《I'm Out of Your League Now》全部章節：第 371 章 - 第 380 章

Millie parted her lips. She wanted to say something, but at that moment, she didn't know what to say.She knew that if Pierce hadn't shown up in time, she would have been assaulted. However, if it had been the kidnapper who'd assaulted her, she could have hated him for her whole life, and at least then, she'd even have good reason to murder him if she could. But it was Pierce. She couldn't bring herself to hate him. If it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else. Still, Millie felt like she didn't even have the right to resent the criminal who had tried to force himself on her. She couldn't let go of the pain, and it felt like she was being deadly stubborn.She couldn't persuade Pierce, and he couldn't persuade himself either. They were stuck in this stalemate and had no idea when it would end.Perhaps time would provide an answer.Millie walked forward with her head down. She drove to the mall, bought a few things, and headed to the Lytles' family residence.She had t

Agnes glared at Stefan, feeling exasperated that he never seemed to get the point. "Wanda isn't as simple as she seems on the surface. Aren't you worried that you may be speaking up for the wrong person?"Stefan's face turned a shade paler, but he firmly insisted, "Even if I'm backing the wrong person, I'll continue to stand up for her! Wanda isn't as bad as you think. Why are you so prejudiced against her, Grandma? "The first time we slept together, I was drunk and forced myself on her. If anyone is to blame, it's me. Isn't it because you're biased toward me that you push all the blame onto Wanda?""You're incorrigible and completely hopeless!" Agnes' voice trembled in anger as she spoke.Millie hadn't intended to intervene. After all, this was their family matter. However, she couldn't stand by and watch Stefan agitate Agnes to the point of making her collapse either. So, she pushed the door open and stepped out. When Stefan saw her, his expression shifted, and he immediately

"You're so thoughtful and observant, Pierce," Rachel praised.As soon as she finished speaking, Pierce placed a piece of honey-barbecued pork chop on Millie's plate.One of Millie's eyebrows twitched and lifted slightly. How did Pierce know that she liked foods that were sweet and sour?Millie had an odd feeling about this but couldn't quite put a finger on it.Robin and Rachel noticed this and exchanged a glance. They both understood what the other was thinking at that moment.By the time they finished the meal, Agnes was taking her afternoon nap. Thus, Millie thought that it was best that she didn't disturb Agnes' rest and decided to leave.When Millie got to her car, she noticed something unusual with the tires. She looked down and discovered that a nail had punctured one of them, and it had already deflated. One side of her car was now noticeably lower compared to the other side."It was fine when I arrived," Millie said, puzzled."Maybe a kid did it, or perhaps you ran

Millie listened to the voicemail message on the other end of the line. She was at a loss.This time, it seemed like she had truly gone too far.She sat down and tried to recall when she might have saved Pierce. But try as she might, she couldn't recall anything. Perhaps it was just a small, insignificant act of kindness on her part. But for Pierce, who might have been in crisis, it could have been a monumental favor.Millie thought that there was no need to make such a big deal out of it because she couldn't even remember it herself!Now that she had calmed down, she wanted to talk to Pierce with a softer approach. But there was no longer a chance for her to do that.Nevertheless, Millie decided not to dwell on it. Her words had indeed been harsh. But if this could lead to severing ties with Pierce once and for all, maybe it wasn't a bad thing. After all, if they were emotionally distant for two years in their marriage, she could use this as grounds for a divorce.Millie th

Pierce had been missing for a full week now.Millie and Tobias were completely out of leads and could only patiently wait for any news. Millie's network wasn't as extensive as Tobias's. So, if he couldn't find Pierce, she naturally stood no chance.Though Millie claimed to not care, she had been eating poorly and hadn't been getting much sleep. As a result, she'd lost significant weight during this time.Every day, she went to her design studio but couldn't produce any work. She lived aimlessly with her mind constantly troubled.By now, news of Pierce's disappearance had already spread. Some speculated that his years as a police officer had earned him too many enemies and that he had been secretly silenced. Others suggested that he had fallen gravely ill and gone abroad for treatment.Julian had heard the rumors and noticed Millie's distracted state. He saw how she was unwilling to stay home and how she forced herself to keep busy. It made him feel sorry for her."Millie, why d
