Chapter 553 An Ambiguous Message
I could not help but feel revolted when I recalled the pitiful look that Leanne put on when she was with Michael. In the eyes of men, she might appear weak and helpless. However, in the eyes of women, her vulnerability appeared fake.
“Fine. Even if you don’t like her, you don’t have to say that about her, do you?”
Michael shook his head helplessly. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling sorry for her? I haven’t even finished yet. What’s the hurry?”
For the past two days, I had not been in a good mood because he had been spending his nights taking care of that woman. Now that he was defending Leanne, it infuriated me even more.
I looked into Michael’s eyes and continued to poke him with my words. “What makes you think I feel sorry for her? I’m not related to Leanne in any way. Why should I feel sorry for her?”
I knew Michael would be displeased with what I said just now, but I could not care less. “Are you sure? Do you think I can’t tell that woman is interested in you? You may treat her as a friend, but she may not think so. She may want something more than that with you.”
Hmph! Even though I knew Michael did not betray me, I was still upset at the thought of another woman pining for my man.
Sometimes, when your partner was too outstanding, it could bring you fear and uncertainty. Although I was aware that he was faithful to me, he might still fall for her tricks.
“All right. Don’t be angry. There’s nothing between Leanne and me. Didn’t you say so just now? You will hire a nurse to look after her so that I don’t have to see her again.”
When Michael noticed the annoyance in my tone, he stopped the car and pulled me into his arms.
When I heard what he said, the anger in me subsided. I rolled my eyes at him and said nothing else.
After our meal, Michael did not return to the hospital. Instead, he drove straight home.
The moment we reached home, his phone beeped to indicate that he had received a message.
When Michael was driving, he had the habit of leaving his phone next to him. Therefore, both of us could see that the message was from Leanne.
Knowing that she had ulterior motives, the incoming message from her irritated me even more.
I looked up at Michael unhappily.
Michael picked up his phone and was about to read the message when I snatched his phone from him. There was only a single sentence.
I have never thought we will become strangers one day…
It looked like an innocent statement, but there was an ambiguous meaning behind it. I did not like it one bit, so I deleted the message straight away.
Michael looked at me without any expression or reaction.
Seeing that he said nothing, I felt like venting my frustration on him. “What’s wrong? Are you angry with me for deleting your message?”
Although Leanne was the one who sent the message, I could only vent it out to Michael. It was his fault for having so many admirers.
Michael shook his head and said, “I didn’t say anything. If you want to delete it, go ahead.”
