I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 500
Curiously, Millie wanted to have lunch at the cafeteria in Atkinson Group. "I didn't have anything for breakfast, and I'm starving. Let's go now." Millie relied on a wheelchair whenever she went outside. If she was in the Atkinson residence, she could still support herself on the railing or lean against the wall to walk. Now, Millie no longer felt pain in her rib area. She'd even be able to remove the metal plate after a certain period of recovery. Pierce wheeled her into the hallway, and both of them chatted happily. Occasionally, Millie would turn around and look at him, and her eyes would be sparkling every time she did.Meanwhile, Stefan was standing nearby. The sight of them was enough to shatter his heart. He didn't dare to tell anyone that he had remembered everything. After Wanda had reprimanded him in a huff, he'd gone home and had a high fever. When he eventually regained consciousness, his memories came flooding back as well. Stefan wished that he hadn't gotte

"It's fine. Millie likes it. If you like it and want to come here often, I'll have the kitchen upgrade their menu and create more dishes," Pierce said."Sure," Samantha replied.When the surrounding people heard this, tears welled in their eyes. After all, they would also benefit from this.Their food was going to become better since they ate the same food as Samantha!And what was Samantha blabbering about? What was so bad about eating this? Everyone else was enjoying their food!Those who once considered Samantha as adorable were now of a different opinion.Samantha hated it here. However, as Pierce was here, she did not feel like leaving. She repeatedly wiped her hands with a napkin and reluctantly sat down.Pierce and Millie were seated across from each other, while Samantha sat next to Pierce on purpose."Get me a set too, Pierce. You know what I like," she said."Your preference keeps changing. I don't remember anymore," Pierce simply replied.He then got up and sat dow

"What's your plan, then? They're definitely close. After all, she's been his adoptive sister for decades. Pierce also treats her like a real sister. Even if he keeps a distance from her after being with you, he'd still be concerned about her whenever she falls sick," Sharon said.Upon hearing this, Millie let out a long sigh.This was what troubled her the most.Moreover, she could not send Samantha away this time since the Atkinson family was the one who deliberately made her stay.Even if Millie were able to send Samantha back this time, she would only come back again. She might even start some trouble.It was not like she could force Samantha to get married off to someone. After all, marriage was a significant matter."I don't feel like going back tonight. I'll just stay here." Millie walked over to the sofa and laid down, pretending to be dead.She didn't answer any of Pierce's many calls. She had only sent him a text message telling him that she would be accompanying Sharon

"I only see you as my sister. There'll never be anything more than that between us. I'm just going to be very clear with you—Millie's the only person I like. "Wait… to be precise, Millie's the only one I love," Pierce said.When Samantha heard this, her face became as pale as a ghost. Her lips trembled, and she could not breathe.Her tears kept falling, and she felt extremely miserable.However, Pierce simply watched on without comforting her at all.Pierce then said, "I could never understand why you disliked Millie, but I get it now. You're not protective of me like a sister would of a brother. It was something else."I won't allow this kind of relationship between us. Since I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Millie, I'd like to give her a sense of security, and you're jeopardizing that."Sammy, if you're willing to be just a sister to me, you can still keep your title as the beloved daughter and heiress of the Atkinson family. "As an elder brother, I'll protect an

Pierce was more than willing to put his status aside for Millie's sake. So, he immediately baked a cake in the company cafeteria. Naturally, some staff saw him doing it. "Mr. Atkinson is carrying some flour and butter with him. What is he doing with them?""Wait a minute. Did he just go to the kitchen? Dear Lord, is he going to make something in the kitchen with his own hands?"Some of the staff were quite close to Tobias, and they couldn't resist springing the question on him. "What is Mr. Atkinson doing?"Tobias replied, "Well. Mr. Atkinson just upset Mrs. Atkinson. So, he's making strawberry cake, her favorite dessert, as a way of apology.""Jeezums. He really dotes on her.""Get comfortable. You're going to see this frequently," Tobias said in a slightly sentimental tone. He had gotten used to this by now.Meanwhile, Millie hadn't eaten anything for the whole day. But surprisingly, other than feeling a little lethargic, she wasn't even peckish.She lazily laid on the c

"Son of a bitch!" the street thug cursed. He was about to hit Samantha, but the bar manager stopped him. "Are you trying to get yourself killed? This lady here is the heiress to the Atkinson family. She is Pierce Atkinson's younger sister. Think before you act!"The street thug immediately lost his courage when he heard what the bar manager said. Samantha heard what he said too, but it sounded very sarcastic and hurtful to her. After all, if she continued to antagonize Millie, she would be nothing. These people might fear and respect her now, but they wouldn't act this way if she lost everything. This realization didn't sit well with Samantha. She had to figure out a way to keep herself safe. She had to be able to fend for herself, even if she left Pierce's side. Samantha found a number in her contact list and dialed it. About half an hour later, the man she called finally arrived at the bar. "You said you needed my help with something. What is it?" Stefan sat across

Before long, Samantha retrieved her social security card and met up with Stefan. Both of them then quickly got their marriage certificate. "When will you make an official announcement about us, Ste?""Right now. The bigger, the better, too. I can't let you feel sorry for yourself now. Can I, honey?" Stefan's grin deepened. Samantha didn't notice anything. All she knew was that she was very pleased with his response. "You're going to the Atkinson residence with me tonight then. I want to show you off to them!""Great," Stefan simply replied.Soon, Leach Group released the news that they were forming an alliance through marriage with Atkinson Group. The entire nation was shook when the news was made known to the public. Two of the most prestigious families had just joined forces, and it was terrifying for their competitors. Some of them couldn't help but make remarks about Stefan's marriage. After all, he had just gotten divorced not long ago, and yet he was already marrying S

Samantha was thrilled that she could make Pierce suffer to this extent. She said, "You forced my hand, Pierce. You're the reason all of this happened. I've called Mom and Dad. They know that I'm married to Stefan, and they were very supportive of it. They think that I've the right man. "I'm no longer an heiress to the Atkinson family. Now, I'm Mrs. Leach. You should be happy for me, Pierce. If you can't give me a life of happiness and bliss, then the least you can do is get out of the way, so another man can give it to me." Samantha held Stefan's arm tighter. Stefan hadn't uttered a single word this whole while. As far as he was concerned, he missed out on the lady he loved the most, so it no longer mattered to him who he married now.At the very least, Stefan was aware that Samantha meant to harm Millie, and he could immediately bring Samantha under control as soon as he saw her doing something sinister. This was his way of protecting Millie. Stefan believed that he had mad

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

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
