Chapter 574 He Is Not My Kid
Leanne’s face lit up as she saw Michael, but I saw the hatred in her eyes the moment she realized I was next to him. “What are you doing here, Anna Garcia?” There was an interrogative tone in her voice.
“Why can’t I be here? My husband’s here, so isn’t it only natural that I’m with him? Are you mad that I’m interrupting your alone time with him?” My lips curved into a disdainful smirk upon seeing how infuriated she became, and I gazed at her frostily.
“You!” Leanne was no match for me whenever we argued. I was no pushover. She could probably eat me alive if we were only with Michael, but I would never back down if there were other people around like now.
“Why are you always so persistent, Anna? Why do you have to butt in every single time I meet Michael? Don’t you know how annoying you are?” the woman demanded in exasperation.
There were many couples enjoying their date here, and all of them turned to us with strange looks on their faces as they heard Leanne’s words.
With a slight frown, Michael shot them a glance, causing them to turn away hastily.
“Those words should be coming out of my mouth instead. You’re the one who can’t get over Michael, and you keep going after him. If you have the slightest bit of self-respect in you, you’d best not show up in front of Michael again,” I replied icily with no regard for the other patrons’ gazes. Leanne was the homewrecker here, after all; why should I have to care about what others think when I’d done nothing wrong?
“That’s enough. Let’s get down to business.”
Just as Leanne was about to respond, Michael finally jumped in while giving her an impatient look.
The three of us sat at a table. Seated next to Michael, I hugged his arm affectionately. The more furiously Leanne glared at me, the more ecstatic I felt.
Michael certainly noticed what I was doing. He always did, anyway. But instead of brushing me off, he even gave me a tender glance.
He no longer had feelings for Leanne, and that was why it didn’t matter to him if the way he looked at me hurt her.
The malice in Leanne’s eyes grew stronger, and I could see her trembling slightly.
“Leanne, I’m here to talk about the child,” Michael said coolly, breaking the silence.
His voice brought Leanne back to Earth, and her eyes sparkled in response.
“So, you’ve decided to come back to me and the child? You haven’t met him, have you? Let me take you to him.”
The woman couldn’t help but smile at the mention of the child, and there was nothing but joy in her eyes as she spoke.
Michael’s brows furrowed slightly. “Okay. Take me to him,” he answered coldly before getting up and heading outside immediately.
Meanwhile, Leanne glanced at me triumphantly. “Did you see that, Anna? I told you he’d come back to me one day!” she taunted.
Then, she strode out of the venue and caught up to Michael.
