I washed the bowls and put them away while Michael sat at the dining table with his gaze locked on me.

Walking over to him, I stared at him. After a moment’s hesitation, I murmured, “Why don’t you drive me home now that we’d both had dinner?”

In truth, I didn’t want him to drive me home at all. Nonetheless, I didn’t want people to look at me speculatively either as I traversed the streets in his shirt.

“Did I say you’re allowed to leave tonight? Stay the night here and leave tomorrow.”

I initially thought he would agree to drive me home, but to my surprise, he wasn’t planning to let me leave at all.

“No. I still have to go to work tomorrow morning. Besides, I have something important to tell Natalie tonight.”

I must tell Natalie about my conversation with that scumbag, John Young, today. I won’t allow her to be hurt any further. That scumbag isn’t worthy of her love at all, so I’ve got to expose his true colors as soon as possible so that she won’t be fooled anymore!

“I’m also going to the office tomorrow, so I’ll drive you. As for whatever you want to tell Natalie, just tell her tomorrow night.”

Although I was anxious to tell Natalie about the matter, Michael wasn’t at all bothered, showing no signs of relenting.

Livid, I frowned and glared at him furiously. Jeez, he’s always so domineering, not allowing others an opportunity to decline at all!

“Michael Shaw!” I called out his name in frustration, wanting to argue further.

“That’s enough. Why are you in such a hurry when it’s not a matter of life and death?”

His gaze turned aggravated upon seeing that I was in such a hurry to leave, no doubt growing testy at my insistence.

“But I really have something very important to tell her!”

I looked at him anxiously, hoping that he would have a crisis of conscience and allow me to leave.
