I breathed heavily and looked upon Michael with displeasure. The time was exceeded by just that teeny bit, so was it necessary to be this calculative?

His unhappiness with the situation surrounding Ronan was understandable, but this? I was not in the wrong so I was not going to apologize for it.

“You are increasingly demonstrating your disregard for me, Anna.”

He spoke casually while he eyeballed me dispassionately. However, that still managed to make me feel enormously pressurized and fearful even when nothing had been done anything to me yet.

Meeting his gaze, I could not stand the way he looked at me. No one could understand how it felt to be misunderstood and distrusted by someone one loved.

“What do you want me to say, Michael? What will it take for you to believe that there’s nothing between Ronan and me?”

It might be that Michael was bothered by the things Ronan said, but the crux of the issue was that he still did not trust me.

“Ronan is a serial playboy, so you’d do well to steer clear of him,” Michael said after he took one glance at me.

I could sense the simmering rage which he had been keeping in check, but I could not, for the life of me, figure out why he was acting out of character today. On any other occasion, he would have told me outright that I was his woman and ordered that I keep other men at arms’ length. But not today.

Perhaps it was in consideration of his cousin’s position that he did not say that to my face.

“Ronan’s your cousin…” I reminded him of that in my squeaky voice—not in the defense of Ronan, but out of a feeling that there were no similarities between them.

“That guy’s always canoodling around beautiful women and never one to turn any away. Describing him as such is already putting it mildly,” Michael snorted.
