Chapter 550 That Was Just His Friend
I had been thinking a lot about it last night. I knew it would hurt me deeply if he really cheated on me, but I wasn’t going to just put up with it. As much as I loved Michael, I couldn’t accept being in an impure relationship with him at all.
Michael tensed up on hearing what I said. There was a hint of anger in his eyes when he stared at me and shouted, “Anna! Do you know what you’re saying?”
I took a deep breath to calm myself down, looked Michael straight in the eye, and replied coldly, “I know exactly what I’m saying. If you’re cheating on me with another woman, then I will no longer be able to stay in a relationship with you. I’m a selfish person, Michael. I can’t stand my man keeping another woman company all night like that!”
I know that I’m being petty, and that I already have a child with Michael. My child and I will possibly suffer being separated once again if I leave him, but I can’t stand my man being with another woman! This pain is far too much for me!
“Since when did I say I was cheating on you? I can’t believe you’re talking about leaving me when you didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself!”
Michael looked me in the eye and sounded particularly stern when he said that.
“Explain? What else is there to explain? You have spent two nights with that woman! Do I need to know the details of what you two did just to prove my point?”
I found his statement somewhat laughable as the events from the past two days should have been more than enough proof. I believed in what I saw as well as the information that Ronan provided me with.
“I’m not cheating on you. The woman at the hospital is a friend of mine who has just recently returned from overseas. Because I’m her only friend in this country, I had to look after her for a bit,” Michael said seriously while looking straight at me.
“That woman is your friend? Are you sure there isn’t anything going on between you two?”
His explanation provided me with a glimmer of hope, but I was still plagued with doubt and disbelief at the moment.
“Since when have I ever lied to you? Don’t you trust me anymore?”
Michael frowned in displeasure when he saw the look of doubt in my eyes.
“If that’s the case, will you take me to go see her?”
Michael never did lie to me ever since we got together, but I was still feeling incredibly insecure. For some reason, I suddenly felt really scared of losing him.
Michael simply furrowed his brows and stared at me in silence after hearing my request.
“What’s the matter? You can’t bring yourself to do it? How do you expect me to believe you if you won’t even let me see her?”
I was extremely disappointed by Michael’s response.
He told me that woman is just a friend of his, and yet he won’t let me see her at the hospital? How am I supposed to not feel suspicious? If they really are just friends, why didn’t he tell me about her condition requiring care and support? I may be petty, but I would at least be understanding toward his friends!
“All right, I’ll take you to see her if you want to.” Michael agreed to my request after a long pause, much to my relief.
I couldn’t imagine how upset I would get if he refused to do so. After all, it was the only way left for me to clear my suspicions toward him.
“When do we head over?”
I was really eager to meet the woman and confirm her relationship with Michael. Although he had already explained it to me, I still couldn’t shake the feeling of unease in my heart.
Michael shot me a glance and replied calmly, “In the afternoon. You look really exhausted, so you should get some rest for now. We’ll head over together in the afternoon.”
I knew I looked terrible because I stayed up all night. Although I really wanted to see that woman right away, I didn’t object to Michael’s suggestion since he already agreed to take me there.
Just like that, the two of us lay down in bed without saying another word. Michael had wanted to hug me to sleep, but I refused to let him do so until I have confirmed his relationship with that woman.
Despite me having my back turned toward him, I found myself falling asleep fairly quickly because he was next to me.
After waking up in the afternoon, I took some time to do my makeup and dress up nicely. Regardless of whether the woman was having an inappropriate relationship with Michael, I was determined to look better than her.
Still feeling awfully nervous on our way to the hospital, I tried looking out the car window to hide my emotions.
The atmosphere in the car was really tense. After what seemed like forever, Michael decided to break the silence and said, “I know I have neglected you because I was too busy in the past few days, and I know you’re in a bad mood because of it. I’ll take some time off work after a few days and take you on a vacation.”
“That won’t be necessary. My time is just as precious, and I have a ton of stuff to take care of at work too.”
I refused his offer without any hesitation. Even if he didn’t cheat on me, I was extremely unhappy with his cold attitude toward me in the past two days, and I wasn’t about to just forgive him so easily.
“Are you still mad at me?”
Michael let out a helpless sigh and turned to look at me seriously.
“Am I not supposed to be mad? Do you expect me to be happy after how cold you’ve been toward me lately?” I snapped back at him impatiently.
Honestly, what the heck is wrong with him? Can’t he tell that I’m very angry at him? Also, why didn’t he tell me that they were just friends until I confronted him about it today? I don’t understand what he thinks at all!
Michael looked me in the eye and said after a brief pause, “I’m sorry about what happened in the past few days. It won’t happen again in the future.”
