Michael continued to gaze at me nonchalantly in silence. There were not any hints of emotion in his eyes. I could not resist wondering if he believed in my words.

My heart was pounding hard; my mind turned into mush. What if he came back to break up with me? As Michael continued to gaze at me without uttering any words, my lips tightened into a thin line.

“Anna Garcia, I wonder when you will start to think wisely with your brain!” Michael finally spoke after a long while. I scratched my head in perplex, unable to understand what he actually meant.
