Wanda began, "Ste, I'm already one month along. I won't terminate this pregnancy. I want to keep the baby. This is my child, and it has nothing to do with you…""What are you talking about? Our child has everything to do with me! If you hadn't fainted at the airport, were you planning to never tell me? You idiot, don't you know how hard it is to be a single mother? How will you manage?" Stefan said. Wanda began to cry when she heard this."I don't have a choice… I'll be satisfied as long as you let me keep this baby. I won't ask for anything more. I'll protect our baby no matter how tough it gets."Millie cleared her throat at the right moment, catching Wanda's attention. Wanda's face turned pale when she saw her, and she immediately got out of bed and knelt on the floor."Ms. Jordan, please let me keep this child. I won't come back or use the child to claim any property. I just want a memento of Ste. Please, let me have this.""Why are you even begging her…" Stefan started to s

It was Wanda who let Millie feel like she had no other options."Just think about how you'll keep Stefan from finding out it was you," Millie said with a smile as she watched Wanda's face turn even paler.Millie stood up and looked deeply at Stefan. "Stefan, could you walk me out?""Sure."Stefan's gaze toward Millie was filled with complex emotions. She really did love him deeply, even willing to humble herself and plead with his grandmother to stop meddling in their relationship.Stefan then followed Millie downstairs.Meanwhile, Millie went into a nearby fruit shop. She carefully picked out a fruit basket and bought a bouquet of flowers."Take these up with you. Even though she's okay now, she's probably scared after taking a fall while pregnant. Make sure you comfort her well.""I never knew… you could be so generous.""People change. I want the best for you too, no?" Millie nearly gagged saying that, but she forced herself to keep it together."Stefan, since you chose he

Pierce's breathing was erratic, quick, and hot against Millie's chest. It was sending tingling sensations like a feather brushing against her skin, lifting and falling.Her face flushed uncontrollably, and her ears slowly turned red. Pierce's gaze was dark and obscure like a wolf watching her, ready to devour her whole."Are you nervous?""Put me down!" She snapped in annoyance."Kiss me, and I'll let you go.""You… Pierce Atkinson, have some sense of shame! Who's the one uncomfortable here?""I can control myself.""You…""Let's just stay like this then."Millie glanced outside the window and noticed quite a few passersby giving them strange looks, probably thinking this scene was too scandalous in broad daylight.She bowed her head, feeling mortified.Pierce's self-control was terrifying; even now, he remained steady as a rock, though the desire in his eyes was turbulent and ready to overflow at any moment. Yet, he held his composure, confident that he would win.Finally,

"It's not even real…" Millie couldn't help but mutter softly under her breath.Pierce's face immediately darkened, and she stuck out her tongue in fear, deciding not to say anything further.Pierce then took Millie home, but he didn't truly ignore Samantha. He sent someone to follow her instead.Samantha had been away from Arbelton for a long time and had no close friends left. The only place she could think of going was the Leach Manor, especially since she had once dated Stefan.But it was all just casual as neither of them had ever taken it seriously."Ste, my brother doesn't want me anymore…""What happened?" Stefan had no romantic feelings for Samantha. When his parents sent Wanda abroad, he'd become reckless and started fooling around, dating whoever came along.He'd been involved with Samantha for over six months but always treated her like a little sister, never crossing any lines. He wasn't cruel enough to truly harm a good friend's sister."My brother… He brought home
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 92
Tears welled up in Samantha's eyes, looking pitiful as she reluctantly glanced at Millie."I'm sorry," she said loudly, her voice full of resentment. She then stormed upstairs, slamming her door shut behind her.Millie gave Pierce a helpless look. "Was that really necessary? I don't need a fake apology; it'll just make her resent me even more.""She needs discipline, or she'll become uncontrollable. I'm sorry you have to endure this now, but she'll come around eventually.""I'm going to rest…" Millie said as she turned to head upstairs, but Pierce stopped her."I moved your things to my room.""What?""Sammy will probably report to Grandpa. Don't worry, I've set up a folding bed; it won't be a problem.""Alright, that works."Millie didn't say much else and went to the master bedroom. She noticed her belongings neatly arranged.Meanwhile, the bed was made with perfect corners like a military cot. It almost made her burst into laughter.As she was working on her laptop, she h

