Chapter 549 This Relationship Is Over
“All right, I will take better care of myself.” Not wanting anyone from the Shaw family to know what had happened between the two of us, I tried my best to hide my emotions.
“Come on, eat up and get some rest in your room. Since you’re not feeling well, you should take the day off. Wouldn’t want you collapsing from exhaustion in the office!” Josephine said while handing me a sandwich. As I didn’t feel like saying anything, I simply kept quiet and continued eating in silence.
“Where’s Michael? I haven’t seen him at all! Where did he run off to so early in the morning?” Andy asked all of a sudden while staring coldly at me.
I felt a little upset hearing his words, but I forced myself to look at him calmly as I replied, “He left to take care of something last night and hasn’t come home since. I have no idea where he is right now.”
Just thinking about Michael possibly being with another woman at the moment felt unimaginably painful, but I couldn’t afford to show it in front of them.
Andy slammed his fork down on the table and shouted angrily, “He sure is getting out of hand lately! He stayed out all night the day before, and he went out again last night? What on earth could he possibly be doing?”
Oh dear, I’m the one who should be feeling upset here…
I simply lowered my head and kept quiet at the thought of that.
“Calm down, Dad. Let’s just ask him about this when he gets back,” Josephine comforted Andy when she saw how mad he was.
“Honestly, I don’t know what he’s so busy with! I haven’t seen him around in two days now! Does he even have any respect for me at all?”
Andy was still angry even after Josephine tried to calm him down.
Suddenly, Michael opened the door and came into the house. Everyone, including myself, shifted our gaze toward him the moment he showed up.
I felt my eyes tearing up when I recalled him spending the night with another woman.
“I’m surprised you even bother coming home! Look at the time, Michael! Where have you been last night? What were you doing?” Andy started questioning him even before he could sit down at the table.
Unfazed by his anger, Michael took his coat off and sat down beside me as he replied calmly, “I had to take care of something urgent last night. It kept me busy until now.”
“What was so urgent that you had to stay out all night? This isn’t the first time it has happened. What has gotten into you lately?”
Andy shifted his gaze back toward me when he said that. He had always been a sharp person, so he must’ve noticed something was amiss from the look in my eyes.
Unhappy with being questioned, Michael looked up at Andy and protested with a frown, “I’m an adult now, Grandpa. I don’t think I have to report every single thing to you, do I?”
“Michael!”
Andy was about to say something, but Michael’s cold attitude upset me so much that I went upstairs without a word.
