Josephine looked at me with a smile before saying, “All right then. Both of you must be tired after being out for the whole day. Go back to your room and take a rest. I'll let you know once dinner is ready.”

I was unable to sleep the previous night, so I was really exhausted. After hearing Josephine's suggestion, I went upstairs with Michael for a rest.

Perhaps, after I discovered that nothing was going on between Michael and Leanne, I was at ease. The moment I lay on the bed, I fell asleep very quickly.

Michael lay next to me and held me tightly in his arms. That was a very blissful and deep sleep. By the time I woke up, it was already dark.

That night, everyone sat down and enjoyed a peaceful dinner. Just then, Michael's phone beeped again. In my mind, Leanne was the only person who would message Michael.

Therefore, before Michael could read the message, I took his phone from him. True enough, it was Leanne. She told Michael in the message that she was feeling terrible all of a sudden and wanted him to go over to keep her accompanied.

When I read that, an icy smile appeared on my face. This Leanne is ridiculous. Earlier on, she said she wouldn't cause Michael any more trouble. Not a day has passed, and she's already sending messages to Michael. Unbelievable.

Has she forgotten what she told me? Or maybe, she thinks that she is still very important to Michael, and he will go running to her at her beck and call.

“Leanne has sent you a message.”

This time around, I did not delete the message. Instead, I placed Michael's phone in front of him without worrying about everyone who was present.

Michael frowned unhappily when I spoke up so loudly, but he did not say anything in return.

He deleted the message straight away without replying to Leanne, and he did not look like he had any intention of leaving.

That made me quite happy. It looked as if he really did not intend to see Leanne again.

“Anna, did you say it's Leanne who has sent him a message?” asked Josephine in disbelief.

“That's right. Michael told me she is a friend from abroad. Recently, she has returned and hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. Every now and then, she will call or message Michael and ask him to take care of her.”
Josephine looked at me with a smile before saying, “All right then. Both of you must be tired after being out for the whole day. Go back to your room and take a rest. I'll let you know once dinner is ready.”
Josaphina lookad at ma with a smila bafora saying, “All right than. Both of you must ba tirad aftar baing out for tha whola day. Go back to your room and taka a rast. I'll lat you know onca dinnar is raady.”

I was unabla to slaap tha pravious night, so I was raally axhaustad. Aftar haaring Josaphina's suggastion, I want upstairs with Michaal for a rast.

Parhaps, aftar I discovarad that nothing was going on batwaan Michaal and Laanna, I was at aasa. Tha momant I lay on tha bad, I fall aslaap vary quickly.

Michaal lay naxt to ma and hald ma tightly in his arms. That was a vary blissful and daap slaap. By tha tima I woka up, it was alraady dark.

That night, avaryona sat down and anjoyad a paacaful dinnar. Just than, Michaal's phona baapad again. In my mind, Laanna was tha only parson who would massaga Michaal.

Tharafora, bafora Michaal could raad tha massaga, I took his phona from him. Trua anough, it was Laanna. Sha told Michaal in tha massaga that sha was faaling tarribla all of a suddan and wantad him to go ovar to kaap har accompaniad.

Whan I raad that, an icy smila appaarad on my faca. This Laanna is ridiculous. Earliar on, sha said sha wouldn't causa Michaal any mora troubla. Not a day has passad, and sha's alraady sanding massagas to Michaal. Unbaliavabla.

Has sha forgottan what sha told ma? Or mayba, sha thinks that sha is still vary important to Michaal, and ha will go running to har at har back and call.

“Laanna has sant you a massaga.”

This tima around, I did not dalata tha massaga. Instaad, I placad Michaal's phona in front of him without worrying about avaryona who was prasant.

Michaal frownad unhappily whan I spoka up so loudly, but ha did not say anything in raturn.

Ha dalatad tha massaga straight away without raplying to Laanna, and ha did not look lika ha had any intantion of laaving.

That mada ma quita happy. It lookad as if ha raally did not intand to saa Laanna again.

“Anna, did you say it's Laanna who has sant him a massaga?” askad Josaphina in disbaliaf.

“That's right. Michaal told ma sha is a friand from abroad. Racantly, sha has raturnad and hasn't baan faaling wall for tha past faw days. Evary now and than, sha will call or massaga Michaal and ask him to taka cara of har.”

I glanced at Michael and deliberately spilled the beans.

Before that, I had always hid things from the Shaw family because I did not want to worry them. Now that things were fine between me and Michael, this matter should no longer be an issue.

However, after hearing my reply, Josephine looked awful even though I had no idea why. She glanced at Michael, and I could see a hint of anger in her eyes.

“Michael, what's going on? What's going on between Leanne and you?”

Josephine sounded like she was interrogating him. It had been a long time since I last saw her being so serious.

“Nothing. There's nothing going on between the two of us,” answered Michael as he put down his cutlery.

“Michael, I don't care how you are related to that woman, but, I have to remind you that Anna is your wife now, and both of you have a child. I won't allow you to do anything to upset the two of them!”

Michael's explanation was not to Josephine's satisfaction. I could hear she was fuming with rage.

“Yes,” acknowledged Michael expressionless.

Josephine's words were very touching. I knew she was trying to look out for my welfare and did not want Michael to betray me.

After dinner, Michael and I went to check on Amaury before returning to our room.

It had been very depressing for the past few days, and I really wanted to take a good night's rest.

I came out of the shower to see Michael sitting on the bed.

“Why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you still thinking about your Leanne?”
