“I know exactly who you are, Justin. You don't have to waste time beating around the bush. Just tell me
right away what you want from me! What is on your mind?” I grimaced and snapped at him coldly. I had
had enough of him babbling to me in such a pretentious way.
At that instant, I spotted a sudden change in Justin's countenance. There were unmissable flickers of
shock and panic in his eyes. Regardless of how well he was bottling up his emotions, I had a gut
feeling that he had something up his sleeves.
“Anna, I don't get what you mean. How can I have any hidden motive? I'm pleading for your
forgiveness and trying to make it up to you. I wish to win your heart again so you can be back by my
side.” Justin continued to put on a sincere look and gazed at me with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
If I were unaware of his wicked mind, I would surely relent at the sight of his sincerity. Even if it was
impossible for me to forgive him, I would soften up and stop striking him with harsh words.
Nevertheless, the unmistakable anxiety that flashed across his eyes a while ago had convinced me that
he was up to something.
“Can you please stop putting on a show? We were together for seven years. Do you think you can hide
your true colors from me? Just be frank with me. What is your intention of approaching me? Or perhaps
you intend to drive a wedge between Michael and me?” I questioned him directly.
I presumed he intended to destroy my relationship with Michael by setting me up. That explained why
the photo was sent to Michael deliberately, and it was the only reason I could think of at that moment.
I was actually trying to sound him out by asking him intentionally, and I was proven right when a hint of
disbelief flickered in his eyes. So his exact motive is to strain the relationship between Michael and me!
“Why did you do that to me? We have broken up for such a long time and haven't crossed paths with
each other since then. Why are you messing up my life now? Why are you doing this!”
The only thing I wanted right now was to be with Michael. I would not forgive anyone who tried to
destroy our relationship.
“Anna, don't get me wrong. I came looking for you because I really wish to get back together with you.
Apart from that, I don't have any other motives. You have to trust me.” Justin was still giving excuses to
talk me into believing his words.
No matter what, I reminded myself not to fall into his trap. He was not merely thinking of reconciling
with me.
“If you are really feeling guilty for what you have done, please stop interfering with my life again. I will
never be together with you for the rest of my life. Michael is the man whom I'm deeply in love with!” I
snarled at him.
Since Justin was trying to cover up his motive by all means, there was nothing I could do without
concrete evidence. I could only make my stance clear that I would not fall for any other man again
except Michael.
Justin's face turned grim. Nevertheless, I was not in the mood to bicker with him again. I stood up and
turned away from him.
“Anna...” Justin called out my name behind me, trying to say something to hold me back.
I turned a blind eye to him and strode out of the café without looking back.
Arriving home, I was getting more desperate to know what Justin wanted to do. We have not met each
other for such a long time. Why did he come to see me?
When Michael came back, we had dinner as usual. Seated opposite him, I hesitated if I should bring up
the topic about Justin.
I could barely wait to know what was going on. However, I did not dare to voice my doubt, fearing that I
would infuriate the man unintentionally by mentioning Justin's name.
“Just say it right away if you have something in your mind,” Michael piped up, sensing that I had
something to say.
Hearing that, I put down my fork and gazed into his eyes. “I want to know why Justin is looking for me.”
I looked at Michael anxiously after saying that, worried that he would lash out at any moment.
Surprisingly, he only furrowed his brows and did not flip out.
“I bet it has something to do with Emma, but I can't jump to a conclusion right now as we are still in the
midst of the investigation,” Michael explained nonchalantly as if he was talking about something casual.
I knitted my brows when I heard Emma's name. This woman has been coming at me all this while.
Michael and I are getting married and she is still thinking of stirring up trouble? Damn it! She is just too
much!
I was livid. How I wished to confront her at once. Michael doesn't like her, but she refuses to let go of
him. My goodness! I wonder if she has any sense of shame!
“How do Emma and Justin know each other? What is going on?” I asked again in bewilderment.
I was doubtful about the relationship between Emma and Justin. I did not think there was any possibility
that the two of them were into something together. As a materialistic person, I bet Justin would not be
willing to team up with her in anything without any benefit in return.
Michael replied placidly, “I was notified that both of them seem to be liaising closely with each other via
phone calls. Anyway, it will take a little more time before anything can be traced.”
Since Michael was still awaiting further details on the investigation, I knew I would not be able to clear
my doubt on what was happening. However, I believed he would not be mad at me again after knowing
that Emma was manipulating everything.
“If Emma turns out to be the one manipulating everything, what are you going to do?” I asked warily.
“Even till now, my mom still likes her a lot. What do you think I can do?” Michael frowned.
He did not state clearly what could be done to get the matter resolved. However, it seemed that there
was nothing he could do, even if he knew that Emma was the mastermind because his mother would
surely stand up for her under any circumstances.
Feeling dejected like a deflated balloon, I told myself to cheer up with Michael's determination to be
with me. After all, she was still Michael's mother, and I never had the intention of instigating him into
having a falling-out with his mother.
“You don't have to worry. I won't marry that woman again,” he said firmly before lowering his head and
continuing eating. I bet he must have sensed what was bugging my mind.
Michael's promise managed to ease my frustration. Undeniably, his words meant everything to me. As
long as he promised to stand by my side forever, I had nothing to fear.
I gazed affectionately at him and uttered solemnly, “Michael, my greatest happiness is to spend the rest
of my life with you.”
I could foresee there would be obstacles awaiting us if I insisted on being together with Michael, but
there was nothing for me to fear as long as I could be with him.
