Chapter 306 Adamant
Thanks to my parents, the terrible feeling I felt earlier remained even after returning home. It was saddening that the first thing they had to say when they saw me was asking for two million.
Despite already acknowledging that I was insignificant to them a long time ago, seeing them prioritizing money over my happiness was still disheartening.
As if that was not enough, Michael received a call from Josephine as soon as we arrived. Even though she did not say anything other than wanting Michael to head home, I perceived that it must be about the incident at the hotel earlier.
After hanging up the phone, Michael stared at me with an unnatural expression. I knew he was pondering about how to tell me about that call.
“Don’t worry about me. Go ahead.” I smiled at him in response while feigning a look of nonchalance desperately.
Still, needing to hide my true feelings was not only unbearable but also depressing. I believed no woman could face such an incident forthrightly if it happened before their wedding.
“I’ll be back very soon.” Michael curled his lips into a half-smile after my words and planted a kiss on my forehead before leaving.
Following his departure, the smile on my face vanished as I looked toward the door in anguish.
Anyhow, I realized that it was not wise for me to dwell on such a feeling unceasingly. Thus, I took a deep breath to compose myself before making up my mind to meet my mother about the money issue. I would not allow them to receive two million from Michael for no reason whatsoever.
A few moments later, I arrived at the house my mother lived. After knocking on the door for quite some time, someone finally opened it for me. It was Steven. Unlike his previous hospitable demeanor, he looked indifferent when he saw me.
I recognized that their decent attitude toward me previously was only because of the betrothal gift. Since the situation had escalated to this extent, it was no surprise that a 180-degree change of attitude occurred.
Once he opened the door, Steven walked back into the house without even sparing a glance at me.
When I entered the living room, I discovered that my parents were on the couch watching TV. Like Steven, they did not bother to cast a glance at me.
It was pretty apparent that they were ignoring me since I was standing not too far away from them.
Regardless, I decided to remain standing while looking at them watching dramas for the time being as I thought they would talk to me after dissipating their anger. However, I had overestimated my importance. For the next thirty minutes, I was a nobody that no one gave a rip about.
