Hearing the disconnect tone from the phone, my heart sank in despair. I was still trembling in fear.
I might not be this scared if this had happened before. However, I was pregnant now. I had to keep
myself safe during my pregnancy.
It would take Michael at least another half an hour to travel to my place. Yet, he came into sight within
twenty minutes.
After taking in the messy situation, the look on his face froze for a moment. He then strode toward me
and crouched down with a concerned look. “What happened?”
Michael's voice was deep and hoarse, it sounded a little cold, but I could tell that he was nervous about
me.
“I don't know. A couple of men barged in and started smashing my stuff. They didn't say anything but
mentioned that I've made some enemy out there.”
I got into his arms once he appeared in front of me. His presence made me feel much more relieved,
and my fear from earlier was slowly fading away.
“How about you? Did they hurt you?”
He carefully scrutinized me. I knew he was concerned about me.
“I-I'm fine...”
I was about to tell him that they shoved me, but I swallowed my words immediately as I didn't want him
to know about the baby.
Although I said I was fine, Michael was still frowning. Noticing the cold glint in his eyes, I guessed he
was furious about this.
“Do you know who did this?”
We were silent for a while, and Michael turned toward me, asking me that question with a serious tone.
My gaze flickered slightly upon hearing that question. I didn't know how to answer him.
“If I told you this was Emma's doing, will you believe me?”
After all, Emma was Michael's fiancée. I had already driven a wedge between them back when Michael
helped me. He probably wouldn't believe my words now.
As expected, Michael's expression darkened upon hearing that. He didn't answer, and his silence made
me feel uneasy.
I didn't want to suspect Emma of this, but she was the only one holding grudges against me. Besides,
not many people knew that I lived here.
Michael was remaining silent, but his gaze turned colder with time. I hung my head low, feeling a little
disappointed. Before I could say something else, Michael interrupted by saying, “I'll have someone
clean this mess up later. Let's take you to the hospital and see if you're injured.”
Just like that, Michael shifted the topic. He then helped me up.
“There's no need for that. I wasn't injured. They didn't hurt me.” I rejected his offer right away. I was
afraid that he would find out that I was pregnant once we were at the hospital.
I pushed his hand away, and my expression turned a little awkward. To be more accurate, I panicked
and felt guilty.
Michael was a smart guy, and he frowned upon noticing my unusual reaction. His eyes were filled with
doubts as he stared at me.
“Anna, are you hiding something from me?”
He stared down at me with an inquisitive look in his eyes.
I would always feel guilty whenever he looked at me like that especially now that I was hiding my
pregnancy from him.
“N-No, not at all. You're overthinking.”
I was being wary, afraid that he would notice anything.
If I was to tell him about my pregnancy, he might think that I would use my baby to threaten him.
“Anna, you'd better not be hiding anything from me.”
Michael stopped asking, but I could tell that he didn't buy my act at all.
“Well, it's not like I can hide anything from you without you knowing. Am I right?”
I lowered my head in guilt, not having the courage to meet his gaze. Regardless, I still tried to sound
calm.
“You'd better be!”
He scoffed. After scrutinizing me, he made a phone call to request someone to clean up this place and
replace the furniture.
“I will get to the bottom of this, and I promise this will not happen again,” Michael said that with a
gloomy expression as he swept a glance across the house.
Perhaps he had started suspecting Emma even though he didn't react to what I said earlier.
Not too long after the phone call, a group of people already arrived at the house and cleaned the mess
up. They had also sent over the new furniture. With Michael's luxurious preference, the furniture they
sent was high-end too.
I hesitated for a while before saying, “I don't think I can pay you back for the furniture right now, but I'll
think of a way to do so.”
In truth, I wanted to ask if I could refuse the furniture Michael asked to send over. They all looked
expensive, and I could never afford them without working for years. On top of that, I was having a baby
too.
“Did I ask for you to pay me back?” Michael sounded upset as he frowned.
“How can I not pay you back when all this furniture looks this expensive?”
I panicked a little upon hearing that. I knew Michael was generous, but we were not together anymore.
If anyone else found out about this, it would certainly stir up unwanted gossips, and I never wanted to
go through that again.
“Anna, are you trying to get rid of my presence in your life?”
Although I knew my decision was the right thing to do, it wasn't the same case for Michael. He never
liked people rejecting him.
“It's not like that. You've helped me with a lot, and I can't possibly ask for more. That's why, you don't
have to help me in this,” I said timidly with my head hung low.
“Fine, do as you please, then!”
Michael was visibly angry. He turned around and walked away after saying that.
I lowered my eyes in disappointment after he left. I felt terrible, but there was nothing I could do about it
now that we were no longer together.
The brand new furniture made my house look more high-end than before, but at the same time, there
were lesser traces of my memories with Michael in this place. Perhaps it was time for both of us to
move on.
