Chapter 558 Left Michael Because Of Money
The tension between Michael and I grew more intense. When his phone rang, we instinctively looked at the screen. The moment I realized the caller was Leanne, I smirked.
Great timing. It’s as if that woman knows Michael and I are having a fight. But Michael rejected the call right away. I wonder if it was because of the promise he made earlier.
I was relieved that he didn’t pick up the call. had he answered the call right in front of me, I would definitely not forgive him. A few seconds later, Leanne called again. What a persistent woman!
Her name kept appearing on the screen, and I was annoyed. Before Michael could pick up the phone, I snatched it over and rejected the call. I got so frustrated that I eventually blacklisted her number.
“It’s gonna be a hassle for you to keep rejecting her calls. Adding her number to the blacklist can solve your problem once and for all!” I said.
But I’d never admit that I did that out of jealousy!
Michael took a glance at me with his deadpan expression. It was as if he wasn’t bothered by what I did to Leanne’s number.
“Do anything you want, but just don’t get mad at me anymore,” he said in a calm voice.
I couldn’t sense any emotions in his words. It was as if he was not affected by my act of blacklisting Leanne’s number.
The anger in me subsided a little upon hearing that. I was relieved that he didn’t pay attention to Leanne.
An awkward silence filled the air because of the argument. Even after we had arrived at the Shaw residence, I still wasn’t exactly in a mood to talk to Michael. We were so quiet that Josephine instantly noticed the tension between us.
Michael spent the entire late evening in the study, and I decided to take a shower before hitting the sack. Before I stepped into the bathroom, Josephine knocked on the door and came into my room.
I was a little surprised to see Josephine in our bedroom because she seldom came to look for us when I was about to call it a night.
“Hey, Mom. What brings you here?” I gave her a puzzled look.
“Did something happen between you and Michael? I came to talk to you because I feel something’s amiss between you two. Did you argue with Michael?” Josephine looked straight into my eyes and asked anxiously.
At first, I didn’t want to tell Josephine our problem, but I wanted to know if she knew who Leanne was. “Mom, do you know Leanne Ryheim?”
I looked Josephine while looking into her eyes.
“Leanne? What’s wrong? Did something happen between Michael and her?”
A disgusted look flashed across Josephine’s eyes. She could not help but frown the moment she heard that name.
Based on her reaction, I deduced that Josephine knew who Leanne was. Oh well, even Michael’s mom knew who that woman was. She must have dated Michael for a long time.
“No, it’s just a random question. Earlier today, I found out Leanne was Michael’s ex-girlfriend. That made me a little uncomfortable, but I won’t take it out on Michael. Don’t worry,” I said.
I didn’t want Josephine to know that Michael and I had an argument while we were driving to the Shaw residence.
“I can’t believe that woman is back!” Josephine expressed her dismay.
