When Michael mentioned the child's issue, I let out a sigh. I was still upset about it, but he had promised me that it would not happen again. If I did not move on from it, the issue would certainly ruin our relationship.
Hence, I decide to let it pass. However, I was also determined to not let such a thing happen again in the future.
Looking into his eyes, I said in a serious manner, “Michael, I just hope that our child will live a happy life. I don't care about anything else.”
“It won't happen again,” Michael replied firmly and held my hand tightly.
Since I had decided to forgive him, I had no reason to stay at Natalie's place. Recently, she did not have the time to go out to see Yuval because of me.
I had even ruined their date the other day, and that made me feel extremely guilty. After all, both of them were in their honeymoon phase, so they would certainly feel uncomfortable with me disturbing them for so long.
“All right. The misunderstanding between you two is finally resolved!”
Natalie let a sigh of relief when she saw me in Michael's arm.
“I think you've been waiting for me to leave. Your darling hasn't come for a few days ever since I stayed here. Did I disturb both of you?”
Although Natalie did not say anything, I could sense it myself. She had been on the phone with Yuval every night these past few days. They were clearly madly in love now.
However, thinking about it, I realized that Michael and I always had short phone calls. He would always hang up on me before I could even finish speaking. I felt aggrieved by that thought.
Upon hearing my accusation, Natalie refuted, “When did I do that? You have stayed here for so many days, but when did I urge you to leave? You're so heartless!”
However, I knew that she could not wait to see Yuval, after not being able to see him for some time.
Then, I pouted and joked, “I know that someone has been hiding in the blanket to talk on the phone.”
Natalie was just too shy to admit that she wanted to see Yuval.
“All right! Since you both have reconciled, hurry up and go home with Michael. Since you haven't seen him for so many days, I think you'll need your hubby's consolation.”
Natalie raised an eyebrow, and I certainly understood what she meant.
I could not believe she had said that in front of Michael so shamelessly. How does Yuval who is such a mature man deal with her?
“Fine. We'll go now. After I leave, you should go on a date with your darling.”
Deep down, I felt guilty because Natalie had canceled her dates with Yuval just to console me.
Sitting in Michael's car, we did not know what to say even though we had reconciled.
Michael then broke the silence. “Why? It has only been a few days. Are you feeling distant from me now?”
His voice sounded calm, but I could tell that he was in a good mood.
“I don't know what I should say. Also, I don't want to talk to you now.”
While pondering with a frown, I decided to keep quiet because I could not find anything to say.
Right at that moment, Michael slammed on the brakes and turned to look at me. “You don't know what to say, or you don't want to talk to me?”