The room door opened, and Millie saw Pierce's tall figure walk in. She instinctively straightened her back, trying not to look disheveled."How did things go at the hospital? Was the scrape serious?""She has a congenital blood clotting disorder, so the family usually takes extra precautions. Even the smallest cut can be a problem because it's hard to stop her bleeding.""It's that serious? I… I didn't push her…""I know.""You… know?"This time, it was Millie's turn to be stunned. She had expected to explain herself for a long time, with her throat drying out in the process. But Pierce simply said he knew."I was worried about her condition at the time. She needed immediate medical attention, so I didn't have time to explain.""Oh… So, she's alright now?""She's fine now. It was a false alarm, but we still need to be careful." Pierce wearily rubbed his temples."Have you washed up?""Yes, I have.""Then go to bed early. I'll wash up too."After showering, Pierce unfolded

"I've arranged for a driver to take you elsewhere. There will be a housekeeper and a driver ready for you. If you need anything, call me," Pierce said calmly.Samantha stood there, stunned. She never expected she would be the one to leave. She had always stayed here, but now that her brother had a new wife, he no longer doted on her. She felt deeply wronged, and tears started streaming down her face."Pierce, are you really sending me away?""I'm doing this to protect you. If you keep getting hurt, it means you and Millie don't get along. It's for your own good.""I…" Samantha deflated. "It's not that we don't get along; I was just careless. I'll be more careful next time."Her brother cared most about her well-being. She had hoped to drive Millie away, but her plan backfired, and now she was the one leaving.She had no choice but to back down."Then apologize to your sister-in-law. You got hurt and scared her.""Apologize to her? I'm the one who got hurt!""Then moving out wi

Millie was taken aback. She couldn't believe she was Pierce's first woman."Millie Jordan!"Pierce's voice took on a different tone, and Millie realized she had gone too far. The towel was sticking up in a way that couldn't be missed."I'm just curious.""Curiosity killed the cat. Have you heard of it?"Pierce walked up aggressively, cornering Millie against a glass cabinet. Inside it were all sorts of fancy watches and jewelry.Feeling the cold surface on her back, Millie felt a chill running down her spine."What do you want?""No peeking. Just give me a hand.""Why can't I look?""It's filthy.""I don't want—""I'm begging you," Pierce whispered into Millie's ear. He kept his voice down as he tried to hold back.His pleading sounded like a puppy in distress. She felt her heart skip a beat. Eventually, she gave in; no one could resist his surprisingly cute side.Pierce appeared fearless and untouchable in public, exuding a haughty and sophisticated presence. But in a si

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at

Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any

Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the

That night, Millie couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned, unable to quiet her thoughts.When morning finally arrived, she immediately got up, washed up, and packed her things to head to the hospital. Pierce saw how anxious she was but said nothing. He simply accompanied her to the hospital without a word.Once Millie got there, she took over looking after Stefan from Agnes and Robin. She urged them to go home, wash up, and get some rest."Pierce and I are here. We'll take good care of him," Millie said reassuringly."Alright. I'll leave Stefan in your care then," Agnes replied.Only then did she finally leave, walking away with slow, heavy steps.After that, Millie changed into sterile clothing and entered the ward.Stefan looked weak, but his spirits seemed a little better. When he saw Millie, he even forced a smile and greeted, "You're here.""Does your wound hurt?" Millie asked in concern."No, not really. I have painkillers and a PCA pump, so I barely feel anythin
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 595
In the end, she and Stefan were simply not meant to be. The distance between them only grew wider as life went on. He should never have saved her.Pierce held Millie close. "Don't overthink it. The doctors are still working on him. We'll know once they come out. He's tough. He'll be fine.""Pierce, why did he have to do that? My heart feels so heavy." Millie wept."I know, I know." Pierce gently patted her back. He understood exactly how she felt.He wasn't afraid of Stefan scheming against him, but what worried him more was that Stefan would suddenly change and sacrifice himself to make amends for his past mistakes.If he had remained cruel, Millie could have hated him completely. But now, by repaying his debts bit by bit, he had placed Millie in an impossible position. She couldn't love him, but she also couldn't bring herself to hate him.Soon, Agnes and Robin arrived too.Agnes had aged significantly in the recent months, and she seemed to be in noticeably weaker spirits as

"Stefan, are you okay? Hold on! I'll take you to the hospital right away," Millie urgently said."Are… Are you hurt anywhere?" Stefan asked in a trembling voice, forcing himself to endure the pain.Even at a time like this, he was still worried about her."I'm okay… I-I'm fine," Millie replied with a slight stutter."That's good." Stefan breathed a sigh of relief.Millie glanced at the rotting, festering wound on his back and couldn't help but anxiously tear up. She didn't wait for Pierce and immediately hailed a cab.Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd had subdued the attacker—it turned out to be the disgruntled Carlos who had been fired. Even as he was restrained, he kept screaming that he wanted to kill Millie and make Pierce regret it for the rest of his life.As the commotion went on, Millie helped Stefan into the car. His back was so badly wounded that he couldn't lean against the seat. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat
