he said. However, she just couldn't stop herself from coming over to have a look for herself.She had been with Stefan for three years and knew the private room he was often in. She rushed there at once."You lost, Ste! So, truth, or dare?""Truth.""Alright then. Who is the woman you love the most?""How's that even a question? Of course, it's Wanda.""Ooh!"Everyone in the private room started to laugh and riot.Millie stood outside the door, her face turning more pale with every second. Her legs felt like lead, and her hand hung mechanically in the air. She couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.A while later, the people in the room seemed to have played another round of "Truth or Dare", and the "Wanda" from before seemed to have lost."You lost, Wanda! So, truth, or dare?"

Pierce extended his hand toward Millie. His fingers were long and slender, and he had a large palm.Millie was frozen in place when she heard his voice again. She was shocked. However, the drunk man rushed up to them just then. Still under the influence of alcohol, he yelled, "Are you fucking blind? Did you not see me standing there? I'm going to skin you…"Pierce said nothing. He handed the umbrella over to Millie and grabbed the drunk man, forcing his arms behind his back.Then, he pulled out his phone and called someone. A while later, the police officers from the nearby station showed up."This man harassed a young woman on the street. He should be a repeat offender. Take him back to the station as a fair warning to him.""Alright, we'll take care of him," the police officers said politely before taking the drunk man away.Millie should have grabbed the opportunity to run while Pierce was busy talking to the police. However, her legs refused to budge. She was still rooted t

When Millie heard Pierce's words, her heart swelled with warmth. She felt both bittersweet and deeply touched. Right away, she instructed the housekeepers help to move her things into the study.The room was spacious enough for two people, and even then, there was still ample space to spare.Millie was like a paintbrush adding vibrant colors to Pierce's monochromatic sketch of a life. Her presence was akin to putting green trees, white clouds, and vivid flowers in the drawing. Bit by bit, she would fill the canvas that was Pierce's life."You continue with what you're doing. I'll just curl up here and read for a while," Millie said, reclining on her chaise lounge with a fashion magazine in hand.Before long, her eyelids grew heavy. She nodded off with her head tilting to one side as she fell into a deep sleep.Seated at his desk, Pierce allowed himself to openly gawk at her. He could hardly believe that this was real. Millie's willingness to be near him filled him with an in

"Has Tobias left? I prepared coffee," Millie said, looking around."He just came to pick up a file," Pierce replied. He felt itchy all over but resisted the urge to scratch in Millie's presence. He had extraordinary self-control, so it wasn't too difficult for him.Millie opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but she ultimately held back. Everyone had their quirks and pride, and there was no need to call attention to them. She simply decided to be more careful next time and to never give Pierce cream again."Alright, I guess I'll get going. Do continue with your work," Millie said. Feeling a sting in her nose, she held back her emotions and quickly left. It wasn't until she returned to her room that she allowed herself to cry.The more she understood Pierce's awkwardness, the more she realized that he was another human being. He wasn't the unfeeling, steel-hearted man she had once imagined him to be. He could get hurt and feel sad, but he had simply learned how to hide

"What's wrong?" Pierce nervously asked when he noticed her frowning."It looks unique. Let's try it," Millie said with a smile.After taking the cake out of the fridge, she took a bite. The texture was a bit dense, and it was a bit dry. So, it was a bit difficult to swallow.In truth, it wasn't very good. But when Millie caught Pierce's expectant gaze, a thought struck her—could he have made this himself?"It's so delicious. I've never had such an amazing strawberry cake," Millie enthusiastically said.The worry in Pierce's eyes faded, and he smiled. "I'm glad you like it.""Try some too," Millie urged.She scooped a bite with her spoon and offered it to him. Pierce didn't hesitate and ate it. He wasn't particular about food and didn't usually eat sweets, so he couldn't tell if it was good or bad. To him, it was fine.Soon, they finished the cake together after taking turns feeding each other."If you like it, I can buy it again," he offered."I do, but let's not overindulg

But what right did he have to be dissatisfied with Millie? "If that's how you feel, I'll treat any child of yours as my own," Pierce solemnly said."What?" Millie blinked, confused. Since when did she have a child?"You're acting strange today," she said, narrowing her eyes."It's nothing. Let's eat." Pierce lowered his gaze and began peeling Millie's favorite shrimps for her.Millie didn't press further. After all, she was used to his peculiarities. While Pierce managed other people and their affairs with calculated precision, he always seemed to lose his composure when it came to her. He was decisive and confident in everything else but hesitant and insecure when dealing with her.Being with someone like Pierce was exhausting, but Millie knew she'd already lost too much in life. She could understand the pathological depth of Pierce's love, and his tenderness warmed her heart.Someone had loved her for 20 years. When everyone else had abandoned her, he had remained stead
