Chapter 507 Strangers

As a direct consequence of Michael’s zeal from the night before, I was forced to descend the stairs in small steps. “What’s the matter, Anna?” Josephine asked with concern as she came halfway up the stairs to help me down.

I fell silent in embarrassment.

“Er… Nothing. I’m fine,” I said, finding it difficult to be frank with her regarding the nature of my soreness.

“You appear to be limping. Did you hurt your legs?”

My evasive answer did not succeed in dispelling Josephine’s worry. Instead, her eyes narrowed with suspicion and worry as she kept up her relentless interrogation.

“I’m really all right, Mom. There’s no need to worry about me.”

Though I was touched by her concern, what happened in the bedroom should stay in the bedroom. Worst of all, it was the sexual prowess of her son under discussion. It made me cringe to even consider telling her the truth.

“Are you sure you’re fine? You should call in sick today if you feel under the weather.”

To my intense relief, Josephine seemed to have deemed my explanation satisfactory as she did not pursue the subject any further.
