Chapter 571 I Have Never Slept With Her
I was alone in my bedroom, feeling terribly disturbed. I did not know how to ask Michael about this matter, as I was afraid that the answer he gave would be unacceptable to me. I really could not accept any replies that would be damaging to our relationship.
In the evening, when Michael came home, he saw me walking to and fro in our bedroom. His handsome brows knitted and he looked at me with a puzzled expression. “What’s the matter? Are you ill?”
Michael put down his attaché case and walked up to me, looking at me with concern in his eyes. Looking at his handsome face, I was reminded of the child Leanne wanted me to meet; instinctively, I pushed him away.
“Why are you acting crazy again? Are you having another episode?” My moods have been weird lately and when Michael saw me acting this way, he became angry quite obviously. “Michael, there is something I want to talk to you about.”
If he lost his temper with me for no reason, I would definitely be angry, but now I was not in the mood to disagree with him over anything. What I cared about was the problem with Melvin, and what concerned me was the question of the child Leanne had with him.
Michael could see that I was serious, so he did not say anything else even though he was angry. He looked into my eyes and asked quietly,” What’s it about?”
I looked him squarely in the eyes, and asked him in a serious tone, “Have you ever slept with Leanne?”
Presumably, he did not expect such a question. Michael was at first surprised, and then, angry.
“Anna Garcia, will you stop harping on that? Leanne has disappeared from our lives, lately. Why do you keep talking constantly about what happened in the past between her and me? What’s the use in questioning that?”
Michael’s brows were knitted tight and he looked at me with displeasure in his gaze which I could discern. He was really upset with the question I asked.
“I am not harping about that, am I? Now, between the two of you, there is suddenly an extra child. Shouldn’t I figure out what’s going on? My man has an illegitimate child with his ex-girlfriend, and I only found that out only today. Do you know what a huge blow that is to me?”
At his words, I replied in a voice choked with emotion. At the same time, my eyes were blurry with tears, and my heart was broken into fragments.
I do not know why things turned out this way, or why our relationship was always under threat. In fact, I was also a very possessive woman, so when I thought about my man once making love with other women in bed, my heart ached as if being squeezed tightly by someone’s hand.
“Child? What child?”
Michael had detected the main point in my words. Looking me directly in the eyes, he asked in a serious tone.
“Leanne met me today. She showed me the child you two had. It’s a boy, about five or six years old. Michael Shaw, you owe me an explanation.”
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm down, as I looked into Michael’s eyes and questioned him in a cold voice.
This was no trivial matter for the both of us. I believed that Michael owed me an explanation. The sudden appearance of an Illegitimate child was a threat to our relationship.
