Chapter 361 New Lover
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.
Michael looked at me as the fury in his eyes was burning. “Anna, do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Of course, I do. You have a new lover, right? That’s why you didn’t come to see me in the past two days, and you didn’t even call me on the phone. You’ve been with your new lover, right?” I questioned coldly while enduring the sense of compulsion exuded by Michael.
“Is that what you’ve been thinking in the past two days?” Michael asked and raised his eyebrow. I initially thought that he would be mad at me, but he was not.
Then, he added, “Since you’re so worried about not being around me, you should go back with me. Stay by my side every day, so that I won’t have the time to see other women.”
A wicked smile appeared on Michael’s face as he stretched his arm to stroke my hair.
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?
With those thoughts, I became even more unhappy because I could not understand what he was thinking.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in me, I looked at Michael and asked calmly, “Michael, do you think I’m joking with you?”
“Anna, what do you want? I asked you to come with me, but you refused to. However, staying here made you worry that I might see other women. What do you actually want?”
Now that he had completely lost his patience, his tone was filled with coldness as he frowned.
“I don’t want to see you. Don’t come to see me again. You should just let your new lover keep you companied.”
My heart sank as I looked at Michael’s eyes. He had never treated me so impatiently in the past. Is it because he has a new lover now? Does he think that he’s wasting his time talking to me now?”
“Fine. As you wish, then!”
Since I had made him leave once again, Michael agreed coldly and turned around to leave.
Looking at his figure as he walked toward the elevator, tears started rolling down my cheeks. I did not understand how things had turned out like this. A few days ago, both of us were still deeply in love. Within several days, our happiness had shattered just like that.
“Michael, why are you-” Natalie saw Michael right after she got out of the elevator.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Michael got into the elevator and instantly pressed the button to shut the door.
With a frown, Natalie looked at the floor number which was changing. Later, when she walked toward me and saw the tears on my face, her eyebrows were clenched together tighter.
“Did Michael talk to you? How did the conversation turn out?”
Natalie pulled me inside and shut the door behind us.
“Nothing much. You saw that Michael left in anger. Natalie, I really think I’ve overestimated myself. Michael doesn’t love me as much as I thought.”
