Chapter 572 He Will Take Care Of This
“Are you sure you never slept with her? If what you’re saying is true, why did she let me see the child and say it’s yours? Leanne would never be this dumb, would she?”
I stared at Michael dismally, not knowing what on earth was going on. If he were telling the truth, there was no way Leanne would be so stupid as to claim a random boy as their child.
If Michael had never even touched her, there wouldn’t be a kid in the first place. What the hell was going on now, then? At that moment, I was completely lost. I didn’t know what was happening; all I felt was that there was something else behind the scenes.
“I’ll look into this, but I’ll make it clear to you—the boy isn’t mine.”
Michael spoke firmly as he gazed into my eyes, looking slightly frustrated. I furrowed my brows. Deep down, I knew I trusted him. I was just so confused as to what this was all about.
“Okay, fine. I believe you. Are you happy now?”
Michael was ticked off by my distrust toward him, and I could see the rage in his eyes when he looked at me.
“Am I that untrustworthy of a man to you, Anna?”
The man placed his hands on my shoulder as he stared at me unhappily.
Indeed, I was furious when I just came back until Michael explained things to me. I still felt a little doubtful after that, but I decided to believe him.
Hence, I felt slightly at fault for his anger. Sometimes, I would become so overcome by anger that I would lose my temper at him without thinking things through.
“I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean it. I was upset only because I care about you. Could you please just let this go?”
While speaking coquettishly, I threw myself into the man’s arms and wrapped myself around him.
It really was my fault today. I was too distrusting of him.
Although I knew that Michael only had feelings for me now, I couldn’t be sure how much he used to like Leanne. That was why I feared that the past would come between us one day.
“That’s it? You misunderstood me like that, but you’re not doing anything to make things up to me?”
Michael raised an eyebrow and continued to stare at me with displeasure. I must have angered him for real.
“What else should I do, then? I’ve apologized, no?” I asked dejectedly while gazing back at him.
I was really in the wrong today, but why was he being so petty? It wasn’t like I did it on purpose. I was mad only because he mattered so much to me.
“Since you’re aware that I never touched Leanne throughout the three years we were together, you should know how terrible it must have been for me. So, don’t you think you should do something to satisfy my needs?”
Right after he said that, I noticed the hint of lust in his eyes.
When Michael was done, he sprawled on top of me and panted heavily. Meanwhile, I no longer had a single ounce of strength left in me.
“Are you happy now?”
I pouted in response to the man’s question. I had no clue as to how he had so much energy for lovemaking.
“If you’re not satisfied, we can always go for another round,” added Michael as he gazed at me mischievously.
“No, it’s fine,” I hurriedly answered. “It’s getting late. Get some rest.”
The only thing I had in mind now was to sleep. If we were to have another round, we would only wrap up by midnight. I certainly wasn’t up for that.
“Are you sure? We hadn’t done it for such a long time. Is once really enough for you?”
The smile in his eyes grew wider as he deliberately drew circles on my chest as though trying to tempt me.
“Yes, I’m sure. Go to sleep. You haven’t taken care of things with Leanne. I was already kind enough to satisfy you once.”
I intentionally dropped Leanne’s name, hoping to ruin his mood so that he wouldn’t think of having another go.
I was already in a sour mood today, so I was already being benevolent to have satisfied him once. There wouldn’t be a second time.
