Chapter 539 Still Angry

The instant Michael heard my retort, he frowned slightly, and a flash of annoyance glinted in his eyes as he stared at me. “Are you still angry at me because of the incident last night?”

He got to his feet and strode over to me, gazing down at me. When he spoke, his tone was much gentler. My heart skipped a beat at his sudden tenderness. However, recalling his aloof attitude toward me last night, I still felt a tad aggrieved.

“No. You’re thinking too much,” I murmured indifferently. I then turned my head away, not wanting to speak to him.

“You were the one who forced me to promise not to touch you last night, and I kept my word. So why are you still angry even though I kept my promise?”

 

Michael’s beguiling brows arched a fraction, and amusement danced in his eyes that were pinned on me.

“I told you that I’m not angry. What’s there to be angry about?”

Despite saying that, wrath churned within me. Yet, I couldn’t show it. If I were to voice that loud and clear, I would appear too petty.

“Look at your expression right now. It’s clear as day that you’re angry. Is it because I was detached toward you last night?”

“No.”

Although that was what I said, I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at him inwardly. Hah! Is he not aware of his own attitude toward me last night? Don’t tell me he still needs me to answer him plainly?

I brushed past him to leave, but he grabbed my hand.

“All right, don’t be mad anymore. My attitude was indeed terrible last night, but it was all because of you.”

Michael hugged me as he apologized, but the second half of his utterance had the fury within me flaring back to life.

“Because of me? So following your logic, it was me who was at fault instead, is that right?”
