“Bah! How can you be certain that he can get it up when you’ve never slept with him? Although he appears manly, it’s difficult to say when it comes to such a thing.”

Even after I had insisted otherwise, Millie didn’t pay it the slightest mind. At that moment, she truly felt that Michael couldn’t get it up.

Heaving a sigh, I zipped my mouth shut, knowing that she would definitely suspect something if I were to continue defending Michael. I didn’t want her to know about my relationship with him.

After working the entire day, I went to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables when I got off work. Then, I went back to Birchwood and started preparing dinner.

While I was cooking, Natalie phoned and asked where I had been in the past two nights. She asked whether I had stayed overnight at the hospital, and I answered her truthfully, telling her that I had been at Michael’s place.

Shocked, she kept quizzing me about my relationship with Michael. Nonetheless, I merely gave her a perfunctory reply and promised to explain things to her the next day.

By the time I was done preparing dinner, Michael had already returned. As he gazed at the dishes I cooked, satisfaction manifested on his handsome countenance.

“Since you’re home, wash your hands and eat,” I urged mildly, staring at the man who had taken a seat on the couch.

After washing his hands, Michael sat down across from me and started eating elegantly. Meanwhile, I kept my gaze on his alluring face. When I abruptly recalled Millie’s speculation earlier, a bark of laughter escaped me.

At my gaffe, Michael lifted his head and stared at me with a deep frown marring his face. “Why are you laughing, Anna?”

Ever since we arrived at the office that morning, I had been angering him time and again. Irked with me in the first place, his expression darkened further upon seeing me laughing at him.

“It’s nothing. I just thought of something funny,” I answered placidly.

Stifling my laughter, I kept my eyes trained on his as I tried my best to feign indifference.
