Chapter 356

“Anna!” Michael shouted as he stared at me. His beautiful brows were frowning. He was furious uponseeing how emotional I was.

As I stared into his eyes, I noticed a glint of dissatisfaction in his sharp gaze.

I let out a sarcastic laugh without saying anything. The next second, I opened the door and got out ofthe car. I did not want to spend another second around Michael. He had utterly disappointed me.

As soon as I got out of the car, Michael caught up to me. He shouted my name along the way, but Iignored him and strode forward.

“Where are you going?” Suddenly, he reached out to grab my arm. His tone was full of rage andimpatience.

That was the first time Michael got angry with me. He had never spoken to me in that tone before.Upon hearing that, my heart grew heavier.

“I don't want to see you now. I need some time alone.” I lowered my head, avoiding his eyes. Then, Istruggled with all my might to break free from his grip.

Before I managed to leave, Michael grabbed my arm hard again. It seemed like he did not plan to letme go. “Where do you want to go at such a late hour? You're pregnant. What if something dangeroushappens to you?”

“Are you worried about me because my baby is a boy? Would you still care about us if she happenedto be a girl? If she were a girl, nothing would matter to you anymore, right?” I questioned with an icy

tone. That was the only thing I could think about right then.

“Anna, you're being unreasonable!” Michael's face turned grim upon hearing my words. He was so madthat his chest rose and fell with heavy breaths.

If it were before, I would never have the audacity to retort him. However, I was not afraid at all now.Anger was the only emotion in my heart.

“Unreasonable? Well. I guess so!” I broke into a self-deprecating laugh and struggled to break freefrom him again. “Stop following me. I want to be alone right now. Don't worry. I'll protect the heir of yourfamily well.”

I looked at him mockingly as I finished my sentence. Finally, I strode away without sparing him anotherglance.

I felt like a swinging bachelorette without Michael by my side. My parents had gone back to theirhometown, so I had nowhere to go then.

Other than Michael, Natalie was the only person in town who could make me feel safe. She was myonly sincere friend. No matter what happened to me, she would always be on my side.

Finally, Michael gave up on stopping me. However, he followed me around slowly with his car. I knewthat he was there, but I ignored his presence.

I knocked on the door as soon as I arrived at Natalie's house. After a long time, she finally opened thedoor. Her clothes were messy, and her face was blushing unnaturally.

“Anna, what brought you here at this hour?” Natalie widened her eyes in astonishment. There waspanic in her eyes too.

“I'm just in a bad mood. Can I stay at your place tonight?” I looked at Natalie with grief written all overmy face. Then, I took a step forward to walk into her house.

Surprisingly, Natalie looked a little reluctant. She stood still at the entrance, trying to stop me fromentering.

“What's wrong? Do you not welcome me? Can't you take me in tonight?”

I felt strange as Natalie was always happy to let me stay over. Seeing her reaction, I felt even moredepressed.

“N-No. It's just that...” She chuckled awkwardly before continuing, “It's inappropriate for me to let you inright now. My house is a little messy.”

Her gaze shifted unnaturally as she said that.

“Why should you worry about that? We've known each other for so many years. I'm sure I have seenworse. Well, I'm going in now. I'm so tired.” I pushed Natalie away and walked into her house withouthesitance.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I was shocked. There was a man in her house. That manlooked a little panicked when he got out of the bedroom. He was not wearing shoes, and there werewrinkles on his shirt.

I was experienced enough to read such a situation, so I instantly realized what was going on. I widenedmy eyes in disbelief as I looked at Yuval. “Y-You guys...”

Natalie rushed over to the living room right then. I pointed at both of them with my mouth agape. I wasso shocked that I could not say anything in that position.

A second later, I finally realized the reason why Natalie was reluctant to let me in just now. It turned outthat Yuval was here. Moreover, it seemed like they were doing something intimate. Oh my. I've come atthe wrong time. I shouldn't have disturbed them when things were getting steamy.

Three of us exchanged glances without saying anything. There was an awkward silence in the livingroom, and Yuval did not even dare to lift his head after seeing me.

I guessed I was the most awkward person in the room since I was the one ruining their intimatesession. Suddenly, I began to hesitate. Should I leave now so they can continue what they were doing?

“Um, I guess I had come at the wrong time. How about I take my leave now? Natalie, I will visit yousome other day,” I uttered awkwardly.

Just when I was about to leave, Yuval stopped me. “There's no need for that. I just recalled that I stillhave some urgent cases on hand. I'll take my leave now. Have fun.”

He was too embarrassed to even glance at me. As soon as he finished his sentence, he walked out ofthe door in a miserable state.

I turned to look at Natalie after Yuval left. She was still blushing.

I did not expect to see Natalie dating Yuval. Moreover, I could not believe that they had already gonethat far.

“Um, I guess I've shown up at a bad time.” I broke the silence after some time.

“It's fine. There are still chances in the future,” Natalie responded without hesitation.

I was utterly shocked to hear that. What? Did she just say that there are still chances? How can a girlsay that?
