As much as I was against the idea, he was the only one I could rely on until Steven regained his ability to walk. Pursing my lips, I lost myself in a train of thoughts.

Michael broke the silence and repeated himself, “You need to make up your mind soon because you’re running out of time.”

I was certain I was about to get on his nerves for real after remaining silent for such a long time. I looked at him and asked in return, “Before I give you my answer, can you answer a query of mine first?”

Michael stood upright and asked with a straight face, “What is it?”

“Of all the women available, why me? Why have you chosen to stay in touch with me when you can get someone else for the role?”

Michael was surrounded by a bunch of exceptional women. More often than not, many of them would try to hit on him, but he had never once taken them seriously.

Truth be told, I was way more inferior to those exceptional women who tried to hit on him. Thus, I couldn’t figure out the reason why he would dismiss others without a second thought, and instead, chose to maintain a relationship with me.

Smirking while staring at me in the eyes, he remarked sarcastically, “Will you believe me if I tell you it’s just because of your amazing skills in bed?”

I felt a strong urge to throw the pillow I had with me in his direction when I heard his reply.

Has he no shame at all? Is sex all he ever thinks about?

Irked by his remarks, I shot daggers at him and asked, “Michael, can you take this seriously and tell me the truth?”

“What? Are you saying that I lied to you? I am serious and I have told you the truth,” he asserted in all seriousness.

I would have been deceived by him if it weren’t because I knew it was just one of his many attempts to pull my leg.
