320 Don’t Question My Decision

Michael waved his arms and said, “I don’t know, Cecily. What are you suspecting? I’ve already told you that I’m working for Brandon. You’re asking me if this has anything to do with General Lovecraft. If you have anything else to ask, say it. Are you suspecting that I’m still in a relationship with Joanna? Do you think I’ve betrayed you and got together with another woman? Are you suspecting this?”

“It’s not like there’s only one woman in the royal family.” Michael’s words also angered me, and I blurted without thinking.

“Oh my god, is this what you think of me? Our relationship isn’t enough for you to trust me!” Michael roared.

I shrugged at Michael. “I don’t know.”

I didn’t know what Michael was doing, but it was a fact that he went out early and came back late every day, and he didn’t want to bring me along. The mate relationship could prove many things, but it couldn’t tell me what my mate was doing. It had nothing to do with loyalty, and I didn’t like to have things hidden from me.

“You don’t know?” Michael reached out to grab my arm and put it on his chest. “Then feel it for yourself. Come on, feel who my heart is beating for.”

I was pulled by Michael and fell on the sofa. I had no choice but to look up at his face. Michael’s eyes turned golden because of his agitation. At this time, Michael and I were only separated by a thin layer of clothes, but I felt like we were two people standing on the other side of the ocean.

“That’s not the problem, Michael. The problem is whether you’re being honest with me,” I said softly.

…..
“You still don’t believe me. What do you want to ask? Ask me!”

“I’m asking you, will you tell me everything?”

“Yes, if you have any questions, ask me. Of course, I will answer all your questions, just like the previous question. No, I didn’t get close to any other woman. I never betrayed you, understand? Would you like me to prove it to you? I can swear to the Moon Goddess that I’ve never done anything to let you down.”

I pursed my lips and began to feel tired from this conversation.

Michael knew what I cared about, but he refused to face it. He refused to tell me what he was doing, and he refused to admit his lies. These oaths were meaningless.

“I heard it. I know. That’s enough, Michael. You didn’t let me down. That’s great. I’m tired now. I want to go to sleep.” I got up from the sofa and wanted to end the conversation.

“Stop!”

An angry shout came from behind me.

“That’s great, huh? What do you want me to do? Tell me, don’t treat me like that. The first thing I did when I woke up was apologize to you. What else do you want, Cecily?”

“Apologize? Then don’t just brush me off!” I suddenly turned around and shouted at Michael, “Michael, don’t talk about these insignificant things. Let’s talk about something that matters. What are you going to do today? Can I go with you?

“Don’t give me those irrelevant excuses, and don’t apologize to me. I don’t need these. I want to hear the truth from you. You want our hearts to be together still, right? That’s good. Tell me everything now.”

I stared at Michael and observed the expression on his face. I caught his body stiffening, but Michael quickly covered it with his movements. His body relaxed again, and then I saw him return to his previous attitude and tone.

“Tell you what?” Michael said with a dark expression.

A huge wave of disappointment engulfed me. I pressed my hand against my chest, rising and falling due to my intense breathing, and shook my head at Michael.

I sat on the sofa for half the night, and now that I suddenly got up, I felt a little dizzy. I felt my vision was pitch black and staggered two steps to the side. I refused Michael’s hand, reaching out to support me, and supported myself against the sofa.

I heard Michael say calmly, “I don’t know what you want me to tell you. I’m going to help Brandon deal with some royal documents today. I can’t bring you with me because you don’t know the relationship among the people in the royal family. You can’t help me with this.”

‘Can’t help?’ It explained nothing, and Michael thought he could send me away like this. Did he think I was one of those noble ladies who relied on the status of a Prince’s consort to survive and knew nothing about everything?

I was so angry that I wanted to laugh. I stopped walking toward the bedroom, turned around, and said to Michael, “I’m your mate. I’m telling you, Michael, I have the right to know everything that has happened to you.”

“Yes, you are my mate. I hope you remember this.” Michael stretched out his hand and pressed me against his body. Our bodies were tightly pressed together. I was completely under his power. I wanted to struggle, but Michael held me tightly. “You’re mine, so be good and listen to me. Stay here, and don’t question my decision.”
