“Be more careful for the next two days. Always keep the wound dry and clean.”
My jaw was still hanging in astonishment, reliving his tenderness in my head.
“Anna, have you turned mute?” he blurted with a frown from my non-responsiveness.
When I finally got back to my senses, his face was already only an inch away from mine. I nervously drew my focus back onto the chopping board.
After that, Michael went back to the living room, and about half an hour later, dinner was ready.
It was simple cooking and not the best, I must say. It did make me wonder why Michael always came here for dinner.
To be frank, I believed that his housekeeper would’ve made something way better than what I could offer.
We sat across from each other and started eating away. Should I ask him about what Mom told me?
“Did you give my parents the money?”
I let it out as this question had been bothering me the entire day.
I didn’t mind getting on his nerves again anyway, as I’d done that way too many times.
“News travels fast, doesn’t it?”
He wasn’t surprised and continued chewing his food graciously as if he had nothing to do with the money.
“So it really is you. Why did you send my family a hundred thousand out of the blue?”
I put down my fork and looked at him, confused.
“I remember that you said that it was exhausting to support the whole family. Since now you’re my woman, things will change. I can send your family a hundred thousand every month,” he haughtily suggested.
Everything became crystal clear to me right then. He sent them money because he deduced that whatever I said that night was a hint for him to give me more?
