Chapter 272 I Will Be Gentle
The doorknob turned, and the bedroom door gradually opened.
I raised the mug up high and smashed it down on the intruder, aiming it at his head. Only by knocking the wind out of him could I create an opportunity to escape.
Unfortunately, I had overestimated myself. Before I could strike, the intruder caught my hand. The latter twisted my wrist, and the mug dropped onto the ground and shattered.
I couldn’t help but cry out in pain at the tight grip on my hand.
“Anna!”
I was struggling to free myself when I heard a familiar voice and looked back.
Seeing that it was Michael, I heaved a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, I was surprised to see him there.
“Michael, what are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes widened.
“Anna, are you trying to kill your husband by hiding behind the door?”
Furrowing his eyebrows, Michael glanced at the broken mug before giving me a look of displeasure.
The moment I heard the word “husband,” I blushed. Given how casual his tone was compared to the day, I figured he was no longer angry at me.
However, I was still mad at the fact that he snuck into the house in the middle of the night and gave me a fright.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I thought you were an intruder.”
Glaring at him as if it was his fault, I cursed him in my heart for almost scaring me to death.
“Do you think I look like one?”
Michael cocked an eyebrow and smirked faintly. I couldn’t help but be mesmerized. After all, a long time had passed since I saw that look.
His attempt to hide his smile caused my heart to skip a beat. It had only been two months, but it felt as if I hadn’t seen him smile in ages.
“Still, you scared me.” I rolled my eyes at him. “By the way, why are you here in the middle of the night?”
It was midnight, and I was curious as to what he was doing at my place. Furthermore, he seemed to be acting differently compared to earlier in the day.
“Am I not allowed to see my own girl?”
Releasing the grip on my hand, he gave me a tug and pulled me into his arms. His movements were so smooth that I found myself in his embrace before I realized what was going on.
When he called me his girl, my cheeks reddened.
Michael was someone who expressed his possessiveness all the time. Even when both of us broke up, he would still see me as his girl. And this time was no different.
I had resented it before, but now, I couldn’t help but shudder at those words.
