“You know very well what kind of person you are. Michael, I just want to focus on my work now and accompany Amaury. If you don't want me to continue hating you, return my child to me. Otherwise, we'll forever be enemies!” I warned seriously as I stared straight into Michaels' eyes.

Actually, the reason I hated them was that they kept me away from Amaury for a year. If they took the initiative to let him come back to me, I would not have hated them like this.

“Will you return to my side as long as I give Amaury back to you? Will you stop opposing me like this?” Michael asked calmly after hearing what I said.

He met my gaze expressionlessly.

When I heard his offer, my heart skipped a beat. Naturally, I wanted to live together happily as a family. But can both of us really return to how we were in the past?

“Anna, as long as you agree to return to my side, you can be with Amaury every day,” added Michael seriously when he noticed my silence.

I frowned. This was a very tempting condition, but I could not overcome my emotional barrier. I could not make myself go back to him.

“I'll never be with you. If you let Amaury return to me, I'll leave with him and never appear in front of you again.” Gazing into his eyes, I replied solemnly.

It was possible for me to stop hating him, but I would never love him as much as I did a year ago.

“Run far away with Amaury? Do you think I'll agree if you want to take him away? Anna, you think I'm a fool!”

A frosty look crept into Michael's eyes. His eyes raged with fury when he glanced at me. Even his tone sounded grimmer.

“This is the most I can do. Don't force me, Michael. If you don't want both of us to become enemies, you have no choice but to agree. Otherwise, I'll never stop my actions!”

Looking at him, I knew that there was no more possibility for negotiation. I was starting to feel angry too. After all, I was the one who gave birth to Amaury, yet the Shaws forced me to part with him. Now, all I wanted to do was to get Amaury back. That was not an excessive request, but they insisted on stopping me. I could not understand why it was so difficult for me to live with my child!

I would be lying if I said I did not hate them. For the past year, I kept dreaming of destroying the Shaw family and having Amaury back.

Michael's abilities were beyond my expectations. Initially, I was very confident. However, after going up against him for so many days, I realized I had a long way to go before I could become stronger than him.

“Let's talk about it after you've reached your goal!”

Michael snorted coldly. Not saying another word, he strode away.

I watched his back, feeling furious and resentful. He was a person who could not be persuaded no matter what. Is there no other way to keep Amaury with me other than to return to his side and continue being his woman?

Clenching my fists, I was unwilling to give up like that or to admit defeat. Regardless of whether I could defeat him, I would never give up. At the very least, there was still a glimmer of hope now.

I took a deep breath and kept reminding myself not to relent. No matter what happens, I must never give up.

It was a sleepless night. Due to my previous conversation with Michael, I kept feeling uneasy. I started to worry about whether the budget for the project would be like what Michael warned about.

When I left the house in the morning, I saw Nicholas' car parked underneath. I could not help but frown. My mood was already quite bad. It became worse after I saw him.

“Anna.”

There was a faint smile on Nicholas' face. He waved his hands and greeted me.

When I remembered what he did to me a few days ago, I still felt lingering fear. Hence, I did not want to be overly involved with him.

Ignoring him, I walked past his car to drive my car. However, he strode over briskly and blocked my path.

“Anna, are you still angry over that incident? Are you not planning to forgive me?” asked Nicholas softly as he stood in front of me and looked down at me.
