I didn’t shy away from Michael’s gaze. Even though his terrifying aura scared me, I refused to yield.
“I’ll prove to you that the little lawyer doesn’t deserve your affection.”
As soon as he said that, he turned around and left.
After leaving the office, I dropped by the supermarket to buy some groceries before going back to the house in Birchwood.
Back home, I washed my hands and started cooking dinner. Due to being used to living with Natalie, I cooked two portions of dinner out of habit. As I sat at the dining table and stared at the amount of food, my heart clenched painfully.
Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stop thinking about anything upsetting and picked up the cutlery to dig into my food. Just then, the sound of the door opening reached my ears. Stunned, I whipped my head toward the door.
Feeling scared was inevitable when I was living alone in a house, especially during the night. After all, there were many cases of breaking and entering, as well as young women being attacked in their own homes.
I was born with a wild imagination, so I felt somewhat nervous at that moment.
But when I saw Michael appearing through the door, I exhaled in relief.
