I really wanted to ask him. Why are you here? Why didn't you spend time with your new lover?
However, I did not want to be so straightforward. I was afraid that once I confronted him, things would turn ugly. I knew that my thoughts had put me in a lowly position, but my love for Michael was much deeper than I had expected.
Initially, I thought that I could never accept betrayal. If Michael ever cheated on me, I would leave him non-hesitantly. However, I was still in a dilemma now. I did not want to be separated from him.
“Betrayed? Anna, what's wrong with you today?”
After I interrogated him agitatedly, Michael clearly became impatient. His beautiful eyebrows were knitted together as fury filled his eyes.
“Yes. Something is wrong with me. Michael, do you know what I regret the most? It's falling in love with you!”
I was betrayed once when I was with Justin back then. Even then, that scene remained vivid in my mind. The thing I was afraid of the most was enduring betrayal again. I thought that Michael would not do such cruel things to me. However, I realized that I was overestimating myself and also Michael.
My words were uttered out of fury. That was because I felt aggrieved, and I wanted to vent my anger.
Upon hearing my words, Michael's face fell. His eyes were burning with rage as he stared at me. The next moment, he strode toward me in wide steps before he placed his hands on my shoulders and kissed me.
Feeling the warmth on his lips, I was so shocked that my eyes widened. I did not expect him to kiss me so abruptly.
Michael's kiss had a magical effect on me. When I was in bad mood, all the bad emotions in me would disappear right after his lips touched mine. My consciousness almost deserted me.
However, the scene of him chatting and laughing with another woman flooded my mind again. After I returned to my senses, I pushed Michael away and wiped my lips violently, trying to remove his scent from them.
He probably did not expect me to push him away like that. Michael was stunned for a moment before his eyes began to fill with more anger. “Anna, what the hell is wrong with you today? I've apologized to you. What else do you want from me?”
He was glaring at me while his tone was filled with impatience.
“I don't want anything. I just don't want to see you. Please don't show up in front of me!”
I tried to suppress the sadness in me while looking into Michael's eyes.
I wished I could ask him if he truly loved me and if I was the only one he loved. However, the scene that I witnessed was still vivid in my mind. I would be humiliating myself if I asked him those questions right now.
Michael seemed to have completely lost his patience. He strode toward me while staring at my eyes and announced domineeringly, “You don't want to see me? Anna, you're my woman!”
“Maybe I won't be your woman anymore someday? It must be easy for a big shot like you to find another woman, right? If you get bored of me one day and want to dump me, please inform me in advance!”
I took a deep breath to try to suppress the pain in me. I did not want to embarrass myself in front of Michael. He was clearly the one who was wrong, so I did not want to look sad.
Yet, his words made me stunned, and I could not even react. Am I losing my mind? Or has he lost his mind? Shouldn't he feel guilty now? Why is he reacting like this? I've certainly made myself clear. Is he pretending to not understand me now?
