Chapter 308 Insult
Feeling incredibly touched, I was on the brink of tears. I lifted my head slightly, trying not to lose myself in front of Michael.
“I know that you don’t lack money, but you know my parents’ personalities well, right? If you give them the money this time, they’ll definitely ask for more in the future. I don’t want my family to burden you.” I was very insistent with my point, unwilling to give in.
Hearing that, Michael turned to look at me. I instantly noticed the surprise in his eyes. Perhaps he had never expected me to make that decision. After all, I was always the one to compromise every time something happened with my family. I knew that Michael would be surprised upon seeing how determined I was this time.
“All right. I’ll listen to you.” Michael stopped insisting.
After we were together, there were several times I became the one to make decisions, and Michael would always respect my choices.
The next day, Michael sent two hundred thousand to my parents’ place. I did not tag along as I did not want to argue with them anymore. As soon as he came back, I tried to ask him about the situation, but he dismissed the topic readily. Although he did not show any emotion on his face, I was very sure that my parents had not treated him pleasantly.
Michael had always acted all high and mighty. Everyone around him treated him with respect, but my parents were rude to him. For an arrogant man like him to endure and tolerate them must be hard.
There were still three days left until our wedding. I was feeling excited and nervous at the same time. I could not help but look forward to it. In three days, I can finally stay with Michael forever.
Michael prepared and settled everything for the wedding ceremony on his own. He even looked for someone in Pillere to custom-tailor my wedding gown. Our wedding would surely be unable to compare to Emma’s, but Michael was putting a lot of heart into it.
I would be moving to Michael’s mansion after our marriage. Hence, he asked me to go and take a look at his place.
He had some matters to handle in the company, so I hailed a taxi to his place alone. In all honesty, I liked our tiny house better compared to his spacious mansion, as our house felt much warmer. Moreover, the furnishings in his house was black and white. That color scheme made the place look even colder.
I paced back and forth in the living room, thinking of ways to make the space feel warmer.
Sitting on the couch with my legs on the coffee table, I fell asleep shortly after, which might have been due to my pregnancy.
Suddenly, I woke up to the sound of someone coughing. As I opened my eyes in a daze, Josephine’s face appeared in front of me. My heart instantly dropped.
Am I hallucinating? Why is she here? I must be dreaming. I tried to comfort myself internally. However, I could not help but stand up straight in the next second. Right then, I finally regained my senses. Josephine was, indeed, looking at me right in front of me.
“Mrs. Shaw, what brings you here?”
