Chapter 364
“Fine. I'll compromise! Two meals, all right? Let go of me now! We'll get into an accident soon!”
For the sake of safety, Ronan finally gave in to his sister.
Since he had compromised, Gabriella then released him and got back to her seat.
I was envious when I looked at how the siblings were interacting with each other. Although they were bickering, I could tell that they were very close.
Ronan drove to the outskirts of the city. When we returned, it was already nighttime.
From the moment I saw Gabriella, I wanted to call Michael since I knew I had misunderstood him. At the same time, I realized that my words were too outrageous the other day.
Back in Natalie's home, I told her that I had met Gabriella, and I also told her that she was Michael's cousin.
Hearing that, Natalie looked at me helplessly. “I told you before that it might be a misunderstanding. Michael loves you so much, so how can he cheat on you? You always overthink things!”
I lowered my head in silence as guilt shrouded me. If I talked to Michael about the matter that day, I would not have wronged him. He must be very angry after I uttered those outrageous words that day.
We had not seen each other for a week, and he had neither called nor come to see me. I felt uneasy thinking about that.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
I said all those words because I felt betrayed that day. Those were not my true feelings.
For the first time, I felt a deep feeling of remorse. I was conflicted about how I should explain it to Michael.
Seeing that I sat on the couch without doing anything, Natalie patted my shoulder and urged, “Since you know that it was a misunderstanding now, why don't you call Michael to talk through it? Do you want to keep giving him the cold shoulder?”
I glanced at her and saw her nodding at me. After taking a deep breath, I took out my phone and walked into my room.
I searched for Michael's number, and I finally called him after hesitating for a long while.
While waiting for Michael to answer the call, I could feel my heart racing. I felt anxious knowing that I could finally hear his voice after not talking to him for so long.
Soon, Michael's voice came from the other end of the line. “So you're finally willing to call me. Are you not mad at me anymore?”
He sounded relaxed from his tone.
“If I didn't call you, are you not going to call me forever?”
I instantly felt aggrieved when I heard his voice.
When I thought of how I had stayed at Natalie's house for so many days but Michael did not even call me or come to see me, I felt extremely dejected.
“I thought you didn't want to see me? You chased me away that day.” Michael sounded so indifferent that I could not sense any emotions in his words.
Since he did not sound happy that I had called him, I felt utterly disappointed. I initially thought that he would be excited to answer my call.
“Fine. I told you to leave that day. So, don't appear in front of me again!”
I was infuriated by his attitude. Clearly, he was the one who had done something wrong, but I had to apologize to him. Even if I had misunderstood him, it was still his fault to discern the gender of the baby.
In a rage, I hung up the call because I regretted calling him. I felt like I was being shameless. He didn't even come to see me, so why did I call him?
As I got angrier, I threw the phone on the bed. Suddenly, I felt that Michael did not love me as much as I thought.
Then, I lay on the bed and covered my head with the blanket. The more I thought about it, the more irritated I got.
About twenty minutes later, I heard the doorbell, followed by the sound of the door opening.
“Where's Anna?”
I instantly recognized Michael's voice. Although I could not hear it clearly, I could easily recognize his voice because I was familiarized with it after being with him for so long.
My heart pounded uncontrollably when I was resisting the urge to run out to see him. I was sitting on the bed while I tried hard to ignore his voice.
“She's sulking in her room. Go and see her.”
Natalie told Michael that I was inside my room.
The sound of footsteps was getting louder, and I tried even harder to ignore it.
Soon, the door of my room was opened. As the footsteps got clearer, I knew that he had walked toward me.
I kept my eyes shut and did not look at him. I was still upset when I thought of his attitude on the phone just now.
“I haven't seen you for a week. Do you miss me?”
Michael looked at me as he sat on the edge of the bed. His lips curled into a smile.
I opened my eyes and glared at him. “No! I thought you were not going to talk to me? Why are you here then?”
“When did I say I wasn't going to talk to you? You're my woman. Do you think I'm going to let you stay
here forever?”
I knew that I had a poor attitude; however, he did not get mad at me. His tone was gentle as he raised an eyebrow.
“Then, what was that attitude on the phone? You sounded like you didn't want to talk to me. If you really think so, you should go now.”
I was a really stubborn person. Since he had a bad attitude earlier, I would not let it go so easily.
“All right. I admit that I had a bad attitude, but you were the one who chased me away that day. Don't be mad at me now. Let's go home.”
Michael pulled me up from the bed and hugged me tightly. His voice sounded soft and gentle.
Actually, I was no longer mad at him after I found out that the girl was Ronan's sister. After all, it was my fault for not trusting him, so both of us were at fault.
His flattery lifted my bad mood right away.
I sat up straight and warned, “If you dare speak to me like that again, I will not talk to you again!”
“All right. Everything's my fault. I promise I won't make you angry again in the future, and I won't let anything like that happen to the baby again. I made the mistake of not thinking about your feelings. Well, don't worry. I'll take care of the matter.”
Michael pulled me into his arms again as he addressed my concerns one by one. He looked at me dotingly, and his usual aloofness had completely disappeared.
