บททั้งหมดของ I'm Out of Your League Now: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Millie's mind went blank. Soon, she came to her senses and said, "Can you please keep it a secret for him? He doesn't know about this. Can I have my parents pick me up instead?""Sorry, but I've already called him. He's on his way now, and he'll be here at any minute."Millie could hide her marriage with Pierce from the public, but she couldn't hide it from the police department's social network database. The name of her partner was displayed as clear as day: Pierce Atkinson.When Millie heard that, she wished she could just disappear."Where's Millie?"Just then, Millie heard a familiar voice outside. The voice was low, and its owner sounded like he was suppressing his fury."Over here, Pierce."The police officer shouted.Millie froze. Did they know each other?Pierce entered the room with a foul look on his face. His dark gaze fell upon Millie."Pierce, look at these photos of you! They're quite good."The police officer smiled as he waved the photos in front of Pierce. M

Millie didn't know the answer, nor did she dare to reply."Clear your mind and look straight ahead."Millie took a deep breath and calmed down. She began getting used to the recoil.This time, she didn't miss the target. She managed to hit the edge of it.Her palms were covered in sweat, and she could barely hold the gun."Are you so nervous just because I'm here?"Pierce's half-amused voice rang out. Millie wasn't even sure if he was getting this close to her on purpose. His thin lips were almost pressed against her skin, and his hot and humid breaths kept entering her ear."N-No.""Then why are your ears so red?"As soon as Pierce finished speaking, Millie took in a sharp breath. Pierce had actually bitten her, and it hurt a little.But he soon let go of her. He moved his tongue around as if to caress the spot where it hurt.He did all this in quick succession. Beside them, Jason was still celebrating the fact that he managed to hit the 9-ring, so he didn't notice what was

Pierce was stunned.He thought that Millie felt ill because Jason's stories were too cruel and gory.To his surprise, Millie was upset about something else entirely.She was mad that Pierce didn't care about his own safety."You've saved my life as well, and you've also helped me out on many occasions after that. It's only normal that I would be worried about you, right?"I'm glad that you've already resigned. If you're still in this line of work, I won't get married to you at all. I'm not a heartless person. Even if we aren't a real married couple, I'll still be worried about you."You should value yourself more, and learn to love yourself before you learn to love others! You shouldn't just ignore your own life. You have to ensure your safety before going out there to save other people.""Alright," Pierce said earnestly. He seemed to be actually listening to her."I… I also feel that you can only apprehend more criminals if you stay alive. You agree with me, don't you?""Yeah

Millie exerted all her energy, finally breaking through the stiffness in her body.She immediately ran without looking back."What's the matter? Do I look that terrifying?"The man smiled as he spoke with a knowing look in his eyes.Millie ran headlong, and she didn't even dare to look back. She didn't dare to hesitate for even a second, fearing that that single second would give the man a chance to catch up to her.She broke through her physical limits as she ran, and by the time she was about to slow down, she felt like her heart was leaping into her throat.There were more people around her now, and she finally felt a little safer.She turned around and looked. The man didn't run after her.Still, she was extremely terrified. She hid in a bathroom in a mall, her hands shaking as she took out her phone to call Pierce.She should be calling the police right now.But she subconsciously contacted Pierce first.The call went through soon enough."What's the matter?"Pierce's

"I'm okay, and I've gotten much better. Can you please not go? Just stay here with me, okay?"Perhaps because Millie had been sick, now that she had woken up, her weak voice was filled with fatigue.Pierce wanted to reprimand her for trying to end her own life, but when he saw her current condition, he suppressed the urge."I'll be here, then. I'm not going anywhere."Pierce stayed by Millie's side, but he was still worried about her health. He pressed the call button, and the doctor came over to examine Millie. Millie's fever had gone down, and she would be fine for now.To be safe, the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for one more day, but she could also go home right away.Millie chose to go home.She didn't want to stay in an unfamiliar place."Pierce, let's go home, alright? I don't want to stay here.""Okay. Let's go home, then."Millie changed her clothes, but she didn't have the energy to walk. She was going to ask Pierce to get a wheelchair for her, but
