Caught by surprise, Michael froze momentarily before giving me a probing look. “Did my mom drop by?” Indeed, nothing could escape his eyes. I lowered my head, my silence implicitly admitting it.

Michael’s face clouded over. It was obvious to me that he was frustrated. Just when he was about to answer me after a brief pause, his phone suddenly rang. When he took it out from his pocket and saw that it was his mother, his expression darkened even more.

Obviously, Josephine was calling Michael to get him to break up with me. I felt a little nervous as I wondered what his decision would be.

Looking at Michael, I clasped my hands anxiously and waited for him to answer. “Hello, Mom,” Michael answered the call plainly. His tone didn’t betray the solemn expression on his face. “Michael, come home at once.

I want to talk to you about Anna.” When I heard Josephine’s snarky tone over the phone, I figured she must be still exasperated with me. Upon hearing his mother’s orders, Michael snapped, “I’m busy and exhausted today. Whatever it is, we’ll talk another day.”

He sounded emotionless. It seemed to me that both mother and son were not on the same page. “Michael, you are getting more headstrong by the day. Do you really want to piss me off over a girl?” Sitting opposite Michael, I could hear everything loud and clear.

Insecurity began to creep up on me when I heard Josephine’s words. I was really worried that Michael would abandon me and my child because of her.
