Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Hugging Michael gave me a strong sense of security, and I felt like I could solve any problem that came

my way.

Throughout the next couple of days, he left the house early and came home late, but never once did he

neglect me. In fact, he even had the housekeepers prepare different dishes for me each meal.

However, the fact that Josephine objected to our relationship still left me feeling uneasy, and Michael

coming home late every night wasn't exactly helping.

That night, I couldn't stand it anymore and decided to wait for Michael in the living room as I wanted to

know what he had been up to lately. I didn't know why, but I seemed to have become a lot more

sensitive ever since I got pregnant.

Michael finally came home when the clock was about to strike midnight, and he seemed really

exhausted when he walked through the door.

I had thought of questioning him, but the words became stuck in my throat when I saw the state he was

in.

Suppressing the burning rage in my heart, I walked up to him with a faint smile. “You're finally back.”

“Why are you up so late? Didn't I tell you not to wait up for me if I'm home late?”

Michael frowned when he saw that I was still awake, but I could tell he wasn't actually angry at me.

“I... I couldn't sleep...”

I had wanted to ask him the burning question in the back of my mind, but I didn't know how to go about

it all of a sudden.

“Is something the matter?”

Michael was a smart guy and knew something was up when he saw me stammering hesitantly.

“I...” I lowered my head after looking him in the eye. “You've been leaving the house early and coming

home really late these days, so I wanted to know what you're so busy with.”

I then glanced at Michael nervously as I didn't know how he would respond to my question.

“You stayed up so late just to ask me this?” Michael asked coldly.

I kept quiet and simply looked down in acknowledgement.

Although Michael didn't say anything about my behavior, I could feel that I was being a little

unreasonable. Michael has already promised to be together with me, and yet I'm still questioning him

like this... I bet he must really hate me for this...

Instead of getting mad at me, Michael simply looked me in the eye and replied patiently, “I've been

busy handling the breach of contract and the preparations for our wedding.”

I felt my heart racing when I heard him mention our wedding.

That's right... Michael is a man of his word. I should've trusted him fully right from the start.

When he saw me keeping my head low with a guilty expression, he walked up to me and patted my

head as he said firmly, “I know what you're thinking, Anna. I always fulfill my promises, so stop

overthinking things, okay?”

My heart continued to pound uncontrollably in my chest as I looked up at him and nodded profusely.

I was finally able to calm down after finding out what he had been doing lately and receiving his

reassurance. I knew Michael would never leave me no matter what happened, and I no longer felt

anxious the next time he left home.

In fact, I was even kind of excited as I knew he was making the preparations for our wedding.

That afternoon, I was watching some boring soap opera on television when my phone rang all of a

sudden. A frown formed on my face when I saw Justin's name on the screen.

Justin and I hadn't seen each other for over half a year, nor have we contacted each other the whole

time. I found myself feeling uneasy receiving his call so suddenly and declined it a few seconds later.

There was no need for us to remain in touch as we were no longer related. On top of that, I didn't like

him at all.

In fact, I sometimes cursed at myself for dating such an irresponsible man like him.

I assumed Justin would know better than to call me again after I declined his call, but it seemed I had

underestimated his shamelessness as my phone began ringing again immediately after.

The sight of his name flashing on my screen was really irritating, but I eventually chose to answer it.

Let's see what Justin is up to this time.

“What do you want?” I asked coldly after answering the phone.

“I didn't think you'd answer my call, Anna! I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore!” Justin's

somewhat surprised voice came on the other line after a brief pause.

Justin was really good at sweet-talking people, and that was precisely the reason I had agreed to date

him back then. A single compliment from him would leave me happy for days on end, but that was

many years ago.

I had long since grown out of that phase, and he had hurt me so deeply that I hated him more than

anyone in the entire world.

“Why did you call me? Is something the matter?” I asked, keeping my tone cold and emotionless.

“Are you free to meet up right now, Anna?”

Justin sounded a lot more serious when he heard how cold I sounded, and his request caught me by

surprise.

Nothing good could possibly come out of him asking to meet up so suddenly like this. It's been over

half a year since we broke up, so there's no need for us to meet up at all.

“I don't think there's a need for us to meet up ever again. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If

not, I'll be hanging up now.”

I hated Justin so much that I didn't want to see him in the slightest.

I wanted to hang up after saying that, but then Justin said, “Wait, don't hang up! I just want to see you

once, Anna. I've been feeling guilty for a really long time, and I've wanted to apologize to you. Will you

at least give me a chance to?”

He sounded really anxious and sincere, but it didn't have any effect on me anymore.
