Chapter 429 Blushing Endlessly

Michael’s blunt words made me flush red. I couldn’t believe he said that with a straight face on.

We hadn’t had the chance to have a proper conversation since that night, and we certainly hadn’t been intimate in a while. Yet, he was being that straightforward.

“You shameless oaf!”

I pushed Michael as hard as I could. My body wasn’t opposed to being with him, but I didn’t like the idea of him forcing my hands. Moreover, I still hadn’t moved on from the incident last year, and I was truly annoyed.

“Shameless? Weren’t you enjoying yourself that night, too? Can you really say that you didn’t feel anything at all?”

Michael’s words were even more shameless, and his lips had already reached my ear. He was nibbling on my ear and neck.

“Michael Shaw, leave me the hell alone!”

I exerted my energy and pushed him while anger kept building inside my heart. This guy really can say all sorts of shameless things without feeling anything. Seriously, is he that into forcing others?

He used his weight to pin me down and prevented me from moving about. I tried to push at him but to no avail. By then, his hand had already started caressing my body, and his breathing had become uneven.

I knew the desire within him was burning wildly, and my heart trembled. I stopped pushing him as hard.

“Weren’t you rejecting me just moments ago? Why are you stopping now? You’ve missed me this past year, haven’t you?”

He whispered endlessly into my ears, and I blushed after hearing them, but my body reacted differently.

I closed my eyes and ignored him completely. There was no point for me to struggle since he wouldn’t let me go, no matter what I say. This man has always behaved this way. He will only do what he wants and will force others’ hands if necessary.

I kept my eyes closed and let Michael do whatever he wanted with me.

When my body was ready, he entered me.

Perhaps it was because I was at a sexually active age, but I could feel my own body losing control. It was an undeniable fact that I was enjoying it.

This time around, Michael didn’t go crazy and ignore my well-being. He was much gentler, and at the very least, he didn’t make me suffer.

When all was done, he rested on top of me and panted. I was utterly exhausted by then. This is the second time we slept together after I return to the country.

At first, I was determined to make sure that I would no longer have any attachment to him. It seemed that this mission of mine was not as easy as I initially thought.

“Anna, come back to me and be mine.”

Michael’s voice was deep and husky as he whispered into my ear.

My heart jumped. There was a moment when I was tempted, but that temptation quickly faded away and was replaced with hatred.

I closed my eyes and ignored him, but underneath it all, I thought it was funny. If he’s that in love and that eager to get me to go back to him, why did he hurt me all those years ago? Did he regret his actions?

So what if he regrets it? It’s too late now, anyway.

“Anna, I will make you come back to me willingly, and I will make you fall for me once more.”

He wasn’t angry with my silence and spoke with determination while resting beside me.

My heart stirred a little when I heard that, but I acted as though I did not hear what he said. I would ignore every word Michael said at that moment. The same warning kept echoing in my mind. You must not cave.

Michael stared for quite some time before he averted his gaze. It was as if he knew I wouldn’t talk to him, but he wasn’t angry about that. He simply carried me to the bedroom and helped me clean up.

At the moment, he behaved the way he did when we first got married. He was gentle and treated me like a piece of treasure.

I couldn’t help replaying the sweet memories we made together. That was a time when I thought I was the happiest woman on Earth and that Michael would love me forever. It wasn’t until a year ago did I realize how naïve I was. It was laughable, really. The past me probably let my guard down and trusted him because he treated me the way he is treating me now.

His tenderness at that moment tempted me so, so much, but I worked hard to keep myself calm. I didn’t want to be the idiot I used to be a year ago. I certainly would not let myself remain ignorant until the damage was already done.

“Michael, what do I have to do to get you to leave me alone?”

I opened my eyes and looked at him. I did not speak too loudly, but I made sure that my tone was serious. The thing was, my heart was truly swaying, and it worried me. What if I couldn’t stand my ground as time passed?
